About your tutor

I have 4 years of experience tutoring ACT Writing to High School and College students, and during this time, I’ve had the privilege of helping 150-200 students improve their writing skills and achieve their academic goals. My passion for education drives me to create a supportive, engaging learning environment where students feel empowered to express their ideas clearly and confidently. I focus on building strong foundational skills and developing strategies that help students succeed on the ACT Writing section. I celebrate each student’s unique strengths and tailor my lessons to meet their specific needs. My teaching approach is based on motivation, patience, and understanding, ensuring that students feel encouraged and equipped to face challenges. One of my proudest milestones was helping multiple students raise their ACT Writing scores significantly, some by as much as 4-5 points. Seeing my students gain confidence in their writing and apply what they’ve learned beyond the exam has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my career. Im committed to making learning both enjoyable and meaningful for every student I work with.

Teaching methodology

My teaching methodology for ACT Writing focuses on creating a positive, supportive, and engaging learning environment where students feel motivated and confident. I believe in tailoring lessons to each students unique learning style, ensuring that they understand and apply the key writing skills needed to succeed on the ACT. I use a combination of motivation, patience, and creativity to help students tackle writing challenges. I encourage students to express their ideas clearly while providing constructive feedback that helps them refine their writing. Through real-life examples and practice prompts, students build confidence in their ability to structure essays, develop strong arguments, and use proper grammar and style. I approach every student with compassion and empathy, recognizing that each one has different strengths and struggles. I am committed to helping them improve, providing a supportive space for growth, and making the writing process both manageable and enjoyable. Whether its perfecting writing techniques or building test-taking strategies, my goal is to help students achieve their best scores while fostering a love for writing.
