Alyssa, 11th-12th Grade

Katie is so great! She really broke down problems to help me understand what I was doing and how I should be doing it. Also, she was so patient and had me do the work instead of telling me the answer, even if it meant sitting there for 15 minutes. She knew it would “click” eventually, and it always did.

Hayley, Now Attends University of Wisconsin – Madison

+5 points – 29 to 34

When it came time for me to take the ACT Katie helped me bring my score up 5 points! She gave me strategies specific to my personal weaknesses, and taught me how to manage the test in ways my practice book didn’t.

Jonathan, Now Attends Western Michigan University

+5 points – 16 to 21

My family and I could not have asked for a better tutor than Katie. My ACT score went up 5 points after my time working with her. Katie’s services can prepare any student for any test. Her services make students feel positive and prepared before a test, comfortable in their ability and preparation, and accomplished and relieved once they receive the score they were aiming for, if not higher. Katie does an excellent job preparing a personal and positive work environment for any student, and making that student feel comfortable with the format and questions on their upcoming test. Katie’s knowledge and personality make her an excellent asset to any student in need of some extra help.

Wendy, Son Now Attends University of Northwestern – St. Paul

+2 points – 31 to 33

Just had to share with you. Wes got his ACT results today: 33!! He went from a 31 to a 33 so that was great. His math score was a 28 and reading and writing were both 35. Science increased several points, too. Thanks for all your hard work with him. 🙂

Jane, Son Now Attends University of Minnesota – Twin Cities

+4 points – 19 to 23

My son, Ryan took the ACT for the first time and received a 19.  He started meeting with Katie on a regular basis to prepare for the test for the next time around. When he took it again, he received a 23!  So, Ryan improved by 4 points and has now been accepted into the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities Campus.

Jim, 12th Grade Daughter

Katie was integral to our daughter’s academic success in 10th-12th grade, helping her with mathematics, essay writing (in English), time management and organization skills, and – her senior year – the ACT.  Katie was extremely patient while working with our daughter, who has challenges concentrating/ staying on task because of ADHD, and was always able to work through the assignment with her, no matter how daunting it first appeared. When it came time for our daughter to take the ACT, she improved her score by 7 points after working with Katie! This allowed her to achieve the score she needed to get into the college of her dreams. We are so glad our daughter had the opportunity to work with Katie!

Jane, 12th Grade Son and Daughter

Katie tutored both of my kids individually to help them raise their ACT scores. I recommend her to anyone interested in getting one-on-one extra help/assistance in personal tutoring.  For example:  My son, Ryan took the ACT for the first time and received a 19.  He started meeting with Katie on a regular basis to prepare for the test for the next time around. When he took it again, he received a 23!  So, Ryan improved by 4 points and has now been accepted into the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities Campus.

Brenda, 12th grade daughter

Katie is a true professional who knows her stuff, but also cares about her students. My daughter’s ACT score went up 5 points with Katie’s help, and resulted in a scholarship that more than offset the investment in tutoring (by thousands!). We are forever grateful!
