My daughter has been with Excellerate Learning Studio for 13 months, and her progress is amazing. After just one month, her MAP test percentage jumped from 59% to 82% (later rose to 97%). Her attitude toward math completely shifted—she went from hating it to loving it. They helped her build a strong foundation and develop excellent study skills and independence. Her confidence grew so much that she moved into the accelerated math program at school. With personalized attention and no homework from her twice-weekly sessions, she easily balances her other commitments. They have truly made a difference!

I’m genuinely thrilled to see how much the kids have progressed! With the support of wonderful teachers and well-structured learning tools, they’ve been able to enhance their skills and address any areas for improvement. It’s wonderful to hear that the kids feel grateful for the academy. I look forward to witnessing their continued success!

I sent my daughter to the program because her math score in MAP was not very good last year. Within six months, we were able to see her math score improve in the following MAP test. We were happy with the improvement, so we also decided to have her join the English tutoring program. The best part of the experience is that my daughter seems to enjoy going to the tutoring sessions.

Excellerate Learning Studio helped me a lot academically. Their support and private tutor helped boost my grade in school and their course suggestions were also helpful. Personally, I really liked their advice and college list because they organized the lists and advice that were right-fit for me. I often saw many cases in that teachers or tutor organizations aimed at high colleges even though it could be risky, Excellerate Learning Studio chose the “right” college for me. Lastly, their coaching in essay writing was beneficial because they provided one-on-one support that allowed me and my teacher to put in the detailed effort and use our time wisely.

My child worked with Excellerate staff for nine months and improved his GPA.

Excellerate staff helped my child be accepted to his college choice because of the improved grades. We can never thank you enough. Thank you!!!

My child has gained Impressive study skills and a boost in his confidence in school and academics overall.

Excellerate Studio guided me throughout my college admissions journey and I really can't even begin to express how helpful they've been the entire way. I started the college application process very late as a junior and so I was super worried about my future, but thanks to Excellerate, I was able to successfully navigate the whole process, from building a robust college list to adding the finishing touch on my supplemental essays. The mentors and teachers at Excellerate were especially helpful with the technical aspects of my application, such as carefully structuring an activities list or continually improving essays, providing feedback and constructive criticism that were tailored to my specific strengths and weaknesses. They say the college admissions process is a period in your life where you get to learn more about yourself, and I did. But more importantly, with their support and care, Excellerate helped me become not only a better student, but also a better person.

I used More Than Scores and Tests for both my ACT tutoring and my college essay brainstorming and I cannot thank them enough for the help they provided. My first ACT composite score was a 26 and by the end of my tutoring my composite was a 33! Their coaches are extremely patient and explain both problems and test taking strategies in an individualized way for each student. For the college essay brainstorming, they helped me decide the most effective topics to write about and also coached me on the style colleges are looking for. I highly recommend More Than SAT for anyone who wants to improve their test scores, write a great essay, or receive any help with school!

Our family’s journey with the Excellerate program first began with our oldest child when she struggled with writing. She used to dread writing assignments complaining that it was too hard and boring, but with the Excellerate Write On! program, we began to witness her gaining confidence in her writing. Through the program, she learned to think for herself, being taught how to structure her thoughts on paper, and having fun trying out different elements of writing.

As a result of this experienced success with our first child, we decided to enroll her siblings in the Excellerate Core program- Math and Reading. Our second child who had a tendency to rush through things used to make careless mistakes in reading comprehension questions, but with the personalized coaching in the areas of study skills and habits, he has become a thoughtful reader paying attention to details and learning how to appropriately pace his work.

The program emphasizes note-taking skills as one of the ways to succeed, and our kids have definitely benefited from such purposeful training throughout the years. The success in the program has also translated into each kid’s success in school- not only the improvement in grades and test scores but also in their self-confidence with what they can accomplish.

Excellerate does not follow a rote-learning model, an approach many typical tutoring programs would take after. It systematically focuses on the areas that each child needs to work on and provides personalized coaching suitable to the students. It is an excellent program that parents can trust, and we have no doubt that we can continue our partnership in educating our children for their success.
