My daughter has always excelled in school and grades. After taking the ACT a few times with only a 1 point increase we were introduced to Alec. He worked with her on the specific areas that she needed to understand to push her score up. After 8 weeks with Alec her score went from a 28 to a 31! Amazing! This increased her scholarship by over $20,000 for 4 years. My only regret is I wish I found him sooner.

I highly recommend Transform Tutoring to help your child prepare for the ACT. My son completed the 8 week course with Alec and finished with an outstanding score of 33 after starting with a 25 on his first attempt. My son worked on practice tests with Alec, and together they corrected mistakes, implemented strategies, studied problem solving, and created a plan for time management. Because of the dedicated practice, my son developed the confidence and experience to perform well. My daughter also worked with Alec years ago and improved her score from a 21 to a 29. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to get a higher score on the ACT.

Sue Muszalski, Mother of JT and Maggie Muszalski, 11th Grade Pleasant Valley High School

Alec and Transform Tutoring helped give our daughter the skills she needed to increase her ACT score and qualify for academic scholarships. She is also an athlete, so Alec worked with her schedule to ensure she would have 8 weeks of dedicated preparation before the test. Transform Tutoring provided practice exams, study guides, and tutoring sessions that helped her on the ACT and also built upon her study skills which will help her be successful and confident in high school and college. I highly recommend Alec at Transform Tutoring!

Lori Buhr, Mother of Taylor Buhr, 11th Grade Pleasant Valley High School

Alec, thank you for all the help and guidance you gave the girls on their way to 30+ test scores! We really appreciate your expertise in ACT coaching!

Afsana Abdullah, Mother of Samina, Rebecca, and Sarah Abdullah, Pleasant Valley High School

Transform Tutoring is an amazing program that has helped both of my twin daughters improve their overall ACT scores and increase their grades in math class. They worked to improve individual weak areas and increase confidence in their overall test taking skills. After completing the ACT prep program together, my daughters improved by 7 and 4 composite points. I highly recommend this program as Alec worked extremely well with my kids. They always had fun while learning the skills they needed to be successful!

Katie Selden, Mother of Abby and Mary Selden, 11th Grade Davenport Assumption High School

Alec’s ACT tutoring program is simple and highly effective. For students willing to invest a few extra hours in themselves during the eight week program, they can expect to improve their scores, and in some cases, the improvement will be remarkable. After completing Alec’s program, our daughter improved her scores drastically (27 to 35) and will now qualify for significant merit scholarships. We enthusiastically recommend Alec and Transform Tutoring to students looking to increase their ACT scores.

Daneal Johnson, Mother of Kate Johnson, 11th Grade Roosevelt High School, Des Moines, Iowa

My son Ethan and I couldn't be happier with the results after Alec prepared him for the ACT. Ethan received a 27 the first time he tested. Although it was a good score, Ethan and I knew he could achieve higher. Alec was able to teach Ethan strategies on how to effectively take the test, how to break down the question types, and explain what areas he should focus on personally. After Ethan's sessions were completed, he retested and scored an amazing 34! We have Alec to thank for this incredible improvement. I would highly recommend Alec and Transform Tutoring to any student who knows they can do better and wants to do better.

Amy McAtee, Mother of Ethan Schmelzer, 11th Grade Sherrard High School

We heard from several friends about Alec when inquiring about ACT test preparation. He helped our daughter with testing strategies, content, and increased her confidence going into test day. She is an athlete which presented challenges finding time to prepare. Alec was great working with her busy schedule. Needless to say we were thrilled with the outcome. She increased her overall score by 8 points which will open doors to many schools and scholarship opportunities! We highly recommend his services!

Emily Scranton, Mother or Ellie Scranton, 11th Grade Pleasant Valley High School

Alec and Transform Tutoring helped give our daughter Maddie the confidence she needed to increase her ACT score by 6 points in just one training period. After 8 weeks of dedicated commitment to practice exams, worksheets, and tutoring sessions she has gained not only confidence for the ACT test, but a skill set that will help her be successful beyond high school. I highly recommend calling Alec at Transform Tutoring.

Kim Makoben, Mother of Maddie Makoben, 11th Grade Bettendorf High School

My son Ethan’s first time taking the ACT went fairly well, but he did not finish any of the sections and we believed he could improve his score. When Ethan came home from his first meeting with Alec (which was in the summer when he was off school and wanted to be hanging around with his friends), I was waiting for him to complain about the session. To my surprise he did not complain at all, and he said the session went really well and “that guy obviously knows what he is talking about.” When Ethan came home from taking the ACT following his preparation with Alec he said, “As soon as I walked in that room and sat in that chair I was so glad I did everything I did with Alec to prepare.” We were beyond thrilled when we received Ethan’s results because his composite score went up 9 points! That far exceeded our expectations, and Alec’s methodology clearly worked. I highly recommend Alec. His program is exceptional.

Judy Hermann, Mother of Ethan Hermann, 11th Grade Bettendorf High School

After 8 weeks of working with Alec, my son scored 3 points higher going from a 28 to a 31!!! He will now be able to receive some amazing scholarships thanks to Transform Tutoring. Well worth it! 

Gina Deere, Mother of Parker Deere, 12th Grade Bettendorf High School 

We are thrilled with Alec and Transform Tutoring. He helped our daughter achieve her reach score of a 30 on the ACT after spending eight weeks working with her! Her composite score increased five points from the last time she took the exam! Thank you, Alec!!

Renae Chandler, Mother of Brianne Shea, 12th Grade Bettendorf High School

My daughter took the test 4 times and didn't reach her goal. She worked with Alec for 6 weeks and raised her score 3 points, earning a $6,500 per year scholarship!

Sue Miller, Mother of Molly Miller, 12th Grade Pleasant Valley High School

After Alec worked with our daughter, she improved her ACT score 3 points. She went from a 22 to 25. Her science score jumped 10 points! Her English jumped 5! All scores increased in each category, but those two stood out. She felt more confident! This also made her practice, stay dedicated, and focused. I highly recommend!! Thanks!! We are all thrilled!!

Angela Dekeyrel, Mother of Lexi Dekeyrel,  12th Grade Rockridge High School

Through Transform Tutoring my daughter improved her ACT score by 4 points in just one testing period. Alec does a great job and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve or prepare for an exam! 

Jennifer Ruggles, Mother of Ally Gallagher, 12th Grade Bettendorf High School

Through study planning and practice testing our son raised each of his subject scores and his composite score. Alec provides specific strategies for test taking that benefited our son. Very flexible with scheduling busy students and highly professional. Only wish we had found his services earlier! Thank you for helping Mason reach his goals!

Kimberly Chin, Mother of Mason Chin, 12th Grade Bettendorf High School

We are thrilled with our daughter's improvement following the eight-week Transform Tutoring program. She increased her ACT composite score by four points, with the most significant improvements in math and science (7 points alone for math). We would highly recommend Alec's system for anyone preparing to take the ACT. His system just works!

Andrea Amato, Mother of Lauren Amato, 11th Grade Davenport Central

I contacted Alec to work with my daughter to prep for the ACT. Her composite score improved by 6 points after an 8 week course! Her improved score qualifies her for more scholarships at all of the colleges she is considering. I highly recommend Alec for tutoring. Definitely money well spent!

Ann Jones, Mother of Hannah Jones, 11th Grade Davenport West High School 

After working with Alec our daughter was able to raise her composite ACT score by 5 points! Alec is very knowledgeable and can relay information in a way that is understandable. They worked on all aspects of the test including strategies by section and timing. Our daughter also enjoyed and looked forward to her sessions. We highly recommend Alec and his program!

Lisa and Jeff Lorenger, Parents of Laura Lorenger, 11th Grade Iowa City High School

Alec's expertise in how to prepare for the ACT was invaluable for our daughter. Highly recommend! 

Kathy Pulley, Mother of Addie Pulley, 11th Grade Alleman High School

With the help of Transform Tutoring I achieved beyond my personal goals, raising my score from a 29 to a 33. In addition to hard work, Alec’s expert advice goes a long way in performing better on test day!

Jack Donahue, 11th Grade, Pleasant Valley High School

After initially scoring 26, Alec and I discussed a target of at least 28 upon program completion. During the process Alec taught me to anticipate questions, how to answer question types, and which questions are most common. Alec's methods were so effective that I reached a composite score of 33! My English score leaped from a 23 to a 35! If I could rate this 6/5 stars, I would. The knowledge I've acquired from his teaching was and will continue to be priceless!

Casey Jacobs, 12th Grade, Sherrard High School

Before I went to Alec for my tutoring sessions I knew I wanted a 30 or higher, but English and Reading were holding me back. Alec really pushed me to strategize better and helped me understand how the writers of the test question each skill. In the end he guided me to the score I wanted. 

Brendan Hird,  11th Grade, Alleman High School

Alec was so easy to work with and was so courteous working around my hectic schedule. I met with Alec to help with my math skills for the Test of Academic Proficiency (Illinois Basic Skills), and after one meeting I raised my score by 13%. I was able to complete and pass the exam after only three meetings with Alec! He is very dedicated to his work and it clearly shows through the improvements made by those he tutors.

Lexi Frakes, Student, St. Ambrose University

My 6th grader felt she was 'no good' at math. After a summer with Transform Tutoring, she has gained confidence in her abilities and has started junior high with all A's. Wonderful!

Colleen Schilling, Mother of Laura, Mike, and Nicki, Iowa City West High School

Easy to understand and effective methods to really learn concepts in math. Math isn't one of my strong points in school, but after starting with his training my test scores went from D's to A's! I would highly recommend.

Nicki Schilling, 11th Grade, Iowa City West High School

Highly recommend Transform Tutoring. Very flexible schedule and really breaks down the material you are learning to help understand exactly why something is happening. Helped me a lot in microeconomics!

 Pierce Lohman, Business Major, University of Iowa

Transform Tutoring is amazing! Alec made a huge difference in my courses. He had innovative ways to help me learn the difficult material I was struggling with. Even when I wasn't meeting with him he would text me to check in and answer questions. I recommend anyone who wants a step ahead to reach out to Transform Tutoring!!!

Summer Smith, Business Major, University of Iowa 

Great service! I used Transform Tutoring for my financial management, business statistics, and statistics for strategy problems classes at the University of Iowa. I noticed an increase in comfort level with material, performance on exams and homework, and a better understanding of concepts.
