Many colleges and universities still want applicants to have great ACT scores. For over 16 years, Natalie’s ACT tutoring has included complete test preparation for all sections of the ACT, including the new enhanced digital ACT. I use official practice materials and other trusted resources during lessons. Her most recent student raised his ACT Math score from a 27 to a 34 after just 8 lessons, for a composite score of 35!
ACT English
Students need to understand and recognize correct grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure to score well in this section. We target concept knowledge and skill application as part of their test prep.
ACT Reading
Since this section has four passages of varying length, Natalie drills students through key question types and testing strategies to strengthen their reading comprehension, analytical skills, and time management.
ACT Math
The ACT Math section has a diversified mixture of advanced math problems. Students go through a complete concept review based on their performance in practice material, as well as an analysis of their mistakes and how to avoid similar mistakes in the future.
Tutoring includes:
Study plan based on previous ACT score results or initial practice test scores
Complete review of ACT concepts and strategies with targeted practice
Weekly feedback on student progress and homework completion (available for all sections)
Timed practice sets and mock practice tests
FAQ about Natalie’s test prep
Do you offer a full test prep program or classes?
No, I do not offer programs or classes. My lessons are one-on-one and adapt to the needs of every student, based on where they are at in their test prep and how much support they need.
What does a typical lesson with you look like?
I help my students not only get to the right answer, but also understand how they got to the right answer and what makes it correct. They also learn how to methodically approach questions and answers. By understanding how a test works and how the testmakers have created the questions, students can better learn how to take that test with minimal stress and maximum success.
Can you guarantee a score increase on the actual test?
No, as a tutor, I cannot make any guarantees when it comes to scores and reaching score goals. Students must be fully committed to their study plans, daily practice goals, and using the strategies they learn for them to make significant progress in their test prep.
How many lessons will my child need?
I cannot provide an estimate for the total number of lessons without more information or meeting the student. Some students need more support, while others need less. Ideally, test preparation should start as early as possible before a test date, at least 2-3 months. To start, I always ask for practice test results or previous test results to help me see where we need to focus the most. I also ask about what test prep, if any, a student has done so far and what their specific test score goals are.
Student Reviews
“Very organized and methodical tutor who gets results. Natalie is a fantastic tutor! She helped my student prepare for the math section of the ACT in a very thorough and focused way. Natalie quickly identified the concepts that needed additional review and targeted her sessions and homework assignments accordingly, checked in between tutoring sessions, and sent additional assignments to help hone in on remaining challenge areas. I really appreciated her clear and very timely communication. She’s been a great pleasure to work with!”
