Our learning-disability tutoring

What costs points on the ACT, and how we fix it

ACT points are usually lost to the clock and to unfamiliar formats, both fixable.

Pacing: the ACT's defining challenge

What it looks like: Your student knows the material but cannot finish sections. Reading has always been the crunch, four passages against the clock, and rushing the last passage costs a predictable cluster of points.

How our tutors help: Tutors build passage-order strategy, per-passage time budgets, and the skill of letting one question go. The redesign adds breathing room per question, and we retrain pacing to exploit it instead of racing old habits.

English section: grammar by ear runs out

What it looks like: Students who write well still miss comma splices, misplaced modifiers, and redundancy questions because they answer by what sounds right instead of by rule.

How our tutors help: We teach the finite rule set the ACT actually tests, roughly a dozen grammar and rhetoric patterns, until recognition is automatic. It is the fastest score movement on the whole test.

The science section decision

What it looks like: Science is becoming optional on the redesigned ACT, and families are unsure whether to take it. Meanwhile the section itself was never really science: it is speed-reading charts under extreme time pressure.

How our tutors help: Your tutor helps you decide based on target colleges and your student's data-reading speed, then trains the section if you keep it: find the variable, trace the trend, ignore the jargon. Most students improve fast once they stop reading every word.

Math: geometry and trig from freshman year

What it looks like: ACT math reaches back to content juniors have not touched in two years, circle theorems, trig ratios, logarithms, and there is no formula sheet provided.

How our tutors help: We audit the backlist topics against your student's diagnostic, rebuild the rusty ones, and drill the formulas the ACT expects from memory. Targeted review beats re-teaching all of high school math.
