ACT Test Prep
Why utilize a premier college test preparation service? Because the difference between a 33 and a 32 could be the difference between a full ride, or paying tens of thousands of dollars for a college education.
Iowa Assessment Prep
The Iowa Assessments is a group-administered achievement test for grades K-12 which measures a student’s knowledge in subject areas like reading, language arts, mathematics, science and social studies.

“FinnPREP began when a student asked me to prepare her for the ACT test. After the first prep session, I realized I was effective at teaching and motivating her to a score increase. My passion to help others led me to create the FinnPREP Method. Using the strategies and discipline that were successful for me in college, I designed a curriculum which is engaging and effective for teenagers.”

Lynn is the founder and chief strategist at LAD. She approaches marketing and business communications differently than other marketers. Her first love was journalism, so she looks for details that set a brand, a product, or a leader apart, and she uses those details to create marketing hooks that reel in customers and motivate them to click, call, or seal the deal.
