Award-Winning ACT Tutors

Chris ...and understandings that form the solution become integrated into their current skill set. Complete explanations, which I review with them, point by point, are printed on the back, first by me, and then, by imitation, by them. I stress the quality of each of these seemingly obvious steps, because the effectiveness of my method depends upon all of them working together. I insist on a minimum of three problems reviewed in one session and focus...

Chelsea ...on. I am passionate about problem solving. I think it's amazing what you can discover with calculus, so I love helping students be a part of that discovery. I like to guide my students to the correct answer following their line of thinking. There are different ways to get to the same answer so I like to help them find the way that makes sense to them so they will understand and remember the principle....

Jaeger ...major at Arizona State University and I am in my second semester as a Learning Assistant /Tutor for university physics. I truly enjoy the "Aha! That makes sense!" moments that students get when first grasping concepts for the first time, and am available for tutoring in a variety of subjects, primarily physics, math (all levels), and other science subjects, as well as test prep. I was valedictorian of my high school, an AP National Scholar,...

Mia ...has taught me the value of strong argumentation skills. I have published everything from short stories to journalistic articles, in my college paper or at The New York Times. Most students come to me for my encouraging spirit and fun attitude because I always want to make learning a positive experience.

Justin ...high schools like Stuyvesant and Brooklyn Tech are especially engaging to work with due to the challenging nature of the material and the lively mind of the student. In addition to my own tutoring practice, I've also been director of a non-profit tutoring center. Under my administration we tracked students' scores and attained the highest average grade increase in the program's history. By guiding other tutors and consulting students for feedback on their experience, I...

Anna ...style, I combine having fun with motivating the student to perform at his or her best. I focus on getting to know the student and identifying the methods that are best tailored to his or her strengths and weaknesses. I can be rather flexible and creative in my solutions on an individual basis. My overall strategy is to be the student's personal cheerleader while reinforcing good study skills and habits. I spend any spare time...

Michael ...music for many years at my high school’s summer theater program. I tutor a diverse range of subjects, but I am most passionate about math, English, writing, and standardized tests. I have seen remarkable growth in students struggling with understanding math, or improving their test scores—and I know this success is possible, because I was once that struggling student in algebra, calculus, and while studying for the ACT. I am a strong proponent of the...

Ashley ...sees the problem and find a way that will work for not just today, but for the future. No matter the subject, I work with students on strategies to understand and to execute problems quickly and efficiently, and I love the moment when something clicks.
