Book Your Free Consultation
Start with a free consultation. We learn your student's current ability level, target score, test date, schedule, and goals, then recommend the right path forward.
Your student is matched with an expert ACT tutor who uses practice-test results to identify the weaknesses with the biggest potential impact on their score.
After focused practice and tutoring, we reassess progress, identify the next highest-impact opportunities, and repeat the cycle until your student reaches their goal.
We use full-length practice tests to see exactly where points are being lost across all four sections.
Not every weakness matters equally. We focus first on the skills and question types most likely to move your student's score.
The ACT rewards speed and stamina. We train students to move quickly and accurately and to sustain focus to the last question.
We continually test, measure what's changed, and refocus on the next highest-impact opportunities.
Best for students with a shorter timeline or a few specific areas to improve.
Best for most students who want enough time to build skills, practice, reassess, and improve across the full test.
Best for students starting earlier who want the most thorough preparation and time for multiple improvement cycles.
Not sure how much prep your student needs? We'll recommend the right plan during your free consultation.

I've been a tutor at High Performance Tutoring for over five years now, and I feel very fortunate that I found an occupation that lets me …
View Profile →My daughter Hannah raised her ACT score from a 26 to a 33 after completing an intensive twelve-week training program with High Performance Tutoring. This score will open up so many doors for her!
I took their ACT prep course and they helped me raise my score from a 26 to a 33! They knew exactly what I needed to practice and my tutor was outstanding. When I saw my score I was nearly in tears. I'm confident the change will be the difference between acceptance and rejection at my top-choice college.
We've used High Performance for two years. Victor helped my son with Chemistry, his grade went from a D to a B+, and he ended up liking the class. They've also tutored him in Algebra and for the ACT. They genuinely enjoy working with the kids, and the kids enjoy working with them!
I've worked with Victor for over a year and I'm beyond satisfied with his expertise. He explains very thoroughly, and in a way that sticks! All A's on tests I study with him for. Highly recommended for subject tutoring and SAT/ACT prep.
David took the ACT and SAT each only once after his tutoring, and he was accepted to Harvard. We'd love your very best tutor for our youngest now.
We've been very impressed with the methodical, detailed tutoring by Ingo. He's been working with our son on his SAT and ACT prep. Extremely pleased so far!
My children have loved every tutor we have used from High Performance. The tutors have helped them excel in their studies in the classroom and helped them succeed on the AP, IB, ACT, and SAT exams!
Calling High Performance Tutoring was one of our best decisions after treading water with other options for our daughter's ACT. My daughter jumped 6 points on the ACT and felt great about her improvement. We'd highly recommend them for a motivated student eager to improve!
Gopi is an amazing tutor, my son's ACT score went up 6 points, from a 28 to a 34. Thank you!
A belated thank you to Liz for a semester of math tutoring. She essentially taught all of Algebra Honors II. My child received an A in the class and scored in the 99th percentile of the PSAT. We could not have done it without your kindness and teaching skills!
My daughter has had many tutors over the years, and Michael was by far her favorite. He was organized, made a plan, and executed it. He explained the hows and whys of each problem so well.
By far and away, Christian has been the best tutor. On my PDE exam I got a 91.4%. He conveys the concepts in a way I can understand and explain back myself.
“Is the ACT a better fit than the SAT for my child?”
For many students, yes, especially strong, fast readers who do well with the Science section. In your free consultation we can help you figure out which test plays to your child's strengths, then build a plan around it. Your first session is free too for new students.
