Why our families rave about our SAT, ACT, and GRE prep tutoring

"After meeting with Josefine we felt that Strive to Learn was a good fit for our children. Our son had a very small window in which to work with a program to meet his desired SAT score goal. In 5 weeks Luc was able to accommodate our son's schedule and not only meet but exceed our son's goal. His SAT score increased by 160 points after 5 weeks of working with Luc."

Parent

"This was a great experience, they were flexible with our son's schedule and in just a few months of weekly tutoring our son went from a composite score of 27 to a 33 on the ACT. His English score went from 25 to 35!
Josh R. was so helpful and knowledgeable, teaching my son so much more in the areas of Math and English, not just how to take the test. This was money well spent."
