ACT Writing and ACT Reading tutor

About Li-ying

My name is Liying and I enjoy teaching students of all ages. I graduated from Denison University in 2013 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications and Creative Writing. I have gained thorough knowledge in Math, English, and Information Technology via the experiences I have had in tutoring students at elementary, middle school, high school, and college levels all over the world. In particular, I have worked extensively with students to develop and hone their writing skills for tests, college application essays, and academic papers. I also specialize in test preparation for the SAT and ACT. With these 2 exams in particular, I provide students with many practice questions and guide them with effective test-taking strategies to help them ace the exams. Many of my current students have attained scholarship to Harvard University and Yale University. When tutoring math, I have several different techniques that cater to a variety of students, but overall, I like to keep concepts simple and fun to learn. Repetition, flash cards, worksheets and practice tests are my main materials for helping students learn. My tutor sessions typically start with going over the student's current coursework, where they are struggling, and most importantly what they expect from me. From there, it is critical to plan out an organized schedule that will lead the student down the best path of success. I look forward to working with all of you and supporting you in your own journey of discovery!
