Small-Group Coaching
Two focused coaching cycles timed to ACL testing windows. Max 8 students per group. Live sessions built around timed drills, writing practice, and adaptive instruction based on how your cohort performs.
Each cycle is a focused sprint designed around a specific testing window. Study guides prepare you during the week; live sessions are for active practice.
For 8th graders. Ends October 3, ahead of the November 12, 2026 admission test
6 weeks · Saturdays, Aug. 29 – Oct. 3
For 10th and 11th graders targeting the January 23, 2027 Advanced AET test
4 weeks · Late November – mid-January
Both cycles include full access to all 35 study guides. Students work through the guides during the week and come to live sessions ready to practice.
This is not a lecture series. Live coaching time is spent entirely on application: drills, writing practice, peer review, and targeted work on your cohort's weakest areas.
10-minute timed writing exercises that simulate real assessment conditions. Build speed and confidence under pressure.
Dissect the hardest logical fallacies and reasoning patterns that appear on the STEM assessment. Work through the tricky ones together.
Review thesis statements and writing responses in real-time with your peers. Learn from each other's strengths and improve faster.
Submit one essay per week and get detailed, personalized feedback. Consistent practice with expert guidance.
If the whole cohort is struggling with Spatial Relational Thinking, the next session pivots to focus on that weakness. Your curriculum adapts in real time.
Every session is recorded and posted on the course site. Miss a session? Watch the recording and reach out to your instructor with questions.
Study guides deliver the content. Live sessions are for doing the work.
Complete the assigned guides and practice sets on your own schedule before the live session.
Write a practice essay and submit it for review. You'll get detailed feedback within the week.
Join your small group on Zoom for timed drills, peer review, and focused practice on the areas that need the most work.
Apply your essay feedback and session takeaways to the next week's practice. Build momentum as the test approaches.
The Fall Cycle is a 6-week sprint for 8th graders that runs on Saturdays from August 29 to October 3, ending ahead of the November 12, 2026 ACL admission test. The Winter Cycle is a 4-week sprint starting in late November, targeting the January 23, 2027 Advanced AET test for 10th and 11th graders.
Maximum 8 students per group. This ensures every student gets enough time for personalized feedback, can participate in peer review, and has their questions answered during live sessions.
Live sessions are entirely focused on active practice: 10-minute timed writing drills, working through the hardest logical fallacies, live peer-reviews of thesis statements, and targeted work on whatever areas the cohort is finding most challenging.
Yes. Students submit one essay per week and receive detailed written feedback. This consistent practice-and-feedback loop is one of the most valuable parts of the program.
We track how the cohort performs on practice drills. If everyone is struggling with a specific area (like Spatial Relational Thinking questions), the next live session pivots to focus heavily on that weakness. The curriculum responds to what you actually need.
All sessions are recorded and posted on the course site. Watch the recording and reach out to your instructor with any questions.
The Fall Cycle (6 weeks) is $1,495 and the Winter Cycle (4 weeks) is $1,195. Both include all 35 study guides, weekly live sessions, weekly essay feedback, and all course materials.
Absolutely. Many families start with the ACL Prep Flex in 7th grade to build a foundation, then enroll in a coaching cycle in 8th grade for the final push before testing.
