I just wanted to get back to you to let you know how W. did on the June SAT. 

His scores were: Critical Reading: 740, Math: 720, Writing: 760 | Composite 2220 | 1560 on SAT

W. told me he felt your preparation was good, to the point, and useful for the test. He was happy (tho never completely satisfied--you know how W is!) with his scores.

I believe the scores are a little better than his ACT, so the SAT was worth doing. Thanks again for all your help, and
we'll be happy to provide a positive reference if you have any
future clients looking for SAT prep help. We'll let you know when W finally makes his college decision.
W. told me your prep was better for his preferred style of learning/studying than your competitor's review course,
so I'm so glad we found you! We hope your summer is going well--before you know it, the fall review sessions will be revving up!

We are honored and proud to serve Naperville, surrounding area and U.S students with ACT PREP and SAT PREP.

Naperville Tutoring is delighted to see many ACT Composite score gains: Our lowest average gain we see on the ACT Test is 3 points up. The ACT Test is commonly repeated during the Junior and early Senior year. When you see a 5-9 point gain, it is usually a result of a student taking the ACT Test three, sometimes as many as five times.

The test scores reflected are those Naperville Tutoring has been made aware of by our students, moms or dads sharing their proud results.
We hope this information will be helpful, providing encouragement to consider Naperville Tutoring for your son's or daughter's SAT or ACT PREP. We welcome working with your son or daughter!

Naperville Tutoring is excited & rewarded when they hear students reach their test goal ... delighted when they hear news from the families whose son or daughter receives an invitation & admittance to his or her Dream University, along with a scholarship. We are honored to have had a small part in helping. Now that is exciting & rewarding!

I would like to thank Ms. Joan and Mr. Paul for their hard work to prepare me for two ACT tests. I found their program extremely helpful and felt myself becoming more confident in my skills as a test taker as the weeks went on. Although I had considered myself a strong test taker in many subjects, math was never one of them. Through Mr. Paul’s instruction, I learned advanced topics and am confident in my ability to recognize most, if not all, content on the ACT. The most helpful instrument was the Barron’s 6 ACT Practice Tests. Because they were more challenging than the actual ACT, and because they allowed me to practice hard, the normal ACT practice tests felt easy. They presented a challenge, and I’m glad I was able to rise to the occasion. I found Ms. Joan and Mr. Paul to be amazing instructors, and even through Zoom, their warmth and passion for teaching shone through. I would 100% recommend this program to others and am glad I was given the opportunity to take advantage of it. Sincerely,

G.T.| Student | Benet Academy

I just got my ACT score back and am so excited to tell you I got a35!! Thank you so much for all of your help! I couldn’t have done it without you! SUMMIT ACT PREPSUMMIT ACT PREP

Going into ACT Prep with Mr. & Mrs. Kaliher, I was frustrated & did not think I would ever bring my scores up to where they needed to be. Quite honestly, I was not comfortable with the format of the test, would consistently run out of time, & had no idea what some of the questions on science were even asking?? After getting through most of the SUMMIT TEST PREP SYLLABUS at the beginning, I started to feel more comfortable. I began to learn from my mistakes through Mr. & Mrs. Kaliher's stellar explanations. I used the Barron's Book and the ACT Prep Guide. I noticed a substantial difference in the level of difficulty between the two, with Barron's challenging me the most. However, I now appreciate this challenge. I think it was very beneficial to mess up & run out of time on the harder tests because they prepared me for the hardest of questions. I cannot thank Mr. & Mrs. Kaliher enough for their flexibility, patience, and overall help in preparing me for the ACT. This year has been filled with such uncertainty. However, they were always willing to accomodate my crazy busy schedule and reschedule most of my prep sessions after my tests were cancelled. They have pushed me to try my hardest, and I am confident I will do my best when I finally get to take an official ACT. Although we were virtual for most of my prep sessions, I have always felt welcomed into the positive environment they have created. I went into this entire process being intimidated, scared, and not confident with myself. I have come out prepared, confident, and ready to attack the ACT. Thank you so very much for all of your support and help. I truly appreciate everything! I promise to keep in contact and inform you of my scores and college plans.

I have some even better news! We received the scores from her last ACT test and she did even a better. She now has a 35!!!  What was even more exciting; Paul will love this .. she received a 36 in Science! Whoohoo! We reviewed her test and she did not get one wrong in the Science section- a perfect score! We are beyond elated with these scores and it certainly was a game changer! We can’t thank you enough for helping her achieve her goals! We will keep you posted as we hear about acceptances! 

Good morning Joan & Paul, We are Absolutely thrilled with her score!!!! A 35 was her goal all along! Those extra few tutoring sessions just boosted her.

**Ask about our Booster Program


We can’t THANK YOU enough for making her dream come true! We appreciate everything you did during this crazy time. So grateful she got the score she wanted. She couldn’t have done it without your help! If you can resend anything that you would like me to do to help you grow your business, I’d be more than happy to help! I’m not sure if she mentioned to you, but we took a very last minute trip out to see Dartmouth in New Hampshire on Monday. She loved it and decided that will be her early Decision choice. Thank you again for everything you did!! I will make sure I sing your praises to all the other sophomore & junior parents! Warm regards.

• I enjoyed the pre work over the summer to introduce me to the topics (SUMMIT TEST SYLLABUS)
• The Barron's books were a very good challenge


• The ACT Guide is also very insightful, can help you a lot with improving scores, & what to look out for
• Zoom is great
• How knowledgeable you guys are with things to look out for & you can somewhat predict
how many problems of a certain question will be on the test
• You guys know easier ways to find answers
• Both of you seem super insightful of the ACT & know a lot about it
• You both put a lot of confidence in me & made me believe I can achieve a high score

Thank you so much for you time; it meant the world to me.

Well this email just made my day and even week! Brought a tear to my eye reading this email.

He is a great son. We are truly blessed. We try our best & he definitely uses what he has learned. Makes whatever he does even better.

I thank you so much for helping him. His grades show how hard he is working with your guidance.
He loves you all too. He is always saying how he enjoys talking with you about school & things outside of school.

I thank my husband for finding you both, it was so meant to be.

We will definitely be hoping to work with you in the fall as well.

Have a wonderful weekend and stay healthy & safe as well.

SUMMIT ACT PREP ™ | One-on-One | ACT Test Results | 6 Points Up | 27 to 33

In my honest opinion, I would consider the SUMMIT ACT PREP as the most helpful thing I’ve used in my education career. The environment really helps to cater towards my specific needs while taking the ACT test. I think individually my tutors had a lot of knowledge of what they were doing, especially in the ways they could explain the problems I was having and how I can fix them. There are certain things on the ACT test that you could not do without the help of tutors like them. They help you realize patterns and different ways to take the test that are incomparable to anything else. Sincerely

Z. W. | Student | Naperville Central High School

Thank you for the incredible tutoring. Z was pleased with his score as he thought the test was actually harder than many of the practice tests. He has promised to continue practicing as he is signed up for the July test as well. I have copied a pic of his scores. He improved in every area. A 10 pt jump in English!

"M is doing well! He will be a senior accounting major at Ohio state. He'll graduate in May next year and will be finishing his extra hours for the CPA exam by December 2018 (need 150 hours to sit for exam).

We are doing well too. Two daughters, now married, and three grandchildren. Hard to believe it. They are all grown up! No downtime yet. Not til tuition is all paid. Thx to your help tho M has enjoyed a good scholarship from Ohio state."

Sorry for not getting back sooner but I wanted to let you guys know that I ended up getting a 29 on the test I took after the prep. At this point I’m unsure if I want to take another one because I want my college stuff to get wrapped up. I thank you and Mr. Kaliher for getting me to this point where I’m more confident than unsure about schools. Although the window is short I may change my mind and take another and if that does happen I’ll get in contact and see if we can squeeze anything in and if not you’ve already prepared me to succeed.

Hi Joan & Paul,

R. has completed his ACT test taking and I'm writing to update you on his results.

R. took the October test after completing the tutoring with you. The October results were good,
but after reviewing the results he felt he could improve. He decided to take the December test.

I attached a spreadsheet so you can see the progression of test results. We felt he could improve the composite
score by focusing on the science section. That's what R. did and that work paid off. We are thrilled with his
December results. Thanks to you both for tutoring R. All the best in the new year and thanks again,

Joan and Paul,

I wanted to circle back with you to let you know all that’s happened since you were last with M.
She has been accepted to U of Alabama, Clemson, U of Pittsburgh, Penn State University Park,
Purdue and the University of Michigan’s Nursing programs and has gotten scholarship offers across the board.

She’s decided on the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and is very excited to start the next phase of her life.

Thank you again for all of your help. I know without the work that she was able to do with you both to improve her test score, she would not have as many options to choose from. Best Regards,

The guidance and support you provided has been essential to his success. Thank you.

I thought you would enjoy knowing that J has been accepted to both Air Force Academy and to Yale. He also applied to Annapolis, and has not yet heard back, so no rejections! I believe he is going to attend Yale on an ROTC scholarship. Thank you for being an essential part of making that happen for him.

Thank you guys again for your help. It made a tremendous difference (which my 2 point jump shows:). 

English-35 (two more than personal best)
Math-30 (same as personal best)
Reading-29 (two more than personal best)
Science- 33 (one less than personal best)
Composite- 32 ( two more than previous best)

I'm confident that with more work and the full time you guys suggested I would have been able to make that 32 a 33 or even 34, but I still think what you guys helped me do in such a short amount of time was incredible. Unfortunately, or fortunately I guess, I am finally done with the ACT! Woohoo! 

Again, thank you both so much. I will send you a picture of myself as soon as I find one to send so I can begin my road to fame on your website instead of the road to a 36. ha ha. Thank you,

Very nice to get your email this morning. I will let N answer your question himself (we are waiting on final, final confirmation next week, but it turned out to kind of be a dream scenario for him/us – and it would’t have been possible without the 32). 

I wanted to send Merry Christmas wishes back to you and Paul as well. Thank you for your kind words toward N – every parent likes to hear someone else say nice things about their kids.

So, speaking of kids, that’s also why I wanted to reach out. I had mentioned that our youngest son C is a Sophomore this year - heading toward a Junior year and ACT prep next Fall. When would we need to start talking to you about putting him on your list for next Fall and what would you suggest for how you would work with him? You will enjoy C – he is BY FAR our most social kid.

Thank you for all your help with tutoring M. She took her 5th and final ACT on April 8. She got a 25! That is the score she needed for the $10K scholarship at Cedarville University. It is renewable every year as long as she keeps her grade point average up.

At the very beginning of her ACT journey, she took her first practice exam at home and scored 19 (fall of 2015). Then she took a group ACT review course. After the review coarse she took her first ACT exam, getting a 21. We reviewed together and she got a 22, I believe. I believe with your help she improved 3 points.

Working with you both was super helpful. She said she learned several helpful strategies. Paul taught her math concepts that she didn't’t understand. And the science section—I believe she got a 27 on this last exam which was a huge improvement from 19-20’s in the past. It was an investment to pay for the one-on-one tutoring, but it paid off with the scholarship. Thank you!

K's experience on her one to one tutoring has been completely positive and very rewarding! The two hours she spent with you (Ms. Joan and Mr. Paul) once a week for 9 weeks increase her test score 4 points! The accountability and the outline you gave her to stay on track was critical to her success. Thank you sharing your problem solving techniques when you worked through The Barron’s workbooks and The Real ACT Guide workbook. These techniques not only help her with her ACT testing, but she applied these same techniques to her AP/Honors high school tests in physics, calculus and history.

I got a 35 in English, and 33 in the other 3 subjects. 34 Composite. Again, thank you so much for taking me as a student and helping me to achieve my goal! 

For me, it was a lot better to go through each question and explain the right answer instead of just saying "A is wrong, B is right". It helped me more to learn about how to answer questions effectively. Because I can answer questions more quickly, I have more time to go over what I might have missed.

My eperience here has been completely positive!  I struggled particularly with Math, and the individualized sessions allowed me to work on Math as much as I needed to.  This really helped me improve my scores.  The Barron’s workbooks were also extremely helpful, as they provided a diverse set of practice questions and good reminders about each section of the ACT test.  All the Act Practice tests I was able to take helped me to solidify what I learned during tutoring and from the Barron’s books by putting it to use soon after learning.  All in all, I was able to accomplish tons by working with Ms. Joan and Mr. Paul—and they’re super kind and welcoming, which makes every session great!

Hello! Hope all is well. I greatly apologize for not sending you anything sooner! Just wanted to let you know I can not thank you two enough for all of the prep & time you devoted to me prepping for the ACT. I truly appreciate it and went into the test feeling very prepared. Overall I think the test went well for the first time actually taking it. The only thing I was worried about was that I found one the passages for reading to be difficult than most. The rest of the passages seemed good though. Other than that I felt I did well in English, math, and science! I learned many valuable tests taking techniques and concepts from you two that will help me in many other aspects of future test taking for any subject. Thank you again so much, I enjoyed learning from you both. Your knowledge, professionalism, and dedication was evident in every session. I looked forward to each Monday night and you made something boring and stressful, fun and enjoyable. I am sure I will be seeing you in the future. Hope you have a wonderful holiday season! Hope the dog search is going well, too:)

We cannot thank you enough for everything you have done to help prepare E for Saturday! We cannot be more happy with the results. She absolutely loved her sessions and had nothing but wonderful things to say about the both of you. The kindness and hospitality you showed us, was above and beyond! I know your success depends on results, however, I feel the personal connection you have with your students is unparalleled! Without that connection, lesson are lost. E immediately felt welcome and at ease with you. To say we were beyond impressed would be an understatement.

I would whole heartedly recommend Naperville Tutoring for ACT Tutoring.  I found them to be very knowledgeable about all the subjects while honing in on my weaker areas.  I enjoyed tutoring in their home and found it to be clean, professional, and quiet.  By working with Paul and Joan, my ACT score improved 4.50 points.  With hard work and dedication in athletics, academic studies, and ACT tutoring, I received an academic and athletic scholarship. The money to invest in learning how to take the ACT Test is worth it!

T. C. | Mom | Metea Valley High School

I attended Naperville Tutoring’s One-on-One private ACT PREP sessions simply hoping to improve my score.  I was not sure where to begin, but with their help, I learned how to see & respond to problems differently.  Throughout the sessions, we targeted my weaknesses & further improved my strengths.  The sessions themselves revolve around active participation by working out missed or confusing problems or simply asking questions, which allow me to really understand & apply it later.  By the end of the sessions, I not only increased my score, but also gained an immeasurable amount of confidence.  I was able to walk into the test, truly believing I could succeed.  Super scored a 33 , so that's really good because a lot of my colleges take the highest from all tests.


After months of heavy deliberation, I've decided to attend the University of Chicago and I'm really excited. It was great working with you guys and I wish you continued success in your business.

Naperville Tutoring has brought my ACT score so much higher than I had anticipated coming from 2 previous ACT prep classes. I feel so much more prepared after 2 weeks with Naperville Tutoring than from former months of ACT PREP practice. The 2 teachers on 1 student structure truly pushed me to work harder than ever and the work is paying off. By exposing me to so many different kinds of problems and giving me new tips and tricks, I know I am ready for test day. (June 8, 2013)

As A. gets ready to sign her National Letter of Intent (NLI) tomorrow to play Division I college hockey on a full ride, she owes thanks to all of the great coaches that have helped her achieve her goals. You guys are among those great coaches.

When we came to you, A. was heavily recruited and had offers from a number of NCAA DI schools including some Ivies. You guys sat down with us and developed a unique game plan that fit her demanding travel schedule. You designed practices for her & coached her to master her skills & technique. After watching her take early practice ACT tests on the road, I could not have imagined the calm confidence that she displayed before & after the official test. By “game” day, you had converted a nervous wreck into a confident test taker.

With your help, the hard work paid off. A. achieved personal bests in all subject areas and raised her composite score by 4 points overall. By doing so, she had achieved the ACT score necessary to attend any of the schools that were recruiting her - even those in the Ivy League.

Again, thank you for being great coaches!

(A note from Naperville Tutoring: We know this father & daughter were generous in going forward with our ACT PREP.

How generous A.C. and Mr. M.C.)

I don't know if M replied or not. She got a composite score of 31 on the April test. She was very excited, as were her mother and I. She plans to take the test again on June 8th. Without any pressure on her having the 31 in hand, she hopes she can improve just one more point. Her decision to go for it, not ours. My wife and I thank you for helping her. While it seems expensive when writing the check, the merit award scholarship money a score of 31 provides along with her GPA and other activities, puts her well on her way to getting a great education, and without a mountain of debt when she is done.

I have tried many other ACT PREP tutors before. In the end, they never helped raise my score in areas that needed to be raised. My English was weak and the Barron's workbook has helped improve my score. I personally was not a big fan of the Barron's books, mostly because I didn't look at my Barron's homework and had to cram. I can now say that the Barron's workbooks improved my score. I like the Real ACT Practice Tests because this book had good and fair tests, even if some of the tests differed in difficulty. I had a good experience and wish that I had heard of Naperville Tutoring service sooner.

Thank you for the tutoring sessions. I appreciate all the help. I'm glad I heard of this program from our neighbor, as it was strongly recommended. I'm satisfied with how the tutoring worked out as I was able to successfully raise my score. Although it wasn't my goal, I knew if I continued practicing, I could get better. I enjoyed these sessions because, frankly, I don't have the motivation to study on my own. Also the One-on-One or rather, your 2 on 1 tutors for one student style gave me a lot of flexibility in narrowing down my focus of study. Even though I already had my Real ACT PREP Guide, from the makers of the ACT, I was glad to receive the Barron's workbooks. Before any section with questions or problems, the Barron's workbooks would introduce information and different methods and strategies pertaining to these questions. This helped me, especially with Math, by demonstrating how to work through a problem. Also, the Barron's workbooks were more rigorous in all subjects, preparing me well for the ACT. Thank you for helping me explore my potential.

I wanted to thank you for your excellent tutoring of our son in preparation MVHSNapervilleTutoringACTPREPfor the ACT. I believe you helped him quite a bit. He had a positive attitude every time he came out of a session, and each week his confidence and comfort seemed to grow, particularly in the English and Reading sections, where he needed the most help. He feels that he did well on the test he took on April 14, as well as, the state-administered test the juniors took today at school. While we do not yet know his scores for either test, I feel it is not premature to thank you anyway for your solid, caring tutelage. I am very happy that we did not stay with the initial service we chose and decided instead to go with you. You can be certain I will recommend you to my friends and associates; in fact, I already have recommended you to a neighbor whose son is a freshman at NCHS.





I will inform you of my son's scores. Thank you again so much.

I wanted to let you know that S received a 27 on the ACT that he took on April 24. We are pleased with that, especially as his sub-score in English was a 27, a subject that was not at all his strong suit in the beginning. (He got a 10 out of a possible 12 in his writing score, which is the 99th percentile across the nation.

I sincerely believe you helped him quite a bit, and M and I and S thank you very much. I will indeed recommend you to my friends who are looking for good test tutors in the future!

My score has greatly improved since starting this class by 4 points. Based on the practice tests, I am sure I will do great on the actual ACT test. I would recommend this class to friends.

Small Group ACT PREP Class | 4 Practice Tests


I liked how we went over all our practice tests and always had the ability to ask questions. Being in a smaller setting allowed us to make sure that everyone understood before we moved on. I liked the Barron's activities and believe this book helped me to recognize test strategies sooner. This class gave me confidence for taking the ACT Test.

I enjoyed taking multiple tests during the class to see where I needed to improve more. I thought the Barron's materials were helpful and that it broadened my understanding of how to take the ACT test.

I like how we took many practice ACT tests and took the time to go over each wrong answer. I liked how it built confidence to take my ACT test. I liked Barron's and their test strategies. I would recommend this PREP class to students.

I liked how we went through all subject area sections, not just my weaker areas, so that my score could go up in all of the subject sections. The supplementary Barron's book was extremely helpful. I would recommend this class to other students and parents.

Naperville Tutoring delivers results. After only 3 months of implementing the program, Naperville Tutoring has moved my son from a C- to an A. They have time tested techniques and a style that welcomes the child to want to learn. My son had been struggling to maintain a C for the last 2 years. With both parents working, dedicated time to our son’s math studies had become challenging. Naperville Tutoring sat down with us, put together a plan, worked with our crazy schedules, and delivered on their promises. Thank you Naperville Tutoring for your professionalism. You truly made a difference in my son’s life.

Naperville Tutoring really turned my Chemistry grade around! Not only did they find a way to teach me that made sense to me individually, but they understood my problems with Chemistry. It was awesome to find tutors that did that! I would definitely recommend them if you want to improve your grades and gain an understanding of the subject. Thank you so much! i couldn't have done it without you guys!)

I just want to let you know how wonderful you have been with A. She felt very comfortable with your tutoring style and supported by your encouragement and belief in her.  Your ability to sift through the Freshman schoolwork and prioritize to develop a study plan for A was effective and efficient. A.. definitely improved her grades with your added support and assistance.  We are very pleased!

It was evident from the beginning that Joan put in extra time and effort in developing strategies to help my daughter better understand math. She really cares about my daughter and wants to inspire and nurture her to meet her goals and succeed. I would highly recommend her tutoring services.
