Miami ACT Tutoring FAQ
Students who are getting ready to take the ACT can benefit from working with a private instructor, and Varsity Tutors can find you the best Miami ACT tutors who are well equipped to help you work towards your goals. Private instruction offers students the opportunity to focus on the aspects of the ACT that can benefit them most, and we can connect you to an instructor who can provide structured guidance that assists you in identifying which topics you need to brush up on most urgently.
What are the benefits of working with Miami ACT tutors near me?
Traditional classroom instruction has some downsides. To address the learning goals of a large set of students, teachers must necessarily go over a wide range of material - in the case of the ACT, math, reading, writing, English, and science - and it's likely that individual students struggle in some of these areas but are well prepared for others. Being forced to study all of these subjects equally can result in time wasted reviewing subjects that you already understand, making for inefficient use of study time. Teachers also have to use methods that appeal to the broadest possible set of students, which can leave some individuals out in the cold.
Miami ACT tutoring, on the other hand, has no such restrictions. A tutor can take a look at your current level of preparation, evaluate your strengths and weaknesses as an individual, and develop a study plan that addresses your unique concerns. If you're a strong writer and the Writing section of the ACT doesn't intimidate you in the least, then a tutor can use the time that would otherwise be spent needlessly practicing composition elsewhere for focusing on math and science concepts like biology, chemistry, algebra, geometry, and the like.
Miami ACT tutors can use teaching methods that appeal to you, too. If you're a visual learner, they can lean into visually oriented instructional techniques and help you put together sets of flashcards for you to use to memorize ACT concepts, for example, and employ graphs, flowcharts, and other pictorial aids. Or if you're an auditory learner, Miami ACT tutors can place the emphasis on conversational learning by engaging you in back-and-forth dialogues that present information in a format that's amenable to your natural learning style.
The flexibility offered by Miami ACT tutoring allows you to work at your own pace as well. The pressures of a classroom require teachers to stick to a firm schedule, which can lead you to have to move on to new concepts before you've fully grasped the subject that you're currently working on. Private instructors can take the time to review difficult material until you feel you're prepared to face the ACT.
What kinds of material can I study with Miami ACT tutors?
As already mentioned, the ACT is split into either four or five subjects, depending on whether you take the ACT or the ACT Plus Writing, which adds an essay component. The Math section will provide you with 60 minutes to answer 60 questions. You'll have to show your understanding of a range of fundamental mathematical concepts like numerical reasoning, solving inequalities, graphing expressions, the properties of geometric shapes, and much more. Miami ACT tutors can drill you with math problems to help you discover misunderstandings and work through equations faster, so you can save valuable time.
The Reading and English sections are somewhat similar to each other, but have different focuses. The Reading section places the emphasis on reading comprehension and critical analysis. You'll have to show your ability to identify the themes and arguments of passages, differentiate between facts and opinions, make connections between texts, and understand how words and phrases are used in context. You'll have 35 minutes to answer 40 questions, here. The English section, on the other hand, will test you primarily on your knowledge of English usage and grammar. You'll be expected to answer questions on stylistic choices made by the writer, and the structure and cohesion of passages. For the English section, you'll be given 45 minutes to answer 75 questions. Miami ACT tutors can work through sets of sample passages alongside you and show you what you can expect to see on the test, as well as for common trick questions to look out for.
The Science section intends to evaluate your problem-solving and analytical skills. Beyond being tested on the physical sciences, like chemistry, physics, Earth science, and the like, you'll also have to show an understanding of how to read and use scientific data. You'll have to apply the scientific method to examples of experiments and scientific investigations. You'll have 35 minutes to answer 40 questions on the Science section. Miami ACT tutors can demonstrate to you how if you have a well-developed sense of how to analyze data and apply it to multiple-choice questions, you don't have to worry as much about having memorized the wealth of scientific material that the test covers.
Finally, if you're taking the ACT Plus Writing, you'll have to compose an essay. The Writing section will supply you with 40 minutes to read a prompt and write a response. You'll be given an issue and three different perspectives on that topic, and will have to describe your own views on the issue and synthesize a response that puts the provided perspectives, as well as your own perspective, in conversation with each other. If you're worried about your ability to perform under pressure on the exam, Miami ACT tutoring can teach you how to rapidly develop an outline for your essay, so you can formulate your thoughts before you begin writing and compose a well-structured piece of work.
