Testimonials

"After completing the PSAT study course from Knowledge Guides, my PSAT score sky-rocketed from a 176 to a 221. Having taken the SAT many times and having received relatively average scores each time, I was thrilled by the success and simplicity of the program."
Mercedes G., Arlington, Texas

"James, I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for all the hard work you provided to my son. There are so many people and companies that, when hired to do a job, do provide quality work but aren't really personally or emotionally invested. I felt that you went above and beyond and that you really did care about my son's academic dreams.
Jeff P., Denver, CO

"Thanks to the instruction I received from Mr. James Pipkin at Knowledge Guides I was able to increase my overall SAT score substantially. In the critical reading section alone my score increased by 100 points. The improvement in my SAT results was a key factor in helping me get accepted to the engineering program at the University Of North Texas."
Drew B., De Soto, Texas

"Priceless: My son and I were extremely satisfied with this SAT prep class. He received personal instruction and actually enjoyed the class. He increased his SAT score and most importantly, he is a more confident student!!"

"I am thrilled with the job my daughter's reading tutor is doing, and with my daughter's progress. I wish the tutor could come every day."
Shirley B. on her Knowledge Guides' tutor, Arlington, Texas

"Knowledge Guides and its professional staff provided guidance and tutoring according to the guidelines set forth by our daughter’s Chemistry high school teachers. The tutor demonstrated a thorough knowledge of Chemistry and was able to translate that knowledge to our daughter in a simple uncomplicated manner which enabled her to complete her Online Credit Recovery Class/Tests three weeks early. My family and I would definitely recommend Knowledge Guides and their one-on-one tutoring system for anyone needing that extra 'push' in various high school subjects."
Clarence A., Arlington, Texas
