MARTIN, Tenn. – A series of free online ACT prep workshops for high school juniors and seniors across Tennessee will be offered starting in January 2022 by the UT Martin Office of University Outreach.
The ACT Success Tactics Workshops will teach students time-saving and strategic tips that will help them while taking the test. The two-hour courses also aim to familiarize students with higher education. The two types of Success Tactics Workshops are Math and Science Reasoning and English and Reading. Visit www.utm.edu/actprep to see when these courses are offered.
The ACT Mastery Class Series is intended for students who previously completed the ACT Success Tactics Workshops and are seeking additional practice. Each Mastery Class consists of four two-hour class sessions, one for each section of the ACT. The Mastery Class includes new testing material and a practice exam. The times and dates for the Mastery Classes are at www.utm.edu/actprep.
The courses, which are sponsored by the Tennessee Department of Education, take place over Zoom, so students will need to have access to a computer with audio and video functions, as well as a secure internet connection.
UT Martin adjunct faculty member and author Alex Beene will teach the courses. Beene serves as a lead instructor for Tennessee Adult Education in three counties and works primarily with rising high school juniors and seniors needing academic help with standardized testing.
Beene will also offer office hours at 7-8 p.m. on selected weekdays and 2:30-3:30 p.m. on selected Saturdays for further skills improvement. Students can request an appointment or submit questions before the session to Beene at abeene@utm.edu.
