We had a great experience with Get Smarter Prep! To be honest, I myself was initially skeptical that a... tutoring program would benefit (or even be necessary for) my already high-achieving student. I couldn't have been more wrong. Every individual from GSP with whom we dealt was professional, promptly responded to our particular needs, and was easy to work with. The particular test-taking tips and strategies my daughter learned from her tutor, Ashley, improved an already quite good score, to a really first-rate one. Ashley even was kind enough to call to congratulate my daughter on her test results (well after the program had ended), leaving me with the sense that the tutors employed by GSP are not just going through the motions, but rather truly care that each student has the chance to attain the best possible score. Overall, a very worthwhile investment.read more

We 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!read more

We 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!read more

My son did private tutoring at Get Smarter Prep in preparation for the ACT. His scores went up dramatically... in the areas he was struggling with. He took his test in July and met his goal. My son was thrilled and now he can focus on Junior year without the stress of the ACT. I know that people usually get 'tutoring' for students they hope will go onto very high end schools, but even students planning on attending a state school can benefit from a bump in their scores. My son is now eligible for scholarships from KU, KState, and UMKC. Even a little tutoring can go a long way!read more

Our 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!read more

We could not be more pleased with our experience with GSP. Both of our children, who have very different... personalities and study styles, really enjoyed working with Caleb. His fun, encouraging, and seasoned approach helped both of them reach their score goals. As a parent, I found Caleb to be a wonderful resource and partner, and I wholeheartedly recommend him!read more

Love all of my tutors, everyone is very friendly and I’m way better at doing ACTs than before this.

Our experience with Get Smarter Prep was exceptional on every front! Our daughter was so pleased with her... tutoring experience with Caleb and is thrilled with her ACT results after taking the December exam. GSP's custom, personal approach allowed her to be well-prepared for her first ACT exam while still fully engaging with her junior year interests and schoolwork. In addition to efficient, first-class test preparation, we are so grateful for the generous support they have provided to our student (and to us as parents) as we navigate the college process for the first time. Thank you!!read more

We had a very unique situation with GSP in that my daughter was involved in ACT tutoring before and during... the pandemic. She had started with tutoring then the pandemic hit. Her ACT test was also cancelled 3 times. During all of the starts and stops Caleb was great about communicating with her and getting her things to practice at home, setting up office hours (when allowed) and working with her to keep her as engaged with practice as possible. After months of starting and stopping she finally was able to take the ACT and did great! She met her goal that she was hoping to meet which helped her get a scholarship to the school she was hoping to get into. We are very pleased with Caleb and Get Smarter Prep and the way that they kept her engaged and focused on her goal despite the all of the craziness and cancellations.read more

My son worked with Gina at Get Smarter Prep, and we are thrilled with the outcome. He worked very hard and... raised his score significantly. Best of all, Gina was one of the first people he wanted to share the news with, which as a parent suggests to me that he respected her and liked working with her. Thank you!read more

Get Smarter Prep has a fantastic team of coaches that meet different student needs from different prep... classes to one-on-one tutoring. They are committed to student success!read more

Our experience with GSP was amazingly professional and personalized to our daughter's needs. Claire... explained things from pre-test that neither myself nor my husband or our daughter would have ever made sense of. Our daughter's strengths and weaknesses were honed in on, and it showed in her final ACT score... she had an 11 point jump! This has opened up her college options to a whole new level.read more

Because of our son's busy schedule, we wanted to find a tutor who could provide targeted ACT prep (without... need for any parental nagging!). We are very grateful for Caleb helping our son substantially improve his ACT score. In addition to substantive work, Caleb shared test-taking strategies that put our son in a position to do his best on the test. Worth every penny of the cost, and likely to pay back disproportionately in scholarship assistance! Doug & Vicki (BVNW Parents)read more

Get Smarter Prep helped me so much when preparing for the ACT! Before them I had taken it about three times... and got the same overall score (which was not great) and fluctuating individual scores. After studying with them for about 3 ish months I bumped my score up enough points to get me into the college I wanted!! They have a great staff that is so friendly and willing to help you with whatever needs you may have!read more

Get Smarter Prep provides a comprehensive program that prepared our daughter for the ACT. We were pleased... with the help she received, and our daughter enjoyed the 10 week program thoroughly. I would recommend Get Smarter Prep to any family looking to understand and navigate the ACT.read more
