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 three 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. Some resources that I will use*: The Ultimate Guide 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.) P.S I have only added the first two sessions, but will be adding all other session during the coming week or two.

Tutor Qualifications

I got a 36 on the math ACT section in July of 2022. I have a GPA of 4.0 in pre-algebra, algebra one, and geometry. I also started taking algebra 2 at the end of last year and am doing well in it. I am certified in geometry, pre-algebra, and algebra one. I am also certified or seeking certification in any other relevant math topics.

(I also used/use the courses of Princeton Review, Prepscholar, and Kaplan in preparing for ACT math, in addition to books like the Ultimate Guide to ACT Math, so I have a comprehensive understanding of all the topics that should be covered.)

✋ 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.

About the Tutor

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.
