ACT improvement plus life skills
Alex Leopold helped my son Max improve his ACT score from 18 to 25 over 10 months while developing life skills that completely transformed his approach to academics and personal responsibility. Max was accepted to 8 universities including University of Missouri, University of Kansas with a $48,000 scholarship, Washington State University, University of Utah, Colorado State University, James Madison University, University of Alabama, and Oregon State University. What started as ACT test preparation became comprehensive mentorship that has made a lasting impact on Max's life.
Alex's comprehensive approach to online tutoring, blending rigorous academic coaching with life skills mentoring, has been transformative for students with ADHD like Max. Under Alex's guidance, Max achieved his final ACT score of 25, but the impact extends well beyond test scores. Max developed a robust system for managing his time and responsibilities, incorporating strategies for balancing homework, exercise, social activities, and self-care. These habits have instilled in him a discipline and responsibility that will serve him throughout college and beyond.
The most remarkable aspect of Alex's ACT tutoring is his personalized approach for students with learning differences. He recognized Max's unique strengths and challenges as a student with ADHD, tailoring his teaching methods and allowing breaks during sessions to suit Max's learning style perfectly. This customized strategy not only boosted Max's academic performance but also his self-esteem, as he saw tangible results from his efforts.
Alex's commitment to his students' success is evident in everything he does, from his meticulous session summaries to his proactive communication with both students and parents. What truly sets Alex apart from other ACT tutors is his genuine care and investment in his students' overall well-being. He encouraged Max to set and achieve personal goals, such as maintaining a healthy sleep schedule and seeking additional help from teachers, fostering independence and self-advocacy.
Alex's encouragement didn't stop at ACT score improvements; he was a constant source of support, helping Max navigate the challenges of teenage life with empathy and understanding. Alex is more than just an ACT prep tutor; he is a mentor, coach, and advocate for his students.
Our decision to continue working with Alex throughout Max's junior year is a testament to the immense benefit his tutoring has brought to Max's life. His holistic approach, combining academic excellence with life skills coaching, has made a lasting impact. The investment in Alex's services has been well worth the cost, providing unmatched value in terms of both ACT score improvement and personal development.
For any parent seeking a dedicated, passionate, and highly effective ACT tutor who delivers not just test score improvements but a transformative educational experience for students with ADHD or learning differences, I wholeheartedly recommend Alex Leopold and Learning Company.
