St. Louis ACT Tutoring FAQ
If you're preparing to apply for college, Varsity Tutors can connect you with qualified St. Louis ACT tutoring that can help speed up your review. The ACT is one of the most commonly taken college entrance exams and performing well on the exam can help set you apart from other applicants. Whether you're just beginning your review or starting to feel study-fatigue, St. Louis ACT tutors can add structure and guidance to your studies. You will learn from an expert instructor who has the skills and knowledge necessary to help you reach for your academic goals. Your instructor can use their expertise to help familiarize you with the layout and content present on the exam to help you eliminate some of the unknown before test day.
How does St. Louis ACT tutoring differ from classroom learning?
When you work with St. Louis ACT tutors, you will be the sole focus of your instructor during your sessions. In traditional classroom settings, teachers must adhere to a set course curriculum, all the while accommodating the needs of an entire class of students. Unfortunately, this doesn't always permit teachers to provide each student with guided, individualized instruction. It can be frustrating to turn in homework and receive general feedback that doesn't specifically address your knowledge gaps or provide you with a path forward. Furthermore, each student learns in different ways, and in a classroom setting, teachers aren't able to employ a wide range of teaching styles that appeal to each individual student's learning needs. This type of general teaching approach can make it even more challenging to internalize complex course material, such as chemistry or physics.
St. Louis ACT tutoring can provide you with personalized instruction aimed at addressing your areas of opportunity directly. You can work with your instructor to customize a lesson plan that covers the topics you wish to study. This means that if you're already confident in your ability to perform well on the Reading Section of the ACT, you can focus your attention and energy to where it is genuinely needed. By studying smarter, you can cover more material in a shorter period of time. Your instructor can also assign ACT practice quizzes to help you get comfortable with the layout and content of the exam. Instructors can use the results of these quizzes to determine your strengths and identify any existing knowledge gaps. This information can then be used to construct future lessons to ensure you are covering your areas of need and building up knowledge gaps.
During your sessions, your instructor can take the time to learn your strengths, goals, and interests to create lessons that engage and excite you. While you might find reading and analyzing texts boring and tedious, your instructor can use the information they learn about you to make the material speak to you in new and exciting ways. They can also adapt their teaching style to your learning style. For example, if you're an auditory learner, your instructor might engage you in open discussions and teach using short lectures. Instead of simply reading a text to yourself, they might suggest that you read it aloud together to help you learn it more quickly. If you're a visual learner, your instructor can use the virtual whiteboard in our Live Learning Platform to illustrate complex equations, draw concept maps, or write out detailed notes on a topic.
What are the benefits of studying with St. Louis ACT tutors near me?
The ACT is a standardized exam comprising four main sections: Science, Math, English, and Reading. It also contains an optional Writing section where test-takers can demonstrate their essay-writing skills. Studying with St. Louis ACT tutors can provide you with a more thorough review than one you might be able to get on your own. Rather than spending hours dredging the internet to find reliable instructional videos and resources, you can work with a private instructor who has the requisite knowledge to help you on your journey. Not only can your private instructor help you build the foundational subject knowledge needed for the ACT, but they can also teach you critical study habits such as note-taking and effective reading that can increase your retention rate.
Studying privately with an instructor allows you to work at a pace that is right for you. As you work from your customized lesson plan, you will have the opportunity to skip ahead to a new subject if you advance quickly or spend as much time as you need on a tricky concept until you're confident in your proficiency. It's important to remember that your sessions will take the shape of your needs, so as your needs evolve and shift, so will your lessons.
St. Louis ACT tutors can also help you refine your test-taking skills and develop new ones that might prove beneficial on test day. For example, did you know that you are not penalized for wrong answers on the ACT? Your instructor can teach you skills such as critical reasoning that can help you break down the logic of a question to eliminate impossible or improbable answers. By narrowing down your choice of selections on a multiple-choice question that has you stumped, you can increase your odds of choosing the correct answer with an educated guess.
Given the length of the ACT, it's also essential to work at a steady, efficient pace. Your instructor can help you refine your time-management skills to ensure you aren't spending too much time on particular questions. These test-taking strategies can help you work more effectively and efficiently on test day.
