Teaching methodology
My teaching methodology for ACT Writing focuses on fostering a supportive and motivating learning environment where students feel confident and capable. I believe that every student has unique strengths, and I adapt my approach to meet their individual needs. I start by building a strong foundation with clear, step-by-step instruction that makes complex writing concepts easy to understand. I use real-world examples and practice exercises to help students apply their knowledge and develop their writing skills. Patience and compassion are at the core of my teaching style, as I recognize that each student progresses at their own pace and may face different challenges along the way. Creativity plays a key role in my lessons, encouraging students to think critically and express their ideas in unique and meaningful ways. I motivate students to embrace their individuality while guiding them in crafting well-organized, persuasive essays that meet ACT standards. Beyond ACT Writing, I offer support in other related subjects, ensuring that students build confidence in their overall academic abilities. My goal is not only to improve their scores but to inspire a lasting love for writing and learning.
