Award-Winning ACT Math Tutors serving Vancouver

The student and I met for the first time today. We will work on all 4 sections of the ACT, but today we did Math. We worked on Chapters 7 and 8 of the review book, which included geometry and series.

The student and I continued working through the math portion of the ACT. He scored a 25 on the practice math test that I asked him to complete as homework. As we went over the problems he was again able to answer an additional 10 questions correctly without any help from me, which would have made his score a 30. He has demonstrated significant progress in gaining confidence and limiting negative dialogue. Since he has achieved a score of 25 several times, we will be moving onto the science portion of the exam for our next session. I asked that he complete the science portion of the first practice exam in his book as homework. I am hopeful that the confidence he gained from our math sessions will carry over and provide him the necessary means to do his best. Keep up the hard work and stay positive!

The student is a very gifted student trying to get into collage. He has a 35 composite ACT score and just needs to get a 35 in the Math section to achieve a 36. We practiced problems together and he did some on his own. He does know all the math he needs to know and the only thing holding him back right now is the wording on certain problems. All he can do now is practice to stay sharp and really read the prompt. This was our only in person meeting we will have but there is a chance for future meetings online.

Today we went over the ACT math section of the student's test that he took over the weekend. I had him work the problems he had skipped or had trouble with and then we went over the ones he didn't understand. We will probably need to get some supplemental review materials for geometry and trig because those are the questions that he skips the most and is unable to work on a second try. We also worked on the ACT reading section to correct his responses from the weekend test.

Today I gave the student a crash course in finding arc length and circle interceptors. She was very attentive during our session. We spent a little time on science questions, and I suggested that she download a speed-reading app to practice.

We reviewed the student's ACT math section and went over some SAT math portions. She knows the concepts but it seems that the wording of the questions seems to confuse her. Also, it seems that she has not seen many of these concepts for a while so she needs to refresh her memory. Similarly for the other student, the concepts are not new, they just need to be refreshed. He needs to read the questions more thoroughly in order to understand what he should be solving for. I assigned math sections to solidify the topics we covered.
