What do students, parents, instructors say about ACT UP?
“The instructors with ACT UP helped my student-athletes and my own children with ACT Prep testing strategies.“

“Because they make the kids prep every day and take multiple tests, the kids end up getting scores that allow them to go to the colleges of their choice – not just schools they could get into. These folks have helped a lot of kids in the city of Memphis.“
“Patricia Ange is not only a gifted educator of young minds, she is also a talented and effective educator of educators. She has been in this field for 14+ years and has learned both small-scale strategies for specific subjects and broader principles that apply to the entire ACT.
Her mantra is that with consistent prep and multiple testing opportunities, students’ scores WILL increase. Through her training and guidance, my instruction to my students improved drastically—students who had previously scored in the mid-teens were improving to the mid-twenties within the span of a year!”
“These students previously would not have been eligible for college; now, they will be attending college, all thanks to Patricia Ange’s proven methods.”

“The first time my son, Zavien took the ACT was during his freshman year in high school. He scored a composite score of 16. We wanted a better score, so we sought out tutoring services from a member of the ACT UP team.
After one month of tutoring sessions, Zavien took the ACT a second time and scored a 19. Tutoring sessions continued for another month in hopes of further improving Zavien’s ACT scores.”
“The tutoring paid off. Zavien scored a 23 on the ACT his senior year in high school.“
–Tracy & Walter Wolfe
Parents of Zavien Wolfe
“We are so thankful for the instruction, the patience, the compassion, the determination and the dedication this member of ACT UP provided in order to help my son succeed. We are proud to say Zavien received a full scholarship to attend the University of Georgia. We encourage you to reach out to the members of ACT UP for ACT tutoring; you won’t be disappointed!“
“The instructors with ACT UP helped prepare me to get into college. They helped me turn my first score of a 14 into a 19.
The instructors were the only teachers at that time that cared and knew that without a good ACT score, college wasn’t going to be an option for me. That ACT score allowed me the opportunity to receive my first Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration with a minor in Entrepreneurship in 2020, and I’m currently working towards my BSN with an expected graduation date of December 2024.“
“In short, the instructors with

“All the techniques taught are useful in helping you learn the test, and knowing how to test on the ACT. It also helped that my school allowed us to take the test as much as we could, which helped me learn how to manage my time on the test.“
