Certified ACT Prep Tutor in Shawnee Mission, KS
As a tutor, I would like to foster not only mastery of individual subjects, but a strengthened approach to academia in general. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy playing and writing music on the guitar, watching movies, playing basketball with my friends, and hanging out with my animals.

Henry: Shawnee Mission ACT tutor
Certified ACT Prep Tutor in Shawnee Mission, KS
I love standardized tests. It might sound weird, but they're usually straightforward, you can sit with them for hours, and, most importantly, you CAN get better at them through practice. That's what I hope to help you do as you prepare for the LSAT, SAT, ACT or any other subject. I also have a blast editing essays, so make sure to use all of these services to their fullest potential!

Certified ACT Prep Tutor in Shawnee Mission, KS
...questions to help students come to right answers on their own, and I show students how to ask their own questions as well. I believe in giving my students resources that help them continue learning after tutoring is finished and throughout their lives. In addition, using my knowledge of science, math, the arts, and the humanities, I make connections between different subjects to help my students see how what we're working on isn't so strange...

...assisted my peers with coursework as an undergraduate at Notre Dame. I believe learning looks different for everyone, and a little patience and creativity can go a long way in tutoring. My day job in refugee resettlement utilizes my communication skills and my ability to solve real-life logic problems, like those on the LSAT and college admissions tests. I specialize in writing as a professional skill and personal hobby; I like to read, eat, paint,...

...at the universities has included both teaching Physics in group (classroom and lab) settings and working with students individually on homework problems or test preparation. For the past few years, I have also tutored students independently, primarily focusing on Algebra/Algebra 2, Physics, and Chemistry. Students have often said that I am a very clear, patient, and thorough tutor. I believe it's important to let students do as much of the work independently as possible so...

...be focused around knowledge AND habit retention. Not only should the student learn the content, they should also learn how to continue delving into the subject and develop strong study/homework habits specific to the subject. Each subject has to be approached in a unique fashion to tailor the session to the needs of the student. Outside of school, I enjoy watching sports (of course I'm a little partial to the Jayhawks, Royals, and chiefs), reading,...

...the need for a translator or dictionary. However, I'd say test prep is my favorite subject to tutor, as the progress has tangible results: a few points more on a standardized test that translates into more scholarships and better chances for admission into more schools. Tutoring for me is a transfer of knowledge that the typical classroom of one teacher to twenty or so students doesn't allow--it's more personal. By use of whiteboards, practice problems,...

In my teaching, my current focus is on general chemistry (at the high school or college level) and organic chemistry, both of which were always personal favorites. Even more importantly, in my pursuit...

Call Varsity Tutors, so our educational directors can connect you with a tutor who matches your needs.
The ACT is made up of four sections, plus an additional essay section which is optional, though depending on the school you want to get into, it may be required. The English section covers punctuation, sentence structure, grammar, style, and more. The math section covers pre-algebra through trigonometry. The reading section will test you on reading comprehension, and the science section focuses on interpretation, analysis, evaluation, reasoning, and problem solving. It is likely that with such a variety of things being tested, you will need some help on at least one, if not two or more, of the sections. Call our directors to find an ACT tutor in Shawnee Mission, KS, who could help you work to try to attain more confidence in the ACT.
Your tutor will assess you, likely with a diagnostic test that is similar to the actual ACT you will be taking, to find where you are strong and where you need help. They will then develop lesson plans specifically focused on the areas you need to work on. This is the kind of individualized attention you would never get in a classroom setting. Your tutor will take as much time as necessary on each aspect of the test, and that includes going much more quickly over things you are comfortable with.
Let us find you an expert ACT tutor in Shawnee Mission with the experience, skills, and teaching approach that matches your needs.
