What our customers have to say …

  • "We initially used several of the larger, well known tutoring services in Marin for ACT test prep, but after months of tutoring and practice tests, we did not see an improvement in my son's results. Ultimately, after working with Sharman for 3 months, my son’s first real ACT results improved by 10 points. He ultimately improved his score by 12 points, achieving a higher score than he ever thought possible."

Your help boosted my composite by 5 points and I’m now right where I need to be in order to apply out of state without much worry. "

I appreciate your amazing ability to teach. Thank you for building his confidence and making him realize he can accomplish anything if he puts the work in."

    - Parent, BASIS Scottsdale High School, Arizona

  • "As a senior my child had limited time to raise her ACT score. In 4 one hour sessions with Kelly, she was able to raise her composite 2 points and her math and reading to a 27. We had tried other tutors who weren't as patient or as knowledgeable. I will start sooner with my next child, as Kelly is a wealth of information about techniques that could apply to any standardized tests!"
