    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    Joe Krupnick laid out a clear testing strategy in our first meeting (focusing only on the ACT, maximizing points in her strongest areas) that seemed counterintuitive but ended up panning out. The third time my daughter took the ACT, she exceeded her goal, with a score 6 points above her initial try. She got into her competitive target school, and it wouldn't have been possible without the help of Joe's test prep experts. In addition, my daughter received academic tutoring in math from John Brown for two years. As a high school teacher, John understands how to encourage and motivate adolescents. They built a good rapport, and she ended up doing well in advanced and AP math classes that she thought were beyond her reach, raising her GPA in the process. John remained a steady, optimistic presence and provided last-minute help when she needed it. Thank you, Joe, John, and the Krupnick Approach team!
