PERSONALIZED ACT TUTORING

The ACT
is a game.
Learn to play.

Your ACT score doesn’t define how smart you are. The test has patterns you can learn and strategies you can practice. We’ll help you understand the concepts, recognize common question types, and make better use of your time.

THE PROGRAM

Find the patterns
Learn the concepts

The main focus of our sessions is learning how to “play the game” of standardized tests. We find patterns in the questions you miss and teach the concepts, strategies, and timing skills behind them. These test-taking skills can also help you on other multiple-choice exams.

INITIAL ASSESSMENT

Start with a
full-length practice test

Take a full-length practice test before tutoring begins. We review your results with you and your parent, set a goal score, and look for patterns in the questions you miss.

Hayden Alcorn
Founder & tutor

36/36 ACTBYU Heritage ScholarNational Merit Finalist

I’m Hayden, the founder of Alcorn ACT Tutoring and a BYU student. I teach the English and Reading sections.

I earned a perfect 36 on the ACT and have tutored at Huntington Learning Center as well as privately, both online and in person. I developed our eight-week program to teach students the patterns and strategies of the test, along with the concepts they need to understand.

We look for the reason behind a missed question so you can recognize and solve that type of problem the next time it comes up. Most sessions involve reviewing actual ACT questions. My coworker Austin teaches the Math section.

Who is this program for?

Students who want help preparing for the ACT and can make time for tutoring and homework each week. We use your practice test and goal score to decide what to work on.

How do the sessions work?

We meet over Zoom for two 90-minute sessions each week. Hayden teaches English and Reading, and Austin teaches Math. We’ll arrange session times with you before the program starts.

What if eight weeks feels too fast?

Ask Hayden about the 16-week option if you’d prefer to spread out your preparation. Contact him for current availability, scheduling, and pricing.

What study materials will I receive?

We provide the official ACT practice book and individual section breakdown documents. Before your first session, we’ll walk you through how to use them for your preparation.

How much homework should I expect?

Expect about an hour of homework between each session, or roughly two hours per week. Completing it before the next session helps us identify what to review. Diligent homework and focused participation during tutoring have a big effect on your progress.

Is a score increase guaranteed?

No. My students have improved by an average of 5.2 points during their eight-week programs, with past gains ranging from 2 to 10 points. Results vary, and completing homework consistently and staying focused during sessions make a big difference. Past results don’t guarantee a particular increase.

What happens if I need to reschedule?

Notify your tutor more than 24 hours before a session to arrange a make-up appointment. The program does not offer refunds. Please read the full policies for cancellation, lateness, payment, and recording details before enrolling.
