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.
Here is what some people have said about Griffith Tutoring
"Griffith Tutoring not only enables our students to gain an appreciation for education, focus, and the hard work necessary to excel at the college level, but the program also provides our students with a look at what it takes to excel after college as well. The young professionals who tutor are great role models and mentors to the students."
Brian Murphy - Head Basketball Coach Lincoln Park High School
"Students understand the ACT Tutorig 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."
Easter Young - College and Career Student Advocate, Umoja Student Development Corporation at Manley Career Academy
"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."
