HOW IT WORKS
How ACT Prep Works
Free Consultation
We learn about your student’s schedule, goals, target schools, and how they learn best.
Diagnostic Test
Your student takes a portion of an official ACT. We analyze every section and every wrong answer.
Custom Plan
We build a tutoring plan around your student’s specific weaknesses — not a generic curriculum.
1-on-1 Tutoring
Sessions in your home or on Zoom, on your schedule, with a dedicated tutor who fits your student.
Ongoing Analysis
We track progress, adjust the plan, and tell you honestly when more sessions won’t help.
QUALIFICATION
Is the ACT Right for Your Student?
Not every student should take the ACT. And not every student who takes it needs a tutor. The first thing we do at MJ Prep is figure out whether the ACT is even the right test for your student, and whether tutoring makes sense at all.
After your free consultation, your student takes a diagnostic with official ACT material. We analyze it section-by-section, compare to a recent PSAT score where available, and recommend the right path forward. That might be an ACT tutoring plan. It might be the SAT instead. It might be self-prep. We’ll tell you the truth either way — our goal is the right outcome for your student, not more billable hours.
OUR TUTORS
Vetted, trained, and obsessed with the test
Every MJ Prep tutor takes a full-length ACT during hiring, clears background and reference checks, and finishes paid training before meeting a student. They’re rigorously vetted. But more than that, they know how to teach, adapt, and build confidence in students anxious about standardized testing.
MJ Prep founder Michael Jordan takes the ACT every year and has received nothing but perfect scores. The bar is high.

FAMILIES SAY
What ACT families say
★★★★★
Michael's expertise teaching kids how to take the ACT and SAT is truly unique. After a diagnostic, he assesses exactly how many sessions you'll need. My son raised his ACT by 7 points — and is now headed to Yale, Columbia, Harvard, and Brown for college visits.

★★★★★
From the first meeting with Michael we were impressed with his ability to simplify the entire process and really pinpoint where our son should focus. His tutor was a great match — my son looked forward to their tutoring session and was really pushed to reach his full potential.

★★★★★
We just got started with MJP and weren't exactly sure what to expect or how beneficial it would really be, but after the first visit, we were all very impressed with the instructor we were assigned. Alisha F. was knowledgeable, professional and personable. My daughter said she really, really liked Alisha and thought she helped tremendously. We can't wait to see how much her ACT score improves. What better investment can you make than in your child's future? Thank you, Michael Jordan Prep!

FAQ
ACT Prep Questions DFW Parents Ask
How much does in-home ACT tutoring cost in Dallas-Fort Worth?
Pricing varies based on package length and how often you meet. We give you a custom quote on the free consultation, after we understand your student's goals and target score.
How many sessions does my student need to see real ACT score gains?
Most students see meaningful gains in 6-8 sessions. The exact plan depends on starting score, target, and consistency between sessions. We build the plan after the diagnostic so you know what to expect.
Do you tutor in-home or online?
Both. Most DFW families choose in-home 1-on-1 sessions at their kitchen table or living room. Online via Zoom is available for families who prefer it or live further out.
What is a realistic ACT score improvement?
It depends entirely on the student: starting score, target, time before the test, and how consistently they practice between sessions. After the diagnostic we set evidence-based, student-specific goals — never generic promises.
When should my student start ACT prep?
We typically start 2-3 months before a student’s first official test. That gives enough runway to learn the test, build strategy, and run full-length practice sets without burning them out.
