My co-worker had children already in college and knew the importance of test scores in relation to college admission and scholarships. He referred us to Knowledge Guides and we met James who explained everything in great detail. James even allowed our son to make up classes he missed due to prior engagements. After our son took his summer ACT premiere class, he scored 30 on his first ACT test. We then enrolled our son in individual lessons to prepare him for his second test and he super-scored a 32 on his ACT's. Our son was accepted into the College of Engineering at Texas A&M and also received a Full Four-Year National NROTC Scholarship. When asked, our son was insistent that James' tutorials work. We are definitely enrolling our daughter, who is an in-coming high school junior, in this summer's ACT Premier classes. We strongly recommend the programs at Knowledge Guides and credit James for his patience and professionalism in helping our son achieve his goals. Allen C. - Arlington
