What Students & Parents Have Said About Wise Owl Tutoring...

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the service you provide. My daughter was VERY skeptical about attending tutoring, feeling that it would be a waste of her time. After her first hour with Miglena, she was excited and energized for her next hour with Kathryn. On the way home she could not stop talking about how she now understood radicals. She is looking forward to next week.

Thanks for your help once again. I always hear from my kids each and every time how great you are. I have also heard from all the kids and their parents I have recommended the same kind of sentiment. You have a real gift for relating to kids!

Ed's SAT score improved 110 points just from using the test strategy you showed him.

-Mrs. F

Zack was in the IB program at Seminole High, and when it came time for him to take the SAT, he had the silly idea that he didn't need to do any test prep because he was confident he could tackle it on his own. Despite my advice to meet with a tutor, my stubborn brother took the test blind. I guess his scores from that one test put his ego in check because he called me that day at work to see if I could get him on the schedule with Bettie to do some test prep before his next SAT. He met with Bettie ~5 times before he took the next test, and after working extremely hard during those few weeks and internalizing Bettie's test prep advice, he raised his score 350 points. Though his IB diploma had already gotten him Bright Futures scholarship, the increase in his SAT score was the edge he needed to be accepted to the Honors Program at University of Florida in Gainesville. Zack, like many advanced students, took for granted the strategy and basic skills inherent to the SAT--it didn't matter that he was making A's in Calculus or AP English Lang. because he had forgotten basic skills. Bettie was able to introduce the strategy of the test, as well as remind him to carefully read the math questions that involved basic skills he had relegated to his calculator. The true success story of all of this: Zack is now less reluctant to take advice from his big sister :-)

My daughter's algebra grade has improved from failing to a C.

-Mrs. H

Alex's ACT composite score improved from 19 to 27! We're so proud of him and we know that it was a combination of study, focus, and help from Bettie.

-Mrs. M

This was a first! During the test, the solutions appeared like magic. Thank you for your departing words which gave me the confidence I needed, which was to remember that I could do it. Those words got me through the more difficult questions, when I would then recall how to breathe, and keep my head up.

-Sandra

My son's SAT score for just math and reading went up by 300 points. Thanks to your help, he more than qualifies for Bright Futures.

-Mrs. N

Ashley's pre-algebra grade was one point away from failing two weeks into the 9-weeks term. She ended with a 'C' for the 9-weeks. She was so excited. Thanks for your help.

-Mrs. F

Would you? Could you? You would. You did. And Grateful-I-am. (with apologies to Dr. Seuss)

Please excuse the Suessian humor. I wanted to thank you for your help. I passed the exam this afternoon. If it was not for your tutoring, patience and support, I would never have passed the exam. Thanks for saving my job. I really appreciate it. Maybe I can actually have a chance to try just teaching for a change. Thanks.

-Keith

Wow! I can't believe my SAT scores went up by 330 points! And that's just Critical Reading and Math.
