What Educators are Saying
From Susan Weingartner, Dir. of College Counseling, Francis W. Parker School:
"While other agencies have focused on tricks to beat the test, Academic Approach focuses on problem solving and learning grammatical rules or reading strategies to assist with multiple choice tests. The results have been nothing short of remarkable; our students have qualified for more scholarships and have been admitted to more colleges."
From Holly Parker, English Department Chair, Brooks School:
“What impresses me most about them is their flexible curriculum. They have developed online resources that target the test, but could be a boon to any English teacher’s classroom. They have been wonderful in sending tutors to work with one on one with our students during free periods and on weekends. Their flexibility in scheduling, knowledge of standardized testing and exceptional teaching skills have helped raise the test taking confidence of many of my students. The skills that they are building reinforce what is happening in our classrooms everyday.”
