About

This course is designed specifically for students planning to take the ACT test and want to work on the math skills they need for it. However, students who need to revise some topics for school or are planning to take the SAT can also benefit from the course. Over the next few months, we will meet weekly to discuss all of the important math concepts and strategies you need to do well on the ACT. In every session, we will tackle a few topics. We will revise them and solve some practice questions. I will also be taking any math questions you might have throughout the session. I plan to adapt the course and the time allocated to each topic based on the needs of the students.
_____________________________________________

The course will be divided into parts; each part will be placed in its corresponding subworld:

1. Pre-Algebra

2. Algebra 1

3. Geometry

4. Statistics & Probability

5. Algebra 2

6. Pre-calculus

_____________________________________________

RESOURCES I USE:

-The Ultimate Guide to ACT Math (1 and 2)

- The Official ACT Prep Guide 2022-2023

- 500 ACT Math Questions to Know by Test Day, 3rd Edition, Geometry Common Core.

- The Official ACT Mathematics Guide

(This list is subject to change as I get to learn what the students need more of.)

FEEDBACK

Some of the feedback I got on my previous ACT Math courses:

"The practice questions were just what I needed, also the tutor was very engaging."

"Very good and thorough explanations."

"super organized and good explanations."

part of a peer review: "Excellent explanations! You went over each concept in detail and thoroughly explained how to solve the problems. You not only explained how to find the correct answer but also why a certain approach makes sense. "

_____________________________________________

Note: I already completed parts I (pre-algebra) and II (algebra I) in previous courses. I am sorry for the pause between the previous two courses and this one. I had intended to have No gaps between them, but due to school exams, college applications, and some health issues I face, I found that a small break was necessary. Hopefully, this will not happen again as I plan to start part IV as soon as we complete part III. If anybody would like me to go over some concepts from algebra I or algebra II again, let me know, and I can arrange specific sessions for that.

I am a senior who values education and enjoys learning and teaching! I am Jordanian, but I attend an international school in Saudi Arabia. My favorite subject at school is biology though chemistry and math are close seconds. I had a GPA of 4.0 in my junior year including an A+ in Math, which included Algebra II and Calculus. I ranked first in my junior year (my school had about 200 junior students). I have taken the ACT test twice and scored a 34 in the first trial and a 35 in the second. I have a super score of 36! I also self-studied AP Biology in 2022 and scored a 5 on the AP Biology test. However, when my school started a 2-year AP Biology program last year, I joined it because of my love for biology (and it was the most challenging biology course being offered at my school). In 2023, I took an AP Chemistry course offered by Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth because my school does not offer AP Chemistry. I received an A in the course and a 5 on the AP test! I have also taken an "Introduction to Epidemiology" course offered by UC San Diego in which I received an A+. I also worked on a research project with the International Research Institute of North Carolina. As to English proficiency, in addition to attending international schools since kindergarten, I have scored 119/120 on the TOEFL test in 2023. I have been tutoring at Schoolhouse for over a year now and have enjoyed tutoring and learned greatly from my experience. I hope to continue sharing my knowledge and helping others during my senior year.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Attending all or almost all of the sessions is highly recommended, especially if you plan to depend on our sessions as the main resource in supplementing your ACT preparation You are, however, free to skip any sessions you don't want to attend or join only on sessions where we discuss the topics that you struggle with the most.

SESSION 1

Triangles

Triangles

Thu 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM UTCMar 7, 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM UTC

In this session, we will start with geometry. The ideas we will discuss in this session are - angles and lines - triangles (area formulas you need to know, Pythagorean theorem, special right triangles, and trigonometry)

We will solve ACT-style practice questions and I will answer any math- or ACT-related questions you might have.

Circles
Circles tend to be a vast and intimidating topic to many students, but do not worry. In this session, we will discuss all the details you might need to know about arcs, angles, sectors, and more when it comes to circles. I will explain to you the formulas you need memorize and the theorems you need to remember. As always, we will do ACT-style practice questions on the concepts discussed, and I encourage you to ask questions anytime during the session.

Polygons
In this session, we will discuss polygons. The good news is that you probably know much of what we will discuss in this session. The better news is that in this session I will help you remember the different polygons and their properties as well as the formulas related to finding their areas and angle sizes! We will also work through ACT-style practice questions to ensure that you are prepared for the ACT tests and its sometimes convoluted questions. I welcome any questions you might have thought the session.

Midpoints, Distances, & Slopes
In this session, we will discuss drinking midpoints of line segments. We will also discuss finding midpoints, distances, and slopes in the coordinate plane. Nothing too complicated in this session! You will have the chance to test your understanding with some ACT-style practice questions and I will walk you through any questions you find difficult, so know how to tackle such questions in the future. As always, your questions are very welcome!

Review & Practice
Congratulations on completing this part of the course! We will conclude the course with a review of the important concepts we discussed and a collection of geometry ACT-style questions that will help you test your understanding and identify your areas of weakness. I will answer any questions you might have too.

Thank you for joining me on this month-and-a-half journey, and I hope to see you in the next part—Statistics & Probability.
