About your tutor
I am a dedicated tutor with 14+ years of experience teaching ACT Science to high school and college students. Over the years, I have had the privilege of helping around 150 students improve their scores and gain a deeper understanding of science. My teaching philosophy is centered around personalized learning. I believe every student has a unique way of understanding concepts, so I adapt my approach to suit their individual needs and learning styles. I focus on creating a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring difficult concepts. By breaking down complex topics into simpler, relatable terms, I help students build confidence and succeed on the ACT Science section. I also teach important test-taking strategies, such as time management and how to approach different types of questions. One of my proudest achievements is seeing many of my students improve their ACT scores, opening doors to better college opportunities. I am passionate about making learning enjoyable and effective, and I am committed to helping each student reach their full potential.

Teaching methodology
My teaching approach for ACT Science focuses on flexibility, understanding, positivity, and integrity. I believe that each student learns differently, so I adapt my lessons to fit individual needs. Whether it’s breaking down complex scientific concepts or helping students master the scientific reasoning section, I ensure that my teaching methods are flexible and cater to the pace and style that works best for each student. Understanding is at the heart of my approach. I focus on building a strong foundation in key scientific concepts, including biology, chemistry, physics, and Earth science, so that students feel confident when tackling ACT Science questions. I also emphasize test-taking strategies, such as time management and how to approach data analysis, which are crucial for success. Positivity plays a significant role in my lessons. I create a supportive and encouraging learning environment where students feel comfortable and motivated to ask questions and improve. Integrity guides everything I do, ensuring that my students receive honest, transparent feedback while taking responsibility for their own progress. In addition to ACT Science, I also offer tutoring in subjects such as biology, chemistry, and physics, helping students build a comprehensive understanding of the sciences. My goal is to foster both academic success and a genuine interest in science.
