When I was first trying to find an ACT tutor, I was very close minded about the potential results. Though, after just one session with Richard, my mind was blown. He analyzed every mistake I made and constantly encouraged me to "aim for that perfect score."
​
Each time I took a practice test employing his techniques, my scores raised. And, when I took the ACT for a second time after seeing Richard, I got the score that I wanted which was 4 points higher than my original score!
