Can I Study for the ACT by Myself?

We all either know someone or have been that someone who has gotten tutored for a really difficult Math class. Or English class.

The bottom line, though, is that tutoring is the smart thing to do for your future! So why would the ACT be any different?

Keep reading to learn about the benefits of studying for the ACT with a tutor!


  1. Personalized Tutoring

    Instead of taking practice test after practice test or watching youtube video after youtube video, an ACT tutor will provide you with personalized tutoring sessions catered specifically to your weak spots. They’ll teach you the quadratic formula and Reading test strategies that actually make sense to you! Every single student learns differently, and this is why one-on-one tutoring is essential to getting a higher ACT score. You get to be taught the most confusing concepts in a way that clicks with YOU.

    A common misconception about tutoring is that you only need it if you’re dumb. This could not be any further from the truth! Whether you are trying to score a 21 or a 31, personalized ACT tutoring is for you!

  2. Experienced Tutors

    Tutors are different from high school teachers or even ACT prep class teachers. For starters, they specialize in not just teaching students individually but also in finding the particular testing strategies that work for students individually. No student learns exactly the same as another. Tutors are adaptable to every student’s needs and are able to focus all of their attention on one person instead of thirty!

    Moreover, ACT tutors have a thorough understanding of not just the subject areas, but of the recurring questions and testing strategies that are required to actually improve test scores. Believe it or not, subject area knowledge is not enough to increase your score!! Having a tutor walk a student through the ins and outs of testing strategy will drastically change the outcome of their scores and even open up more scholarship opportunities.

  3. Additional ACT-Prep Material

    Our founder, Kristie Beck, has created a thorough foundation of ACT curriculum that is used as the basis for each tutoring session. Divided by subject area and topic, it has proven itself time and again to be extremely beneficial for our students. Think of it as filling in all the knowledge gaps from high school classes.

    Our tutors have nearly every past ACT test that we are able to provide for students in each study session at no charge and no limit. Tutors also create personalized study guides targeting only the ACT topic areas needing extra attention. Again, this goes back to our first point: tutoring sessions are personalized! There is no other way to get this level of individual teaching.

We believe that every student deserves the investment of a tutor.

We recommend beginning intensive ACT study as far out as ten weeks. Yep, ten weeks! No one becomes an expert overnight (or even over two weeks), and studying the ACT seriously means starting early.

We promise you.

It’s worth it!
