      Here’s what educators have to say about working with Making the Grade Project.

      MTEL Flex Client

      “I worked with Making the Grade on my MTEL flex for my math MTEL! I had taken the math MTEL more times than I could count and finally came close enough for the flex- however it was really confusing and didn’t give clear directions at all! I found Christine and Georgia and they really personalized what I needed in order to pass! I met 1:1 and we went through the requirements for the flex and walked me through step by step! They were available for any and all questions and they are both so knowledgeable! I highly recommend Christine and Georgia to anyone that needs help passing any and all MTEL exams.”

      MTEL Membership Participant

      “Honestly, I wouldn’t have done it without Making the Grade Project. The essay template and test structure review really helped me identify where I needed support. Just having someone hold me accountable and help me build the right study habits made all the difference. Thanks so much—truly the best support out there!”
