Our Tutors

Our tutors are here to guide students to get the score they need for the school they want based upon what the student needs. Not to mention the opportunity to get more scholarship money or help ensure their college experience is as beneficial as possible by allowing them to take the courses they want, rather than being required to take courses that mirror the high school experience.

As a mom, I couldn’t be happier that we enrolled our son at Get Smarter Prep. With their coaching and support, he improved his ACT score by 6 points, which is a big deal and has given him more options for college. The teachers were supportive, always ready to help, and the study materials were easy to follow and well-structured. Overall, we had a great experience and are truly thankful to Caleb and his team at Get Smarter Prep. I highly recommend them to any parent looking to help their child reach their ACT goals.

Anne Schoofs

We are so pleased with the professionalism, the knowledge, the skills and the outcome we have had from our experience. Not to mention 100 percent positive, responsive, flexible and supportive interactions during a stressful and busy chapter! The super score went up a whopping 6 points and after working with you each section showed significant growth.

Finally, and probably most importantly in the long run, it increased her confidence that she can master material and test well even when the test formats are unintuitive to begin with.

Get Smarter Prep was an amazing experience because it completely changed the way I approached the ACT. Caleb taught me strategies that showed me it’s not just about what content you know, but the techniques you use to ensure quicker pacing and higher accuracy. I was able to increase 6 points within just a few weeks.

Daniel Alcazar

A great experience — and a big jump in our son’s ACT score. Our son took the Get Smarter Prep ACT FLEX Course, and it made a real difference across every section. He ended up with a significant jump in his overall score, and we’re all thrilled. The program delivers, and the communication and flexibility really stood out for our family. The team is strong and Caleb [as President and instructor] was thoughtful, steady, and genuinely invested in helping our son succeed. The 1:1 guidance gave him confidence and helped him approach the test with a clear plan instead of stress. The whole process felt supportive and effective; exactly what you hope for as a parent. We’re grateful for the team and highly recommend them.
