Private Online ACT Tutoring in Calgary

If you are preparing to take the ACT, it may be a good idea to reach out to Varsity Tutors to get started with Calgary ACT tutoring. If you are planning to study in the United States, the ACT is used by many U.S. colleges and universities as a part of their admissions process. It is not the only test used and it is also not the only factor taken into account by undergraduate admissions boards. But, performing well on the ACT could improve your application to your preferred university. The ACT is divided into five sections: Math, Reading, English, Science, and Writing. Each section contains questions about different concepts, making the ACT a challenge to prepare for. If you could use some assistance as you conduct a content review for the ACT, consider an ACT tutor in Calgary.

A Calgary ACT tutor can help you prepare for each section of the ACT. The Math section is multiple-choice and has questions about subjects like coordinate and plane geometry, pre-algebra, and intermediate algebra, among others. Many students have a tough time with math for a variety of reasons. One potential reason is that previous teachers could have moved through math concepts too quickly. This isn't an issue with Calgary ACT tutoring because you can work at your own pace. If you are having trouble understanding topics in trigonometry, for example, you can spend as much time going over them as you need to before moving on to a different topic. The individualized environment afforded by ACT tutoring in Calgary also allows you to prioritize the topics you need the most help with. For example, if you are struggling with the area of triangles, you can devote most of your study time reviewing it while not spending as much time on the topics you already know.

The Reading section features passage-based questions that require you to read through passages and pull out main themes, relationships, and word and phrase meanings. Going over college-level vocabulary can be a helpful exercise when preparing for this section. While you likely know some of the featured vocabulary, there may be some words that you're not familiar with. One of the benefits of Calgary ACT tutoring is that your instructor can adapt the way they present concepts based on your learning style. If you are more of a visual learner, your instructor can provide notecards and diagrams that may be useful when studying vocabulary.

The English section examines your grasp of the English section by testing on topics like punctuation, grammar, and sentence structure. While these are all topics you should have learned in school, it can still be wise to review them with your instructor. The Science section covers subjects like physics, chemistry, and biology. Finally, the Writing section, which is optional, asks you to write an essay where you state your own perspective and analyze the connection between your perspective and at least one of the perspectives provided in the question. It may be beneficial to develop an outline on how to approach this section so that you're prepared to write on exam day.

Studying for the ACT may seem daunting because you will need to understand content from several different subject areas. It may be a challenge to find time to study for the ACT because you likely have classes and extracurricular activities at schools like William Aberhart High School or Calgary Christian High School that take up much of your time. This doesn't mean you can't fit study sessions into your schedule though because the online nature of ACT tutoring in Calgary means that you can meet with your instructor from the comfort of your own home. If you could use some guidance as you prepare for the ACT, you reach out to Varsity Tutors to connect with a Calgary ACT tutor today.
