"I cannot thank Paula enough for all of her help with ACT test prep! I truly did have a lot of fun with her. Her strategies were very helpful throughout the whole process. I'm going to miss telling her my stories, eating her homemade chocolate chip cookies, and updating her on my life. Thanks again!"

"I thought the SAT was going to be impossible, but Paula was able to teach me in a way that I could understand, and I actually got a better score than some of my other friends who I think are way smarter. I am excited to go to Ohio State, and I have Paula to thank for helping me with test prep and college prep!"
