Spectacular and Recommended ACT Tutor!
Nancy, 8 lessons with ZakiyZakiy tutored my daughter for the ACT. The results were nothing short of spectacular. Zakiy is incredibly smart, has a lovely disposition with parents and students, is prompt and communicative, and most importantly, clearly knows what he is doing.

Through my 7 years of Paper and Digital SAT/PSAT, and ACT test prep experience, I've come across virtually every hurdle a student could face in achieving their target score. Whether you're struggling with pace, need to work on foundational concepts, or just require a little expert push to get through the next score threshold, I've seen it all and want to show you the quickest way to your goal. My approach to teaching the tests is informed not just by mastery of the core material, but also by...

Spectacular and Recommended ACT Tutor!
Zakiy tutored my daughter for the ACT. The results were nothing short of spectacular. Zakiy is incredibly smart, has a lovely disposition with parents and students, is prompt and communicative, and most importantly, clearly knows what he is doing. He is strategic in every aspect of his tutoring for the ACT, which is exactly what we needed and what hooked my daughter into the plan. She never complained about the tutoring sessions -- she saw the value immediately. Result: 7 point composite increase with 6-8 point improvement in every test area! To give you context to determine how your own student might fare, my daughter is highly intelligent, takes every AP class she can, and is very "coachable," so she started the tutoring with a lot of potential. However, she was not into studying for the test at all (SAT, same thing) and generally performs below her ability on standardized tests due to text anxiety. When push came to shove, she saw that her scores were below what she needed for her first choice college. With only three weeks to study before her last chance to improve her scores, she began to work with Zakiy. Zakiy tutored my daughter for a total of about 18 hours and gave her practice assignments. He zeroed in strategically on the types of questions that were the most problematic for her and explained, for example, that if she had just known a certain skill, she would have gotten 8 questions correct and thereby improved her score by 3 points (numbers estimated from memory). That approach drew my daughter in right away and it worked! I highly recommend Zakiy for ACT tutoring. It was worth every minute and every penny. Further, Wyzant is an incredible resource to connect students and tutors.

Knowledgeable and well informed about the topic.
ACT reading and we just had one session so far but it was very productive and best we had ever in this area. Looking forward for few more lessons to get the results we need for our kid.

Great understanding
Zakiy tutoring style is uniquely designed to approach individual learning differences. My son left his second session with tremendous confidence in his ability to succeed in taking the Math ACT this week.

Experienced and knowledgeable teacher.
After taking 3 sessions with Zakiy, my son gained significant confidence. He tried self-study SAT last summer but the score was way bellow from what he wanted. Zakiy teaches foundations as well as my son’s weak points effectively in each sessions. We found Zakiy’s sessions are very valuable and look forward to how the result comes out in the end of this summer!

Top notch ACT tutor- strongly recommended
My daughter had two sessions so far with Zakiy and he is indeed an expert on ACT tutoring. He is extremely knowledgeable on ACT and how to tackle ACT tests strategically. We feel we are very lucky to find him and we totally agree with all great reviews about him.
