Increase Scores With Sylvan’s ACT® Test Prep Course

If your teen’s ACT scores aren’t where they should be, your teen doesn’t perform well on tests or you simply want to impress college/university admission teams, sign up for our proven ACT Prep Course and get results!

Our ACT Prep tutoring will help your son or daughter manage the pressure, feel confident on test day and raise those crucial ACT scores.

By attending our ACT Prep Classes, your son or daughter will:

Master the skills to raise scores

Approximately 8 weeks — that’s the average amount of time our Prep Courses run. For many of our students, 8 weeks is all the time it takes to master the skills they need to raise their scores.

Feel confident and prepared on test day

Yes, your teen will learn effective test-taking strategies from our ACT tutors. But just as important, we’ll also help your teen master the academic skills that matter on test day. (And these skills can help in school too!)

Improve individual skill areas that need a boost

With Sylvan, your teen gets a structured lesson path. Plus, he or she will be able to take advantage of our core-ACT tutoring curriculum to target and improve the skills and subjects that need the most work. It’s so much more than practice on worksheets! See other ways Sylvan compares.

Learn in ways that improve skill mastery

Our ACT prep classes use a proven mix of face-to-face and online activities to get concepts to click. We use technology in new and smart ways, so your son or daughter can achieve the best results. Plus, our ACT practice tests get your teen ready for real-life test conditions.

And rest easy, our ACT prep is designed with a teenager’s crazy schedule in mind. We offer in-person and online courses during the afternoon, evening and on weekends, so your teen can prepare for the test no matter how busy he or she is.

Our proven mix includes teacher-led instruction (available in-center or via live, online sessions), independent practice, a robust website with resources, thousands of video tutorials and multiple ACT practice tests.

This comprehensive approach ensures that your teen learns strategies for tackling every type of exam question (including the essay portion of the ACT). Plus, he or she can focus on the specific skill areas that need improvement too.

With our ACT prep, your teen can take full advantage of:

  • A personalized online lesson path for extra instruction and practice to improve the skills that need the most help.
