Decatur, IL ACT Tutors

Description: Are you struggling with the ACT or SAT, or are you looking for a bit of a boost on your scores to gain an edge with college admissions? In that case, I believe I can help you out: I'm Katarina, a high school senior who scored both a 36 on my ACT and 2400 on my SAT in 2014. Only a handful of students in the entire nation accomplish a perfect score on both tests each year, but practicing specific strategies and keeping in mind certain tips can dramatically improve performance. As a student who recently took these tests, I understand the typical problems high school students encounter on these tests and how to resolve them. Scoring highly on the ACT or SAT doesn't reflect inherent intelligence or makes one a child prodigy: it simply demonstrates how good one is at taking the ACT and SAT, and I believe anyone can do well with the correct approach. Proof of scores can be provided upon request. A complimentary "tips" packet will be provided with the first tutoring session. I can also provide advice on how the two tests compare and which one you or your child should take- contrary to popular belief, the ACT and SAT are not equivalent at all, and each suits different types of students better. I have practice tests and prep books that the tutee and I can use, but I can also work with books that you bring yourself if you prefer them. Please contact me with any questions or additional information about locations and pricing. 

Availability: Please contact me for availability. During the summer and on holidays, I am available any day of the week as long as I am not traveling; during the school year, I can tutor after school most days (after 2:30 P.M.) or on weekends.      << View Less

Description: Hi! My name is Tricia. I have a about 5 years of experience tutoring over 80 students from elementary to college age. I'm currently a practicing engineer at a medical device company and tutor in my free time. It's something I truly love to do, there's nothing better than witnessing the "light bulb" moment.

Through participating in a biomedical engineering curriculum, I learned to critically think about different subjects and how they relate to each other, which I use to tutor and help students understand. I also aim to instill critical thinking techniques when teaching, allowing students to move away from memorization and towards logical thinking and problem solving, which in turn helps them retain the information and score better on exams.

When tutoring I try to incorporate a comfortable and fun environment to promote learning. I feel that the more comfortable one is when learning, the more beneficial the lesson will be. I try to build my students' confidence in order for them to feel comfortable asking questions and communicating their weaknesses. In this way I try to direct my teaching to each student's learning style and learning rate. I also try to promote good organization and study techniques, which I feel are important in order to focus one's attention and provide for clearer thinking.

I am confident that my experience will be well suited for your goals. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I hope to hear from you soon and help you in your success!      << View Less

Description: GradePower's programs approaches learning in a fundamentally different way that goes beyond tutoring.

Description: Our tutoring services are structured as follows:

• Homework Help –Our students are not just given the answers to their homework questions – we show them how to work out the problems and re-teach the concepts if necessary. Our teaching style is personalized, friendly but firm.
• Enrichment – Students who are already proficient in the material for their current grade level are given advanced lessons that could be at least a grade level ahead. The academic enrichment component of the program ensures that learning is always taking place.
• Remedial – Students who have difficulty learning their concepts in the classroom for whatever reason get the intervention they need to catch up on their lessons.

TEST PREP for Grades K-12, College and Graduate School To prepare our students for these all-important tests, we teach them the content of the tests to mastery and also the most effective test-taking strategies that will maximize their scores.
