ACT test prep work is not anything I naturally thought I 'd be carrying out when I "grew up". Though someone or some test may have told me I could be a teacher some day , I really found school quite mundane as well as intimidating and couldn't wait to get out. Little did I have an idea that about 20 years later I would have a bunch of education and a great deal of skills to help students dominate with test preparation .
Returning to Cincinnati after being a extremely successful private tutor in South Florida , I gradually built up my tutoring circuit to now have had about 800 students total. I think the secret is having a
system. Since students more easily lose focus today than in yesteryear , they often lose track of what they are really looking for, make careless errors, or don't break problems down properly. All this is
completely preventable.

Sure, there are difficult questions on standardized tests like the SAT and ACT, but one can still miss one or two questions and still get a perfect score. I tell my students that if we can learn the techniques that have helped my students into the 99th percentile, then we can worry about the last 1 %. Critical thinking is huge.
I share here a bit about how this happened and how I believe I can help student get ready for their exams, whether we at the 5 percentile mark or the 95 percentile mark, if we work together.
Is there some secret to making this all work? I think not. If we really focus on following the program in our ACT and SAT prep, we can be successful in Loveland, Ohio, or anywhere else.
I'm really excited to share some live streaming in a recent youtube series. You can check out the intro here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=bn3XuXXd51c
