I constantly read and analyze passages swiftly and efficiently as I am now an E... nglish major in college with a GPA of 3.64. I am highly qualified to help students to improve their score on the ACT Reading section.read more

Hello! I'm Melissa. I'm a voracious reader, so naturally I'm an English major in college. I love to help students get to that moment where an idea clicks into place for them and a whole new world open... s up to them because of it. I feel very passionately about making education as accessible as possible. One of the ways I like to do that is to share all the tips and tricks I've learned over the years with other students. I like to help students dive headfirst into the challenge as I believe this is the best way to learn. I think you need to directly confront what you're struggling with or else you'll have time to talk yourself out of really trying to learn more. I believe all tutoring is like teaching someone to ride a bike: You should let go as soon as they're ready, which is always sooner than they believe. I also practice positive reinforcement in my tutoring as I think reprimanding a student for being incorrect or unsure hurts more than it helps them in the long run.read more
