About your tutor

With 5 years of tutoring experience, I specialize in teaching ACT Reading to students ranging from high school to college. My teaching style centers on making reading comprehension both engaging and accessible. I believe every student has the potential to excel, and I work to build their confidence by providing clear, step-by-step strategies that help them approach each reading passage with ease. One of my key methods is breaking down complex texts into manageable segments, allowing students to focus on understanding key themes, details, and relationships between ideas. I use innovative techniques like active reading exercises, where students engage with texts through discussion and interactive questions, helping them retain critical information and improve their focus. In addition to reading strategies, I emphasize time management—teaching students how to efficiently pace themselves during the test without sacrificing accuracy. My goal is to equip students not only with the skills to perform well on the ACT but also with a deeper appreciation for reading that extends beyond the test. Beyond ACT Reading, I also offer tutoring in ACT English, ACT Writing, and other test prep subjects. I’m committed to tailoring lessons to fit each student’s unique learning style, ensuring they’re prepared to succeed both on test day and in their academic journey.

Teaching methodology

My teaching approach for ACT Reading combines real-life examples, creativity, motivation, integrity, and flexibility to create a dynamic and effective learning experience. I begin by incorporating real-life examples and case studies into lessons to make reading comprehension more relatable. By connecting the content to everyday scenarios, I help students understand complex texts in a meaningful way, improving their ability to analyze passages critically. Creativity is at the heart of my teaching style. I encourage students to think creatively about how they approach reading questions, using unique strategies to identify key themes, relationships, and details within the passage. This helps them not only improve their test performance but also develop a deeper understanding of the material. Motivation plays a significant role in my lessons. I focus on building students confidence by celebrating their progress, no matter how small. By maintaining a positive and encouraging atmosphere, I ensure students stay motivated and engaged throughout the learning process. Integrity is essential in my teaching philosophy. I am committed to providing honest, constructive feedback and helping students develop the skills they need to succeed on the ACT and beyond. Flexibility allows me to adapt my teaching methods to fit each students unique learning style and pace, ensuring they receive the support they need to excel. In addition to ACT Reading, I also offer tutoring in ACT English, ACT Writing, and general test preparation. My goal is to empower students to approach the ACT with confidence and achieve their best results.
