Help Your High Schooler Achieve Their Best ACT Score with Expert Tutoring

Most students should wait until they have completed Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II or they are currently taking Algebra II. Students also receive the best results when they have the TIME to devote to prep. While extracurriculars are important and have their place, one cannot give prep the last priority and hope to hit their goal or raise their score several points by not making the prep and the work involved a priority. A student who gives minimal effort will not achieve maximum results. Dripping out prep and using a “drop in” approach does not fit my business model. Prep offered by Mindful Solutions is prepared ahead of time; it is personalized and tailored to your students’ needs. Furthermore, every student is given a PLAN for SUCCESS and IMPROVEMENT which cannot be achieved by “dropping in” when there is time or catching a few hours the week of the exams. I often book out ahead of time. Plan in advance.

When I started Mindful Solutions, my goal was to provide individualized test prep to students who needed more than an overview workshop. Often, students have unique needs that can only be addressed in a 1:1 setting where I can get to know the student as a learner and as an individual for his/her/their strengths and weaknesses. While I work with students from all backgrounds, I also have specialized training in helping students who have ADHD/ADD, test anxiety, and other needs thanks to my background in curriculum, assessments, and years of teaching in the classroom. Therefore, you get a TEACHER, not just someone looking to do this as a side gig. When you book with me, you get ME, not someone else. This makes the quality of prep consistent. Because this is literally all I do, I am very current on the content and strategies for the most recent tests and questions. Being an active member in the National Test Prep Association (NTPA), I receive monthly professional development to further hone my skills and to grow my toolbox of methods and strategies along with access to unique resources not available to non-members, which also ensures a higher likelihood of an increase in scores. At Mindful Solutions, there is no “one size fits all.”

From time to time, I do work with schools to provide local, in-person workshops and offer virtual workshops in small groups less than 20 to maintain higher quality of instruction.

Due to the uncertainty of standardized testing and different learning styles—not to mention that a myriad of things can happen on test day beyond my control or beyond the student’s control like sickness or proctor errors—I do not guarantee a particular increase. Generally, success is based on how much prep a student has had and if that student completes all homework and outside practice work while also making a mindful effort to learn from mistakes and my professional feedback. Generally, through 2024, around 93% of my students saw an increase in their composite scores. Most students see anywhere from 2-12 points in any given section. How much a student raises their score depends on numerous factors throughout the process.

Come to each session prepared with all necessary materials; complete all homework assignments outside of tutoring sessions; be an active participant in the tutoring sessions, answering and asking questions when applicable; review course content and notes weekly; contact the tutor at least 24 hours in advance if any session needs to be cancelled or rescheduled (cancellations under 24 hours may be billed if they are not able to be rescheduled and no-show appointments are billed in full).

Contact tutor with any questions regarding student progress (generally, weekly progress notes are given); discuss current homework assignments and upcoming appointment dates with the student; confirm your payment method/schedule with the tutor prior to the first meeting; contact the tutor at least 24 hours in advance if any session needs to be cancelled or rescheduled (cancellations under 24 hours may be billed if they are not able to be rescheduled and no-show appointments are billed in full).

Provide necessary materials, study resources, and practice opportunities; teach/review all relevant content and strategies; give weekly assignments; review weekly assignments with the student; monitor student progress from session-to-session; communicate with the parent and student regarding any concerns in a timely manner; contact the parent if a student misses a scheduled meeting or cancels outside of the 24-hour cancellation period.
