How Do We Help You?

During the summer we run half-day courses that meet daily in two-week sessions, either in-person or online.

During the school year we run evening courses at McLean High School and Chantilly High School.

Throughout the course, we’ll help you identify your specific review goals and design an individual study plan.

Your study plan will integrate our live content review, our interactive prob- lem discussions, practice problems and tests, and key online resources. Course content will cover all sections of the ACT including the optional Science and Writing sections.

English, Reading, and Writing prep focus on grammar, style, vocabulary, and reading comprehension. Math section prep includes concepts from Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2. Science prep covers experimental design, and interpreting and making inferences from experimental data.

As you execute your study plan, your score will improve.

On test day, you’ll be ready for the ACT and earn your best score.

Will this be true if instead you watch a screen or teach yourself from a book?
