Leslie's Tutoring

Port Orchard, WA

Leslie's Tutoring, a premium tutoring company west of Seattle, provides academic support tutoring for elementary through high school and test prep for the SAT and ACT. They began using MindPrint in 2021 to eliminate entirely the small number of clients whose progress stalled during tutoring, potentially because of unidentified learning challenges.

Leslie Cortes, the company founder, explains her MindPrint journey this way. We realized we had something powerful on our hands right away when we first tested it with one of our tutors. Our main high school tutor was, himself, prepping for the LSAT. He took the assessment and used the insights to modify his personal approach to studying. As a result, his LSAT score jumped from the top 20% to the top 9% and he expects it to move even higher.

Our tutors love the data and it informs their tutoring in every session, but where we were really pleasantly surprised was with the student response. So many of our students with struggling performance have begun to see themselves as “not smart”, “not capable”, etc. With the strengths that the MindPrint assessment shows, they begin to have a more accurate look at themselves. That self-confidence is key to improving their overall success.

With the strengths that the MindPrint assessment shows, students begin to have a more accurate look at themselves. They don't just see their weakness, but they see a way to use their strengths to help compensate for their weaker areas.
