Testimonial
"After taking classes with Mr. Kirby and the team for a little over two months, I've found that his lessons were very effective in that most of the studying was done outside of the lessons. Unlike my experiences in prep schools, I studied using the materials provided by Mr. Kirby and only went over the important concepts or questions I had about that material during the one-hour lessons. This made the classes time-efficient while still being effective and important. I also found Mr. Kirby to be a very supportive and easy-going teacher who was easy to approach. He did his best to make sure I thoroughly understood concepts I was confused about and was well-versed in the subjects he taught. I enjoyed learning from him and would recommend his class to other students since it would be a great educational experience".

"Mr. Kirby and the team was extremely helpful in my ACT preparation. I met with Mr. Kirby about twice a week over Skype. His practice work and tips were very straightforward and easy to understand. Mr. Kirby’s work with practice tests made it very easy to pinpoint my weaknesses and determine what I needed to continue to work on. I noticed a considerable improvement in my reading comprehension, grammar, and writing skills. I was able to finish preparing for the ACT in a much shorter time period and found that I felt much more ready compared to other test prep sources including online classes and other academies that I took for months. Mr. Kirby’s classes made test prep fun and helped me complete my ACT with ease. I found his teaching methods to be very productive and helpful".

"I highly recommend Mr. Kirby to any student who is looking to improve their English, reading, and writing skills. Every class, we go over each incorrect question, and he provides me with effective strategies so I don’t get those types of problems wrong again. Even if I don’t understand what I did wrong, he explains to me and takes me step by step to the right answer. Although the amount of homework may seem overwhelming, it helps you find common patterns in the questions of a test like the ACT and prepares you well for the next set of problems he gives you. Compared to other test prep classes I took, this class is a lot more engaging and comfortable. Instead of sitting in a musty old classroom devoid of any personality with twenty other people you have to share attention with, you can study in the comfort of your own home with the personalized attention you need in order to succeed".

"Mr. Kirby is one of the finest, down-to-earth and most devoted teachers that I’ve ever worked with. I’ve never had a teacher who is as personable as Mr. Kirby and has my best interests at heart. I always enjoy his classes, as I always leave it feeling like I’ve just talked with a friend or someone who is more than just a teacher. Although, unlike most friends, I actually learn from him! I never feel bored during his classes as his enthusiasm and vigor for teaching is contagious, and it’s evident that he is truly invested in my growth as a student. What truly distinguishes Mr. Kirby from any other teacher I’ve worked with is that he makes the extra effort to help me and make sure I’m getting the most out of him being my teacher. I’ve had Mr. Kirby as my ACT, SAT, SAT II Literature, and college essay tutor, and I go back to him each time because I’m more than satisfied with the results that I get with him". -35 ACT Score, Reading and Writing
