I can't say enough good things about Vicki Powers Haefele and her tutoring program, Strategies of Success. Her guidance played a pivotal role in my academic achievements in high school and beyond. From mastering standardized tests like the ACT and SAT to navigating the college admissions process, Vicki’s personalized approach changed the way I tackle every test and academic challenge.

Beck - Oklahoma State Medical School
Strategies of Success helped me immensely in preparing for my college admittance exams, allowing me to be accepted into all 10 music schools I applied to! Vicki’s tutoring has stuck with me and the skills have transferred into my work as both a music educator and a historian by allowing me full knowledge of the English language, how to read incredibly quickly and absorb more information. I am so thankful for her support over the years and working with her is an honor!

Emily - Shenandoah Conservatory
Vicki Haefele has helped myself and two siblings to achieve an average 7-point increase on their ACT scores, leading to full academic scholarships for two of them. Her organized sessions focus on both subject mastery and essential test-taking strategies, including speed reading and time management. With a reputation strong enough to earn referrals from a secondary principal, Vicki's impact is immediate and lasting. Her dedication goes beyond test prep—she genuinely cares about her students’ long-term success. If you're aiming to boost your ACT scores or need support in reading or English, Vicki comes highly recommended!

Casey - Presidential Scholar at Northeastern State University
I strongly recommend Mrs. Vicki Haefele for anyone preparing for high-stakes exams. During my MCAT prep, I struggled most with the Critical Analysis and Reasoning section, which requires interpreting complex texts and understanding the author’s intent. Vicki’s training helped me increase my reading speed and introduced me to intelligent guessing strategies that transformed how I approached the section. My score improved by over 25%—a huge leap that helped me get into the medical program I aimed for. I’m incredibly grateful for her guidance.

Working with Vicki was a turning point for me. She played a vital role in helping me gain admission to my dream school. Not only did my scores in the reading and English sections of the ACT improve dramatically, but I also became a stronger, more confident writer. Her deep knowledge of standardized testing, coupled with kindness and genuine care for her students, makes her an outstanding tutor. You truly can’t go wrong with Vicki!

Trevor
Vicki Haefele has helped all three of my siblings dramatically improve their ACT scores—an average increase of 7 points. My older brother gained 8 points and earned scholarships; I improved by 6 points and received a full academic/leadership scholarship; and my younger brother followed suit with a 6-point increase and full academic award. Vicki’s expert test strategies, speed reading techniques, and dedication make a real impact. She’s always prepared, supportive, and genuinely invested in her students’ success. If you’re serious about improving test scores, Vicki is the tutor you want!
