Kevin Burke, CEO, Trinity Capital LLC

“Cindy is one of the premier tutors and college consultants/advocates in the Los Angeles area. She has a good grasp of the admissions criteria for the major colleges and universities and is good at attenuating advice for students of different calibers. Three of my children have worked with Cindy and we were very pleased with the results. My daughter picked up approximate 600 points on her SAT through her work with Cindy. You can’t go wrong with Rainbow or Cindy.”

Greta Gersh, Windward School Graduate and University of Michigan Student

“I worked very closely alongside Cindy Chanin during the college application process and am able to say that my experience was truly amazing. After countless hours of hard work and dedication on both ends, we were able to create a beautiful personal narrative, a collegiate resume, and school specific supplemental pieces etc. Cindy was the an incredibly supportive and inspiring mentor through this process and without her endless guidance and wisdom I would not have been able to acquire the incredible results that I did. Cindy was exceedingly professional, responsive, and punctual throughout my time with her. I cannot imagine what the college application process would have looked like without Cindy in the picture, she was my hero, and I’m so grateful to have met her as someone I look forward to having in my life, beyond.”

Jessica Burgess, Graham High School in Texas Graduate and USC School of Dramatic Arts Student

“Cindy is an absolute visionary. I am a senior in high school, and I met Cindy a few months before I began this school year. My strengths academically are mainly in reading, writing, social studies, and philosophy, but Cindy has enhanced my knowledge and appreciation for mathematics, science, and my capabilities in problem solving as a whole. When I first met Cindy, I was in desperate need of a math tutor, but what I received was more than I could have ever imagined. Aside from her outstanding mathematical capabilities, Cindy has served as my mentor, ultimate problem solver, entrepreneurial guru, and ultimate inspiration throughout my college prep and application process.

As a fellow performer, and actress, Cindy also has helped me explore my passion for theatre, and expand it to become a flourishing intrigue with anthropology, psychology, and motivational speaking. She is literally the reason that I am now travelling as a motivational speaker/ Body Positive facilitator to youth, ranging from middle school to high school. In offering her invaluable time, ambitious mindset, and incredibly compassionate demeanor, she has allowed me to find my true passions, and encourage others to do the same.

Furthermore, Cindy is beyond this world amazing. Whether to call her an angel, an oracle, a goddess, a reincarnated Albert Einstein, or any other form of awe, I am not worthy to concretely say. However, I can attest that Cindy has absolutely changed my vision for myself and the world around me, my societal views and aspirations, as well as having enhanced my mathematical and test taking capabilities.

Truly, Cindy is the most wonderful, kind, creative, talented, and intelligent essence, one could ever hope to meet or aspire to become.”

Star Jasper, Larchmont Charter Parent

“Cindy Chanin understands the testing and admission process like no other. She has an extensive professional background and helped us navigate the high school admission process for our daughter, like a Ninja! Cindy invested her time and energy into our daughter and took it upon herself to get to know her. She was able to decipher what kind of learner she was and which of her tutors would be a good fit for her. For the weeks that we worked with Rainbow EDU, Cindy called everyday. She wanted feedback about the tutoring sessions and wanted our daughter to feel confident and empowered. Cindy is a student advocate and coach. Much, much more than a tutor. This is a full-service operation…the real deal. Cindy Chanin…Rainbow EDU…I just lucked out…hope you do too!”

Constantino, USC Student

"I really appreciate Cindy and Rachel’s holistic approach to preparing college essays and applications. They helped me understand that I need to express myself with authenticity.

Jennifer Baldacchino, Parent to Gabriella Baldacchino, USC Student/Actor

“Cindy was super helpful with the right questions during our college search. Our family lives on the East Coast, and our daughter hadn’t seriously considered college in Los Angeles. Cindy recommended USC. It wasn’t even on our radar! Cindy gave her a hands-on tour of the campus, and introduced her to the assistant dean of her program. It was like an interview on the spot! We all cried tears of joy when she got into USC. Now, she’s studying in the region where her future career will be, giving her a competitive edge."

I would not be where I was now if it had not been for her creative ingenuity and steadfast guidance.”
