Testimonials

Kind words from our students.

"Our daughter began at SISYFLY in August of her junior year. Throughout her time there, from her initial evaluation score to her final result, she showed an impressive improvement of 10 points on the ACT! Mike and Ken equipped her with the essential tools to boost her score, and they also offered valuable guidance to us as parents on how we can help her succeed. We are immensely grateful for the dedication and effort they invested in helping our daughter excel. Thank you!" 

— Eileen Pesantes

"Mike and Ken were exactly what my daughter needed to get her ACT score up. They gave her confidence that she would reach her goal and all the tools to get there. She enjoyed working with them both in person and on Zoom and understood the tasks they gave her. My daughter jumped from a 24 to a 31 in just a few months.  She was accepted into 7 colleges and, between them, has over $100,000 in scholarships. We are looking forward to having them work with our son this coming summer going into his junior year!"

"I cannot express enough gratitude for Mr. Mike Testa and Ken Mercer of Sisyfly. Their dedication and passion in helping my daughter prepare for the ACT were truly remarkable. Thanks to their guidance and support, my daughter not only achieved a significantly improved score but also secured the full amount for Florida Bright Futures and acceptance into all of the schools she applied to. What sets Mr. Testa and Mr. Mercer apart is their genuine care for their students' success. They go beyond mere instruction; they instill a sense of motivation and determination in their students to reach their goals. Throughout the entire process, they made what was an incredibly stressful process into a manageable one. Their focus on my daughter's mental well-being, alongside her academic performance, was truly commendable. It's evident that they prioritize the holistic development of their students, not just the bottom line. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Testa and Mr. Mercer to anyone seeking dedicated, passionate mentors who genuinely care about their students' success."

“Mike Testa is one part motivational speaker, one part therapist and one part academic advisor/tutor. He gives strategies that serve to target specific areas of improvement for increasing your scores on the ACT. He’s so good at analyzing your strengths and weaknesses and then making adjustments to your test-taking. Not only did he help me to improve my scores in every single area of the ACT, but he also helped me reach my goal of achieving the 100% bright future scholarship.”
