I am very impressed by Thore, he is very thorough and clearly has significant experience in test preparation. My daughter enjoys working with him and he is very patient with her. I have noticed that she seems to be more confident about the ACT preparation process since she started working with him. She wants to do well and is encouraged by his positivity and persistence. My daughter's grandmother picked her up from one session and even remarked about how impressed she was with him. We are very happy we found Thore!!

Elizabeth liked the session with Thore and said she understood the math a little better. She thinks these tutoring sessions will help prepare her for retaking her ACT.

Thore is an awesome tutor. He really helped to prepare my son for the ACT. I was amazed at how Thore was able to motivate my son to study and take practice tests. Thanks to Thore, my son increased his ACT by 4 points. I would absolutely recommend Thore to anyone looking for a patient, dedicated, results oriented tutor.

What I mean by the statement above is that Thore teaches the material in a way that each student can understand it. He truly understood how I was thinking about problems and taught in methods that complemented my thought process. This method of teaching made it easier for me to grasp material and learn how to do the problems faster. For example, my reading scores were low so he had me perform a passage in front of him and he identified that I was focusing on unimportant details rather than the purpose of the passage itself. Thore then proceeded to teach me methods to combat this issue and as a result, my reading section score increased by 8 points. Besides teaching methods, Thore has a vast knowledge of material. Yes, he has to teach students material because schools simply don't cover essential concepts that are tested by the ACT such as English grammar. Thanks so much Thore! P.S. I'm Thore's student and he has helped me increase my score by 5 composite points (25 to 30).

Pat D. from Chaska, MN

Thore is great! He is very patient, methodical and thorough. He covers all topics to facilitate my daughter's success. He encourages my daughter with each accomplishment, which gives her the enthusiasm to try harder! He has given her the confidence to be able to score higher in her ACT (she scored a 33!!!). Thank you, Thore!


Dona C. from Minneapolis, MN

Thore focused on ACT math techniques for my son, giving him tips to avoid common mistakes and anticipate the kinds of questions that he would encounter.


Denise M. from Saint Paul, MN

Thore taught how to read the Science Charts in ACT type questions. This was an excellent lesson in reading the charts.


Rebecca M. from Saint Paul, MN

He really knows how to help a kid prep for the ACT. He is knowledgeable, knows how to explain things, and is patient.


Xavier Z. from Los Angeles, CA

He knows exactly what he is talking about. Gave me some valuable information on the ACT science section that I never knew. Great 1st session!


Kaitlyn P. from Minneapolis, MN

My daughter had her first tutoring session with Thore yesterday. The feedback is great. "He is good, I like him." Coming from a taciturn 16 year old, this is a lot. Thank you, Thore. We are looking forward to completing the ACT prep with you.


Annette B. from Chanhassen, MN

Thore is an excellent ACT tutor. He is an expert about the Reading/English portion of the ACT Test. He is also dynamic and a great coach, He does a great job keeping the student engaged making the learning process fun which I find to be imperative to keep the student working toward their goals. Thore used all his resources to find my daughter's learning style going above and beyond when he encountered learning roadblocks. I would recommend Thore to anyone who wants to increase their ACT score. Nice work Thore! Thank You!
