I have tutored since my sophomore year in high school and it has been 7 or so years since. I started tutoring and helping family friends' kids with time management and study skills.

I have tutored since my sophomore year in high school and it has been 7 or so years since. I started tutoring and helping family friends' kids with time management and study skills.

I have taken the ACT myself, scoring at 34 on the Math Section on it. I have tutored this subject for 5 years both in-person and online. I have numerous ACT books that I draw examples problems from when I work with my students one on one. For the students I have worked with, their math scores not only increased but their overall confidence in mathematics went up as well. I gauge new students' current ability on the math section with a sample ACT math section and then I provide a general summary to the student and parent of how the student did on each portion of the ACT math section (trigonometry, algebra I, geometry etc.).
