Strive to Learn College Counseling & Tutoring

We utilized Strive to Learn for our daughter Malia. She is the oldest in our family so navigating all that goes into the college application process was completely foreign to us. As such we purchased the comprehensive package as we felt it provided the best value for our needs. Malia was paired with William as her counselor and he was fantastic to work with. He did a great job in guiding her to look at different schools that may not have been on her radar based on various surveys she had completed. He kept her on task and we always knew when the deadlines were for the schools she was applying to. They worked closely on her college essays which was invaluable. We will be utilizing William and strive to learn again with our son who is currently a junior. I would highly recommend William and Strive to learn.

Strive to Learn is the only place I would ever recommend for college counseling, tutoring, or test prep (and I've done all three over the years with various tutors/counselors). Honestly, some companies are so corrupt and really just want to exploit people's anxiety about college admissions and test scores. In the three years since I started with a tutor at StL, I have only ever felt empowered and encouraged by the whole team. I could talk forever about the value of their services, or the amazing community outreach, or the fact that my ACT composite score went from a 26 to a 32 with their help. It all boils down to their devotion to their students - my friends and I all were matched with different counselors, and each of the five of us felt that we got high quality support to write the best essays, be our best selves at interviews, and find the best financial aid opportunities. School prestige obviously isn't everything, but in case you care: I'm now attending a top 20 university in the US, with a 15% acceptance rate (and a 3.5% acceptance rate within my specific major). I owe it all to them, and I can't recommend this company enough. Thank you Strive!!

Strive to Learn online classes have been AH-mazing! My kids don't even realize they are learning a skill (like Coding!) because they are having so much fun! Shout out to instructor Tristan's amazing way with kids! And the Drama class produces wiggle time giggles and belly laughs, my kids love it. I call this guilt free screen time for busy parents juggling Covid Crisis education for their children.

We had a great experience with Strive to Learn. My twin girls were both treated as individuals and had excellent tutoring and college counseling. The team at Strive is professional, attentive, and organized and I would highly recommend them! Suzan

The staff really got to know my son and not the not support his academics but helped him research and find a college that was right for him.
