Hello Mr Glenn! I improved my score (SAT) by 90 points! I originally wanted a score of 1100 but ended up scoring an 1150! So far I've been getting accepted to all of the universities I've applied to with my new score. I am also considered for more scholarships! I am truly thankful for you and Mr B for helping me out and breaking down the exam in the easiest way possible!

I came into ACT Prep Chicago seeking to get the support that I needed so that I can pass the ACT, and complete the education program with my university. As an adult learner, I thought I could do it alone, but I was completely wrong. I went into the test ill prepared and left out frustrated. I was determined not to end up with the same result. I learned how to approach this test and I treated my tutoring sessions as a class. I completed the homework, took practice exams from previous ACT tests, and worked on other supplementary materials provided by Mr. Glenn and ACT Prep Chicago. After a lot of hard work, and mastery of skills such as recognition of time, memorizing grammar rules, I achieved the result that I needed to complete my degree in special education. As a non-traditional student, it was difficult at first to revisit topics that I learned in high school, but Mr.Glenn taught me how to prepare for the test. He helped to raise my scores in Reading by 7 points, in Science by 3 points, and in Math by 2 points. My greatest gain was in English where I went up 9 points! Thank you Mr. Glenn for helping me to finally achieve the score I needed to complete my program your assistance and support was immeasurable. I would tell anyone looking to raise their score on the ACT to seek out tutoring from an expert like Mr. Glenn and ACT Prep Chicago.

"I liked how persistent Mrs Booker was when it came to homework and focusing on certain areas of improvement. A strategy she taught me that helped me was to read half of the reading passages at a time. It helped raise my score 5 points. Beofre this, I didn't take any ACT classes."

My daughter scored well on several practice ACT Exams, but we wanted to get her over the 30 Composite score mark. I found ACT Prep Chicago through an internet search for the best programs in Chicago. We decided on one-on-one tutoring with Jordan Williams and I couldn't be more pleased with the results! Jordan and my daughter worked very well together meeting once a week over about a 7 week period of time. Jordan was warm, welcoming, patient and very knowledgeable about the ACT and test taking strategies. My daughter's score improved 4 points. Her Composite Score on her last official ACT Exam was over 30! Thanks for all of your efforts, Jordan!

Hi Mr Glenn. We got the score today. We did it!!!! Thank you very much! FAMU is aware and sending new letter with FULL tuition. God is so good! Ms. McClendon has been invaluable. Marissa's overall success can in part be contributed to the weekly tutoring that she has received for the past 6+ years. Ms. McClendon has helped map out work, project plans, strategies for assignments and then provided guidance proactively for upcoming courses. She has also motivated Marissa in times of burn out. She has counseled Marissa when day to day situations arose that distracted her from her work. Again, her contribution has been invaluable.

While taking this course, I felt I was being taught at my own pace. I knew from the first class that the instructors were actually giving me what I needed to do better on my ACT. They gave me time saving strategies and helped me remember information from past classes. They also gave me new information that I found very helpful. The one-on-one tutoring was extremely helpful. I got to ask my own questions and go over material I found challenging. My one-on-one tutor, Ms Williams, was very patient. She not only wanted me to get a problem correct, but also wanted me to grasp the concepts. One of my instructors, Mr Glenn, was calm while teaching and encouraged us to look for different ways to find an answer. He didn't believe his way was the only way. My experience with ACT Prep Chicago Was excellent. I recommend ACT Prep Chicago to anyone who wants to get a higher ACT score.

I came to ACT prep Chicago a student with average study skills and average at best test taking skills. ACT prep Chicago is a facilitator of transformation. It gives every student the tools for success with the expectation that every student will accomplish his goal. Through the diligent efforts of Mr. Glenn and all the other dedicated staff, I was transformed into a better test taker and consequently a better student. ACT prep Chicago has test preparation to a science. The first step starts with a student being willing to be challenged. Somewhere in the middle, there is Mr. Glenn instilling a diligent work ethic in every student. The constant repetition of the function of each “Fanboy” seemed painful, but, like everything else, it served a purpose. The final step, sometimes distant, is reaching the goal or score you want. My favorite thing about Act Prep Chicago is how limitless the atmosphere is. After a student achieves the score they want, there is always the option to continue with test preparation to do even better. Because of the diligent work ethic instilled early on, I was able to meet and exceed my goals as a student and as a test taker. ACT Prep Chicago has unlocked doors for me in high school and will continue to open doors for the rest of my life.

You may not know that I had to drag Jarron (my son) kicking and screaming to your class. He swore up and down that he didn't need prep (for the ACT). You first impressed him by helping program the formulas into the calculator. Then, when he started improving under your instruction, he finally thanked me. Now he is passing on your training to his friends who are not happy with the prep offered by the school. So some parents may contact you before the June test. He says he feels ready, and this is the first time he has said that. I feel this is the best thing I could have done for him. He has taken 4 full practice tests.. The most recent one from school he improved 3 composite points, with this highest score in English.

Esther Sorrell

Mr. Glenn targets the area(s) that need improvement and focuses on strategies and content to improve those areas. I learned that in the English section, I would finish very early and felt that I was in a good place but Mr. Glenn asked me to go back and review them and once I did I saw that there were a number of mistakes made. He told me to pace myself during the test and when I did I made fewer errors and raised my English score by 7 points.

Marissa Weaver

I started tutoring with Mr. Glenn with 4 weeks before the June ACT test. I came in at least once a week and really enjoyed my tutoring sessions. I felt that the only way to increase my score would be through tutoring. Mr. Glenn was a phenomenal tutor, he pushed me every step of the way and his positive encouragement and sincerity made it possible to reach my goal. With about 6 tutoring sessions I was able to improve 5 points. I couldn't have done it without Mr. Glenn. Thank you for everything,

Tyler Pierce

Hi Mr Glenn. Monet improved her composite score by 4 points since you began working with her. Thank you :-) She's going to take again in June and start coming to your Sunday class.

Shericka Jackson

Hi Mr. Glenn. Alex went up 4 points on his 2nd practice ACT test! He said the help in science was key. He really respects you as an instructor. Even after the first class he felt like he was exactly where he is supposed to be. Thank you so much for your contribution!

Lisa Snider-Simmons

I entered this course head-on with no recommendations. I was pleasantly surprised by how young the instructors were. They were able to connect with me and teach me tricks and strategies I hadn't heard before. Mr. Glenn is also a "toughy", which I really liked. I also loved that there was weekly homework that kept me on track.

"My daughter improved her score from 17 to 22 after one 6 week course! She related well with the teacher, who is young and easy to relate to. "

Efia Goosby

"ACT Prep Chicago is excellent for providing a well crafted and strategic approach for students to score well on the ACT Test. Some of our students scores improved as much as 5 points after taking ACT Prep Chicago. The instructors are knowledgeable, patient and very thorough."

Lori James

"I was a little skeptical about the test preparation class initially. My son's pretest results were marginal. His post test results were fantastic! Mr. Glenn is patient and knowledgeable! His math skill and techniques are dynamic and cutting edge. He's great with students. He has a way of tailoring his techniques to reach each child. Way to go, Mr. Glenn!"

Tonya Haymon

"This Act prep course was just what I needed to boost my score to the next level. Mr. Glenn not only helped me on an academic level but he also connected with me on a personal level. I have learned from personal experience that you learn better from instructors who know you well and know your strengths and weaknesses. I could tell that Mr. Glenn wanted me to succeed just as much as I wanted myself to succeed and i thank him for the experience."

Adjua Goosby

"We were blessed to have found ACTPrep Chicago online . Their schedule of Sundays 2-5pm and Wednesday nights was perfect for us. The classrooms were nice and building secure . Mr Glenn is outstanding with teenagers as he cares and keeps them accountable, which our son dearly needed. I only wish we could have used their services earlier. Our son's score went up and now he has more options for college. Plus The cost is very reasonable. We will recommend them always. Thanks."

I got a 24 on my ACT my first time taking it. I would've gotten higher if I had managed to keep myself focused & not looking around on the reading portion. I received the following scores: English- 30 Math- 22 Science- 22 Reading- 21 In this class, you receive personal & group training. You also gain skills in both test-taking strategies AND knowledge over materials covered on the test to make your every answer all the more efficient and to make you more proficient. It is a fun environment and you can not only talk with the instructor, but brainstorming is ENCOURAGED throughout the group. Each student receives an ACT prep booklet as long as they purchase them before they run out. Along with in-session official ACT practice tests, students do take home assignments in order to preserve the skills learned in class. You WILL have ample time to do the homework. You can also have 1-on-1 tutoring with Mr Glenn before and after sessions. Regardless of what you knew beforehand, you WILL gain more skills.

Mr. Glen is amazing. His level of knowledge about the ACT test is out of this world. I would not go to anyone other than Mr. Glenn for ACT preparation. 

Kimberly Sambou

Hello Mr Glenn! I just wanted to let you know that I received my scores for April 2016 National Exam and I improved my score!! I officially passed the requirement for the school of education. Thank you so much for all your help and support!!! My success was attributed to attending your helpful and knowledgeable classes and reviewing the material from class several times.

Linda Harb

After taking your class and a few 1-on-1 tutoring sessions, my son felt more comfortable, and he told me he was able to use some of the techniques and information given. Hopefully, he'll do better than before. We felt your program was money well spent.......We finally received his results and I wanted to share the good news. He improved 3 points and based on this improvement was awarded a Presidential Scholarship to his college of choice. We are very happy!........As a parent, what initially drew me to your program was its affordability. My son had taken the ACT twice previously and received the same overall score both times. With a hand full of class sessions and a hand full of one on one tutoring sessions, my son's score increased 3 points. With his new ACT score, he was offered 2 academic full scholarships. We owe that to the ACT Prep Chicago program. I enthusiastically recommend your program to any parents looking for a thorough and affordable ACT preparation option. Thank you for getting my son over the hump.

Louis Flowers

I want to thank you and your staff for your professionalism, knowledge and support provided to my child as he participated in the ACT program this past summer. My son partook in 12 ACT sessions, where your staff definitely kept him motivated and attentive. The practice ACT tests were a great tool for the program as they provided an idea of what to expect on the actual test. As a result of the above, my son increased his overall score by 2 points, which is exactly what Mr. Glenn predicted. However, the greatest accomplishment was my son’s admittance to Northern Illinois University for the 2015-2016 school year. I’m most certain we wouldn’t have had much success relying on self-purchased reference materials or the high school resources. We couldn’t have done it without the help of ACT Prep Chicago. Thanks again!

"I like the class very much. It helped me alot in my weak subjects: reading and english. I felt like it helped me alot in these subjects and taking the practice test was very helpful. It helped me learn my times and my weaknesses and strengths. I am happy I did the class. It probabbly made a big difference on my score. Just taking the test i felt like i wouldnt have did so well in english or felt as confident as i did if i didn't do this class. The teachers there are nice and very helpful. Thanks to them, hopefully i have a nice score."
