Posted on Rachel HuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Krupnick Approach was a phenomenal experience for me. As an alumna of the High Jump Program, I participated in the Krupnick Approach 2-week ACT prep summer program. The instructors and tutors were extremely dedicated and provided customized, targeted support based on data from our practice tests, allowing me to focus on exactly what I needed to improve rather than spending time on areas I already knew. The weekly practice tests closely mirrored the actual ACT, which helped me feel confident and prepared on test day. After completing the program, I felt much more comfortable taking the ACT. I scored 6 points higher than my practice test scores using the test-taking strategies taught by the tutors!Posted on Christian SanchezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really love this program. It’s a great way to improve and build your skills. If you do your part then you’ll be able to see growth and get satisfying results. I strongly recommend this program to anyone looking for more help!!!Posted on Grant MandelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Krupnick Approach is fantastic service, and they were referred to me by a friend who said that he helped her get her score up significantly. I started with Dr. Krupnick for English, Andrew for math, and Joe for science as well as reading, and all of these people helped me improve immensely. They are so flexible with their timing and scheduling, which I think is a really big perk when it comes to studying for the ACT, especially when you have a busy high school schedule. As well as they are really kind and diligent in the way they go about things, being understanding that we have responsibilities, but they are really smart as to how to make this process as seamless and as time-efficient as possible, which I really appreciate. I would rate them a 10 out of 10, a 150 out of 100 if I could. They are absolutely fantastic. I don’t think that you can do any better than this company. Dr. Joe really dedicates 100% to his students and is committed to their success. I hope that everyone has a similar experience as I did with the Krupnick Approach.Posted on Aaniya SultanaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've had an excellent experience with The Krupnick Approach! The tutoring is specifically tailored to your needs and the tutors are extremely helpful! I was a part of the High Jump Program, and the partnership between Krupnick and High Jump was excellent. I felt much more confident in taking the ACT after working with them, and I noticed clear improvement in my performance. I would strongly recommend The Krupnick Approach to any student searching for meaningful test prep!Posted on NuhaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a phenomenal experience with the Krupnick Approach 2 week ACT prep Summer program, which I had the opportunity to participate in as an alumni of the HighJump program. The practice was incredibly effective and helped me focus on exactly what I needed to improve instead of spending time on areas I already knew. The weekly practice tests closely mirrored the actual ACT, which made me feel confident and prepared on test day. Additionally, participating in the program was free and did not require any additional fees. The tutors working with the Krupnick Approach were very dedicated to helping us succeed and during every session they would use data from the most missed questions on the practice tests to give us targeted feedback. When I took the ACT two months after completing the program and with the test taking skills imparted on me by the tutors, I scored 3 points higher than my practice test scores. The program also offered the opportunity to visit the Chicago branch of the CNA. During this visit, I was given a chance to meet and speak with different members of the CNA team and ask them about their experiences. Additionally, we were given the chance to participate in a building exercise that related directly back to insurance and we were also given a tour of the building. I’m extremely grateful for both the Krupnick Approach and HighJump as they allowed me to meet new like-minded people my age, as well as utilize helpful testing strategies. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking for fast, meaningful improvement on the ACT and a plethora of other opportunities to learn about colleges and careers.Posted on Alex ZhaoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful experience with Dr. Krupnick’s program. Our child scored in the 99th percentile in both the Reading and Math sections of the HSAT, and we truly believe the Krupnick approach played a major role in that success. Joe’s personalized attention, thoughtful guidance, and ability to adapt to our child’s learning style made a meaningful difference. The instruction is well-structured, the materials are strong, and the overall environment is both supportive and motivating. We are very grateful for the care and effort the entire team puts into helping each student reach their potential. We plan to return in the future for continued preparation, including for college readiness. Highly recommend!Posted on A ShieldsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family is so grateful for Joe Krupnick and his team. We reached out to The Krupnick Approach for ACT prep for my son, particularly wanting to improve his math score. It took a few tries to find the most effective math tutor, but Joe was always willing to listen and troubleshoot to find the right fit. Andrew Kletzien was phenomenal for math! My son’s math score went up 8 points from his initial test! Cameron Gong for Science and Mark Edwards for English/Reading were very helpful also. My son ended up with a perfect score in English. Overall, his composite score went up 6 points from a 26 to a 32!! This composite score exceeded our initial expectations. I think what sets Krupnick apart is the help around strategy and test tips in addition to tutoring subject content. My son is a senior, and we’re hopeful the return on our investment in The Krupnick Approach will be seen in college offers and opportunities.Posted on Joe GalvanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Back when I was junior in high school (2018) my parents got into contact with Joe through a referral. This was when he first started The Krupnick Approach. At that time I was attaining very average scores on my SATs. Knew I eventually wanted to go to a big school which would cost $$$. I remember my parents sitting me down at the kitchen table and talked about the level of seriousness I needed to have while working with Joe. As the service was not cheap. That being said, I studied with Joe once a week for 3 months. Week by week my test taking skills improved. After it was all said and done, my score increased 200 points. The following year, I was admitted into The University of Alabama with a $32,000 scholarship which would not have been possible without working with Joe and the tutors at The Krupnick Approach. 7 years later, I run a Financial Planning practice in the city with a degree in Finance and Value Investing from Alabama. We talk about ROI a lot in my world, and a $5,000 investment in The Krupnick Approach saved my family $32,000 in tuition. Talk about ROI. To this day, Joe and I are still very good friends and talk quite often. I could not recommend his quality of character and knowledge, nor level of expertise in a particular field any higher. If you're looking to make an investment in your kid, your best shot is with The Krupnick Approach.Posted on Jennifer STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joe and the team at The Krupnick Approach have been amazing! Her scores were solid with the exception of one section and Joe wanted to focus there. My daughter's score in reading went up 8 points! She has added schools to her list that previously would have been a stretch. Thank you, Joe and team!!
