• "We have worked with Thomas since 2022 to support both of our children (CO ’23 and CO ’26) with English test preparation as well as college and scholarship application essays. We achieved excellent results for both children. Thomas was consistently patient and encouraging, demonstrated a strong awareness of each student’s individual style and preferences, and provided thoughtful, personalized strategies throughout the process. We would highly recommend Thomas to any family seeking expert, dedicated academic and college application support."

    — Celine Dixon (Class of 2023 and 2026)

  • "The Learning Curve was a great help during college applications. I struggled with the writing section of the SAT, and they helped me boost my reading section score after multiple tests with no improvement. Thomas also helped me take my college applications to the next level. Because of them I got into Georgia Tech, my dream school, and I couldn’t be more thankful. Highly Recommend!"

    — Joseph C. (Class of 2025)

  • "Thomas was so helpful during my application process! He really went above and beyond to ensure I felt good about every decision and jumped in to help me with a very short timeline."

  • "We will be forever grateful to Roni LaBarbera at The Learning Curve. She was able to help our high school son pull up his math grade from a 30 to a B during one semester. During her one-on-one tutoring sessions with him, Roni identified a learning issue and encouraged us to have him tested. This testing lead to a diagnosis and treatment that has helped him be successful in math class and all other subjects. Roni truly wants her students to be the best they can be!"

    — Ginger Missert (Lake Norman High; class of 2020)

  • "Roni and her team at The Learning Curve are amazing. She does a great job assessing a child's needs and learning style and matches them up with the right tutor. The Learning Curve was instrumental in our oldest son earning a full tuition scholarship to Alabama, and for our second son improving from 21 to 26 on the English portions of his ACT. We'll be back with our third son too! I highly recommend The Learning Curve."

    — David and Mimi Dowdy (Class of 2018 and 2019)

  • " The Learning Curve took the stress out of the college application process for our family. Their experienced tutors worked with my children to assess their individual needs and develop test-taking strategies to maximize their scores on the SAT and ACT. I highly recommend The Learning Curve to give your kids the skills and the confidence to succeed on those all-important college admission tests."

    — Jo Ann Natt (Lake Norman High; class of 2013 and 2015)

  • "My daughter has had the opportunity to work with Roni LaBarbera and her staff on a weekly basis for the past six months. During that time, she’s practiced test taking strategies and reviewed the necessary curriculum. This has been accomplished in a caring and supportive environment. We were elated with the serial results of these endeavors; specifically, an increase in Julia’s composite ACT score of four points."

    — Herb Wettreich

  • "Great experience with Roni & her staff for my daughter prepping for the ACT. She walked away with confidence that is honestly immeasurable & worth the money spent to improve not only this but her test score. In this area, there’s no better place I’ve found than the Learning Curve! Thank you, Roni, for making it an easier process than I imagined."

    — Emily Hurley Wright

  • "Roni and her team did a great job helping my son prepare for his SAT. The way they relate to teenagers and seem to draw the best out of them is to be commended and my son's SAT score reflected that! I highly recommend using The Learning Curve's services."

    — Danette King Amstein

  • "Meeting Roni was a pivotal point in my academic and personal lives. She taught my sister the freedom and opportunity that came with education, and she taught me to use academic excellence not as an end game, but as a stepping-stone to become an independent, confident woman who is able to give back to her community. We worked with Roni for three years, resulting in my acceptances to Emory University, Wake Forest University, and UNC Chapel Hill."

    — Stephanie C.

  • "Very impressed with the knowledge and communication offered. My son had 5 or 6 Skype tutoring sessions hoping to up his ACT score.... to everyone's surprise he jumped to a 31. Fantastic job to all!"
