Welcome to Academic Approach! We are delighted that you will be working with us on your college test prep! It is our mission to raise students’ scores through our engaging, skills-based curriculum and positive coaching and mentoring. Our greatest successes always rely on a student’s hard work, so we like to set healthy expectations and guidelines from the beginning.
Students who complete an Academic Approach ACT class can achieve ACT score increases from 1- 4 points, with some of our hardest working students achieving increases of 5 or more points; those who complete an SAT course can achieve SAT score increases of 20-100 points, with some of our hardest working students seeing increases of over 100 points.
Students should attend every class and contact the instructor for missed material in the case of an absence
Students should participate fully in class by asking and answering questions, completing all practice work, and staying focused when using digital materials.
Students should complete all homework assignments carefully and thoughtfully
Our experience has shown that students who do not adhere to the above do risk results that may be disappointing. Our tutors and directing team will carefully monitor student progress throughout the class, and parents are always welcome to email or call our office to inquire about a student’s attendance record, ask for an electronic copy of a score report, or schedule a meeting to review a student’s progress.
We love working with students who have lofty goals for the highest scores! Our experience has shown that students who are striving to move a high score even higher are often better served by a targeted one-on-one tutoring program instead of a classroom course.
All students are welcome to supplement their work in the class with personalized one-on-one tutoring. If you are interested in tutoring before, during, or after the class, please fill the short form below to get in contact with a 1-on-1 program director.
