What Our Clients Say About us
Audrey 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. We encouraged Trevor to work hard to minimize the number of times he has to take the exam. Ashley provided so many tips and tricks when taking the test. He had 9 hours (6 sessions) with Ashley prior to the Feb exam. Trevor 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 after just over a month! That's great progress and the course pays for itself instantly with the academic aid scholarship you will receive from state schools with your 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 and 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!!! Caleb and Get Smarter Prep were 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 never complained about going (so we knew she was finding value in her sessions) and she 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 2025Get Smarter Prep coached my daughter for the PSAT, dramatically increasing her score after just 4 sessions.Their expertise is in familiarizing a student with HOW to approach the test (almost everyone runs out of time) and in refreshing their memory about content, some of which they learned long ago. All of which increases confidence.
My daughter is now using Get Smarter Prep to prepare for the ACT. While there's an upfront cost, I expect to earn that back in multiples with scholarships (4x) that wouldn't have been available to her with a lower score.
Last point: They're good people who recognize the need for balance in a student's life so they focus on being efficient.
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 2024My husband and I both work full time, and with four kids, our evenings were total chaos between homework, practices, and events. Homework was by far the most stressful part. Get Smarter Prep has lifted that weight off of our shoulders. We know our boys are getting the guidance they need, and our world is peaceful again!
Tamara Day
Blue Valley North Parent | Class of 2023We 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 were very impressed with Get Smarter Prep. My senior son was able to work 1:1 with Ashley for only 10.5 hours and raised his ACT score 4 points! The communication was superb, the location was clean and quiet, and they did a fantastic job teaching appropriate strategies to improve overall test taking skills and knowledge. Thank you Get Smarter Prep!
Mel Bright
Blue Valley High Parent | Class of 2023Caleb did a great job and and my daughter got a 3 point increase on her ACT!!
Jo Gibson
Olathe West High School Parent | 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 2023Jensen's scores jumped from 26 to 30. He just received notification of a $25k annual scholarship award from one of his potential universities (University of Arizona) due to his ACT score. Although your prep course is not cheap, it is DEFINITELY worth the investment!!
Scott Samuels
Blue Valley North Parent | Class of 2018Thank 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. We will share your name with others and really appreciate your guidance.
