Join the Kelly MacLean Achievement Center for our ACT Masterclass. With over 18 hours of ACT Prep content, your child will be on the path to improve their score. We will take an in depth look at all sections of the ACT, breaking down the rules, tips, and tricks that the ACT uses on each test.
- Learn the rules for the English section of the test. With these rules, we have had students increase their English scores by 11-12 points.
- Learn how to break down Math word problems like the pros. We know how to get you to understand just what the question is asking for, and improve your overall understanding of math.
- Learn how to stay focused during the Reading section. We know that this can be a difficult challenge when the passages on the test are dry and uninteresting. We'll help you learn how to pick out the valuable information and manage your time efficiently so you can beat the clock.
- Learn how to tackle the Science section with nothing beyond your 8th or 9th grade Physical Science class. If you can put together a puzzle, we can show you how easy it is to manage the science section.

The ACT Masterclass includes:
- 12 One-on-One ACT Prep Sessions with one of KMAC's expert tutors. Your child can focus on the areas where THEY need help.
- 6 Hours of Group ACT Prep Sessions hosted by Kelly MacLean. The group environment can help students see different thought processes and different approaches to ACT test questions.
- 5 Recorded Homework Sessions for extra practice before the test. We provide the tests and the answers— you just put in the time!

I came to Kelly with a score of 28 and raised my score to 34. I came as a sophomore and it really eased my life during junior year as I was able to focus on college visits and my classes. I highly recommend Kelly and her staff.
Kate D., Class of ‘20
Kelly and her team helped me raise my score 6 points. They taught me the strategies and helped me master them. I hit my goal of 30. I could not have done It without them.
Nate K., Class of '21
I did tutoring specifically for the ACT, with the goal of raising my score for college applications. My experience was phenomenal. With only 4-5 sessions over the course of a few weeks I was able to achieve my target score of a 35. The tutors did an amazing job of simplifying the test and giving incredibly helpful test taking tips that I credit my success to. As of December I will be attending Vanderbilt University in the 2021 school year and I cannot thank the staff at Kelly MacLean Achievement Center enough!
Lauren S., Class of '21
All I can say about Kelly and her staff in one word is AMAZING. My son went there for Test prep and he immediately saw a difference from other test prep we have gone to. He was excited about going to the sessions and in return his performance went up. He said it best by saying, they explain tough subjects in a way I could understand. I would highly recommend Kelly MacLean and her staff!!!!

Words can not express how much Kelly has helped me and guided me through the college application process. Whether it be standardized test prep or formulating close to perfect supplemental essays, I have Kelly to thank for all my success in the rigorous college application process.

Nate K., Class of '21
Kelly has worked with both of my boys and is a lifesaver. I knew I could count on her and her staff to get them prepared and make their college choices a reality.
Lisa S., Parent of Class of ‘18 and Class of ‘20
The best achievement center ever !! Very helpful and thoughtful people. It feels like a family when you walk into the office because of how much they take pride in what they are doing! I would give it a 10 stars if it was available!!
Kevin M., Class of '21
I didn’t think I could ever jump 7 points, but Kelly and her team helped me go from an 18 to 25. I cried when I got my results.
Maddie F., Class of '20
When I was being recruited by UNC to play basketball, I thought I was good— I had good grades, and figured my ACT score didn’t really matter. After I signed, I got a message from the coach that I had to increase my ACT score by two points. I called Kelly at the Kelly MacLean Achievement Center and spent three hours with her using FaceTime. She taught me the strategies I needed and my score went up by 3 points! I could not have raised my score without KMAC, and tell everyone to call them before taking the ACT or any big tests.
Sterling M., Class of '17
I want to say THANK YOU so much for all that you did for Madeline!!! When she sent me her ACT score today I almost cried. You not only have opened a whole new avenue of opportunities for her future, but more importantly you have given her an immeasurable boost to her self confidence and esteem!!! To say we are so grateful is an understatement. You do amazing work.
