About your tutor

In my 9 years of tutoring experience, I have had the privilege of teaching ACT Writing to over 150 students, ranging from high school to college. My passion for education drives me to help each student not only improve their writing skills but also build their confidence in expressing their thoughts clearly. I believe that every student has the potential to succeed, and my goal is to help them unlock their full potential through personalized and compassionate teaching. Over the years, I have developed a unique approach that combines patience, motivation, and creativity, making learning an engaging and fulfilling experience. I focus on understanding each students strengths and challenges, then tailor lessons to meet their specific needs. This has helped many students achieve their desired scores on the ACT Writing section, with several reaching personal milestones like raising their writing scores by 3-5 points. Seeing my students grow and succeed is the most rewarding part of my work. I am deeply committed to helping students not only excel in their exams but also develop a love for writing that will serve them well beyond their academic career.

Teaching methodology

My teaching methodology for ACT Writing focuses on creating a supportive and engaging learning environment. I believe that every student learns differently, so I adapt my approach to meet each students unique needs. My key principles are motivation, patience, compassion, and creativity. First, I motivate students by setting clear goals and helping them understand the importance of mastering writing skills for their future success. I provide consistent encouragement to help students feel confident in their abilities. Patience is crucial, as writing can be challenging for many, so I give students time to process concepts and practice at their own pace. Compassion is at the core of my approach. I listen to my students concerns, understand their challenges, and make sure they feel comfortable making mistakes and learning from them. Through creative exercises and real-life examples, I make writing fun and help students see its practical value beyond the exam. I also teach relevant subjects like essay structure, grammar, and critical thinking, which support not only their ACT preparation but their overall writing skills. This holistic approach ensures students excel in ACT Writing and develop long-lasting skills.
