“Luke helped my daughter with English, and I honestly couldn't be happier with how the lessons went. She is normally quite shy when speaking English because it isn't her mother tongue, but Luke got her so engaged. He is very energetic and his enthusiasm was contagious. I could actually hear her giggling in the background during their lessons! I know she has worked hard as well, but Luke really helped bring her out of her shell and made English feel enjoyable rather than something she was nervous about. Her confidence with speaking and expressing herself has improved so much. I’m very grateful for the work he has done with her.”

“We found Kenan for our son because we wanted him to practise his English more regularly. He is quite a shy boy and would usually become very quiet when he had to speak English. Kenan has been wonderful with him. They have lessons every Saturday, but it feels much more like a conversation than a formal English class. They talk about soccer and other things our son is interested in, and Kenan uses these conversations to get him speaking and practising naturally. The change in his confidence has been lovely to see. He now talks much more freely in English and actually looks forward to his Saturday lessons.”

What the test is, and how the lessons follow it.
The ACT is an admissions test. It is separate from the SAT, and it is not a school subject.
English, Math, and Reading make up the composite score, from 1 to 36. The composite is the average of those three scores, rounded to a whole number. Science is optional and is not part of the composite. Writing is also optional.
If you take Science, that score is reported on its own, from 1 to 36. A STEM score uses Math and Science from the same sitting. Lessons follow the sections you are actually taking.
We do not register you for an ACT test date. Tell us whether Science or Writing is part of your plan.

Feedback from our parents, school leaders, and students
Kenan has been teaching our son Mathematics and English and we couldn't be happier with him. Kenan has a very relaxed way with children but still keeps him focused and makes sure the work gets done. We've noticed that our son is much more confident with both subjects and doesn't…
KenanMathematics and English. Review by Edgar, ParentFour steps to match a tutor for the test you are sitting.
Share which test you are sitting, the score you need, and the date if you have one.

One-to-one online lessons. We prepare you for the test. We do not book it for you.

No group classes. Each lesson works on the score you need and the tasks in that test.

What we cover
The tasks we practise. This is not a school syllabus.
These three sections make the composite score, from 1 to 36. The composite is their average, rounded to a whole number.
Science is no longer part of the composite. If you take it, the score is reported separately. Some courses still ask for it, so check the institution.
Writing is a separate optional test. It is not part of the composite.
The digital SAT has Reading and Writing, and Math, scored from 400 to 1600 in total. We do not mix ACT and SAT practice in one plan.
And how working with a private online tutor can help your child avoid them
We plan English, Math, and Reading as the composite sections, and add Science only if you are taking it.
The section names and score scales differ. Lessons stay on the ACT.
If Writing is part of your plan, we practise it early enough to revise once.
Bring the published score requirement, and we plan around that number on the 1 to 36 scale.
Each section has its own timing and task types. Lessons stay section-specific.
Study strategy
Name the test, then practise that format. We do not use another exam's syllabus.
Before the first lesson
Tell us the exact test or course, the score you need, and the date if you have one. We do not book the test for you.
Before you book
The free Meet and Greet is a conversation. You decide whether the tutor knows the test you are sitting.
Through the preparation
Lessons work through the tasks for that test, at your pace.
As the sitting approaches
Closer to the sitting, lessons use the timing and task types of that test. We do not invent a test date.
Bring the score the college or programme has asked for.
Say whether you will sit the optional writing section.
Do not mix ACT practice with SAT papers.
Start while there is time to practise each part of the test. A short block of lessons can still help if the date is close, as long as we know which test you are sitting.
