Series Details

About

Hi there! In this series, I'll be going through each section of the ACT and covering tips to help you increase your score. When: meetings are on Tuesdays and Fridays with a few exceptions For each section, there will be a basic overview of content and strategies, a practice test, and a help session to discuss missed questions. At the end of the series, we'll wrap up with a full-length practice test so you can see what you've learned! This series is designed both for people who are completely new to the ACT and those who have taken it before. If you haven't taken the ACT recently, I recommend completing a full-length practice test before starting this series. This will allow you to see where you are now and what you might need to focus on improving. Here's the most recent official ACT practice test if you'd like to give it a try: https://www.act.org/content/dam/act/unsecured/documents/Preparing-for-the-ACT.pdf

Tutor Qualifications

I've earned a 36 on the ACT and have experience with ACT tutoring through my school. I took the ACT once on paper/pencil and once digitally, so I'm familiar with both formats.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Each ACT section has its own sessions, so you only need to come for the ones you need help with. Please let me know which sessions you plan to attend.
