"11 Point Score Increase!"

"Referred by trusted friends, we reached out to Andy Lockwood for advice for our son. Andy was wonderful and engaging but more than that his years of experience was clearly evident. He didn’t sugar coat anything. He was a straight-shooter and it was refreshing after the phone calls with other college advisors.

Andy suggested a face-to-face meeting to meet our son, who, in the 5th grade, was diagnosed with a learning disability. Although an excellent student, determined and bright, learning for him comes with challenges.

Andy suggested that we set up a time to talk with Marissa. It was critical to us that that we connect our son to a professional who understood the way in which he learns best so that the ACT test wasn’t viewed by him as something he could achieve.

At that meeting, Marissa briefly explained her approach but more importantly asked questions and listened. Marissa, wanted to know and understand everything about our son - - his work ethic, his grades, his extracurricular activities, the disability, when he was diagnosed, symptoms. She requested any written documentation that we obtained from his medical/educational assessments so she could delve deeper and have greater insight to benefit our son. Marissa, the student learning her new subject, our son.

Over the course of three months, she and our son met each week. She taught him an array of English and math concepts and test-taking strategies all the while boosting his confidence with each and every session. She was his teacher, his partner and his cheerleader. And boy, did he perform well! His diagnostic score was very low. No one ever imagined that he would score 11 points higher on the first take of his ACT. We are SO grateful to Andy and Marissa. Fortunate doesn’t begin to describe it. The experience for our son and for us as parents was exceptional. Although I write this testimonial, the best recommendation I can provide will be future referrals. Why wouldn’t I want our friends and family to be as lucky as we were with Andy and Marissa. We will share the love!"
