Study Smarter is amazing! Joel and his team of highly skilled tutors and academic support specialists provided the hands-on, intensive support to my son that he needed to succeed. We have used Study Smarter for middle school academic support, and for college prep work around essay preparation, application assistance, and specific class tutoring. Not only did staff here ensure that my son nailed the ACT, he got accepted to multiple colleges. Staff also taught him the value of asking for help when he needed it most - boosting his confidence, giving him the skills he needs to thrive as a young adult, and saving the parent-child relationship in the process. I have and will continue to refer Study Smarter to friends and colleagues who need academic support for their children. My son actually looked forward to his sessions with Study Smarter, and now knows that seeking out help and learning from it is a gift.

We are huge fans of Study Smarter. They offer a really rigorous test prep curriculum for the SAT and ACT and the teachers are excellent. My daughter raised her score considerably because she was willing to put the work in. She had heard from other kids at school not to do Study Smarter because there's a lot of homework. But she was really motivated to do well on the SAT so she wanted to sign up with them. We were really glad we did.

My tutor was a UC Berkeley student, very nice and smart, but not the best at teaching. I think that this company is overpriced for what they're offering... $120/hr for homework help isn't cheap! Our tutor told us that she was only getting $30/hr out of that... maybe that explains why their quality wasn't the best. We ended up doing better with an independent tutor recommended through our school.
