Foundations gives your child the essential framework for mastering the ACT. In two in-home lessons, we cover strategy, time management, and the key habits that drive performance under pressure. Along the way, I target and repair three high-impact content skills and teach how to study efficiently using the best available resources. The Foundations plan is the precursor to the Core Plan, but it can be done completely independently.
If you choose not to continue into the Core Plan, your child will still leave with a ten-week study schedule, tailored homework, and a full testing plan. If you do continue, we build directly on this groundwork through a comprehensive five-week program focused on sustained score growth.
Before getting started, I meet with each parent for a quick, no-commitment 15-minute call to understand goals and outline next steps. Payment is not requested until sessions are scheduled.
