Students

Griffith Tutoring accepts students who have the desire to attend and ability to succeed in college but lack a sufficient ACT score and cannot afford the private tutoring necessary to reach their potential.

An application process is used to identify students who fit this profile. Griffith Tutoring typically enrolls students who project to score a 15 to 18 on the ACT with our goal to get these students scoring in the 20s.

The program is open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors, and students are encouraged to enroll in the program twice a year until they graduate.

Student Perspectives

"Griffith Tutoring has helped me a lot because I can ask questions and get feedback specific to my needs"
Omari R., DuSable High School

"I like that it was one-on-one. It wasn't a classroom setting. The focus was on me and one other person."
Charles M., Hales Franciscan

School Perspectives

Students understand the ACT Tutoring is a privilege that comes to many with a huge price tag. The fact that Griffith Tutoring is able to offer this service for free to youth is great. The academic help is very valuable as well as the student exposure to good healthy adults.

The major benefit of Griffith has been that the students are getting one-on-one assistance. They grow in confidence because they have a personal ACT coach who is helping them demystify the test. The tutors’ level of enthusiasm inspires our students to be more invested.
