“Curtis helped my daughter achieve both the SAT and ACT scores she needed to be competitive. She was accepted to her first choice college in a very competitive year. Not only did he help her achieve the results she wanted, but he went above and beyond to accommodate her busy schedule. Thank you Curtis!”
