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

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!

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
