TESTIMONIALS

My daughter loves testing with Kyla and feels comfortable and welcomed without feeling intimidated. She tells me she's nervous beforehand, and then she says, 'it was fun, I like her' afterwards.

Speaking with Glenna and our proctor, Kyla, gave me the confidence to believe in myself more as a teacher. She was AMAZING. I cannot say enough about how much she helped me breathe. I am more excited to do school than I have been in a long time!

This is our 4th year testing with SMART and I value the data that is quickly generated from the assessment. More importantly, I continue to return because of the positive experience and interactions my son has had. Kyla is warm and patient, as well as encouraging.

Kyla makes my children feel comfortable and encouraged in an otherwise stressful experience. She goes above and beyond to help them understand what is expected of them and to encourage them to do their best.

It's nice to have a benchmark measure to compare to each year. My children are shy and were anxious about the test, but after taking it with Kyla they said, 'I loved it! I want to do it again!'

Kyla always keeps contact open. She's always good with my son and puts him at ease. She also always explains things very well.

We wanted a non-biased review of our children's knowledge. Kyla gave a quick rundown of expectations before the test and afterwards provided detailed explanations of our children's grades. She is a wonderful examiner and we will be using her again next year.

Kyla did an awesome job. She listened to my daughter's needs and was able to accommodate her severe food allergies and provide a safe testing environment. Testing went smoothly and efficiently.

Kyla was friendly, straightforward, and provided a pleasant environment. My daughter was satisfied with the experience and expressed no concerns.

Kyla answered all my questions and was very friendly. She spent time communicating my child's strengths and weaknesses and gave resources for further help.

The Woodcock-Johnson test helps extremely to work on areas of improvement. Kyla confirmed everything perfectly and was very patient with my 6 year old.

Kyla is organized and professional but very attentive and kind. She is great at giving quick but effective highlights of the test results and makes my daughter feel very comfortable during testing.

Kyla always communicated in a friendly and timely manner. She has a very cheerful personality and she helped my children overcome their initial unease with having an unfamiliar tester this year. There was a gap that I had already suspected and she took the time to discuss potential resources for next year.

Kyla was kind, knowledgeable, and my kids felt very comfortable with her.

I am so over the sun happy that I found S.M.A.R.T. testing and most of all got to have Mary Oliver administer the test. Mary is amazing with her communication. My child was so comfortable working with Mary. I believe Mary explained the results in such a way that we left feeling empowered for our next steps.

I love the personal interaction, pacing, less stressful atmosphere, and the detail in feedback. Mary was punctual, thoughtful, and thorough. She communicated in kind, patient, and clear ways.

Mary helps me see how well the girls have improved each year. She is so encouraging and also gives great suggestions on how to help them improve. My kids feel so comfortable with her.

We chose SMART because my son scores high (98%) on the other tests, but I did not know where he could use some help. SMART (and Mary Oliver) helped us to understand where he excels and where he can use a little help. She was very thorough and spent lots of time with us.

My child was nervous before she started, since it was her first time, but Mary provided her with a warm and safe space to help her feel comfortable. Mary addressed all my questions and concerns and provided great options for improving our homeschooling experience.

This is our third year choosing S.M.A.R.T as our testing administrator. Megan is very knowledgeable. I appreciate that she offers great advice and insight on how to continue to support my children's learning and development.

Megan is amazing. The kids barely feel like they are being tested, which is great since one of my students suffers from horrible test anxiety. Her feedback and suggestions have worked wonders in our homeschool.

The Woodcock-Johnson IV is the most comprehensive test I've seen. Since it's done verbally it helps my daughter and takes some of the pressure off. Megan is amazing! She can read my child's body language and adjust to still get the test complete.

Megan went above and beyond to help me understand how best to move forward with the results. She was prompt and kind.

Multiple people suggested S.M.A.R.T. Mrs. Beasley was quick to respond and very accommodating. My son was comfortable and felt very welcomed. Words cannot describe my appreciation. I will continue to use S.M.A.R.T. and hopefully Mrs. Beasley for future testing.

Our testing associate Megan has always clearly explained the results, and we were given excellent feedback about possible interventions. She always communicates clearly and is very patient with my sometimes difficult children. She also gives great recommendations for curriculum and resources to improve various areas.

S.M.A.R.T. offered the best testing option for my daughter. Megan gives extensive attention to my child during testing. My daughter doesn't come out stressed, but enjoys working with Megan, who is very patient and understanding. The absolute best thing Megan does is give me the names and websites for tools needed to help my daughter succeed.

I decided to go with Megan Beasley through a friend recommendation and will 100% be using her in the future. She was very knowledgeable and helpful when it came to my child's education.

I really appreciate Megan because she was patient with my daughter and I to make sure we understand everything, and was very helpful. She respected my daughter's privacy by administering the test in a private area. Megan helped me to understand how to support my daughter now and in the future.

Megan Beasley is highly professional and very capable. She has a welcoming and pleasant demeanor and is so sensitive to my children while administering the test.

Glenna was amazing, very patient with my children and was willing to explain and answer all the questions I had. She listened to all my concerns. She was patient and understanding when they needed to get up and move around.

This is our 10th year testing with Glenna of SMART. We have continued test with her because Glenna gives us great feedback on how our children are doing with their schoolwork. She's able to tell us specific areas to work on and what our children are excelling in.

Glenna has been extremely thorough and helpful since the first time we tested with her 5 or 6 years ago. She gives individual attention to my kids and her kind, gentle and honest encouragement has helped me guide both my boys through some tumultuous times.

Glenna is unprecedented in the work she does. I want her to be the tester of my children indefinitely. She is phenomenal. She communicates clearly and explains everything so I can understand.

My sister recommended this test and I wanted to identify gaps in my kids' learning. This was very helpful and gave some reassurance about their current knowledge as well as points to focus on in the future. Glenna was patient with the kids and explained all the results.

We continue to test with Glenna because she has been an invaluable resource and guide in understanding where the kids are testing and directing us for growth in the upcoming year. The kids look forward to working with Glenna and always come out of testing calm and relaxed. Glenna is authentic and approachable, even when I'm feeling overwhelmed.

Multiple friends have recommended S.M.A.R.T. for testing. Both of my children responded well to Glenna. They are both already asking for her to test them again next year. She was able to give me insight into my kids' weaknesses and strengths, and suggestions on how to help them over the summer and for the coming school year.

I chose to test with Glenna because of her knowledge. Testing with Glenna has been a huge help each year to see where our children are at and how to plan for the next school year. She always puts my children at ease so they can do their best and is very thorough and encouraging. We highly recommend her to all our friends.

Glenna is the real reason we use S.M.A.R.T. testing. She explains the reports and is familiar with appropriate curriculums and implementation methodologies that aid in the learning process. My children's homeschool journey has been greatly enriched due to Glenna and her guidance.

Glenna Toney is fantastic! She provided so much insight into my students last year and gave me so many practical ideas. I'm confident that our school year is going to be so much more productive because of that guidance. I can't recommend her highly enough!

Glenna is amazing. She has tested all 3 of my kids since they were old enough to test. They never worry about test day and look forward to seeing Glenna each year.

We chose SMART, because we've heard multiple families in our co-op say that you guys are the best! They were right, it was so easy to set up an appointment. We'll definitely use SMART and Charis again in the future!

First year homeschooling and I didn't know what to do. I loved the experience, from reaching the administrator, scheduling, through going over the results. Charis is awesome!

Ms. Thanos was absolutely amazing, very personal, kind, patient, attentive along with great people skills. My son and I were very comfortable and pleased with Ms. Thanos' overall performance as our examiner.

Our homeschooling association recommended S.M.A.R.T., and it was helpful. The detailed information from the test let me know where my child was academically and what areas to work on. Millie has been wonderful with additional suggestions and has gone above and beyond.

I have been utilizing SMART testing for my children since January 2022, with Millie McCall as our testing provider. The Woodcock-Johnson Assessment has been a great asset to our homeschool program. Not only does the assessment show me where my children have strengths, but it also shows me where I can strengthen their weaknesses within our home curriculum. I have especially learned a tremendous amount of information from Millie McCall, who is not only a facilitator of the testing program but also an experienced homeschool mother.

We chose to have S.M.A.R.T. administer our testing this year so I could ensure that my homeschool planning was accurate. I'm so happy to have met Autumn and have her evaluate both of my children. She was thorough, timely, friendly, compassionate, and professional.

I wanted an in-person homeschool test that is reputable. Autumn was delightful. She is incredibly warm and supremely competent. My child enjoyed the test, and I had a long debriefing with her afterward. She explained everything perfectly.

From her very first introduction, Autumn put us all at ease. She was full of smiles and led us to the testing room. She was patient, friendly, and knowledgeable, and both my kids felt comfortable with her. She was an answer to prayer for my two kids, who become anxious during any kind of test!

Autumn was wonderful in communicating and ensured that I understood the results and content of the testing. We will definitely be using this service again.

Autumn is kind and also direct. She had a great rapport with my child. She also helped explain what the scores indicated.

Renee was amazing over the phone and was so helpful. She was very quick to get back to us and had a wonderful personality to administer the test. She did a terrific job! We will use her again!

Renee was very quick to get back to me and was so helpful answering all of my first-time homeschool mom questions. She put our very nervous son at ease very quickly so he was able to focus on the assessment and really show what he knows. She gave us information on how the testing would work and possible co-ops in the area. We will absolutely be using Renee for our year end testing.
