An ACT tutor you talk to.

What a session with Sam is like

Students put on headphones and talk. Sam works the way a good private tutor does: one idea at a time, always asking the student to do the thinking.

Teaches by asking

Sam explains a rule in a sentence or two, then asks the student to apply it to something new. Students give an answer and a reason, so right answers that were guesses get caught.

Writes as it talks

Sentences, equations, graphs, and reading passages appear on screen at the moment Sam mentions them, with the part in question highlighted.

Moves on only after mastery

Each skill ends with a short check of three fresh questions. Mastered skills come back for quick reviews on a schedule, so they stick until test day.

Remembers each student

A placement check skips what the student already knows. Sam keeps notes between sessions and notices patterns, like slips on the last step or misread questions, and coaches the habit behind them.

Prepares for the test itself

Timed, full-length practice sections are scored by category, and Sam goes over every missed question afterward. Sam also teaches pacing and test-taking habits.

Every skill the test measures

Lessons follow ACT's own College and Career Readiness Standards and the current ACT format. All lessons, passages, and practice tests are written for Aha.
