My experience at WHIZard Academy was very helpful. I was able to work at my own pace and focus on the areas of the ACT I chose to study. The staff is very friendly. My test taking skills overall have improved a lot.

I enjoyed to WHIZard Academy and improving my English skills. My experience at WHIZard Academy was epic. I had a review of Grade 7 English. I help my head up high despite some trials and tribulations. I enjoyed my time as the material became easier for me.

My experience at WHIZard Academy was amazing. The tutors were helpful. They explained the lessons when I did not understand. They were also very outgoing in discussing the lesson. We drifted from the main topic sometimes but it was helpful to keep me focused. The atmosphere is also amazing: comfortable, quiet (for the most part). I think that after three weeks of ACT preparation I am well prepared for the ACT. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend WHIZard Academy to any of my friends.

My experience at WHIZard Academy was helpful to me because I learned about antecedents and writing essays. I enjoy it here because I can choose the topic I need help on. I also like how I get help whenever I need it.

Coming to WHIZard Academy was very fun and the tutors were encouraging. They were able to keep me interested in the stuff I was learning. It was very nice to be able to go at my own pace and it gave me something good to do almost every week.

I enjoy coming to WHIZard Academy because all the tutors are friendly and I have learned a lot! I look forward to coming to WHIZard Academy in the summer!!! I also think that it's great because you see immediate results after coming. When I first started at WHIZard Academy I had an exam a couple of weeks later after I started. I did very well and was very happy.

My experience at WHIZard Academy has been great. I have learned many new writing techniques and have improved my grammar. The stories given out to read were excellent and ironic. The tutors were kind and helpful and answered all my questions. Every question I had was thoroughly explained and I understood my assignments much better. WHIZard Academy has helped me with my writing and grammar. The new knowledge that I have gained will help me down the road.

My experience at WHIZard Academy was great. I liked when Dondi helped me with reading. I liked when Anna helped me with my homework for school. My level changed from 3 to 4. I wish to come back to WHIZard Academy this summer.

My experience at WHIZard Academy was fun, happy and excellent. I learned a lot here. It's nice to prepare for the grade you are going into and for the things you are bad at. The tutors are nice and you can get candy afterward. The best part is going home smarter each day.

WHIZard Academy was very helpful. I came here to get a head start on next year and to understand new material in math. They helped me out with that very nicely. Whenever I had a question about something I didn't get, the tutors helped me work it out. I also like the challenge that WHIZard gave to me. The first weeks back at school will be a breeze.

My experience at WHIZard Academy was more than wonderful. I enrolled in the WHIZard math program because I was having trouble with Calculus. After a full course with my tutor, Marc, I felt I had a better understanding of Calculus. I even felt confident about my performance in the AP Test. The people at WHIZard Academy are very attentive to the needs of their students. The help I received was incredibly beneficial and was, for the most part, fun even. My time at WHIZard Academy was enjoyable.

Overall WHIZard Academy helped prepare me for the ACT better than I would have been able to do myself. They have different people who are specialized in the different areas of study, and they would take turns spending time with me and finding out exactly what I needed to work on to be prepared for the ACT. I went 3 days in a row and each day was planned out and organized.

My experience at WHIZard Academy was great. I feel that I learned a lot about the ACT test. I learned a lot about the subjects that are on the ACT test. When I previously took the ACT, along with my first practice test at WHIZard Academy, my score was not so great. When I recently my last practice test I scored very well. After taking the courses at WHIZard I feel very comfortable taking the next ACT.

As my English ACT prep tutor knows, I tend to write too much, so I'll keep this short. WHIZard Academy has definitely helped me understand the ACT a whole lot better. I now know what to look for in the questions and how exactly to write the essay. If I ever need any other type of tutoring I'll consider WHIZard Academy first.

I had a good experience here. I needed more help with homework material because I was really struggling in school with math. All of the tutors I have worked with have all been really friendly and nice. I worked with Katie most of the time and she was a really big help. I enjoyed also working with Ben, Marc and Van because each one had a different teaching style. I feel more confident and feel I understand more math in general now.

Great! I loved coming. Marc is a very nice and helpful person. He knew when to get to hard work and when to crack some jokes. He's very funny. I enjoyed working with him. He helped me a lot. I now look at a problem without fear and panic but with ideas of how to solve it. Even though I might not be right, I was able to at least try and hope for the best. I didn't panic as much. When I first arrived here I had to eat a big piece of humble pie, but as I went through the program I realized humble pie isn't that bad. I look at it now as a way of growing up and accepting the fact that I needed help, and I got it. Now that I have gotten help I'm not over my head in stress about Math.
Thank you WHIZard Academy.
I hope to see you again when I come back for ACT prep. Thanks again.

I really needed help in my Advanced Placement Calculus course and WHIZard Academy gave it to me. The instructors were very knowledgeable and knew what they were doing. I felt comfortable at WHIZard Academy and all the things I didn't understand were cleared up and explained. I really appreciated the help given to me at WHIZard Academy and it really helped me.

It was a good learning experience for me. It really helped me this summer. I feel that when I go back to school I will be more
prepared than I was before. I believe this year in school will be a lot easier to learn because of the help from WHIZard
Academy.

I liked coming to the WHIZard Academy because at first I was not very good at math. But now since I have been doing it for a long
time I have gotten really good grades in math on like tests and everything else like that. But sometimes I didn't like coming
because I always had a lot of homework and tests to study for the next day. Otherwise I had a very good experience here and learned
a lot more than I had before coming here. Math is making a lot more sense than it had before I started coming here. I am getting it
a whole lot better now. It taught me a lot and I am glad that I got extra help with a tutor in math.

My experience at WHIZard Academy has been great! The tutors are great and I love everyone that works there. They don't make it seem
so tense. I come here as if I were going home to do homework. I really learned a lot and it really helped me to be ahead of the
class and keep up the understanding. The only thing I was confused about was the section book. It was really confusing how they
explained everything. The tutor always kind of had to take me through it again. But then I got it. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! I hope
to see you during SAT and ACT prep or sooner!!!

It was a very helpful experience. I really think WHIZard Academy helped my chances at getting a good score on my ACT to help me be
able to get into the college of my choice. Everyone here was incredibly helpful and very friendly. I'm glad I came to prepare for
my ACT.

WHIZard Academy helped me in my English. They really helped me with my grammar and creative writing the most. I have found out that
I can write more interesting paragraphs with no help. WHIZard started off easy, but now I am getting more challenged. It really
paid off that I came here. I needed a jump start on my weakest subject. WHIZard is incredibly helpful.
