Summer SAT/ACT Prep Packages

SAT & ACT Summer Prep at Pierce Institute

Focused. Flexible. Results-Driven.

Whether your student is aiming for the August 23 SAT, September 13 SAT, or July 11 ACT, summer is one of the best opportunities to improve scores without the stress of school-year overload.

At Pierce Institute, we offer personalized SAT/ACT prep designed around your student’s actual needs — not crowded lecture classes, generic worksheets, or expensive “one-size-fits-all” programs.

 

Students can focus on:

• SAT Math

• SAT Reading & Writing

• ACT English

• ACT Math

• Test strategy and timing

• Weak-skill targeting

• Confidence and pacing

All sessions are available in person or virtual, and every package is customized. Some students need a quick refresh before test day. Others need accountability, guided practice, and consistent support over the summer. We offer both.

Terms

Hours must be used by September 12th and are not convertible to other types of tutoring hours or sharable among siblings/friends. Sessions can be rescheduled but not refunded -- fees will not be prorated if a student decides not to complete the hours in the package, but a student can get 3 hours deep before paying for a complete package (would pay at hourly rate until the package is purchased, then any previously completed hours become part of the package deal).
