TopTutors helped prepare my daughter for her Accuplacer exam for Saint Louis Community College. She scored amazingly well and she will not need any prerequisite classes for her degree program! I highly recommend TopTutors for college prep testing for your future scholar!

The best part of my experience was my tutor, she was amazing. She went in my own pace but also gave me all the materials and tips I could use to better my score. At the beginning I was super nervous because I didn’t know what to expect but as soon as I met her I was surprisingly very comfortable and looked forward to meeting with her. This program really accommodates to your schedule, so if you’re busy you still have time to meet with them whenever you can and sessions are not tiring or extremely long. I also really enjoyed the practice every saturday they definitely helped with nervousness before taking that real one and overall I thank Ms. Angelica for being so understanding but also making sure everyone is on the right track and prepared for the ACT.
