“My son Jake worked with Own It Chicago his junior and senior year. He was feeling overwhelmed with school and started to fall behind. Moira helped him turn it around by prepping him for the ACT and working with him on his college essay. She helped him become more accountable for his daily schoolwork and we’ve seen his grades improve. He’s learned important lessons in time management, organization and study skills. In return, he’s become more confident and successful at school. Jake loves working with her and she will continue to be a resource for him as he transitions to college next year. ”

“Both of my high schoolers attended this, and it was great! I was pleasantly surprised to hear that they really enjoyed it. They loved the instructors, and they came out motivated to be and stay organized as they look towards college. It was particularly helpful that the instructors continued to follow up with the students in the weeks following the class!”
