Teaching methodology

My teaching methodology for ACT Reading centers around a blend of real-life examples, collaboration, and flexibility to create an engaging and supportive learning environment. I believe in helping students connect what they learn with practical, real-world situations to make abstract concepts more relatable and easier to grasp. Using case studies and examples, I guide students through the process of understanding reading passages and the strategies needed to tackle complex questions effectively. Collaboration plays a key role in my approach. I encourage open communication, allowing students to express their thoughts and questions, which helps build critical thinking skills and confidence. Together, we work through challenging sections of the ACT Reading section, helping students develop both comprehension and analytical skills. Flexibility is vital to my teaching style; I adapt my lessons to suit each students unique learning needs and pace. Whether they learn best through discussion, visual aids, or hands-on practice, I adjust my methods accordingly. Creativity is encouraged as I use various resources and techniques to keep lessons dynamic and engaging. Lastly, integrity is the foundation of my tutoring philosophy. I prioritize honesty, trust, and a commitment to students success, ensuring they feel empowered and ready to excel in their ACT Reading preparation. I also offer support in related subjects like vocabulary and test-taking strategies, ensuring a holistic approach to academic growth.
