So some people wonder what ACT math tutoring
is and what would you do with an ACT math
tutor and the goal is you would think that
the ACT covers, the math section covers everything
you've ever done in math from when you were
in first grade till now. And it turns out
that's not true. It turns out there's maybe
50 concepts that the ACT math section covers.
So what a tutor is going to do with you is
show you the concepts that the test covers.
Your tutor is going to show you exactly what's
on the test so you don't need to study everything
you've ever learned. You don't need to review
parts of Algebra II or even parts of Algebra
I that aren't on the test. So he or she is
going to show you what you need to know. Number
two, your tutor is going to show you strategies.
So not only do you want to know the concepts,
but because its a particular kind of test
with particular kinds of questions, you want
to know strategies. You want to know, you
want to basically anticipate what they're
going to ask you and how you're going to answer
it. I often say its like a football team.
You watch films of the opposite team of the
competitor so you know the plays they run.
Its the same thing you do in math tutoring
when you're with your tutor, you're basically
going to look at the plays that the ACT runs
and how you're going to handle them. And then
when you get to the test, there's going to
be no surprises because you've seen the types
of questions that they ask.
