ABOUT THIS CLASS

The ACT English & Reading 1-Week Bootcamp is an intensive, strategy-packed course designed for high school students who want to attack two of the ACT's most skill-dependent sections with confidence and precision. Over four focused sessions, students master the grammar rules the ACT tests most — modifiers, subject-verb agreement, punctuation, and sentence structure — while building a repeatable system for tackling Reading passages under timed conditions. This isn't passive review; students practice active elimination techniques, learn to spot the "devil in the details" in tricky answer choices, and develop personalized annotation strategies that fit their reading style. Walk in with test anxiety, walk out with a game plan.
