Lisa K., Parent

“Our Summit tutor was great! My son really enjoyed his sessions and actually looked forward to them. The tutor kept us well-informed about the material they covered as well as my son’s progress.

"He is a phenomenal tutor who helped our son achieve a score even better than we had hoped. He was methodical in breaking down the areas that needed improvement and coached our son how to overcome his weaknesses. We couldn't have asked for a better tutor."

Susan K., Parent

“Our son's tutor was wonderful! He was able to assess his strengths and weaknesses, and work with him to improve his ACT scores. His score increase was much larger than we were expecting! I can see our son's work with his tutor carrying over into his classes as he is now getting As in English, while he has never done so before.”
