Tutoring is the best possible way for me to do that.

Pleasanton ACT Tutoring FAQ
Taking the ACT can seem intimidating. The test is almost three hours long, and that's without including the essay portion that is referred to as "optional," but is actually required by many colleges. If you're taking all the sections of the ACT you'll be working for more than three and a half hours on questions ranging from English, math, reading, and science, as well as demonstrating your writing ability. Your performance on the test is a vital part of your college application, and high scores could make the difference in getting into the school of your choice. With that much pressure resting on one test, it makes sense to consider getting the help of a private tutor. Varsity Tutors' educational directors are experienced at helping students in Pleasanton, CA, find independent ACT tutors to try to help them succeed on examination day.
The multiple choice questions you'll encounter on the ACT cover everything from algebra to reading comprehension. The essay section will direct you to analyze three different perspectives on an issue and explain how your point of view meshes with those prompts. You'll get an objective written score when you receive your ACT results, but you'll also be assigned a percentile rank that shows how you match up with all the other students taking the test. These two methods of evaluating your performance will be sent to the colleges you apply to. If you're preparing for the ACT, Varsity Tutors' educational directors can assist you in finding an experienced tutor in Pleasanton that can guide your studies.
The insights you'll get from a private tutor will be far more valuable than anything you can learn from a study workbook. They are focused on providing you with one on one guidance and explaining in depth any concept you don't have a handle on. They will work through sample questions with you, helping you identify the correct answers, as well as imparting test taking strategies for you to use when you're actually in the examination room. Varsity Tutors will connect you with an experienced and trusted ACT tutor in Pleasanton who could be a great match for your style of learning.
Studying with your tutor will be convenient and easy. They'll meet you when and where you want, whether you prefer morning sessions at the kitchen table, or evening sessions at the library. They're committed to your success and making the most of your review time. Varsity Tutors will find you a hand-picked ACT tutor in Pleasanton, CA, who loves what they teach and shows you how to max out your ACT preparation time.
