ACT Prep

We specialize in 1-on-1 ACT Prep Coaching. Private ACT Prep Coaching is for students who want to deeply study all 4 parts of the ACT in pursuit of making great gains in his/her ACT composite score and/or specific subject on the ACT.  

Our Team will strategically comb through every section of the ACT and teach strategies including time management and pacing. Students take practice tests (untimed and timed) and learn strategies and skills that will help them reach their ACT goals.
