About

Are you feeling nervous or underprepared for the math section of your upcoming ACT test? This course is designed for those who are planning to take the ACT test on the 10th of December or later ( but even if you're taking it at an earlier date and would just like to cover whatever topics you have the chance to before thest, you are welcome to join). Over the next three months, we will meet weekly to discuss all of the important math concepts and strategies you need to do well on the ACT. Every session, we will tackle a few topics. We will revise them and solve some practice questions. I will also be taking any unrelated math questions you might have at the end of every session. I also plan to adapt the course and the time allocated to each topic based on the needs of the students. Some resources that I will use*: The Ultimate Gudie to ACT Math, The Official ACT Prep Guide 2022-2023, 500 ACT Math Questions to Know by Test Day, 3rd Edition. *This list is subject to change as I get to learn what the students need more of.

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.

We will get to know each other and I will learn about your background in math and any prior studying you might have done for the ACT. We will also discuss some main points about the ACT math section. Finally, I will ask you several math questions (especially from pre-algebra) to help me know what your weaknesses are.

ALGEBRA I The general plan is to discuss algebra 1 topics during this week and the one following it. As I previously mentioned my plan is flexible and I hope to adapt it to meet my students' needs. For example, we might be able to go through Algebra I faster if they all seem strong in its topics. On the other hand, if I notice that the students need to spend more time on Algebra I, we might continue it in our fifth session or I might add another session between the ones already scheduled. The topics I plan to cover: - solving linear equations - solving inequalities - solving systems of linear equations
