WE ARE SO THANKFUL FOR KYLE!

SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE FOUND BREAKTHRU TUTORING!
Breakthru Tutoring has been super helpful for my daughter who was struggling in math. Kyle was able to quickly figure out the holes in her core math skills, and rebuild those. Then we could get caught up to grade level expectations. He has a cheerful, positive attitude that helped my daughter be engaged, and feel encouraged. It has helped her to see that she can be good at math! We are grateful to have this great resource. It is worth the expense for sure. ~ Sarah - 12/2/20
KYLE IS AMAZING AT TEACHING KIDS!
Our son suffered a traumatic brain injury last year resulting in difficulty with concentration, memory, reasoning, planning and problem-solving. Since then, he has really been struggling to stay afloat in math. We were at the end of our rope, and seeking out help. We were stressed, he was crying, it was not good. Someone recommded Kyle, which has been such a blessing. Our son comes out of his sessions feeling empowered and actually excited about math. He is gaining back some of the confidence he lost. Kyle is very patient and caring. He really goes above and beyond, and is amazing with kids. Highly recommend! ~ Lisa - 11/30/20

BEST PRIVATE MATH TUTORING IN CUYAHOGA FALLS
Kyle is beyond amazing! He has tutored both of my children and has been a lifesaver. My kids each have their very own and unique learning style. Kyle was able to teach them in an individualized style. Therefore, they learned the math concepts that had alluded them during classroom instruction. My daughter even said, "Kyle makes math fun." That is high praise coming from a teenager! As a busy mom, I appreciated the outstanding communication from Kyle. He answered calls and emails promptly and sent weekly reminders about upcoming sessions. Kyle also sent a recap of the tutoring session and suggestions on areas to work on to improve the student's skills. I highly recommend Breakthru Tutoring! Kyle is the BEST! ~ Kathy - 10/30/20
TOP MATH TUTOR IN CUYAHOGA FALLS
Kyle is incredible! My son hated math. Every day his math homework had us all in tears. Kyle gave my son confidence and simplified math for him. He helped him to learn the patterns and strengthen his foundation. Math is becoming my son’s favorite subject in a very short time working with Kyle. My husband, son and I are incredibly grateful for Kyle’s positive, encouraging and simplifying approach to math. I truly cannot recommend Kyle enough. ~ Katherine - 10/29/20
KYLE IS AN EXCEPTIONAL MATH TUTOR
Over the last several years, I have hired a number of tutors for my daughter. While they have all been great educators, Kyle is above and beyond the very best. From his student portal systems, video playback, thorough communication, to his unwavering support and encouragement of our daughter, he has proven to be the very best educator to help our daughter. He is exceptional and I am very grateful to have found him. ~ Tammy - 09/15/20
MATH TUTORING THAT IS WORTH THE INVESTMENT
My son has struggled with math since day one. From the day he started with Kyle I watched him go from having anxiety and anger over attending tuturing to looking forward to the sessions. Kyle has a unique approach. He is excellent at drawing the best out of his students. I would highly recommend Kyle. He is well worth the investment for your child. ~ Mary Jo - 09/05/20
KYLE IS A FANTASTIC MATH TUTOR. LOOK NO FURTHER!
We have been using Breakthru for a few weeks now for our eighth grader and Kyle has been fantastic! Our son has grown in leaps and bounds with his understanding of Algebra. Kyle was able to find the holes in his math skills so we could quickly address them- which helped immensely with his ability to understand the process. Our son has really enjoyed working with Kyle, as he makes math easy to understand and enjoyable. I feel like he is finally on a pathway to success in this upcoming school year. ~ Lauren - 08/08/20
KYLE IS AN AMAZING TUTOR!
Kyle is an amazing tutor! He makes math fun and caters the lessons to the students personality type! For Kyle teaching math is more than just learning formulas its seeing math in the everyday and understanding why we are learning it! ~ Mike - 07/15/20
GREAT ACT TEST PREP INSTRUCTOR!
I had a great time working with Kyle for the ACT, he is very patient and handles the problems professionally. He also explains them in a very easy way to understand, even if the problems are complicated. Thank you Kyle! ~ Merit - 05/10/20
GREAT INSTRUCTOR! DEFINITELY WORTH CHECKING OUT!
My daughter really enjoys working with Kyle and she has so much more confidence in herself. Kyle's office is conveniently located with plenty of parking for in person tutoring or flexible online classes. My daughter has had tremendous academic improvement in a very competitive school. Great guy, great prices and definitely worth checking out! ~ Monica - 02/10/20
50/50 ON HIS NEXT TEST! THANKS KYLE!
We had a great experience with Kyle at Breakthru Tutoring. My son, a Junior in High School fell behind in school work because of missing days due to the flu. He needed help getting caught up in Pre Calc and getting back on track. Kyle was incredible at understanding and asking the correct questions on what areas he needed to address. He quickly put together a plan and had our son back on track in just a short period of time. Our son came back and got a 50/50 on his next test. He also explained the material well and related well with our 17 year old. Would definitely recommend. We will go back if our son needs further assistance. Thanks Kyle, you were great! ~ Karen - 02/05/20
KYLE IS AN AWESOME INSTRUCTOR!
Kyle has done a great job with tutoring our daughter. He has been prompt and professional for each lesson. He has geared each lesson based on her academic needs. Our daughter has showed improvement in both tutoring sessions and in her math class at school! ~ Michelle - 01/15/20
EXCELLENT INSTRUCTOR!
Going back to school in my mid 30s. Needed a refresher in algebra, in mathematics period as its always been a struggle for me. Kyle proved an excellent instructor and wasn't worried about the allotted time frame as much as he wants to ensure his student gets the knowledge. And it's worth noting, I drove from Youngstown for his help. Would go to again. ~ Shawn - 01/6/20
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP! WE ARE FOREVER GRATEFUL!
Kyle did an amazing job with my daughter; he was patient, understanding and was genuinely interested in what she needed. His style was so personalized that it made my daughter feel very comfortable and understood! I would let my best friend know that her children would be in excellent hands with someone who would take the time to get to know them and develop a personalized style to best meet her children’s needs. Thank you so much for all you did to help my daughter Kyle. I am forever grateful! ~ Christine - 12/15/19
MY DAUGHTER SCORED 5 POINTS HIGHER IN ENGLISH! HIT A 31!
My daughter was comfortable working with Kyle. He definitely knows what he's doing, and he presents things in a way that makes the whole ACT process less stressful. Their sessions concentrated on learning english grammar rules and after just a few meetings her score in this area increased 5 points!!! ~ Susan - 07/30/19
KYLE’S PROGRAM HELPED MY DAUGHTER EARN A 32!
Kyle’s program is setup extremely well. The overviews on each section in the workbook, the math assessments, and going over incorrect answers were incredibly useful. Kyle is very kind and supportive! His tutoring method is incredibly effective and personalized to fit each student’s needs. ~ Ranga M. 07/10/19
FANTASTIC TUTOR! LOOK NO FURTHER!
I highly recommend Breakthru Tutoring if you have a student who needs assistance with classwork, skill mastery or test preparation. Kyle is not only very knowledgeable, but he makes it a point to build a great rapport with the student before they even begin working on the tutoring content. By getting to know my son as a person and not just a client, Kyle was able to connect with him and put him at ease. This made the tutoring process a much more enjoyable experience for him and made him feel like he was being assisted by a friend instead of tutored by a teacher. In my opinion, this approach made all the difference. In addition, sessions were easy to schedule and the convenience of being able to have tutoring sessions done via Skype/Facetime-type settings over the computer were a godsend for a busy family like ours. Knowing that the sessions could take place at a time that was convenient for us, without having to worry about travel time, or how to occupy our time while our student was in a session, was a huge bonus. My son never dreaded tutoring sessions or complained about the homework assigned between sessions. I am sure that this is due the fact that Kyle is always incredibly positive and supportive throughout every session. Even when my son would arrive at an incorrect answer, Kyle would gently and kindly review the steps of the process to reveal where the issues presented. Once corrected, Kyle would offer such positive reinforcement that my son would want to continue and show his mastery of the subject. As a parent, I appreciated getting summaries of each session that let me know my son’s strengths and weaknesses and what the focus of the next session would be. Overall, I not only saw my son’s skill set improve, but I also saw him grow in his confidence and ability to problem solve. If you have a student who is looking for a little extra assistance, Breakthru Tutoring is the answer you’re looking for. ~ Lavonne - 11/16/19
4 POINT IMPROVEMENT! MY DAUGHTER EXCEEDED HER SCORE GOAL!
I can't recommend Kyle and his Elite test Prep service enough!!! He was so positive from beginning to end. My daughter was stuck at an ACT score and was feeling as if she couldn't break through her plateau. Kyle identified why she had been stuck, clearly outlined his plan to overcome the challenge and explained what her commitment was going to need to be to succeed. Throughout the entire process he built her confidence and provided positive support. His lessons were personalized to meet her individualized needs. She truly felt confident the day she went into the ACT exam because Kyle had systematically worked to help her overcome her challenges. Additionally, we have worked with Kyle for academic tutoring and found his academic coaching services to be the best. Before finding Kyle we tried a few others and have found his services so far above the rest. Highly recommend!!! ~ Julie - 04/28/19
MY SON SCORED 6 POINTS HIGHER IN ENGLISH!
If you are afraid of spending money and not getting results, don’t be! Kyle helped my son score 6 points higher in english in only 3-4 sessions. He is organized, accommodating, and an excellent communicator! ~ Sherrie - 04/26/19
KYLE GETS RESULTS!
Prior to signing up for tutoring I was fearful that my son might not match up well with Kyle’s personality and teaching style. Boy was I wrong! It was a great fit! Kyle is very consistent and structured. He made it very easy to know what to do and how to prepare. My son scored 3 points higher after with Kyle! ~ Jenn - 03/01/19
KYLE HELPED MY SON EARN A 32 ON HIS ACT!
Kyle is an outstanding instructor who demonstrates the ability to draw on his in-depth knowledge of ACT subjects, to set clear goals, to use appropriate assessments, and to provide high-quality feedback to his students. My son gained valuable insight into developing critical-thinking skills, problem-solving skills, and problem approach behaviors to use towards mastering the ACT exam. In addition, Kyle shows respect for his students and encourages them to work towards meeting their academic goals. He captures the essence of what an excellent instructor should do and be for his students. I am proud to say that after many long hours of studying my son earned a 32 on his last ACT. Thank you Kyle for your continued inspiration and support! ~ Chris - 09/20/18
7 POINT INCREASE IN MY SON’S ACT SCORE
I can't say enough good things about our experience with Breakthru Tutoring! My son, Jack, started working with Kyle to prepare for the ACT. Kyle worked diligently with Jack to teach him how to take the test. With in person sessions, online coursework between sessions, real-time mock ACT tests and analysis of the actual tests, Kyle was able to determine Jack's strengths and weaknesses. He taught him how to optimize his time, analyze the questions and narrow down the answers. All of this resulted in a 7 point increase in my son's score!!! Additionally, he used the techniques that he learned to improve how he studied and took tests at school. This was definitely a great investment in our son's future! Kyle was very easy to work with, very accessible and able to answer all our questions at any time. ~ Kathy - 07/27/18
WE ARE SO THANKFUL!
My daughter (who is now 13) has struggled in school since the third grade. She doesn't qualify for an IEP. She doesn't have dyslexia. She doesn't have a learning disability. School is just really hard for her. Just when she would start to understand what her teacher was teaching, the teacher would move on to the next section and she wasn't ready. She would always fall behind. She was always discouraged. She would study for hours and days just to bring home a C- or a D. Then she would say "why should I even try?" We have been to many different tutors and although they were good, they didn't impact or help my daughter like Kyle at Breakthru Tutoring. After the first session with Kyle, she said "He gets me mom. Thank you for finding him". That is huge for a child to say about any tutor. Kyle is personable and knows how to break math down so my daughter understands it. He is building her a strong foundation and will be ahead of the game before entering 8th grade . After just a few sessions my daughter has more confidence and is actually starting to like math. We will continue to work with Kyle as needed all school year long. I wish I would have found him before my son took his ACT's. If your child needs help with math or prepping for the ACT - Breakthru Tutoring is the bomb! Thank you Kyle for being so kind and connecting with my daughter. We are so thankful! ~ Michelle - 07/14/18
MY SCORE INCREASED 5 POINTS!
Kyle Simon is an amazing and kind person to work with. He is very encouraging and willing to offer help to whoever is in need. I went to Kyle in hopes of improving my ACT score. The sessions I had with him were definitely worth my time. All the hard work I put in payed off at the end. Kyle helped me bump my ACT score up by 5 points to a 33! He is a very dedicated individual who is committed to helping his students. I enjoy working with Kyle and recommend tutoring with him! ~ Meha - 4/29/18
ESSENTIAL IN HELP ME SCORE A 34 ON MY ACT!
This past summer, my friend and I began studying for our first ever ACT, and we had no idea where to begin, especially when it came to relearning math concepts. We ended up calling Kyle at Breakthru Tutoring. Throughout the summer, Kyle reviewed many math concepts with us and helped us to really understand any problems that we missed on practice tests. Finally, I took my first ACT in September and received a 32. I continued to practice and then took the ACT in October and received a 34. This improvement was mainly due to Kyle’s excellent teaching skills, and his willingness to listen when one is struggling with a particular concept. I definitely recommend Kyle to anyone looking for assistance with math, not only for the ACT, but also in general. He is a very good tutor and assisted me greatly. ~ Claire - 09/29/17
I GOT A 34 ON MY ACT!
Kyle helped me tremendously with preparing for the ACT. I scored a 34!!! Not only does he teach me the material that I don't understand, he also teaches me test-taking tips so I avoid losing careless points and get the best score possible. He’s also very friendly, funny, easy to talk to, and makes the tutoring sessions enjoyable instead of something I dread. Kyle was also very flexible with scheduling, which helped me a lot since I have a pretty hectic schedule that often changes last minute. Overall, Kyle was a great tutor who created a stress less learning environment and was a great help to me. ~ Minseo - 09/26/17
ALWAYS THERE WHEN NEEDED!
Kyle has been tutoring my daughter for about a year. We initially contacted him for his services to help with her math studies. After seeing improvement in her math grades we continued using Kyle to tutor her with not only math but her ACT’s. She just took the ACT and after working with Kyle improved her cumulative and individual scores. Kyle always makes himself available for her even in emergency situations when she receives last minute test notifications. He is always prepared for her lessons and incorporates the information she forwards to him prior to the lesson. His instruction is easy to follow and understand. Most importantly he connects with the student. I have a would strongly recommend Kyle to other parents and students. ~ Renee - 09/22/17
MORE THAN WE EXPECTED!
I am a high school teacher and I mentioned to students that I needed a tutor for my son who was struggling in Geometry. Three of my students, including our valedictorian, said that they hired Kyle for ACT prep and went on and on about what a great teacher he is. One of them said they were close to failing geometry until he helped her understand; she said it was like the scales fell off her eyes. Well, upon those recommendations we have had Kyle work with our son. He has been a blessing! Not only does our son like Kyle personally (he’s “cool”) and enjoy working with him, he says that he explains things in such a way that they make sense to him. Kyle has given him confidence that he’s never really had in math. From a mother’s perspective, I am so thankful that Kyle is there to encourage our son and help in ways that we can’t. He is always so well prepared and really earns every cent we pay him. ~ Holly - 09/10/17
GREAT EXPERIENCE!
Kyle Simon is an excellent math tutor. He is patient and encouraging, which has helped my son with his confidence in math. My son always feels comfortable to ask Kyle questions, and he truly understands a concept after Kyle's explanation. Kyle also responds quickly to my son's and my email/texts. He answers my son's questions that come up between tutoring sessions, and he provides extra problems for practice to gain mastery. I thoroughly recommend Kyle as a math tutor. ~ Carrie - 09/06/17
EXACTLY WHAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR!
I cannot say enough about Kyle. We hired him to tutor our eighth-grade son in algebra. Kyle went above and beyond to help our son be successful. On his own time, Kyle reached out to the classroom teacher, made templates to help organize my son’s work and began to prep him for the ACTs. Our son’s semester exam scores improved 14% points once he began to work with Kyle. He was friendly, fun, courteous and dependable. I would highly recommend Kyle! ~ Kathy - 06/29/17
EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE ACT TUTOR
Kyle also tutored my son during his preparation for the ACT last Spring, in which Bud received a 32 Composite score. We were very pleased. I can’t recommend Kyle Simon highly enough for an y math position. He’s an extremely effective, responsible and conscientious teacher! ~ Rachel - 09/05/17
EXCELLENT ACT PREP TUTOR!
Kyle Simon made a huge impact on our son’s future. Through his patience and dedication (and a 504 accommodation) he helped our son go from an 18 to a 28 on his ACT score during the spring of 2017. Our son is a dedicated baseball player & Kyle was very accommodating to his workout & practice schedule. He would send encouraging messages before the tests & follow up afterwards. Kyle found out our son’s strengths and enhanced those to achieve the highest success. We highly recommend Kyle Simon for ACT tutoring. ~ Mary - 06/27/17
PROFESSIONAL MATH TUTOR!
Mr. S. turned a light on inside my son and ignited a passion to learn that I had no idea still existed. We feel very fortunate to have found Mr. S. and have every confidence in his ability to bring out the best in each of his students. Parents will enjoy his great feedback and concrete plans with clear objectives. Students will enjoy his warm, confident energy and judgement free approach. He will make them feel comfortable and capable of reaching their goals. ~ Ginger - 03/31/17
KNOWLEDGABLE AND PATIENT TUTOR!
I would highly recommend Kyle as a tutor. He is very knowledgeable, but equally as important he knows how to communicate that knowledge to his students. His patience knows no bounds, and he immediately puts the kids at ease. My daughter gained confidence AND improved her math skills. Truly, Kyle missed his calling. He would be a phenomenal teacher! ~ Chris - 02/09/17
AWESOME TUTOR!
He has helped me tremendously! I was on my way to failing calculus, but after learning from Kyle, I am confident I will pass with a high grade! Thank you Kyle!! ~ Jaret - 12/20/16
OUTSTANDING TUTOR!
My daughter is a senior who is preparing to take the ACT for the second time. She has been working with Kyle with the goal of improving her math score. Math has always been a challenge for her, yet she has been nothing but complimentary about Kyle's instruction. He has been very patient and encouraging and clearly explains concepts in a way that she is able to understand. He has helped her identify the specific types of math problems she is struggling with and clearly provides the instruction needed to solve them. Her confidence level has greatly improved, and I have no doubt her ACT math score will improve, as well. As a parent, Kyle has been extremely friendly, communicative, reliable, and flexible. I have been very impressed with his professionalism, and I highly recommend his tutoring services. ~ Heather - 08/30/16
A BIG HELP!
Kyle has been a terrific tutor! He's is very organized and detail oriented, coming up with a plan which focused in on tackling Miranda's biggest issues and she is very pleased with how things have been going so far. She has had two in-person sessions and one on-line and all have gone very well. I especially like that she seems more confident after every session that she will be able to improve her ACT Math score, and her lack of confidence in her own skills is one of her major issues. So, it's not just the "nuts and bolts" that are being dealt with, but he is working on all of the things which will help her succeed. ~ Susan - 08/24/16
AN EXCELLENT FIRST SESSION!
My son is being tutored for his math ACT's. He came away from the lesson excited to learn more and confident in his abilities to do well and improve his skills and score. Very positive experience. ~ Thea - 08/15/16
VERY HELPFUL!
The online lessons with Kyle were very helpful! I feel very prepared for the math section of the ACT now and can walk in confident. His little tips and pointers for this section of the ACT are great and effective. I went from a very low score to a 26! ~ Alex - 06/10/16
GREAT TUTOR!
Kyle makes things easy to understand and has helped my son feel more confident in his abilities to solve Algebraic problems and in his preparation for the ACT. ~ Chris - 06/07/16
ENCOURAGING AND EASY TO WORK WITH!
I am in advanced math classes yet I was still getting lower than expected scores on my math ACT. Kyle explained to me where I likely was making mistakes and after each practice test I took, worked though the problems I missed with me to help me understand where I went wrong. After only 3 sessions my estimated score bumped from a 25 to a 31! Kyle is very patient and makes you feel comfortable asking questions, and helps you to understand exactly what the ACT is looking for. ~ Elana - 05/28/16
THOROUGH ACT PREP INSTRUCTOR!
Kyle is very thorough in the subject matter and is very encouraging which helps to instill confidence. He is also very organized in scheduling the tutoring sessions. ~ Michael - 03/07/16
GREAT TUTOR!
Kyle has been tutoring my son for about a month now in preparation for the ACT test next month. My son gets anxious when taking big standardized timed tests. Kyle has given him the math and testing confidence which I believe will improve his scores significantly! My son often comes back from tutoring stating that he learned so much. Kyle is easy to work with and always returns texts. Thanks Kyle! ~ Diana - 02/26/16
ABOVE THE REST!
Kyle's service is outstanding from beginning to end! Scheduling with him is easy. He works to find a time to fit your schedule. His lessons are in depth and well planned out. They are individualized to meet your specific needs. He provides additional support material for practice, as well as, review worksheets and practice tests. After each lesson he writes a review of the session, explains what you need to work on and outlines the upcoming lesson. Most of all, he makes sure you truly understand what you are learning. He reviews after tests to make sure you understand what was missed before you move on to the next lesson. He is both a support to what you are learning and a teacher of what you need to know. He is simply above the rest! ~ Grace - 02/26/16
GREAT TEACHER!
Kyle, came prepared and ready to teach. My daughter said he did great job also, which is amazing coming from a teenager who reluctantly gave up three hours of her weekend to review math concepts for the ACT. I would definitely recommend him and we will be using him again in the future! ~ Marcie - 01/25/16
FABULOUS TUTOR!
Kyle has just started tutoring my daughter for the ACT. With each session they have had she has come away with a new bit of information to take with her to her next testing session in December. Her confidence builds with every session they have. He knows his content very well. Kyle is a responsible young man, always on time, lets me know what they have covered for each session they have had and what they are going to cover with their next session. If they are on a roll he doesn't worry about the time and will keep going with the session until they are at a good stopping point. Kyle cares about my daughter's success. We are fortunate to have found him to help her. ~ Chelli - 11/22/15
AN OUTSTANDING TEACHER AND LEADER!
Kyle has been tutoring my son for the past several months. The focus is Math and he has done an excellent job in advancing my son in the subject. He has made it easier to comprehend and move forward with even the most mundane Math questions of all. Kyle has prepared him in the aspect of test taking and has managed to observe my son's strengths and weaknesses. When he arrives he is punctual and has a lesson plan available. He is never rushed nor watching the clock during his visits. Kyle comes to perform the task at hand and does a fantastic job of keeping it interesting and informative. Kyle has also given my son the confidence he needed in order to excel. Overall, he has helped him tremendously. He makes coming over for a session relaxing, yet constructive. My son is very comfortable with him, as he is professional and personal all in one. We look forward to the upcoming exam as I am certain we will see an improved score, which has been our goal all along. We thank Kyle very much for his time and expertise. I would HIGHLY recommend him for anyone's tutoring needs. ~ Deborah - 08/26/15
