Engaging ESL tutor with patient, collaborative problem-solving strategies

With 6 years of tutoring experience, I am passionate about helping students succeed in ACT Writing. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching 150-200 high school and college students, guiding them through the complexities of writing essays that stand out. My approach focuses on building confidence, improving writing skills, and developing a clear, persuasive writing style that resonates with ACT examiners. I believe in a personalized approach, understanding each student’s unique strengths and challenges. I’ve helped students achieve significant improvements in their scores, and I take great pride in seeing them grow not only as writers but also as individuals who believe in their ability to succeed. I am dedicated to fostering a positive, encouraging learning environment where students feel comfortable expressing themselves and making progress at their own pace. Every student I work with is given the tools and support they need to reach their fullest potential on the ACT Writing section.

My teaching methodology for ACT Writing focuses on creating a supportive and motivating environment where students feel encouraged to grow and improve. I believe every student has unique strengths, and I adapt my teaching approach to suit individual learning styles. My core principles are motivation, patience, compassion, and creativity. I start by building students confidence in their writing abilities, making sure they understand the importance of structure, clarity, and persuasive argumentation in their essays. Using real-world examples and interactive activities, I help students explore different writing techniques, enabling them to approach the ACT Writing section with creativity and originality. I emphasize the value of planning and revising their work, so they can express their ideas clearly and logically. Patience and empathy are at the heart of my teaching, as I understand the pressures of preparing for the ACT. I provide constant feedback, celebrate small victories, and help students overcome challenges with confidence. My goal is not just to improve their writing skills but also to inspire a lasting love for writing.
