Teaching Students Engineering Principles at a Young Age is Vital for Developing Skills

Hey Mr. O’Toole! I took the October ACT test my final time a few weeks ago.  The multiple choice scores were posted online this morning. I’m happy to report that I received a composite score of 35.  For individual sections, I scored 36 on english (not quite sure how I pulled that one off, but I did), 36 on math, 33 on reading, and 34 on science. I’d like to thank you for helping me with all of those classes.  Your classes helped me improve my score (a composite of 29 last April) a jump of 6… Read more

Mr. O’Toole is an impressive teacher; both his PSAT and ACT classes are efficient, extremely well run and very helpful. I have taken prep courses from Kaplan and Princeton Review; nothing compares to his course. Mr. O’Toole’s personal approach, humor, energy, and course rigor are unmatched in my experiences! The net result of his instruction can be seen in the results of my ACT – my composite score increased by six points!!!

Our daughter drove from Stillwater to take the ACT Review Course with Steve O’Toole. She thought very highly of Mr. O’Toole and said he was the best instructor she has ever had! Steve O’Toole provided individual guidance and even went out of his way to schedule separate review sessions for those who could not make all regularly scheduled classes. This ACT Review Course reviewed key skills and then focused on strategies for taking the ACT. He also included several practice tests to help the stude… Read more

I knew Mr. O’Toole as a football coach and heard about his excellent reputation of helping students raise their ACT scores. Mr. O’Toole had us take practice tests, then provided individual feedback as to specific elements of our performance in each section. The biggest benefit of this class was the instruction of specific skills needed for the test. Not only did his course help me for the ACT test, but in addition, the skills learned helped me in my AP Language and Composition class. I would rec… Read more

Hi Mr. O’Toole, I just wanted to give you a quick thank you for your ACT prep class. I got my score back last week, a 34, which is much better than I expected, and I owe a lot of that to the strategies I learned in your class. Thanks again, S

Hi Mr. O’Toole, I just received my ACT score from the June 13th test date, and am happy to report I received a composite score of 32! The individual section scores are as follows: Reading (35), English (34), Science (31), and Math (27); I have yet to find out my writing score. I am greatly appreciative of all your support and help in the process of taking the ACT, without your teaching and prep class I wouldn’t have gone from a 28 (in March) to my current score. Thanks again and I hope you ar… Read more

We decided to have our sons travel the extra 25 miles to Eden Prairie to attend Mr. OToole’s ACT Prep class because we heard it was a fantastic learning experience. We were not disappointed – the boys enjoyed Steve’s enthusiasm, expertise, and method of delivery. Although they had attended other ACT prep classes in the past, Steve’s class was far and away the most valuable and it showed in their increased scores on the test. They were much more prepared, relaxed, and confident as a re… Read more
