Built for the enhanced ACT
ACT Math skills are organized around the test's reporting categories and English around its rule types, so practice matches how the test is actually scored.
Aristotle tracks Math and English separately and spends time where the points actually are, instead of drilling what your child already knows.
Working toward a specific composite or an application deadline? Aristotle builds the path backwards from test day.
Features
Talk things through, work side by side, and come back next time to a tutor who remembers where you left off.
Ask questions out loud, hear explanations in Aristotle’s voice, and interrupt whenever you need to.
Aristotle draws steps, diagrams, and images to help you learn visually.
Get practice problems tailored to the exact topics you’re struggling with.
From middle-school math to AP exams to SAT/ACT prep. We also build custom plans matched to state standards and specific courses.
Revisit session summaries, session whiteboards, and uploads in one place.
Aristotle can read and navigate any PDFs and images with the learner. That includes textbooks with hundreds of pages!
We break all subjects down into granular skills, then track mistakes and mastery on each one. Parents can see the whole picture at a glance.
Aristotle remembers every session: what you’ve covered, where you got stuck, how you like things explained. It picks up right where you left off.
