“With just three weeks remaining until my Early Decision college app deadline, my essays were still far from finished. Lacking motivation, I found myself in complete dissarray. I reached out for a tutor in the nick of time and found Max Kramer. He helped me brainstorm ideas and expand upon them in meaningful ways, turning the college application process from a stressful chore into an enriching challenge. Now that I’ve gotten accepted into the college of my dreams, I have Max to thank for the insightful, productive environment he brought to our tutoring sessions.”

“Max worked with my son for about a year.  My son started off feeling quite anxious and down about the whole process.  Before we worked with Max, he went through the CPS selective enrollment testing during Covid.  Despite incredible hard work and the (not Max) tutoring he did, it didn't work out the way he had hoped.  He didn't get into the school he wanted.  Fast forward a couple of years and the last thing he wanted to do was start ACT prep.  Max was incredible with him.  He built his confidence and made it fun.  Max adapted to my son's needs and mindset and got him to a place where he felt confident and saw the hard work was paying off.  My son's score moved up from 26 to 31!”

“Thanks to Max’s excellent tutoring, my son scored very high on both his high school placement tests (CPS and Catholic school). During an initial evaluation, Max was able to quickly identify areas in math and language arts to spend more time reviewing and really tailor future sessions to reinforce principles in those areas. Max was also able to alleviate my son’s stress with the whole process making it more comfortable for him to ask questions and really engage with Max. Max was very flexible with scheduling as some weeks we needed to adjust the session times. I highly recommend Max to anyone and would be happy to provide more details.”

“Max was a godsend for both our Senior in HS preparing for his ACT exam and our 8th grader preparing for her Chicago HS placement exam and Catholic School exam. Max was flexible with his scheduling, had great rapport with the kids (actually made it fun for them) and really knew the information. He has an easy going style, and this allowed for my kids to feel relaxed to focus and get the most out of the sessions. Max has become a friend of the family now and makes himself available to assist with upcoming tests, or tutoring for classes. He is a gem and big bonus: charges less than other testing centers.

You can’t go wrong using Max!”

-Suzanne, Parent

“My family has been working with Max for [several years] now. He helped my son immensely in preparing for the Chicago High School Enrollment test and eventually the enrollment process at Lane! He has also been working with my daughter to prepare for the ACT and the entire college search/application process. He's extremely knowledgeable about the material, responsible, and the kids love working with him. I cannot recommend him enough!”
