Jack: Portland ACT tutor
Certified ACT Prep Tutor in Portland, OR
I believe an instructor should make a subject exciting and interesting. Being positive, pleasant,and humorous is important. Maya Angelou put it the right way: "People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But they will never forget how you made them FEEL." My goal is to make a student feel something positive, then associate that with information. They won't forget that.

Portland ACT Tutoring FAQ
The ACT is one of the most important exams you will take in your high school career. Everything from college admissions to scholarships and merit-based financial aid rests, at least in part, on this nearly four hour long exam. The exam has four sections: reading, English, science, and mathematics. In addition, there is an optional writing portion that requires you to create an essay in 40 minutes, to be scored along with the exam. Many colleges require students to take this essay portion and submit the score with their application. With so many important things relying on your scores from this one exam, it is important to perform your best. Varsity Tutors is here to help.
