Dr. Sampath Bio<http://prepaccelerator.com/about/>

Dr. Sampath has received extremely positive feedback about his classes and rising ACT scores have given parents and students proof that these classes can make a world of difference.

In partnership with Grandview Heights Public Library, Dr. Sampath is generously offering his ACT Crash Course (4 hours worth of instruction) for students AND his Information session for parents FREE of charge online on Saturday, April 18, 2020.

(should these classes fill up, Dr. Sampath has agreed to offer additional dates to accommodate the registration numbers)

These classes were originally going to be hosted in person by Grandview Heights Public Library, but in light of COVID-19 the Grandview Library is now hosting Dr. Sampath's classes online. You do not have to be a library member or an Ohio resident to register.

Please feel free to share this information with your patrons.
