ACT Math

ACT Math

The ACT math test is difficult to master because of the variety of problem types. My approach to tutoring the ACT Math is by first explaining the algebraic way to solve the problem. After the student is confident in their algebra skills, I show them faster and easier ways to solve the problem because of the ACT math time restraints. These two methods, in addition, to a sufficient amount of practice, will help students reach their ACT goals.

Very helpful and patient!

I took the core praxis exam a few months ago and failed the math portion. I have always done poor in math and it had also been about 10 years since I even thought about an algebraic equation or any math at all. I started meeting with Mary and she started from the very beginning with me! By the end of our sessions I was understanding complex math questions on my own, and I passed the math portion of the praxis core exam with a 175! She had new material for me every session and was very patient with me. 5 stars from me!

Thanks for the review. You are an excellent student!!

Thorough, encouraging, successful results

Mary was a great tutor. She met twice a week with our daughter to tutor all subjects of the ACT and her school subjects as well. After the first few lessons her ACT score increased 4 points and she achieved a 4.0 GPA which she has maintained since. Mary was very detailed, organized, and thorough. She was encouraging and her lessons covered all the subjects our daughter needed assistance in. Our daughter did not want to end the sessions because she was going to miss her study time with Mary. I highly recommend Mary.

Mary is an excellent tutor, and also very patient.

We mostly covered geometry in our first session and went over practice problems involving Pythagorean theorem and using formulas. She took it step by step and gave great advice on how to solve a problem.

Mary is a great tutor

Mary is helping me prepare for the Praxis 5001 math portion. She is knowledgeable about what is on the test and helped me with ways to remember formulas which I will need to know.

Resourceful and Caring Tutor

Mary taught me the skills needed for Praxis Elementary Ed. I engaged in 5 lessons with Mary after taking the test 4 times. After weekly math tutoring sessions, I passed my test! She gave me several different resources to used outside of sessions. During session she provided a very caring, encouraging, and creative approach to learning Math.
