My daughter is a rising junior in high school. Instead of taking one of those large SAT/ACT prep…read moreclasses, we decided to sign her up for one-on-one tutoring sessions on ACT with Huntington in Ridgewood, NJ. It was an individualized program which we like. To start, they gave her mock tests for both SAT and ACT. Based on mock test results, and an analysis of her skills, they decided she would have a better chance for a high score on ACT than SAT. My daughter was able to finish the ACT with a near perfect score after only 25 hours of tutoring. We are so happy with our decision. I would recommend the Ridgewood center to anyone who is looking for individualized SAT/ACT tutoring.

We highly recommend her and truly enjoyed working with her.
