Tips, Tricks, Techniques
Leo is an outstanding ACT tutor. Our child was struggling with the Math and Science sections of the ACT. After going nowhere with her first tutor, we connected with Leo. He was able to keep our child engaged and interested. He also quickly and effectively identified and targeted her areas of weakness. After a few sessions with Leo, she had a huge improvement in her Math and Science scores, from the mid 20's to 35 for Math and 33 for Science in her recent ACT! Most importantly, our child enjoys and actually looks forward to her tutoring sessions with Leo.
