Students who are reviewing for upcoming college admissions exams like the ACT can reach out to Varsity Tutors for assistance in connecting with a Virginia Beach ACT prep course. Additional prep help can benefit any student who is preparing to apply to college. Performing well on the ACT is important for high schoolers, as it helps them stand out amidst fierce competition from other applicants. This is one reason many students start preparing early, as the ACT is one of the primary requirements in the college application process. The score you get on the ACT is a major factor in how college admissions committees might view your application, which means you'll need every form of help you can get.
The American College Test, or ACT, is composed of four sections, each designed to test students in a particular skill area. The ACT is a comprehensive test. This means that students will have to review several topics in the time they have from now until their ACT test date.
What can be covered by Virginia ACT prep?
Science, Reading, Math, and English are the four required sections that comprise the ACT. Writing is an optional section. The exam is administered for three hours and forty minutes if all 5 sections are taken, and just under three hours without the Writing section.
The Writing section includes one essay question that poses three varying points of view on a single issue. Students should be able to formulate their own response after reading the question and show connections between their own response to the three perspectives. The writing skills students must demonstrate in this question are drafting, organization, analysis, and comparison. You should maintain a strong grasp of the English language while doing so, which means your writing should be free of grammatical, spelling, and other errors. Your responses will be checked for topic development, organization, unity, and cohesion. This means the content you write should be well-thought out, easy to understand, and easy to follow.
As for the English section, students will be tasked to answer seventy-five questions in forty-five minutes. Because the questions posed by this section contain short passages, you'll need to read fast and ensure you understand the text. You will be tested for your quality of writing, knowledge of language skills, and the like. Students should hone their skills in style and tone of language to show how comfortable you are with using English.
Meanwhile, students answering the Math section will be given one hour to answer its sixty questions. Each question will gauge how much you've retained from the previous mathematical subjects you have learned. These include pre-algebra, coordinate and plane geometry, elementary and intermediate algebra, and trigonometry. To prepare for such questions, students will need to review number systems, interpreting equations, handling functions, graphing expressions, and doing geometric shape calculation. These concepts can be reviewed with the help of a tutor, or in an ACT class. When answering the Math sections, you'll need to ensure that you are solving quickly but as accurately as possible.
In answering the Reading section, you'll be given forty questions you need to answer in thirty-five minutes. You'll be given several passages for reading, just like the English section. The questions, however, will check how well you can comprehend the passages instead of how skilled you are with the language rules. The questions in the Reading section will gauge your ability to reason logically using texts, analyze texts, and make decisions using many sources of information. Your English vocabulary will be measured as well to ensure you're able to understand words and phrases in the passage.
Lastly, you'll encounter the Science section, which contains forty multiple-choice and passage-based questions. These questions, which need to be answered in thirty-five minutes, will check your grasp of scientific subjects like biology, chemistry, physics, and Earth and space sciences. To prepare for this section, students will need to review how to manipulate scientific data presented in different formats. You'll also have to use the scientific method, as well as other procedures, designs, and tools for scientific investigation and experimentation.
What are the benefits of different types of Virginia ACT prep?
Private tutoring and prep courses are two types of ACT review that Varsity Tutors can connect you with. Students can reap the benefits of each ACT review type and even combine them in order to get fully equipped for the exam. Some of the ways that Virginia ACT tutoring sessions or a prep class might add to your review are expanded upon below.
Students eyeing an ACT class can get enrolled in online instruction that's similar to a regular classroom-type course. New sections begin each week, and students can choose either a two-week session or a four-week session. Taking a Virginia ACT prep class also benefits you by letting you study in an interactive and collaborative online environment. ACT courses are held using a platform that allows students to converse with the instructor and fellow students during discussions or group activities that aim to hone the skills students need for the ACT. If you encounter any particularly tricky issues in your Virginia ACT course, you can request one-on-one help from your instructor.
If you prefer one-on-one study, you might opt to get help from a Virginia Beach ACT preparation tutor. With a private instructor, you'll be able to focus on any topics you struggle with since a private instructor doesn't need to follow a classroom lesson plan. For example, a student at Princess Anne High School who excels in American historical events but struggles to remember European historical figures can have the tutor lecture them on the latter and skip the former. Private ACT tutoring sessions focus just on you and your goals.

My Philosophy of Teaching My philosophy stems from the belief that a child’s life is influenced by their education and self-esteem. Education and self-esteem are the foundations for the students to be able to function in society. It is important for students to know I care about them, their learning, and their future. Confidence in my teaching ability is as important as having confidence that all students can learn. I practice and teach a positive attitude towards learning. I expect that my students learn and practice a positive attitude. Gaining an optimistic and well-rounded learning experience can help students become productive and successful in our society. Regardless of a student’s background or ability, they deserve to learn in a safe and nurturing environment. A student’s impression of school should be a positive one. Positive experiences begin with the teacher teaching in a respectful, caring, and understanding manner. Other positive experiences come from students and administrators. School is a place of discovering, growing, and learning. Stimulating and nurturing a student’s interest to learn, encourages a positive attitude about school. Students need to be creative and know it is fine to be an individual. Creativity and individuality are pulled from a variety of learning styles. Students can be more productive learners with the use of manipulative, peer tutoring, cooperative learning, and differentiated strategies. Students should be allowed to explore problem-solving methods in all academic areas as well as social interaction. Assessments assist in providing information to determine the students’ abilities and progress. Allowing students’ to assist in grading their work provides immediate feedback on performance. Students want to know how they are progressing. Experiencing different test taking strategies is equally important as knowing the information being tested. A Child’s social skills are important as a child’s education. To help students develop life skills, it is important that I create and educational environment that requires structures, consistency, fairness, and care. Students assist with rules, consequences, and rewards during the class. Constant positive modeling of desired behaviors is important. As the teacher it is important that I am always a positive role model. Being a positive role model can be the example a student needs if ever in a negative situation. I am constantly striving to improve and learn more. It is essential that I am always moving forward and increasing my knowledge and skills. Constantly moving forward will assist me in being able to effectively respond to my students’ needs. Therefore, continuing my education and acquiring new strategies for teaching will assist me in being a positive and influential role model.

As an English teacher, creating a sense of excitement in reading and writing is what I wanted students to always strive for in their academic lives. Literature and composition played an essential role in my life, and I hope students will feel the same as they explore their imagination and curiosity. When a student tells me they just read ".........." and loved it, I feel inspired by them and encourage them to continue learning forever.
