Tutoring
ETS provides tutorial services to ETS Scholars when requested in addition to connecting students with community and school tutoring resources.
ACT Bootcamps are offered once in the fall semester and at least once in the spring semester prior to the ACT national test date. Online ACT test prep is also offered year-round on the PhotoStudy Tutoring platform.
PhotoStudy
ETS uses the PhotoStudy platform to provide high-quality online learning to students. Live online tutoring is available 24/7 in math, science, and writing/composition subjects.
On the mobile app, Academy Sessions, or pre-made sessions, are available for ACT and SAT Prep, STEM subjects, AP U.S History, History, and Computer Science.
If you or your scholar is interested in using PhotoStudy, please contact your Education Specialist or email ets@unl.edu.
One-on-One Mentor Tutor
If a scholar desires a one-on-one ETS Mentor to work within a certain subject, they can submit a request. This is done by contacting their ETS Education Specialist.
After-School Clubs
After-School Middle and High School Clubs
ETS creates opportunities to ensure middle and high school students gain a well-rounded education. Clubs focus on cultural enrichment, career exploration, college readiness, and academic preparedness.
To learn the specific details for your school, contact your Education Specialist.
College Visits
ETS has at least one visit to an in-state college during the day each semester as well as one overnight trip to out-of-state colleges in the summer. Students take a tour of the college, learn about the programs offered, and get to ask questions to university faculty, staff, and students.
We also offer a yearly event called “Day in the Life of a College Student” where students get to attend college classes, eat in the dining hall, visit resources on campus, and engage with current college students.
