The Right ACT Support Makes All the Difference
We received weekly updates about the progress in each session and the tailored goals for the next session. In the end, our son’s composite ACT score was 5 points higher than his PreACT test, with increases in the individual sections ranging from 2 to 9 points. We believe the coaching, the practice, and the overall test-taking skills gained from Educational Connections were instrumental to this improvement.

Corbin has now taken his ACT twice and improved four points from his spring practice test. Given where he started (with a solid score), I had low expectations about the amount of improvement we would see. Four points exceeded my expectations. To be sure, my son worked hard for this result, but it also wouldn't have been possible without the support of Educational Connections.

Educational Connections has been a great resource for my family over the last several years. One of my children received ACT tutoring which helped him to achieve his desired score. My other child has benefited from their subject tutoring and the college counseling. I recommend them to anyone who asks.

Very impressed with this 1 on 1 tutoring. My daughter started with a 24 and is now up to a 35 on the practice ACT. I am confident she will do well. She needed to learn a lot of math and grammar content/rules and her tutor was able to teach that to her in addition to testing strategies/timing -- filling in the gaps where school classes didn't cover well.
