ACT TEST PREP

The ACT is a pivotal element of the college admissions process, widely recognized by colleges and universities nationwide. The ACT assesses students' abilities in English, Math, Reading, and Science, with an optional Writing section. Starting in April 2025, the ACT will undergo changes, including a shorter test duration and an optional Science section, offering students greater flexibility. Our ACT test prep tutoring is designed to help students excel, focusing on thorough content review, strategic practice, and effective test-taking techniques. Our goal is to maximize performance on test day, enhancing students' prospects in the competitive college application process.

Register for an ACT Mock Exam 

Help your student pinpoint the areas in most need of improvement by taking an ACT practice test. Students do not need to be enrolled in our program to take a practice test. The ACT mock test provides students with the opportunity to become familiar with the format of the test, practice pacing strategies, identify content areas/skills to work on, and most importantly, to learn from their mistakes! 

We are not currently offering proctored ACT exams at the Workshop. However, you may purchase a practice test to administer at home and send back to us for scoring.

TUTORING OPTIONS

Individual Sessions

Each weekly individual tutoring session runs for one hour and meets at the workshop. Let us know your child’s grade level, needs and interests, and we will pair him/her with the teacher who will provide the best support. 

Small Group Sessions

Often, students need support in similar areas and can benefit from small group work and collaboration to advance their skills. Students in a group tutoring session must be in the same grade and at similar levels in their studies in order for the work together to be productive. Parents may propose a group of 2–4 students, and/or we can help coordinate with other students before matching the best tutor to facilitate the weekly hour-long session.

Online Sessions

Location is no longer a barrier. No matter where you live, we can find the perfect tutor for your child. Once you’ve found that tutor, you can stick with them, wherever you are and wherever they are.
