CHP Featured Business – Next Step Test Prep Chicago

by Amanda on April 30, 2012

We are pleased to announce that this month we have chosen our first “Chicago Home Partner Business Outreach” highlighted business.  The idea behind this program is to essentially, “Help me… Help You!” by sharing your company or business with the Chicago Home Partner extended family.  We received an unbelievable number of responses and will feature each of them in time.

For our inaugural business, we have chosen to feature Annie Rahmeier and “Next Step Test Prep” located in the Ravenswood neighborhood of Chicago, IL.

Tell us a little about your company history, vision and specialties:

“Next Step Test Preparation aims to provide one-on-one tutoring at reasonable prices for students’ test preparation needs.  Next Step Test Prep began after seeing that the traditional classroom setting is not effective in helping students reach their test preparation goals, but one-on-one tutoring is.  Most students do not sign up for one-on-one tutoring because the cost is so exorbitant.  Next Step Test Prep offers private tutoring for most standardized tests.”

What does your company do for its clients:

“Next Step Test Prep helps ensure that a client walks into their standardized test confident and prepared.”

Tell us about your ideal client:

“Our ideal client is someone who has decided on their test date, has clearly defined goals, and has set aside an adequate amount of time to study.”

Do you have a link to client testimonials, online reviews or case studies (please provide):

Yes, we have a link on our website with a number of video and text based testimonials from our students.  You can access them by clicking here.

What is your Unique Selling Proposition (your differentiation factors):

“Next Step Test Prep hires only the best tutors.  Our tutors must have at least 2 years experience with multiple references from previous students.”

Save 10% on Spring Cleaning with Vicky’s Polish Cleaning

by Amanda on April 16, 2012

Every year about this time we undertake a rite of passage in our lives.  As the temperatures begin rise we begin the adventure of “Spring Cleaning” by throwing out clutter, cleaning under furniture and (finally) opening windows in anticipation of months to come.

Did you ever wonder how this tradition came to be?

Some historians track this practice back to the Persian New Year where locals made a practice of “khooneh tekouni” which literally means “shaking the house”.  Closer to home, During the 19th century prior to the advent of the vacuum cleaner, April was often the best time for dusting because it was getting warm enough to open windows and doors (but not warm enough for insects to be a problem).

Whatever the origin of Spring Cleaning – it’s something we all grudgingly embrace as a “pothole” on the road towards warmer months.  However THIS Spring… we would like to share with you a special offer from one of our Preferred Home Partners who might be able to help.

Since 2007, Vicky’s Polish Cleaning Service has been servicing Chicagoland for residential, move-in, move-out and post-construction cleanings.  Their mission is to provide a quality and professional cleaning at a competitive price.  Their staff of trained professionals is carefully evaluated to ensure you receive service that fits your needs.

Best of all, Vicky’s has been generous enough to provide a discount of 10% off your first cleaning to help you through this time of year.  Simply download the coupon below and mention that you are a Chicago Home Partner referral when booking your first cleaning!  You can also visit their website at www.vickyspolishcleaningservice.com or “LIKE” their Facebook page here.

So click on the coupon below and call Vicky’s at 630.688.9666  to get your Spring Cleaning done by the professionals!
