Los Angeles ACT Tutoring FAQ
If you're having a hard time finding quality Los Angeles ACT tutors for your student, Varsity Tutors is here to help. The ACT is a college readiness test that assesses a student's academic performance and mastery of the skills taught in school. Many colleges use this assessment during the admissions process, so it is vital for your student to adequately prepare. Setting up and implementing an effective ACT study plan can be difficult and overwhelming. When we connect you with Los Angeles ACT tutors, your student can focus on reviewing the content they'll encounter on the exam. To learn more about how Los Angeles ACT tutors can support your student, continue reading.
What topics or skills can be covered during Los Angeles ACT tutoring sessions?
The ACT consists of four required sections: Reading, Math, English, and Science. You will have about three hours to complete these sections. The ACT also contains an optional Writing section, which adds 40 minutes to the total testing time. Whether your student needs a comprehensive review of each section or would prefer to focus on just one, a Los Angeles ACT tutoring professional can help.
To prepare for the Reading section, Los Angeles ACT tutors can provide your student with opportunities to practice reading a passage to determine the central idea, use context to understand the meaning of a word, or distinguish between opinions and facts.
The Math section is your student's chance to showcase the mathematical skills they have learned up to the beginning of senior year. Los Angeles ACT tutors can review the skills your student is expected to have learned in the pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry courses.
The English section of the ACT consists of questions that measure one's understanding of standard English conventions. A private instructor can go over topics such as sentence structure, grammar, punctuation, and the style and tone of language. Your student may also want to spend time going over topic development and organization.
For the Science section, Los Angeles ACT tutoring sessions should review the knowledge and scientific skills your student learned in biology, physics, chemistry, and earth or space sciences. You student will want to demonstrate mastery of the Scientific Method and other tools of scientific experimentation.
If your student decides to participate in the Writing section, a private ACT coach can provide opportunities to draft and organize essay responses under expert supervision. Your student will need to showcase an ability to write at the level expected in a freshman-level college course.
In addition, your student's mentor can go over the format of the test. As a parent, you may be unfamiliar with this information. You don't need to worry about your student walking into the ACT unprepared. Study sessions can be used to discuss what types of questions they'll encounter, as well as the strict rules and time limits they'll need to understand on test day. If this is your student's first time taking the ACT, they can significantly benefit from the opportunity to work on practice tests in a timed environment. A private instructor can use these exercises to review time management skills as well as relaxation techniques if your student struggles with test anxiety. Practice tests also provide insight into the areas your student needs to continue reviewing in order to put their best foot forward on exam day.
This amount of information can be overwhelming to review alone. With a private instructor, your student can be sure to review all the appropriate content under the supervision of a teacher who understands the ACT and what to expect on the test.
What are the benefits to be gained from working with Los Angeles ACT tutors near me?
Working with a Los Angeles ACT tutoring professional is a different experience than what your student encounters in a traditional classroom. Tutoring allows your student to participate in one-on-one study sessions. Private ACT instructors have the opportunity to get to know your student and can take extra time to learn their strengths, weaknesses, goals, and preferred method of learning. This information can be used to create a personalized study plan which caters to your student's particular needs. For example, if your student is a visual learner, their instructor can use graphic organizers when talking about how to make connections between different texts for the Reading section. If your student prefers auditory learning, their private ACT coach can utilize a lecture format for study sessions. This can help with memory retention and make study sessions more enjoyable.
Working with a private teacher also provides your student with the chance to work at a pace they find most comfortable. An ACT coach can take the time to break complicated concepts into smaller pieces of information to help your student understand them more fully. If your student is struggling with data collection application and analysis when studying for the Math assessment, they can request as many sessions to this topic as needed. When progress is made, lessons can be adjusted to work on the next topic your student needs to review. Lesson plans are adjustable, allowing for a larger degree of flexibility than your student encounters in conventional learning environments.
Are Los Angeles ACT tutoring sessions convenient?
Our goal is to provide you with access to the best Los Angeles ACT tutors available without the need to sacrifice other commitments or obligations. We can set your student up with either in-person or online study sessions. Whichever you choose, we'll connect you with an instructor who can meet at a time that is convenient for your family.
Online instruction is particularly convenient, as it allows your student to participate in face-to-face instructional sessions from any location that has a stable internet connection. This can enable tutoring sessions to take place from your student's favorite place to study, whether that's at home, in a local coffee shop, or at a location such as the West Hollywood Library. This eliminates the need to spend time commuting back and forth for class.
To connect with an online tutor, your student will simply log in to our proprietary Live Learning Platform. This unique learning environment is equipped with features to makes study sessions interactive. Built-in video chat allows your student to see, hear, and speak directly to an instructor as if they were sitting in a classroom together. There is also a shared document editor and virtual whiteboard, which allows for collaboration during ACT lessons. Another significant benefit of using the Live Learning Platform is the recording feature. Each session is recorded so you and your student can rewatch them at any time.
