“I have known Carolyn Devane for more than 20 years. During that time, the Bishop Miege guidance counselors have referred hundreds of students to her class, and they achieved excellent results. My own sons were amazed at the improvement of their scores. Recently we were thankful that she agreed to host a class on our campus. Students raved about this opportunity, and the quality of the instruction acquired that day. Carolyn and her company Power Prep have been instrumental in students achieving their dreams!”

Students report the ACT prep is helpful and the presentation engaging and professional.”

“Carolyn Devane’s Staff Training made the invisible components of the ACT visible for our teachers. One of our most discerning teachers commented that Carolyn’s training was the best professional development she had received in years. Carolyn provided our teachers a toolbox full of techniques they can share with students that will ultimately increase achievement, ACT scores, and future opportunities. She presents information in a dynamic manner that leaves teachers feeling empowered. From novice teachers to veteran teachers, Carolyn’s training delivered useful, ready-to-use instructional practices that our teachers will be able to easily implement today!”
