About your tutor
With 3 years of experience in teaching ACT Reading, I am passionate about helping students develop the skills and confidence they need to succeed. I work with students from high school to college, guiding them through the complexities of reading comprehension, passage analysis, and time management strategies. My goal is not only to improve scores but also to inspire a love for reading and critical thinking. Over the years, I have seen countless students overcome challenges and achieve their best results. One of my proudest milestones was helping a student raise their score by 6 points, opening doors to their dream college. I am committed to making each lesson a positive and engaging experience, tailoring my teaching approach to suit each students unique needs and strengths. I believe that every student has the potential to excel, and I work tirelessly to provide the support and encouragement they need to reach their goals. My approach combines practical test-taking strategies with a deep focus on understanding the material, ensuring that students are not only prepared for the ACT but also become better readers overall. I am excited to continue helping students unlock their full potential and achieve success in their academic journeys.

Teaching methodology
My teaching methodology for ACT Reading is built on five core principles: Compassion, Real-life Examples, Creativity, Flexibility, and Accountability. Compassion is at the heart of my approach. I understand that the ACT can be stressful, so I create a supportive and patient environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and tackling challenges. I use real-life examples and case studies to make reading passages more relatable, helping students connect with the material in a meaningful way. This not only improves comprehension but also makes learning more engaging. Creativity is essential in helping students develop strong critical thinking skills. I encourage students to approach questions from different angles and find creative strategies to navigate complex passages. Flexibility allows me to adapt my teaching style to meet the unique needs of each student, whether they need help improving reading speed, understanding difficult vocabulary, or practicing specific question types. Lastly, I focus on accountability, setting clear goals and tracking progress. This helps students stay motivated and take ownership of their learning. In addition to ACT Reading, I also teach related subjects such as reading comprehension and vocabulary building, ensuring a well-rounded approach to test preparation. My goal is to help students gain confidence, sharpen their skills, and succeed on the ACT.
