  • Jen C - SAT Success Through Tutoring Guidance

    I highly recommend Method Learning for SAT prep. My son worked with Garrett leading up to the March SAT and increased his score by 100 points. He loves Garrett’s style of teaching and feels the methods he has taught him have been so valuable. He even asked to keep working with Garrett as he knows his score will continue to improve with every lesson they complete. Garrett has taught him very clear techniques and strategies that click and stick! Garrett has great follow up skills and truly cares about his students progress.

  • Jill B - Custom Study Plan Drives ACT Success

    I highly recommend Method Learning for the incredible support they provided in helping my daughter improve her ACT scores. From the moment we signed up, the team was incredibly attentive, professional, and dedicated to her success. The personalized study plan they created for her was tailored to her strengths and weaknesses, and the practice tests were invaluable in boosting her confidence and skill level.

  • Megan U - Progress and Positivity with Tutoring

    Donald was amazing! This is the second time we’ve had the pleasure of working with him. He’s upbeat and nice, professional and relatable. Both of my children looked forward to their sessions and both also made significant progress while working with him. Worth every penny. We highly recommend.

  • Edgar C - Private Sessions Paid Off

    Keith was very experienced in both Math and English and really took the time in explaining how to approach every question with my son. They would review all of the practice tests and showed him what to look for in getting the correct answer. I highly recommend using Method Learning for private tutoring as this seemed to be the most helpful with my son.

  • Karen - Personalized SAT Prep That Delivered

    I highly recommend Method Learning, especially for helping your student prepare for the ACT or SAT. My daughter significantly increased her score and, after working with Kevin, now has a strong SAT score. Tom and Kevin were incredibly accommodating—taking the time to listen to our situation, understand what we were looking for, and provide my daughter with the tools and resources she needed to succeed. We would absolutely do it all over again. Highly recommend!

  • Jorge O - Supportive SAT Prep with Real Results

    My daughter worked with Steve, and he was wonderful! At first, she was nervous because of her previous SAT scores, but Steve helped her achieve a score that seemed years ahead for her. Mr. Ehlers and Steve were both great! They are professional, dedicated, and their priorities are the students. I would highly recommend Method Learning to anyone!
