TorchPrep IS ONE OF 75 FAMILY AND PRIVATE BUSINESSES TO BE RECOGNIZED AS BEST IN CLASS
TorchPrep is a Semi-Finalist for the 20th Annual Goering Center Family & Private Business Awards.
TorchPrep launched 10 years ago with one goal in mind... CHANGE THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF LEARNERS. We chose to go after the one test that causes the most stress for high school students, the ACT. From working with entire School Districts like CPS to a small school like Silver Grove we have never faltered. This isn't to say it has been easy by any means. We started with just two guys training a young man named Dakota (who eventually worked at TorchPrep). Today we have 10 full time employees and plan to train 10,000 students in the 2019-2020 school year alone. Work Hard, Rest Hard is our motto for a reason. The second TorchPrep steps foot in a school everything else disappears and we get to do what we do best, help students beat the test! Whether you are in the high 30's looking for a scholarship or just trying to be the first person in your family to go to college, TorchPrep will get you there. Don't believe us? Ask one of the 30,000 we have trained over the past 10 years, or you could check out the stories below.
"Thank you TorchPrep! My daughter's score went up 4 points! That is HUGE! Money in the bank for scholarship opportunities (as much as $8,000 more dollars). Your course is worth every penny!"
-Linda, Highlands Parent
"I came into your course having taken the ACT once with a 24. After your course, I achieved a 28. With that score of a 28, I became a Kentucky Governor's Scholar. I then took the ACT for a total of 9 times to finally reach a 31. I received a full-ride (plus funds) research scholarship to the University of Louisville where I am now studying chemical engineering. My goal is to work for Nike and chemically engineer the materials that make up their products."
- Brandon, Dixie High School Student
"I had zero confidence in my score but TorchPrep changed that!"
- Isabella, Summit Country Day Student
"Thank you for believing in me and for all the advice and practice that helped me to be confident and to perform well on the ACT! I’d highly recommend the classes for anyone who wants to increase their score!"
- Lindsay, Fairfield High School Student
It is an HONOR to be considered for the Goering Center Family & Private Business Award, but those stories. . . Stories of students believing in themselves, getting scholarships, and going to their dream school. That's why we jump out of bed ready to go everyday. Students matter.
As a semi-finalist, TorchPrep will be further evaluated by an independent panel of judges who will be considering the legacy, leadership and culture development that distinguishes TorchPrep from other Greater Cincinnati regional businesses.
The 2019 Goering Center Family & Private Business Award winners will be announced at the awards gala this fall at the JACK Cincinnati Casino on September 10, 2019.
