Absolutely! We strongly encourage participation and strive to create a welcoming, supportive class environment from the outset. All questions are private, so students can feel secure asking questions they might be too reluctant or self-conscious to pose in a traditional classroom setting.

We calculate score improvement data based on the difference between students’ starting scores (official exam scores that are shared with us) and students’ end scores (official exam scores after students complete our program). We segment score improvement data based on starting score range, because students who start at, say, a 33 on the ACT can only improve up to three points, while students whose starting scores are in the low 20s can have much more dramatic improvements.

Students whose starting scores range from 20 to 23, inclusive, improve an average of 6 points.

Students whose starting scores range from 24 to 27, inclusive, improve an average of 4 points.

Students whose starting scores range from 28 to 31, inclusive, improve an average of 3 points.

And students whose starting scores range from 32 to 34, inclusive, improve an average of 2 points.

We do not recommend our course for students who have already achieved a composite score of 35. If you have a composite score of 35 but are looking to increase your score in one or two test categories (ACT Science, for example), we recommend that you pursue 1-on-1 tutoring lessons that focus on the specific exam sections for which you are seeking a higher score.

Absolutely! We strongly encourage participation and create a welcoming, supportive class environment from the outset. Students simply type their questions and send them to us via a chat box. All questions are private, so students can feel secure asking anything they would like without having to feel in any way self-conscious.

We cover every section the ACT—English, Math, Reading, and Science—from strategies for tackling yawn-inducing Reading passages to shortcuts for math questions that stump the majority of test takers. 

We’re not a mill with hundreds of instructors of varying abilities and track records. We don’t charge a premium for gifted, experienced instructors because all of our instructors are subject matter experts with an abiding passion for teaching. The vast majority of our instructors have graduated from the sort of colleges people proudly post on the rear window of their cars: Princeton, Yale, Dartmouth, Stanford, Columbia, MIT—and many more. However—and this is a really important however—we don’t view sterling academic credentials as equivalent to teaching ability. We interview and decline to hire plenty of brilliant people who can’t seem to explain even the simplest of concepts. Therefore, the number one trait we seek in instructors is the ability to teach: that unique combination of communication skills, emotional intelligence, and empathy that separates mere tutors from teachers who inspire students to fulfill their potential.
