I help students prepare for any and/or all of the sections of the ACT in the way that best suits their needs. I am experienced in developing both rigorous, diagnostic-based tutoring plans and also with providing opportunities for students to simply refresh their understanding of fundamental concepts. I can help students tackle the ACT with confidence through both short-term and long-term tutoring, and I pull from my own experiences as a student to teach and motivate them to reach the best scores they can.

I earned a 36 on ACT Science and a 99th percentile composite when I took the exam in 2013. I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology (Neuroscience minor) from the University of Texas at Dallas, and I am earning my PhD in Clinical Psychology.

She makes math fun.

She makes math make sense. It’s not just formulas with her. There is reasoning why the formulas are used. It’s also a good way to learn, I've been doing much better with her.

Brandon, 64 lessons with Alexandra

Extremely knowledgeable and personable.

Alexandra met with my son once to review the ACT Science and Reading portions. She was very efficient with identifying his strengths and weaknesses, and he said immediately after the session that she had been a tremendous help. He took the test today and feels very confident, after one session, that he increased his score and felt so much more relaxed during the exam. Thanks, Alexandra! We will call on you if we have any other tutoring needs.
