ACT Reading Tutoring for 45 Minutes

30


30 per session - Virtual OK - Posted Jun 03, 2017

***AVAILABLE FOR MEETING UP IN NASHVILLE AND MEMPHIS, TN ONLY--ALL VIRTUAL SERVICES MUST USE SKYPE OR FACETIME FOR FULL BENEFITS***

After we come to an agreement concerning this service, I will send you an email containing fewer than 20 questions that have similar formatting to the Reading portion of the ACT Test. After you complete answering these questions, we will have our scheduled 45-minute appointment and check your answers then. We will review whatever questions you miss in detail so that you understand how to find the correct answer in the future. I will also go over some helpful strategies and tips for conquering the Reading portion as well as the ACT Test in general.

I know what it's like to struggle with a subject. I have always loved reading and writing, but I have sobbed over math homework. With my parents' personal help and support, I worked hard to pull up my Science score on the ACT when I was in high school. I am not here to judge you for where you stand now. I just want to help others feel the relief and pride one feels when they have reached the score they've dreamed of. :]

Training & Qualifications


In high school, I took the ACT Test five different times in one year, pulling up my 26 composite score to a 31. In English, I made a perfect 36 score on my final test, and I made a 34 in Reading.

I began my job at a tutoring center in January 2017. In addition to helping children become literate through the Wilson Reading System (designed especially to help other with dyslexia and other learning disabilities), I work one-on-one with lots of high schoolers to boost their ACT test scores, as well as their confidence, in English, Reading, and Writing.

I also worked as an English 1010/1020 instructor and as a Center for Writing and Communications tutor for the University of Memphis for the 2016-2017 academic year.

Availability & Preferences


I am usually free in the evenings/at night on weekdays and free during the day on weekends. Lately, I've been pretty flexible though, so just hit me up!

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

About Abby Smith

I want to work for the welfare and happiness of others. Whether I work in education, publishing, non-profit, retail, or any other kind of career, I want to use my skills to benefit my community and th...e world at large. Currently, I'm a graduate student on track to earn my MFA in Creative Writing, as well as a certificate in Women's and Gender Studies. I frequently switch between living at home in Nashville and living in Memphis for school and my tutoring job. I have already completed two years of grad school, where I gained a year of experience as an instructor at the collegiate level. I also worked as an Online Editor for a year for a super cool literary journal called The Pinch. I also served as the Department of English's Social Media Graduate Assistant for the 2015-2016 academic year. In my work as a tutor, I typically work with kids ranging from 5 to 19. With younger kids, I usually work on developing their literacy through the Wilson Reading System, which is designed especially to help people with dyslexia and other learning disabilities. I also help older students stay on top of their studies, helping them with homework and reading comprehension. My "specialties" are essay writing (at all levels) and ACT Test Prep for English, Reading, and Writing. Although I have more older (middle/high school) than younger students at the moment, I really love children, babies especially. I have many hours of experience volunteering at a NICU in a Nashville hospital, and I never get tired of babysitting. Beyond that, I love cartoons, naps, and sweets. My most common fashion aesthetic lately seems to be "comfy and colorful." I just got an Audible account in March and have been obsesssed ever since. I also love listening to podcasts such as "Welcome to Night Vale" and "The Black Tapes." I'm almost caught up with "Tanis" as well if anyone wants to talk about what's happening now! ;Dshow more
