What Our Clients Say About us
Caleb was amazing - he really helped my son learn how he could improve his score and had a great demeanor. Most importantly my son got the result he wanted.
Kristin Kratofil
Rockhurst High School Parent | Class of 2026I would absolutely recommend Get Smarter Prep for ACT test prep and also college counseling. Caleb took his time getting to know our daughter's needs and was able to provide the right tutors to help her succeed. We appreciated that he was always available along the way for questions and discussions. Our daughter brought her ACT score up 6 points after working with Abbey. She is excellent and was a great fit for our daughter.
Liz Aarons
Shawnee Mission East High School Parent | Class of 2025We had a great experience with Get Smarter Prep! Our daughter increased her test scores by 3 points by going through the program, and she really liked the tutors; thought they were great!
Sylvia Haverty
St. Teresa's Academy High School Parent | Class of 2026We had heard great things about Get Smarter Prep, and after our own experience, I would 100% concur. Get Smarter Prep gets results!
Liz Wakeman
Blue Valley North High School Parent | Class of 2025Audrey was amazing with our son! He increased 8 points from his first practice test. He felt he was able to learn so many tips for test taking on top of increased knowledge. She was also great to schedule with!
Carrie Wieneke Broghammer
Shawnee Mission East High School Parent | Class of 2025Get Smarter Prep exceeded our expectations! My son had a 6-point increase after tutoring with Audrey.
Erica Creger
Rockhurst High School Parent | Class of 2025My twin boys completed the Presidential prep course with Caleb. It was so beneficial to them. It was alot of work, but when all was said and done one raised his score by 5 points and the other raised his score by 6 points! I highly recommend Caleb and Get Smarter Prep!!
Michelle Pierceall
Blue Valley North Parent | Class of 2025My son Trevor worked with Ashley on his ACT prep. She provided so many tips and tricks when taking the test. He had 9 hours (6 sessions) with Ashley and was able to increase his score by 4 points. Trevor was so happy on the accomplishment and he would not have been able to do that without the help from GSP.
Tricia Bennett
Blue Valley North Parent | Class of 2025If you study, it's worth the money. My score increased 4 points! That's great progress and the course pays for itself instantly with the scholarships I'll receive from state schools with my score. My tutor and ``group`` (myself and two classmates) were great and made the learning experience motivating.
Will Reynolds
Lincoln College Preparatory Academy Student | Class of 2025The tutors were great to talk to. They listened to what our expectations were, understood where our daughter was with respect to academic depth and tailored the curriculum perfectly. We are very fortunate to have found Get Smarter Prep.
Sanjeev Uruppattur
Blue Valley Northwest Parent | Class of 2025The proof is in the test scores. My daughter, after working with a tutor from Get Smarter Prep, raised her ACT score to meet her stretch goal! Her stretch goal, meaning she never thought she could meet that number! GSP was amazing and gave her the knowledge, skills and confidence to tackle the ACT!
Kim Wilkie
Blue Valley North Parent | Class of 2025We originally landed on Get Smarter Prep because of their strong reviews and the fact that they are a local business that “gets” students in this area. Our experience definitely lived up to our intuition. The instructors were smart, strategic and supportive, recognizing the differing needs of students. Our daughter was able to increase her SuperScore 6 points, which was the aggressive goal she set for herself on day one.
Rob Persaud
Blue Valley West Parent | Class of 2025I worked with Caleb for six hours and was absolutely thrilled with the results - I was able to meet my composite score goal of 35!! I really looked forward to the sessions; they provided just the right balance of content review and test-taking strategies! I would wholeheartedly recommend GSP to anyone who is prepping for the ACT.
Mia Glasow
Blue Valley North Student | Class of 2025Their expertise is in familiarizing a student with HOW to approach the test and in refreshing their memory about content, some of which they learned long ago. All of which increases confidence.While there's an upfront cost, I expect to earn that back in multiples with scholarships (4x) that wouldn't have been available to my daughter with a lower score.
Neal Gagen
Shawnee Mission East Parent | Class of 2025Thank you Get Smarter Prep for helping my daughter gain 8 points on her ACT score! I highly recommend this prep class. The instructors communicated throughout the process and taught her many valuable tips.
Michelle McVay
Heritage Christian Academy Parent | Class of 2024We had a wonderful experience at Get Smarter Prep! Caleb explained the process and options. Our daughter set what we thought were realistic goals for the time we had before the next testing event. In six sessions with the amazing tutor Ashley, she raised her score 6 points!!! That far exceeded our expectations and we could not thank Get Smarter enough!
Sarah Pack
Shawnee Mission South Parent | Class of 2023I love all of my tutors at Get Smarter Prep. Everyone is very friendly and I scored way better on my ACT than before prep.
Michael Awopetu
Belton High School | Class of 2022We couldn't be more pleased with the outcomes that both our daughters have realized after working with Get Smarter Prep. 7+ point increases for both of them sure opens up their opportunities!
Jenny Bessenbacher
St. Teresa's Academy Parent | Class of 2023Thank you for your help! Get Smarter Prep helped me get over the hump to a perfect score of 36. You guys were great!
Harvey Ji
Shawnee Mission East | Class of 2020Our daughter Meha got 35 on her first try. She had 29 on pre-test with Caleb, worked with him for barely six weeks. She just started her junior year and we were certain we would be re-testing with more tutoring. Caleb's ability to work with kids is simply amazing!
Komal Hatti
Shawnee Mission Northwest Parent | Class of 2023Your program/tutoring helped my son jump 3-7 points in certain sections! Really fantastic and such a great confidence booster for him! Also, such a testament to the program. This makes it possible, coupled with his awesome grades, to look at the schools he was interested in.
