ACT and SAT Tutoring
Our test prep is proven and effective. Over the course of tutoring with us, students see an average ACT score increase of more than 5 points. As a result, our students report they are able to get into their top choice colleges!
We focus on four main areas, all fundamental to success on any standardized test:
- Academic skills
- Test strategies
- Timing strategies
- Test anxiety
When to get started with test prep is a very individual decision. The sooner a student takes a pre-test, the sooner we can create a customized plan. We strongly encourage students to take a pre-test as soon as May of their sophomore year.

Our Results:
On average, Nurturing Wisdom students improve more than 5 points on the ACT! However, this varies depending on the student's starting score:
These score increases are typical ONLY if students complete our program requirements:
- Consistent weekly tutoring, including one hour of homework per week
