Michelle: Stamford ACT tutor
Certified ACT Prep Tutor in Stamford, CT
I've been tutoring for 5 years now and it's one of the most rewarding things I've ever been given the opportunity to do! I believe that tutoring is a back and forth system. 50% me, 50% you. And with a little touch of fun, that's how we'll get the 100%. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy traveling and photography. In addition to that, I am a psychology and marketing major in college.

Stamford ACT Tutoring FAQ
One of the tests college-bound students need to prepare for is the ACT. It's used by many American colleges and universities as part of the admission process and measures proficiency in five subjects: English, math, reading, science, and writing. Although the writing section is optional in that not all schools require it, not taking it limits the list of schools to which you may want to apply. Usually, students in grades 11 and 12 take the test so they can submit their scores with their college applications.
The score range is 1 to 36, and it is calculated by averaging the scores on the four (or five) sections. If you're trying for a scholarship, you need to aim for a score of at least 27, as that's where scholarship grantors look first to begin sorting through applicants. One way to prepare you can make for this important test is working with a professional tutor. You can walk into your exam with confidence with the assistance of an expert ACT tutor in Stamford to try to help you prepare.
A professional tutor can meet with you wherever it's most comfortable and at the most convenient time for you. Meetings can be in person or in face-to-face online sessions. You tutor can discuss and help you analyze which areas of your studies need the most work; from these discussions comes a customized plan of action, emphasizing where the most effort should be placed. You and your tutor can decide the pace of your studies to make them as stress-free as possible. Let Varsity Tutors find you an expert ACT tutor in Stamford, CT, who could create personalized study sessions designed to meet your specific goals.
