Reviews

Tom broke down the SAT/ACT/PSAT/DIGITAL SAT/DIGITAL PSAT in a way that was simple and easy to understand. I attended his 1 hr webinar with my daughter (11th) and were so pleased to hear some strategies and sound advice regarding the SAT and digital SAT. We were so please with his presentation of material that we also enrolled in his method learning program which covers all of these. Thank you again Tom, for the simple breakdown and key points to be aware of.

Just getting started having my son work with this company, but already thoroughly impressed. Tom Ehlers, founder and president of Method Learning, one can clearly see is a passionate educator who loves what he does. He has been accessible, friendly, and particularly helpful putting what can seem like a complex process into clear perspective for our family. We're looking forward to continuing to work with his team.
