About your tutor

I am a dedicated tutor with 6 years of experience, specializing in ACT Reading for high school and college students. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with over 300 students, helping them improve their reading comprehension skills, critical thinking, and test-taking strategies. My commitment to personalized learning sets me apart – I believe that each student has unique strengths and challenges, and I adapt my teaching methods to fit their individual needs. I focus on fostering a deep understanding of reading passages, analyzing themes, and applying effective problem-solving techniques to tackle difficult questions. I motivate my students to approach the test with confidence, emphasizing the importance of time management and focus. My approach is not only about improving test scores but also building a love for reading and critical analysis that benefits students long after the exam. By creating a positive, supportive, and empathetic learning environment, I empower students to take ownership of their learning. My goal is to help students reach their full potential, achieve their academic goals, and become lifelong learners.

Teaching methodology

My teaching strategy for ACT Reading focuses on accountability, adaptation to learning styles, and clarity. I believe every student learns differently, so I tailor my approach to match their unique strengths and challenges. By using various teaching methods, such as visual aids, discussions, and practice exercises, I ensure that each student can grasp complex reading comprehension concepts in a way that suits their learning style. I emphasize accountability by setting clear goals and tracking progress, encouraging students to take ownership of their learning journey. In addition to ACT Reading, I also teach relevant subjects, like critical thinking and time management, that enhance test-taking strategies. My goal is to build students confidence, improve their performance, and provide them with skills they can use both on the exam and in their future academic pursuits.
