What Our Students Say About Us
If you study, it's worth the money. My score increased 4 points after just over a month! That's great progress and the course pays for itself instantly with the academic aid scholarship you will receive from state schools with your score. My tutor and ``group`` (myself and two classmates) were great and made the learning experience motivating.
Will Reynolds
Lincoln College Preparatory Academy Student | Class of 2025The tutors were great to talk to. They listened to what our expectations were, understood where our daughter was with respect to academic depth and tailored the curriculum perfectly. We are very fortunate to have found Get Smarter Prep.
Sanjeev Uruppattur
Blue Valley Northwest Parent | Class of 2025We originally landed on Get Smarter Prep because of their strong reviews and the fact that they are a local business that “gets” students in this area. Our experience definitely lived up to our intuition. The instructors were smart, strategic and supportive, recognizing the differing needs of students. Our daughter never complained about going (so we knew she was finding value in her sessions) and she was able to increase her SuperScore 6 points, which was the aggressive goal she set for herself on day one.
Rob Persaud
Blue Valley West Parent | Class of 2025I worked with Caleb for six hours and was absolutely thrilled with the results - I was able to meet my composite score goal of 35!! I really looked forward to the sessions; they provided just the right balance of content review and test-taking strategies! I would wholeheartedly recommend GSP to anyone who is prepping for the ACT.
Mia Glasow
Blue Valley North Student | Class of 2025Great experience! My daughter improved ACT by 6 points. The tutoring sessions were set up at our convenience and easy to get to. Highly recommend!
Cori Passer
Blue Valley West Parent | Class of 2024The pricing schedule is worthwhile and reasonable. The truth is that the tutors care about our kids' success and they want their time teaching to bring relevant results. They're pulling for our kids. My son knew that and I'm convinced that support played a big part in getting across the finish line with great results. He is headed to the US Military Academy Prep School. He adamantly described his desire to attend when he shared how he sought tutors and worked hard for the sole purpose of improving his ACTs. GSP was a critical component to his journey, story, and future and we can't thank them enough.
Michael Tetu
Park Hill Parent | Class of 2023We 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!
Sarah Pack
Shawnee Mission South Parent | Class of 2023We couldn't be more pleased with the outcomes that both our daughters have realized after working with Get Smarter Prep. 7+ point increases for both of them sure opens up their opportunities!
Jenny Bessenbacher
St. Teresa's Academy Parent | Class of 2023Caleb did a great job and and my daughter got a 3 point increase on her ACT!!
Jo Gibson
Olathe West Parent | Class of 2022My 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, K-State, and UMKC. Even a little tutoring can go a long way!
Alisa Siceloff
Shawnee Mission Northwest Parent | Class of 2024We 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!
Mel Bright
Blue Valley High Parent | Class of 2023My score raised three points in less than 10 hours at Get Smarter Prep!

St. James Academy | Class of 2018The Tutors do a great job of explaining different strategies and provide all the necessary practice tests to ensure success on the ACT.
