Jason Franklin has been teaching ACT Prep sessions since 1995.  No teacher in Illinois spends more time preparing students for the ACT. He is the most popular ACT Prep instructor in the country as he typically teaches 10 - 13 ACT Prep classes a week, year round.  He has worked with over 6,000 students from over 150 different high schools.  The average improvement is approximately 4 points - no instructor can match that.

Over the years he has helped many students overcome test anxiety.

He was a public school teacher for ten years with the last seven being at Champaign Centennial High School.  During his tenure, he received the ICTM Recognition Award for outstanding teaching in the classroom as well as being nominated by students for the Who’s Who Among American Teachers and the National Honor Roll for Outstanding American Teachers.

He is a National Board Certified Teacher – less than one-half of one percent of the teachers in the country have earned this prestigious certification.

He spent four years working on a team that designed standardized tests and curriculum timelines for the Champaign school district high school math courses.

He knows how to motivate young people to perform better, especially on tests. 

During his last year of teaching in the public schools he received the Eugene Mellon Teacher of the Year Award and the National Claes Nobel Educator of Distinction Award from the National Society of High School Scholars.

Well-known as one of the top motivating high school math teachers in the country, his unique classroom approach has received a lot of public attention.  Most recently, the Champaign - Urbana News Gazette covered the 21st Century Business Leaders Conference that Jason organized for his high school math classes (click here to download article).
