Albuquerque ACT Tutoring FAQ

If you have a student who is getting ready to take the ACT, Varsity Tutors can connect you with the best Albuquerque ACT tutors who have the skills and experience necessary to help your student pursue success on the ACT. The ACT is a standardized test used by colleges to evaluate applicants, so the exam can have an impact on your student's academic future. For this reason, it's important that they be well-prepared for the test, and Albuquerque ACT tutors can guide your student through a comprehensive review of all the subjects covered by the ACT.

What are the advantages of Albuquerque ACT tutoring?

Your student will study with Albuquerque ACT tutors one-on-one, which can give them opportunities that they wouldn't have access to in a standard classroom-based test prep course. The very format of group courses requires teachers to adopt a generalized teaching style, and this effort to accommodate the class as a whole can leave individual students out in the cold. They also have to stick to a preconfigured class schedule, which means if your student falls behind or, alternately, already understands a topic and would like to get ahead of the class, they may not be well-served by a teacher.

Albuquerque ACT tutoring offers a way around these problems. Your student can receive instruction that accounts for their individuality as a learner and a customized curriculum that's designed around their strengths and weaknesses. Their mentor can evaluate their current level of readiness for the ACT and then put together a study plan that seeks to use their prep time efficiently, by skimming through subjects that they already have a solid grasp on and placing the emphasis on topics that they struggle with. If they're a math whiz but need to spend extra effort polishing their writing skills, for example, their instructor can allocate time appropriately. Your student can work at their own pace, so they won't be forced to move on to new topics before they're ready to.

Albuquerque ACT tutors can adjust their teaching methods to suit your student's personal learning style, too. Most students find certain modes of instruction to be particularly helpful when studying, and can benefit from instruction that caters to their natural preferences. If your student is a visual learner, say, their mentor can incorporate flashcards, diagrams, flowcharts, and other pictorial aids into their teaching. If they're more of an aural student, their instructor can engage them in conversational study sessions. As a tutor gets to know your students, they can tailor their approach as needed to offer him or her an optimized learning experience.

What kinds of material can Albuquerque ACT tutors near me help my student study?

The ACT is broken up into four main sections - five if your student is planning to take the ACT Plus Writing. We'll give a brief overview of the exam here, so you can get a sense of what your student is up against and how Albuquerque ACT tutoring can benefit them.

The Math section of the ACT gives students 35 minutes to answer 40 math questions. These questions will draw on pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Students will have to be well-versed in numeric reasoning, graphing and modeling expressions, manipulating geometric shapes, data analysis, and more in order to excel on the Math portion of the test. Albuquerque ACT tutors can go over the math concepts that your student is struggling with and present them in a variety of ways to help your student come to grips with them, and can also provide advice on how to take advantage of the multiple-choice format of the exam to rule out incorrect answers and deduce a proper solution.

The Reading section will ask students to respond to 75 questions in 45 minutes. The focus of this section is reading comprehension, so students will be provided with sets of passages which they'll have to read, analyze, and draw conclusions from. Students will have to identify the central arguments and themes of these passages, discern relationships between them, differentiate between fact and authorial opinion, and determine the meanings of words and phrases according to their context. Albuquerque ACT tutors can go over sample ACT passages with your student and show them how to identify the main tenets of a written text. They can also help them develop test-taking strategies to improve their reading speed and accuracy, such as by skimming a passage, looking over the related questions, and then returning to the text for a closer look before filling in answers.

The English section is similar to the Reading section, in that students will again face passage-based questions, and will again have 45 minutes to answer 75 questions. However, here the emphasis will be placed on English usage and linguistic prowess. Students will have to comment on sentence structure and grammatical conventions, as well as how passages are organized and structured. Albuquerque ACT tutors can drill your student on common grammatical forms that they can see on the ACT and tricky punctuation-related questions that they can run into.

The Science section allows 35 minutes to answer 40 questions. This section will ask students to show their proficiency with physical sciences like chemistry, biology, Earth science, and physics. Students will have to use their knowledge of these disciplines in concert with their understanding of the scientific method to provide answers. Although these topics are broad, and your student may be intimidated by the quantity of material they feel they have to review, Albuquerque ACT tutoring can teach them how strong data analysis can take them far in the Science section, and is often more important than subject-specific information.

If your student is taking the ACT Plus Writing, they'll also have to compose a timed essay on the Writing section. Here students are given 40 minutes to read three perspectives on an issue and then write an essay that states their own view on that issue and puts it into conversation with these provided perspectives. Writing under time pressure is difficult to begin with, and even more so in a high-stakes testing environment, but Albuquerque ACT tutors can supply your student with relaxation techniques to help them stay calm and focused so they can put their best foot forward. They can give your student sample prompts, assess their work, and mark opportunities for improvement to help your student hone their abilities.

How can my student meet with Albuquerque ACT tutors near me?

Albuquerque ACT tutoring is provided both online and in person. Online instruction offers convenience, as your student can meet with their mentor from any location where they have access to the internet and a compatible digital device. This allows them to work somewhere where they feel comfortable and free of distractions, whether that's your home, a favorite coffee shop, or a library like the Tony Hillerman Library or Ernie Pyle Library. All remote study is facilitated by our Live Learning Platform, which includes integrated video chat software that lets your student see and speak with their mentor just as if they were seated at a table together.

The platform also includes a variety of built-in instructional utilities that can make learning easy. There's a virtual whiteboard for sketching out geometry problems and diagramming the structures of English passages and analyzing sentence-level grammar, a shared document editor that your student can use to practice composing ACT essays, and more. Perhaps most importantly, the Live Learning Platform automatically records all study sessions, so your student can return to previous lessons to refresh their memory or review concepts that they haven't fully grasped.
