MasteryPrep partners with more than 3,000 schools and districts nationwide to deliver standards-aligned solutions that build student readiness for high-stakes assessments, including the ACT, SAT, WorkKeys, TSIA2, and state end-of-course exams. Through live instruction, curriculum, practice testing, and adaptive online learning, MasteryPrep equips educators with the tools, data, and strategies needed to support stronger outcomes and accountability goals throughout the school year.
MasteryPrep is an official strategic partner of ACT Education Corp. and serves as the Council for Opportunity in Education’s preferred provider of ACT® and SAT® preparation resources.
MasteryPrep Founder and CEO Craig Gehring earned perfect scores on both the ACT and SAT in high school. But when he began tutoring students, he quickly realized that those who often needed the most support were the least likely to have access to effective test preparation—and that traditional approaches weren’t designed with their needs in mind.
That insight became the foundation for MasteryPrep.
Today, MasteryPrep partners with schools and districts to deliver college and career readiness programs at no cost to families, combining software, curriculum, and live instruction designed to actively engage students. What began as pilot programs in just two high-poverty schools expanded to more than 100 school adoptions in the company’s first year—and hundreds more in the years since.
