Our Start
Passionate Teachers
ACE Test Prep originated from two high school teachers whose dynamic energy in the classroom drew students to seek additional help with content on the ACT. Although initially, Julie Brandel and Brett Currin both thought of standardized tests as the intimidating markers that shouldn’t show student performance, we realized that our mission fit our teaching philosophies much more than we originally thought. We care about students. We want them to succeed. We have to face the reality that these standardized tests are meaningful scores as they venture to the next steps beyond our classrooms, and we want to help them feel confident to reach their potential scores—just like we want them to excel and grow in our own classrooms.
Our Growth
Reaching Out
After working individually with students, the demand grew to host classes of students, and, well over a decade years later, we’ve taught thousands of students in a broadening landscaape of different schools. The enjoyment comes when we get word about acceptance into colleges they dreamed about or earn scholarships because of their score jumps. We realized we are limited in our time and ability to serve as many students as we would like, so our goal morphed into bringing highly-recommended, practicing teachers on board who believe in our mission to help students tackle the ACT, SAT, and HSPT. Our ACE team can bring the program we are so passionate about-- and that we know works-- to an even larger student population.
