Why Ivy Insiders ACT Prep?
Ivy Insiders ACT programs have raised thousands of students’ scores by over 4 points on average. Our ACT programs deliver unmatched results because we focus on the three factors that really drive results: superior instructors, outstanding curriculum, and rigorous measurement and tracking.
99th Percentile Instructors
Ivy Insiders ACT instructors are the world’s best ACT test-takers, holding average ACT scores in the 99th percentile nationwide. Each is hired from the country’s most selective academic institutions based not only on subject-area expertise, but also on his or her dynamic interpersonal skills and proven mentorship abilities.
We attract the planet’s most talented ACT teachers by paying them differently and treating them better than anywhere else. That starts with higher base pay and heavy bonuses based on student score improvements, But we don’t stop there. Over 90 percent of our instructors participate in ongoing training programs and profit-sharing plans to directly improve their effectiveness and align their incentives squarely with yours.
Superior Curriculum
Superior ACT score improvements don’t come from learning the broad content areas that standardized test-makers claim the test measures. These are the things that every high school student studies – and any test prep company can teach.
At Ivy Insiders, our ACT curriculum team has gone straight to the test itself, reverse-engineering every aspect of the ACT in order to identify the narrow concepts and specific strategies that consistently influence scores. By leveraging the predictability of the test to teach only targeted content areas and proven test-taking techniques, we deliver maximum score improvements – in minimum time and with minimum frustration.

As a company, we aggregate score improvement data from each of those programs, couple it with student and parent surveys, and then apply quantitative analysis to optimize our ACT curriculum, incentivize teaching excellence, and ensure that our score improvements remain unmatched.
