The Complete ACT Course (prat II: Algebra I)
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.

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, geometry, and algebra 2, and calculus. I am taking AP Calculus AB this year. I am certified in geometry, pre-algebra, and algebra 1. I am gaining certification in any other relevant math topics. I have already taught this course twice before and gained experience in teaching the material and insight on how to improve it.
(I also used 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.)

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. "
