I have 4 years of experience in ACT/SAT prep and 3 years of experience tutoring middle school and high school students across a diverse range of subjects.

Hi, I'm Mitchell! I am a junior studying Finance and Education at the University of Iowa. I scored a 35 on the ACT and was awarded the National Merit Scholar distinction on the PSAT. I have 4 years of experience in ACT/SAT prep and 3 years of experience tutoring middle school and high school students across a diverse range of subjects. I have experience tutoring in a class setting, a small group setting, and a 1-on-1 setting. I believe the key to student success is individualized instruction. I dedicate time to preparing for every single lesson, tailoring my instruction to the unique needs of each student. I can help you with ACT/SAT prep, Prealgebra, Algebra, Geometry, Precalculus, Biology, English, Reading, and Writing.

As a student, I found that the personality and skill of the instructor were what made a class enjoyable and productive. Thus, as a tutor, I take an engaging and deliberate approach to instruction. I start by introducing the topic in a fun and interesting way before moving on to direct conceptual and practical instruction. Throughout this process, I pay close attention to the student's thought process, especially how they approach practice problems. Once the student has demonstrated a strong grasp of the subject, I test for mastery using real-world practice problems. For ACT/SAT prep, I also make it a priority to impart actionable test-day advice in addition to subject mastery. Through my own experience, I know the proper mindset and testing approach can have a significant impact on your exam score.

I pride myself on meeting students at their current ability levels while still challenging them to reach their full potential. My focus is to not only help students get the correct answers but also to help them retain the underlying concepts. Most of all, I strive to instill in students a passion for learning. Someone who loves the journey will go further than someone who loves the destination. Feel free to reach out to me if you are interested in tutoring. I look forward to working with you!

Great tutor

Explained things very well, so good that it made me feel silly that I didn’t understand it before :) Will definitely reach out to him for help again.

An Exceptional Reading Tutor Who Truly Cares

Mitchell has been working with both my son and daughter on reading and essay writing, and we feel very lucky to have found him. He is always well-prepared, punctual, and attentive to our children’s individual needs. What I especially appreciate is his insightful and precise feedback on my daughter’s writing—it has been incredibly helpful in improving her skills. I highly recommend him as a thoughtful and dedicated tutor.

Wonderful

He did three last-minute sessions preparing my son for the SAT, and his score went up 200 points from his practice! My son liked him, and he kept him engaged. Thanks Mitchell!

Great ASVAB tutor

Mitchell was my tutor to help me get ready for the Army ASVAB. I needed help with the math sections in particular. I needed a good score for the MOS I wanted, a 107, but I wound up getting a 118. I had been out of school for a couple of years but with his help, I was completely prepared to take the exam. We not only worked on the areas where i needed the most help, but covered the other sections as well. I could not have done it without him.

Greatly increased my ASVAB score

Mitchell tutored me to help me get ready for the Army ASVAB. I needed a certain score to be able to get the MOS I wanted. Not only did I get the score I needed, I scored 32 points higher than I needed to. I never would have been able to pull it off without his help. He had a lot of knowledge about the different ASVAB sections and we focused on the areas I needed the most help in first, but we were able to cover the other sections as well to make sure I did well in them too. I would highly recommend him.

Excellent AP English tutor

From the very beginning,Mitchell demonstrated a deep understanding of the AP English curriculum and was incredibly skilled at breaking down complex material into manageable concepts. His guidance greatly improved my analytical writing skills. He provided clear, constructive feedback on my essays, helping me understand how to develop stronger arguments, incorporate textual evidence effectively, and refine my style and tone. His insights into rhetorical strategies and literary analysis were especially helpful when preparing for the free-response questions. Thanks to his support, I went into the AP exam feeling well-prepared and much more confident. I highly recommend Mitchell to any student looking to improve their skills and succeed in AP English!

Real results!

Mitchell reviewed a study guide with my son who had very little knowledge of the material. Today we found out he scored a 95 on his exam. The proof is in the results. Thank you!
