“Tutoring for the ACT and Calculus was another wonderful benefit in working with The College Store. The tutors Joe employs are outstanding, very intelligent, young adults who excel in their chosen field. Tutoring in Calculus, in particular, helped our son pass the AP Calculus exam with a high score receiving college credit for the course. Something our son did not believe he could do on his own.”
