ACT score 18 to 25
Working with Alex Leopold over 10 months completely transformed my academic future. I started with an 18 on my first ACT practice test and improved to a 25 on the official ACT exam - a 7-point improvement that opened doors I never thought possible. This score improvement helped me get accepted to University of Missouri, Washington State University, University of Utah, Colorado State University, James Madison University, University of Kansas, University of Alabama, and Oregon State University, with a $48,000 scholarship offer from University of Kansas.
What makes Alex different from other ACT tutors is his understanding of how students with ADHD learn best. As someone with ADHD, I struggled with traditional tutoring approaches, but Alex's online format actually worked better for me. He pays incredible attention to detail and knows exactly when I'm starting to zone out during sessions. Instead of pushing through, he lets me take breaks when I need them, which helped me stay focused and get the most out of every session. This adaptability made all the difference in my learning.
Alex's teaching goes way beyond just ACT prep. Throughout our time working together, he helped me improve my grades at school and develop better time management skills - areas where I really needed support. His approach is personal and thorough, and he genuinely cares about each student's success. The online tutoring format provided more resources than I expected, and Alex's teaching style made it feel natural and effective.
The impact of working with Alex has been life-changing. I went from thinking community college was my only option to having real choices for my future. I'm now heading to University of Missouri in fall 2025, and I know I'm prepared for success because of the study skills and confidence Alex helped me build. For any student, especially those with ADHD, Alex provides the support and understanding you need to reach your potential.
If I could give Alex a rating, it would be 10/10. He's not just an ACT tutor - he's a teacher who changes lives.
