I have been teaching ACT reading and other standardized reading tests for over ten years, both as a self-employed private tutor and for a highly regarded test prep company. I also have ten years of experience teaching reading and vocabulary at schools such as Shepherd University and Language Systems, International. However, the results I help my students achieve are what truly qualify me as an ACT reading tutor. As just one example, my most improved student on the December, 2015 ACT increased her ACT reading score 7 points (from 20 to 27) after two months of weekly online tutoring with me. [more]

I am a speed-reader, and avidly devour books in my personal life. My approach to reading on the ACT teaches students how to digest as they go and retain information under time pressure, as I teach students study habits that will aid them when studying in college. Many students struggle with speed, but I have extensive experience identifying the cause of such issues and addressing them. Adaptable, I do not believe a one-size-fits-all approach works when it comes to test prep, and I strive to meet the needs and learning styles of each individual student. [more]

The ACT Reading section focuses less on vocabulary and more on rhetorical strategies than does the Critical Reading of the SAT. I help my students choose from several possible approaches the one that best fits them. I then teach them tricks to tackling the passages with a ready ?ear,? as well as how to avoid the traps awaiting and common mistakes made by unsuspecting and incautious readers. I?ve always loved learning and sharing the joy of discovery and the thrill of a challenge with others. I find that the more a student can relate his or her own passions and experiences to a subject, the mor [more]

I have tutored several students in ACT across all four subjects. My experience has been that students tend to find the English and Reading portions slightly easier than the corresponding sections on the SAT. However, despite its name, the science section tests quick reasoning and data interpretation, not scientific knowledge per se. Most students, even those with a strong science background, experience the most time pressure on that subject. I've also advised students and parents regarding the different approaches schools take with regard to accepting scores. Many schools superscore the SAT, [more]
