“As a parent, I try to give my children every opportunity and resource available to help them reach their goals. Emilee is a junior this year and had been preparing for and taken the PSAT and Pre ACT test at her school. I gave her the option of using online tutoring on her own time or hiring a private tutor to improve her test scores. We had a previous and positive experience with our son at ALC, so I didn't even look into other options for test prep when it was time for Emilee to begin this journey.
From the first telephone conversation with Sara in your Tyrone office, we were given personalized and friendly service. Emilee was paired with a tutor who also happens to be an alumni of Emilee's high school. She seemed to click with her and made the whole "dreaded" experience for Emilee more bearable. She said that her tutor was able to help her in all of the subject areas, and gave her lots of test taking skills that helped on her first test date. I have witnessed Emilee's improved confidence in herself and especially in her math skills. Both her tutor and Sara were available and helpful in answering questions that I had as well. I am happy to report that Emilee was able to improve her ACT score by 5 points on her first attempt!
The moment I saw her test score, I knew that the tutoring was worth every penny. I like the fact that we can choose the flexibility and pay as we go with no minimum commitment. ALC is definitely a good value for the money and time spent. I have recommended ALC to several friends and acquaintances since we first had our son there in 2006.
We are thankful to have found ALC!”

“We have been very pleased with ALC, and especially with our tutor Krystal. Angelica went into 11th grade with a full course load and her first week in AP Calculus had her wanting to drop the class. We were given a few options regarding tutoring and chose ALC. Krystal and Angelica clicked from the start. With Krystal's tutoring, Angelica has succeeded so far in getting an A in the course. I feel we have received a great value for the time and money spent with ALC, and I don't hesitate to recommend your services to others!”

“Our family is very pleased with the services ALC provided; especially her assigned tutor. With the assistance of ALC, Ryan increased her ACT score by 4 points! Ryan has received a golf and academic scholarship to Stetson University in Deland, FL and our family believes this would not have been possible without the wonderful attention she received from ALC. Thank you for offering such excellent service!!!”

“We are very happy with the tutor that Ethan works with. His homework is completed much more quickly than before and his grades have improved dramatically. His confidence is growing and we are very pleased. On Wednesday, one of his classmates called him to ask him for a math tip and he was beaming with pride.”
– Lisa Samajovits
“Just wanted to drop you a note to express our appreciation for the testing that was done on our son Bennett. Learning of the results has been an eye opener for our son as well as our family. When we first started with ALC as part of the Youth Development Foundation, I wish he would had taken it a bit more seriously. The tutors that are employed by ALC are very skilled and passionate about helping their clients. Sarah has also been a big help to our family and we enjoyed working with her.”

“Sophie had a wonderful experience at ALC. She had a lovely relationship with her tutor. She managed to raise her SAT and ACT scores and has now offers from USF, FSU, and FIU. I have already referred ALC to 2 of my friends who have younger children about to sit their first SAT exams. My husband and I were truly satisfied with the results of the tutoring.”
– Natalie Kubicki
“Luke had a great experience at ALC. Fortunately we have been on target for the past 2 years and have not required the assistance of ALC. I attribute Luke's ability to stay on target in 3rd and 4th grade to the great tutoring we received from Ms. Buggle at ALC. If we ever need assistance again I will not hesitate to call!”

“We have had double success with ALC! After tutoring with ALC, out first daughter was able to increase her SAT score by 100 points, allowing her to receive 100% Bright Futures. Our second daughter also went through the tutoring program with ALC and increased her score by 4 points! Not only did they improve on the SAT & ACT, but more importantly, they learned USEFUL test taking techniques which have benefited them in their post high school education. We would highly recommend ALC for SAT, ACT and all around test taking preparation.”

"I would like to express how ALC has helped my son Zeke with math. Being a parent who couldn’t help [her] child, I talked to a friend about Zeke’s situation and they told me about ALC. I called, and we met with a wonderful tutor. I am pleased and ever so grateful to ALC for all they have done to help Zeke. Advanced Learning Centers is #1 in my book!

"My child, coming from the Bahamas, had no knowledge of how the SAT/ACT system worked. ALC and its great and personal staff helped my son get accepted into his dream university, Embry-Riddle. The staff treats students like they are one of their own. A BIG thanks to all!"
– William Saunders
"My son, Carter Schwartz found ALC very helpful in preparing for his SAT’s. Carter learned several tips for enhancing his score from your professional and caring staff. We would definitely recommend your center for any serious college bound student."

"Sixth grade advanced math proved to be more than a challenge for my son. Not only did his grades greatly improve with the help of Advanced Learning Centers, my son formed a relationship with his tutor that will forever give him confidence in himself, and his learning ability. Many thanks."

"ALC's tutor worked with Jay to prepare for both the ACT and SAT tests. Working with the tutor gave Jay the confidence and test taking skills he needed to increase his scores. I am very pleased with the tutoring Jay received and would recommend ALC highly. Our tutor also took the time to answer all my questions and guide me through the process."
– Beth Rosenbluth
"My daughter had a very good experience at ALC. She has always been a good student but performed inconsistently on standardized tests. Almost immediately, the tutor at ALC realized her test anxiety and worked with her in a very patient and supportive fashion. She felt more confident taking the test and her scores improved. ALC was a very good experience for us, and one I’d highly recommend."
– H.F.A.
"ALC was awesome. ALC teaches confidence and prepares students to excel. Thanks to ALC our son’s test scores improved dramatically. He has now earned Bright Scholars status earning him acceptance into, and valuable tuition dollars for, his Florida college choice. We highly recommend ALC. Great job!"
– David Bernstein
"My son’s SAT scores were low in comprehension and his Language Arts scores were consistently low. We received tutoring with you for his reading and comprehension over the summer. Look at his midterms now!! His grade jumped from a low of 52 last year to an all time high of 87 this year! Please share with his tutor. We are so pleased. Thank you so much!!"
– Tracy Woolrich
"We tried other tutors and a prep course, but we’re so glad we found ALC. After working intensively with an ALC tutor, our daughter was able to increase her SAT score by more than 200 points. This put her in the range for acceptance to the top colleges on her list."
