Testimonials
"My son was having difficulty with reading. I had tried everything that I knew to try. However, I was not making any progress. I thought about tutoring but it was going to be a last-resort because of my financial situation. After watching my son's self-esteem continue to fall, as well as his grades, I knew it was time to get tutoring by professionals. It was huge sacrifice on my behalf as it would take my time away from other responsibilities and money that was being used for other things. However, my son and his future success was, and is, more important than anything. My son began tutoring with Make The Grade on February 2, 2010 and improvement was recognized within the first four (4) weeks. Not only did my son receive excellent guidance and direction through the program at Make The Grade, but his self-esteem was greatly improved. I am proud to say that my son went from disappointing grades to Honor Roll, where he is maintained. I would like to send sincere thanks to Make The Grade and say that if I had it all to do over again, I would not have hesitated to take him to tutoring. Without the help of Make The Grade I know that my son would not have a bright and successful academic future!" - Sabrina B., Anderson, SC
"My daughter has been attending Make the Grade for 6 months. People often ask me why I travel so far for tutoring. The Lindamood-Bell Method and the Orton-Gillingham Approach programs were recommended by a speech language pathologist. We travel from Greenwood to Anderson for each session and it is well worth the trip. She receives individualized one-on-one sessions. I have seen consistent improvement in her grades and self-confidence. I am also impressed with the evaluation process at Make the Grade to monitor her progress. I carefully considered where to take my daughter for tutoring because I wanted to make sure she received the correct interventions. I am so grateful I made the right decision." - Janet M., Greenwood, SC
"Make the Grade Tutoring has been an answer to our prayers. For so long my son struggled with reading and his pediatrician suspected dyslexia. I was at a loss as of what to do. Make the Grade was recommended by his doctor and since he has been going, not only is his self-confidence soaring, he has made the A/B Honor Roll at school!! We are so thankful!!" - Suzanne M., Iva, SC
"More than just a tutoring center. My son has been tutored at Make the Grade in reading for about two months now, and I have definitely noticed him reading more lately. He is eleven years old and recently confided to me that he had never read a complete book. He is now about to finish his second book in a series and is begging me to buy the rest. Thanks for planting that seed." - Renee T., Anderson, SC
"Our son is a sophomore at TL Hanna High School and math is one of his favorite subjects but it is something that he has a hard time with. He tends to struggle early in the year and gets way behind the learning curve and spends the rest of the time playing catch up. We found Chris and her Tutoring service 2 years ago in the middle of the school year and she was been great with both making the concepts easy to understand as well as making it fun to learn the lessons. We successfully "dug out of the hole" and he finished with a solid B in Algebra, coming from what was a low "D". This year we started at the beginning of the school year and he has been very consistent in his work and understanding of the concepts. We are in Geometry this year. He has shown solid steady improvement all year and with a little effort and a small push at the end, could end the year with an "A" in the class. Chris sets expectations and develops a rapport with her students. As far as I can tell, she is very good at what she does, and we as parents are very pleased with the results. We would unquestionably recommend her for your child and any math level being offered." - Rick S., Anderson, SC
"Make The Grade has been a life saver for us. They matched my daughter with a tutor suited for her needs and helped bring her grade up from a failing grade to a B. Thank You!!" - Lisa M., Anderson, SC
"I want to thank you for the help you have given Madison in math. In only eight sessions, she's gone from totally struggling in math to understanding the concepts and principles and is now getting 90's and above. She is very comfortable in your learning environment. I can see that this success has improved her self confidence all around. It's fun to see her looking forward to taking her tests now." - JoAnn W., Anderson, SC
"I would just like to say that Jon's confidence and skill level has increased and his grade went from 81 to 91 in just one nine week period. We are very happy with Make The Grade Tutoring Center. It is convenient to finally have a tutoring center in Anderson. Keep up the good work." - Tammy L., Anderson, SC
"My daughter has always benefited from a private tutor and Make the Grade has been a wonderful place for her to get what she needs in the best setting possible. The combination of positive reinforcement and working with her teachers has made the 4th grade a better experience than it would have been without them." - Nedra B., Anderson, SC
