Testimonials

“Without Susan Follansbee and Scholastic Pursuits, I wouldn’t have achieved a full tuition and fees scholarship. With her guidance, I increased my SAT score by nearly 200 points, earning me a full-ride. Her approach to hard work and pattern recognition made all the difference.”

"I would like to personally thank Susan for all her helpful techniques she taught me - I went into my test with the utmost confidence from her service. She was great to work with and personalized her teachings in ways for me to understand. She won’t let you down!"

Max Brown, CO

"Scholastic Pursuits' Test Prep program was a wholesome experience for me. Susan will personalize the entire process around your personality, to meet your needs and goals. Without a doubt this program helped me with the SAT (scored in full-ride scholarship range), and I would entirely do it again! "

Ryan & Elizabeth Walker, CO

"We highly recommend Susan. She helped our son Jacob go from struggling to read to reading fluently in just weeks, building both his skills and confidence. She also supported our older son Luke through 8th grade and test prep, helping him achieve strong scores, earn accelerated acceptance to the Colorado School of Mines, and pursue scholarship opportunities.

Beyond academics, Susan inspires a genuine love of learning. She is kind, encouraging, and always prepared, and both of our sons truly looked forward to their sessions with her."

"Susan is one of the most exceptional educators I’ve ever encountered. In just a few months, she helped my 11-year-old son make incredible progress we never thought possible.

From the start, she took the time to understand how he learns best and tailored her approach to fit. Once she did, the improvement in his schoolwork was remarkable.

I can’t recommend Susan highly enough. Her expertise, insight, and ability to unlock a child’s potential make a lasting difference."
