We deliver effective supplemental education services that improve your college admission and scholarship potential.

We offer a five-day prep course taught by Yale University graduate Greg Owens. One-on-one tutoring with one of our top-tier tutors is also available. STARS has been successfully preparing students for the ACT since 2000.

SAT Preparation

We have designed a 14.5-hour course specifically with the new test in mind. Our new course features the same great instruction that, over the last fifteen years, has helped thousands of students improve their standardized test scores.

Tutoring

We help students from elementary school to high school develop confidence in math. Whether you have a student who is struggling in math or a student who would like to work beyond your grade level, we have tutors who will help!

Helping thousands of students attain their educational goals

What our clients say about us

Thanks so much for offering this great class! Nick said that he learned a lot and did not complain about it (which says a lot for a teenage boy). He took the ACT in April and improved his score from a 22 to a 27! We are thrilled with the improvement! Thanks so much.

Thank you for your work with Isabelle! Her ACT score increased by 7 points from a 21 to a 28! We couldn’t be more pleased.

I’m not sure if you ever hear the results of your student’s ACT scores, but I just wanted to write and thank you for your class. My son’s original score was a 23 and after your class he retested and scored a 28! Just wanted to thank you for the difference your class made for us. It was worth every penny!

I just wanted to say thanks for all you did to help Emma. Her ACT score went from a 25 to a 31. Thanks again! She couldn’t have done it without you.

I wanted to let you know that my son’s ACT score was a 24 which is 4 points higher than his first score. I think that is wonderful. My son very much enjoyed his sessions with you and it is obvious you made a big difference. Thank you so much.

Kate’s ACT composite score went up 4 points (from a 27 to a 31). I’ll continue to recommend you and your services. Our youngest will probably see you in 3 years.

I wanted you to know that Jessica scored a 31 on the ACT exam. This compares to her original score of 28. She had nothing but compliments for your preparation class, and I’m sure it played an oversized role in the score improvement.

I just wanted to thank you for helping my daughter improve her ACT score. Her score jumped from a 25 to a 28! Her first practice test in you class was a 22 and last was a 28. She really liked you class and felt you really taught her how to be a better test taker.

Thank you so much for your help in tutoring Ben. His score on the ACT improved 3 points overall. His Science score went from a 23 to a 30. Most important, Ben is very happy with his scores and appreciates all your help very much!

My composite score went from a 27 to a 30. After five sessions with you, my Science score went from a 19 to 31. My math score also went from a 25 to a 26. Thank you so much for your help! I feel so much better about applying to colleges now that my score is a 30.

We were thrilled to learn that Drew scored a 33 on his ACT test that he recently took! He is really excited, as are his dad and I. Greg, your prep classes helped a lot as Drew went from a 29 to a 33.

I wanted to thank you for the work you did with my son. You made an amazing difference in his score as it increased form a 26 to a 31.

I highly recommend STARS for their ACT Prep services. My daughter Arielle’s composite score was a 27 before she took the course. It increased by 4 points to 31 after the course. She scored a 35 on the Reading portion and a 33 on the English portion. Well worth the cost (which isn’t expensive in the 1st place) and the drive down from Michigan.
