Mindspire did a great job matching a tutor to my student who had some learning challenges. His tutor, Chrissy N, did a great job putting him at ease, building his confidence, and tailoring her instruction to his needs. She worked with him over a relatively short period of time, and his ACT composite score came up 6 points between the mock test he took at the beginning of tutoring and his actual test.
We signed our son, Mark, up with Mindspire in October and the experience has been outstanding from the very start. Annette Ruzicka, the Director of Student Success, guided us through the entire process with exceptional communication- I could text her any question, and she always responded quickly and clearly. Mark is currently working with his tutor, Lindsey Wright, and the results have been impressive. After completing sample tests, Lindsey immediately identified the areas Mark needed to strengthen. With her positive and effective teaching style, Mark has already increased his practice score by 160 points and feels confident than ever, especially in his math skills. He is truly looking forward to his official SAT in March 2026. The founder, Mr.Shahar Link, has built a team of highly qualified tutors, and it shows in the quality of the program. After researching several options, Mindspire’s strong reviews led me here - and I’m grateful they did. Overall, a fantastic experience. Highly recommend Mindspire to any family looking for professional, personalized, and results - driven SAT/ACT preparation.
One of the best in the area. They have a awesome process where they understand the student's specific needs, and match against the right tutor. Owen was a great tutor that provided specific tutoring sessions targeting the areas in Math and English that my daughter needed some guidance on. This helped her acheive a great SAT score. Thank you Owen and the Mindspire team!
Mindspire tutors were great for my older daughter when she took the SAT test prep three years ago. She improved her score by more 150 points. We got a college prep tutoring, which was top-notch as well. Starting my second child in the Mindspire program fully confident she will ace the ACT. Shahar and his tutors' expertise on how to prepare your child for ACT/SAT tests is truly unparalleled. Another plus is the incredible resource library on standardized tests that Mindspire has created over the years.
My daughter did individual tutoring with Mindspire. They were an excellent resource - they helped her determine whether she should focus on the ACT or SAT. Once focused on the ACT, her tutor met with her 1-2x/week for about 3 weeks leading up to the ACT. When she didn't receive the same score on the actual test as in practice, she did another month of session, took the test again and achieved her dream score. Her tutor was able to focus her on the best ways to improve her score. Scheduling was simple. The online feedback was great. I'd highly recommend Mindspire to anyone looking for test prep.
