Founded in 2013 by Craig Gehring, MasteryPrep was created in hopes of closing the achievement gap that prevents poor and impoverished students from getting the help they need to improve their ACT scores, get into the college of their choice, and secure a bright future for themselves. One factor that separates MasteryPrep from other commercial test prep companies is the fact that MasteryPrep services those students who have been left behind. They specifically focus on students scoring below college-readiness standards.
