ACT Tutoring Online Near You!
Are you an ambitious and high-achieving high-schooler (or the parent of one) who is thinking of taking the ACT?
Is your ACT score a poor reflection of your academic potential and standing in the way of attending your dream school?
Do you have limited study time per week to spend on an ACT course, given the intense demands of your school courseload, athletic schedule, volunteer commitments, & extra-curricular activities?
Get Your Best ACT Score in the Least Number of Coaching Sessions!
Then I’m the tutor for you.
My simple, 3-stage process will take you to your personal BEST score in the LEAST possible number of tutoring sessions:
STAGE 1: LOGIC
After establishing your baseline score, you will learn the foundational strategies for the ACT Reading and ACT Science sections that will empower you to navigate these sections efficiently & tackle the questions successfully. Think of this as learning the “logic” underlying these sections. In just 2 ONE hour lessons, you will have mastered the key to accuracy on BOTH of these sections!
STAGE 2: KNOWLEDGE
Next, we will diagnose your areas of weakness on the ACT English and ACT Math sections - those gaps in knowledge that are holding you back. In highly efficient & 100% personalized sessions, you will not only learn the concepts you need to fill the gaps in your knowledge but will also receive my proprietary, cue-based strategies to help you know exactly WHEN and HOW to apply the knowledge under exam conditions!
STAGE 3: PRACTICE
When all of your weaknesses are covered, train for the real ACT by taking full-length tests and reviewing them with me. Use what you are taught to correct your own mistakes. Reinforce everything you learn with customized homework assignments that will strike an optimal balance between providing not only targeted practice on your weakest areas, but also cumulative practice to ensure that you retain everything as time passes. Improve pacing & stamina until your target is reached!
How does my tutoring compare to that of other services?
I will teach you the same methods that I used to score in the 99th percentile on the real ACT & lead countless other students to improve by an average of 5 - 9 points!
Their Approach…
(Kaplan, Princeton Review, Magoosh, PrepScholar, etc)
Rarely, if ever, makes much of a dent when it comes to the all-important ACT Reading & ACT Science sections:
• students report their accuracy still wavers, even after 10+ hours of instruction on each section alone.
• students report their pacing is never enough to finish either section, even after 8+ weeks of practice.
Our Approach
Allows you to MASTER the ACT Reading & ACT Science sections with just ONE hour of instruction per section:
• Almost every student sees their accuracy climb to 80-100% by the end of the first lesson
• Almost every student sees their pacing improve to the point of finishing both sections within 3-4 weeks!
Their Approach…
(Kaplan, Princeton Review, Magoosh, PrepScholar, etc)
Tackles the ACT English & ACT Math sections by:
• taking an exhaustive, time-consuming approach to teaching ALL the Grammar and Math content.
• teaching in a “textbook” style that does not prepare students to recognize when and how to use the knowledge.
Our Approach
Tackles the ACT English & ACT Math sections by:
• tailoring your test prep to focus only on the content YOU need to focus on!
• teaching in a highly intuitive, “If you see X, do Y” way that translates quickly to better test performance!
Their Approach…
(Kaplan, Princeton Review, Magoosh, PrepScholar, etc)
Uses their own 3rd party books and practice tests, which are often not close enough to the content and difficulty of the real ACT, thus creating bad habits through poor feedback and inaccurate experience as well as raising false expectations via imprecise scoring.
Our Approach
Uses nothing but REAL, official ACT practice tests (with only very carefully screened excerpts from 3rd party materials) for the highest quality of practice and feedback as well as the most accurate scoring possible!
Their Approach…
(Kaplan, Princeton Review, Magoosh, PrepScholar, etc)
• Requires anywhere from 30 – 60 hours of instruction time alone (sometimes a LOT more), 3-4 hours a week, on top of the homework.
• Rarely achieves anything beyond a 2-4 point improvement to your composite ACT score.
Our Approach
• Can get you to your personal best score in as little as 6 – 12 hours of tutoring, just one hour per week!
• Produces an average improvement of 5 – 9 points to composite ACT scores!
Does all of this sound too good to be true?

“I had the pleasure of having Meeraj as my tutor for the ACT exams, and can not thank him enough for the help he provided. I always struggled with testing and my previous scores were not at all where I wanted them to be. Once I started working with Meeraj, the improvement that I saw was drastic. I ended up improving 12 points from my previous exam and it really was all thanks to the dedication and help he provided as a tutor. With this testing score, I was able to get into my dream college, Northeastern University. Thank you so much Meeraj for your help!!”
-Olivianne I
“Meeraj's tutoring service is exactly what my son needed! After about a month of lessons, he got a perfect score on his ACT, and he credited Meeraj's lessons as being instrumental to his success, saying that both the high-level methods for strategically handling each section and the really simple breakdown of even very advanced or obscure topics provided the finish he needed. That perfect 36 is going to go a long way in securing a seat at my son's top choice schools. Well worth it!!!”
-Jennifer
“My son ended up getting a perfect overall score of 36/36 on his ACT after taking six online lessons with Meeraj! When we first reached out to Meeraj for ACT tutoring, we specifically indicated that we needed a tutor who could improve his English/Reading/Essay scores while still maintaining his Math/Science scores. We were very pleased by Meeraj's ability to tutor all sections, and appreciated his flexibility in working with a sporadic schedule for tutoring. His is basically a one-stop service: not only do you get specific techniques and practical advice for every section, but you also receive ALL the necessary materials/practice tests as part of the service. Terrific results, very efficient, and well worth the investment.”
-Dereck
"I had Meeraj for ACT tutoring. Before I started, I was largely unmotivated for standardized testing. There were only a few weeks before my test date, and I had never touched a prep book or used a tutor before. My first diagnostic practice test, I scored a 31, struggling especially in science and reading. I had no idea how to write the ACT essay, either. My mom (mothers are always right!) had the ingenious idea of getting a tutor. At first, I was skeptical of online tutoring. But, after working with Meeraj, I learned extremely useful strategies that helped improve my score immensely. He also provided great resources--practice tests, sample workbook pages, and more! On my test date, I scored a perfect 36 and an 11/12 on the essay. That was an improvement of 5 points! And, I know I wouldn't have gotten there if it weren't for Meeraj's strategies and personable teaching style. If you're struggling, I don't think there's a better ACT tutor out there!"
-Malini
“We reached out to Meeraj to help my son get as close as he could to a perfect score. Sessions with Meeraj were really helpful and he provided strategies that helped my son to get a 35 on the ACT exam. We are really happy!”
-J
“I took ACT lessons from Meeraj over July and August and took the September ACT. My composite score was a 35: English 36, Mathematics 35, Reading 34, Science 36. I really cannot thank Meeraj enough for all his tips, strategies, and encouragement. With his advice and lots and lots of practice, I raised my composite ACT score from a 29 to a 35 in just shy of 2 months. In particular, my ACT Reading and Science sections grew from 24 to 34 and 26 to 36 respectively. I'm very grateful for all of his help!”
-Maggie
“Meeraj was a great tutor and helped a lot in improving my reading and science scores. He taught me specific skills of how to do reading passages and also taught me how to approach different types of science questions. I just took my first ACT as a Junior and got a 34, which I am very happy about. I only had 5 or 6 sessions with him but it definitely feels like the sessions we did had a direct effect on my score and brought my score up to where I wanted!”
-Cheong
“I usually don't write reviews, but I need to say it was a pleasure to work with Meeraj, he really is the best for ACT tutoring! He tutored me online, which was way easier and more effective than I thought it could be. I started with a score of 31, and after 11 one-hour sessions, I took the ACT and got a 34, which was my target score. I was even able to score a perfect 36 on the science section, which was a 29 before I had started tutoring. The testing strategies he teaches are extremely helpful and effective, and he explains everything in a way that is easy to understand. I totally recommend him if you are trying to see notable changes in your ACT score!”
-Katerina
My first ACT, I recieved a composite score of 30. I found Meeraj online and started prep'ing with him online the next week. After a total of 8 sessions and 14 hours, studying on all four test sections, my next composite score was 34. After a four-month break, I decided I wanted to take the test one more time, focusing only on math. I did three one-hour sessions & my third and final test had a math score of 35, and a raw composite score of 35. My superscored composite is now a 36. Meeraj is a fast teacher and is great at explaining intuitive strategies, complex topics, and giving advice on how to tackle test-taking and develop problem solving skills. His tutelage made all the difference in my score and my confidence in my abilities. I recommend him to every friend I have, and would happily return if I ever need to take another standardized test. :)

“Our son worked with Meeraj to prepare for the ACT exam. Meeraj provided targeted test-taking strategies and kept our son accountable to study for the exam amidst the busyness of schoolwork and extracurricular activities. Our son soon started scoring 34+ on his practice exams and scored in the 99th percentile on an official ACT exam within 10 sessions (1 hour/each). Our son was able to prepare efficiently for the test, and we are thrilled with the result!”
-Jane
"Excellent tutor! Also offered insight into which test is best. My son went from a 28 to a 34 after working with Meeraj for only a month or so. He even received a perfect score on reading which had started out as his lowest sub score. Highly recommend."
-Kim
“We highly recommend Meeraj for any tutoring needs of your child. Not only did our daughter exceed the goal score she set for her ACT test, she also learned invaluable study techniques which she will continue to appreciate through her college career. Meeraj is intelligent, patient, and kind. Due to his in-depth knowledge of the ACT test, he was especially helpful in providing our daughter with specific tips, tools, and shortcuts to boost her performance on testing day. While we recognize the diligent efforts put forth by our daughter, we attribute the rise of six points on her ACT score to Meeraj. We also thank Meeraj for the encouragement and confidence in our daughter's abilities.”
-Susan
“My mom searched through a lot of tutors before she finally found Meeraj to tutor me for the ACT and arranged times for us to meet. I met with Meeraj for for 6 hours of tutoring altogether. He has a really in-depth knowledge of the material, and I found his specialized techniques for every question type (math, grammar, even reading and science, which I used to think were unteachable in that way) really fast and easy to learn and use. My big weaknesses on the test were timing/pacing and Reading (and to a lesser extent, Science). Meeraj provided me with tons of practice tests (including some of the most recent exams), and recommended a lot of cool resources such as calculator programs for the Math and a special watch for the Reading and Science. I found that these tools helped immensely with timing and pacing during my practice tests AND on my actual test day. He also had some really useful tips for how to manage my time and approach the sections. On the tests I took for him, I scored 33's, 34's and 35's overall. His scoring was very accurate, because on the official test I scored a 34 Composite (34 English, 35 Math, 35 Reading, and 33 Science). I was especially thrilled with the Reading score, because as I mentioned, that (along with Science) was my weakest section. I now feel so confident taking the ACT, that I think I will take it once more to see if I can get an even higher score! I totally recommend Meeraj for anyone who needs a straightforward, economical, and focused approach to their ACT prep.”
