ACT/SAT Tutoring
About
I've been tutoring since 2013, mostly focusing on ACT and SAT prep. I achieved a 36 on the ACT and a 2270 on the SAT, while also becoming a National Merit Finalist. I've helped dozens of students meet and exceed their goals on these college prepatory exams, some even increasing their ACT scores by as many as 8 points. I also served as a tutor and teacher's assistant in college for a variety of courses in the economical, financial, and mathematical fields. I have recently become certified in ESL training and I want to use my passion of helping others to lead you to excel in your academic pursuits
I enjoy the look on a student's face when they first understand a new concept.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I first want to ask the student what their specific goals are in receiving tutoring. After creating a guideline for how to efficiently achieve those goals, I'll provide study materials (if the student does not already have some) and we will work through the materials, so I can gauge the student's strengths and weaknesses in the subject matter. Sessions after this will include the student working through materials beforehand and us going over the material together, along with any questions the student may have.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have received a bachelor's degree in Economics, Finance, Math, and Management Information Systems, along with a minor in Chinese from Baylor University. I have tutored since 2013 and served as a college tutor and teacher's assistant at Baylor.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I generally charge $35/hour for 1-on-1 sessions, and $25/hour per person for multiple students
How did you get started teaching?
My mom was a public school teacher and I first started teaching by assisting her students through tutoring. Afterwards, they referred their friends to me, and I continued tutoring.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Be prepared to learn a lot very quickly. I generally like to keep my sessions efficient so the students don't feel like they're using too much extra time to learn the material. My job is to simplify the process, not complicate it.
