Boost your act score

Personalized in-home ACT prep from a local Kansas City kid.
80% of students increase their composite score by 3+ points.
Avoid the big-box franchises and get the customized prep your student deserves.

Inspired By Opportunity

“Very few students understand the full impact their ACT scores have on their future opportunities and rewards. For Kansas City students looking to attend KU or KSU, a difference of a couple points could be thousands of scholarship dollars. A couple of points may only be a couple more questions correct. Do your future self a favor and take the ACT seriously.”

"We are thrilled with the experience we had with Alex at Pathway Prep from start to finish. Alex was very professional, well-prepared, and easy to work with. He encouraged and challenged our daughter through the entire process. We are VERY pleased with her results and in just 9 sessions her score jumped dramatically. We are recommending Alex to everyone looking to improve their ACT score. The small investment we made in these prep classes is returning huge in scholarship funds."

"After months of training and studying, I found myself taking the ACT for the second time and remembering Alex telling me to 'just focus on those 45 questions'. When I first met with Alex, he told me that he could see me jumping up 4-5 points and I thought he was crazy. But Alex knew my weaknesses and strengths, and he taught me how to get around the hard problems. I would recommend anyone looking to raise their score to get in touch and start studying with him because he’s amazing!"

"One of the best things our daughter said about her ACT prep journey was that Alex not only very well prepared her for the ACT exam, but also made her a best test taker in general. She stated that he actually boosted her self-confidence and her testing skills (at school).

Alex is the consummate professional who exceeds expectations; a teacher's teacher. You may have a moment of "why would we hire a tutor for a test?" but let me tell you, the results speak for themselves and I know for a fact my daughter's confidence in herself and her overall test taking abilities have improved so much. We are really grateful to have found Alex---he delivers & does not disappoint!"

The first step in improving academic performance is understanding what mistakes are currently being made. It's impossible to improve if you don't know what you need to fix.

Learn from my experience

When you hire Pathway Prep, you are hiring me: Alex Pint.

I personally coach over 100 students in ACT prep each year.
I spend between 1200-1500 hours with those students each year.

I don’t hire other tutors, so your student will work with only me and will be the direct beneficiary of these tens of thousands of hours of experience.

So if it’s just me, how do I know my process works? Because I track it.

~80% of my students see a 3 point improvement or above.
The average improvement hovers around 3.7 points.

And if it’s just me, how do I stay updated on current trends or learn from peer feedback? I collaborate with others.

I am a member of the National Test Prep Association (NTPA), which is a group of 200+ test prep professionals across the country.
I spend 5-10 hours every week learning from this group in roundtables, summits, and smaller meetings. We cover new strategies, resources, and trends in testing.
I attend at least 1 in-person NTPA conference each year to further enhance my learning.

I live and breathe test prep and I’d love to work with you.
