A Grateful Parent's Review: Teachers' Exceptional Efforts Led to Significant ACT Score Increase

Review:

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible impact Tom had on my child's ACT score. His dedication and expertise played a pivotal role in boosting my child's results beyond our expectations.

From the very beginning, Tom demonstrated a genuine commitment to his success. He took the time to understand my child's strengths and weaknesses, tailoring the instruction to address specific areas of improvement. His personalized approach ensured that my child received the targeted support needed to excel in each section of the ACT.

Moreover, Tom's exceptional knowledge of the ACT exam and its nuances proved invaluable. He not only taught the core content but also shared invaluable strategies and tips for maximizing performance. His guidance helped my child develop a deeper understanding of the test format, enabling them to approach questions with confidence and efficiency.

Beyond the classroom, Tom consistently went above and beyond to provide additional resources and support. He offered supplementary materials, and practice tests, and even created a nurturing environment where my child felt comfortable asking questions and seeking clarification. His commitment to student success extended far beyond the classroom walls.

Thanks to their unwavering dedication, my child's ACT score soared to new heights. Witnessing this transformation has not only opened doors to a wider range of opportunities for my child but also instilled a newfound sense of confidence and self-belief.

I wholeheartedly recommend Tom to any parent seeking to boost their child's ACT score. His commitment, expertise, and genuine care for his students make him an invaluable asset in achieving academic success.

Thank you once again to Tom for transforming my child's ACT experience and opening doors to a brighter future.

ACT Reading

Hello, I'm Tom, an experienced language education professional with over 27 years in the field. I hold a Master's degree in Education and English Literature, and I'm TOEFL certified (Teaching English as a Second Language). Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of teaching students of all ages and levels, from beginners to advanced, and I've also excelled as a curriculum developer, school owner, and administrator. My expertise lies in understanding the process of second language acquisition and crafting engaging and effective lesson plans. Additionally, I've been a teacher trainer for 15 years, conducting workshops and training sessions for fellow educators on TakeLessons.

My commitment to delivering top-notch language instruction is unwavering, and I pride myself on being an empathetic and approachable educator who tailors lessons to each student's unique needs. I'm constantly seeking innovative ways to enhance the learning experience.

Personal Note!

I began my partnership with TakeLessons™ in 2009. My teaching style is relaxed and offers a differentiated and project-based online curriculum tailored to best fit the student's needs and schedule when possible.

As a certified English teacher in curriculum and instruction, I ensure all my lessons are personalized for each student. Previously an elementary and post-secondary teacher, my concentration was helping students reach their full potential quickly. I offer quality online instruction that allows the students to relax and take in all the information using independent practice, modeling, and recall.

ATTENTION AP/ACT/SAT  STUDENTS

The student must understand phonics and the parts of speech and sentence structure, i.e., syntax, tone, diction, use of nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, interjections, etc.

Students receive a step-by-step lesson plan or book with each lesson  The study focuses on a specific aspect of language use, e.g., life skills, literacy, or vocational and workplace English competencies. Both approaches involve teaching students basic English skills, such as listening, reading, writing, and speaking. Lessons are based on the Common Core State Standards  

• Pronunciation techniques and tips
• Independent practice for the workplace
• Quizzes, textbooks, videos, and computer lessons
• Basic communication with real-life interactions 
• Personalized Google Doc
• IProvide instant feedback! 

Classes place awareness of the students' culture and recognition of cultural differences, which might affect their ability to acclimate to their English-speaking environment. 

We discuss goals to determine interests, learning styles, and objectives, creating a lesson plan for each student.

Platforms are TakeLessons and Zoom (preferred)

Sara Gruber is an excellent teacher, she is kind, patient, punctual, and answers all questions, unfortunately she does not understand much Spanish, but she does her best to understand her students.

Today I practiced pronunciation in English even though it is difficult for me, I think Professor Sara taught me to pronounce in a way that I would never have tried studying alone or with a non-American teacher, thank you very much teacher Sara and TakeLessons.

In addition to teaching a language arts curriculum for k-12 students, I have taught university courses geared for academic preparedness in English. Genre-based study and research skills are the foundation of these courses in addition to focused grammar instruction. I have built a significant repertoire of resources for online teaching that allow me to bring the reading, writing, and grammar classroom to you.

IF A TIME IS NOT LISTED AS AVAILABLE, PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE. I CAN PROBABLY ACCOMMODATE YOU :)

Joanne is deeply knowledgeable about Excell. 

Joanne is very patient and walked me through some basic steps. I look forward to our next lesson. 

Learn how to choose the answers that the ACT is looking for!

I have 15 years previous tutoring experience in a variety of subjects such as Algebra I, English, SAT, ACT, MS Excel, MS Access, MS word, GRE, Geometry.

Overall, I have been very academically successful myself. I enjoy helping students understand difficult concepts. I am also very patient with my students and won't give up until we've accomplished our goals.

I've achieved such items as valedictorian of my high school class, National Honor Society, Who's Who Among American High School Students, Distinguished Graduate Student of the Year at Robert Morris University, Alpha Chi National Honor Society, Alpha Iota Mu Honor Society, National Dean's List, and a 4.0 GPA at the Bachelor's and Master's level.

After studying for the LSAT for nearly 1 year and seeing not much progress, I sought to alter my study routine. I was working with a tutor at the time but felt that I needed more in depth understanding of my thought process and why I continued to select the wrong answer choice. I found Simeon at a time where my best LSAT score was a 141. I explained to Simeon that I had already been studying for nearly a year and my goal was to hit at least a 150 on the actual test. 

Within weeks of tutoring sessions with Simeon, I begin PTing in May of 2024 at a 151. Then on May 21st, a 158 ( which almost gave me a heart attack :) ). On May 25th, I PT'd at 155. And on June 3rd two days before, my actual LSAT Test, my PT was a 160!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If the 158 nearly gave me a heart attack, imagine how elated I was that I had just hit my first 160?! Me - with the 141 LSAT Score lol. This was my very first time hitting a 160 after studying for almost a year. I did this after tutoring with Simeon for two months.  I scored a 151 on the June LSAT. It wasn't the 160 that I had just PT'd two days ago, but it was a point above my goal post. 

I appreciated how Simeon really helped me focus more on understanding the passages and stimuluses. He didn't use tips or tricks. He really prioritized being engaged with the passages. Simeon also taught the LSAT to me in a way that aided my comprehension of each question stem and stimulus. I think this is what set him a part from other LSAT companies and tutors. He is incredibly intelligent and is passionate about the LSAT. His passion also made me want to to do better. He was also able to connect the LSAT learning to real world experiences. This made the LSAT Learning way more experiential. It stop being just another standardized test during our sessions. This made it easier for me be more engaged in learning the materials and retaining the reason for the right answer. 

I am so grateful to Simeon for his help. He literally has changed the trajectory of my career path IN TWO MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The LSAT is already hard enough and finding a tutor who is able to meet you where you are and commit to your learning development and success is so difficult to find. Simeon is affordable, attentive, and passionate about teaching his students. I would highly recommend him.

Thank you so much, Simeon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Simeon is an impressive young man, but might have taken the teaching / tutoring as a business a little too far.   I'm not sure how to feel about charging additional fee for every minutes went overtime, or cut off the sentence because the time is up.  It's rather concerning to me. 

Simeon is amazing!! He was so accommodating and helpful. He helped me reach my goal score and I can not thank him enough.

Studying is serious business. We will write essays. We will analyze passages. We will laugh at all that is boring about standardized tests.

My paradigm as a teacher will always be to make myself progressively unnecessary.

I currently work as a professional writer and tutor. I've lived all over the United States, although I grew up in Scotland of all places. My scores on the SAT and ACT were perfect (1600 and 36 respectively), but I too had to work hard to get there, so I know what it's like when you're just starting out.

Over the years, I've studied with students suffering from ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, speech disorders, and depression; I personally grew up inured to social anxiety, so I can always empathize.

Some tutors will tell you that they know all the tricks and shortcuts. But really, there are no tricks. No shortcuts. Just hard work and sleepless nights and talking to yourself while brushing your teeth in the morning trying to remember the quadratics formula.

*****************************************************

I have a decade of experience teaching a panoply of subjects. In the sciences, that includes Biology; College Physics I (Mechanics, Elasticity, Fluids, Diffusion) and II (Electromagnetism, Circuits, Waves, Optics); Introductory Quantum Mechanics; and General Chemistry.

In Mathematics, I teach Real Analysis, Vector & Multivariable Calculus, Discrete and Finite Mathematics (Group Theory, Set Theory, Topology), Linear Algebra, and Probability & Statistics.

I absolutely love writing, of course, so I can also teach you how to write an action scene or listen to a poem.

Ms.Glenda was so fabulous as a teacher. She gave me the fundamentals of Gospel Hammond Organ for me who is a totally a beginner on Hammond Organ. I recommend her to anybody who wants to start learning Gospel music on keyboards. 

Glenda is amazing.  I love having her as my teacher.  She is patient and so helpful, and she is very skilled in coach and training through music lessons.  I'm learning to not only play my keyboard; she is also she also teaching me to read music.  Glenda is also very flexible as sometimes schedules change with work and life, and she is always very accommodating.  Also, Glenda communicates extremely well, and has an ability to make very new musical concepts and theories easier to understand.  I can't say enough good things about her.  Highly recommend.        

Learn to read quickly while increasing comprehension and retention. Strengthen essay ability, grammatical and verbal skills.

After studying at Cass Tech High School and Wayne State University in MI, I have enjoyed teaching privately, in groups, and at churches, I have performed vocally and instrumentally throughout the US and in 8 foreign countries, and taught at public, charter, and private schools.  It is important to tailor each lesson to a student's individual needs and ability to ensure that their experience is as rewarding as possible!

Sara’s tutoring has been an enormous gift for our high school senior. He was struggling with understanding his physics teacher, and Sara was able to keep him caught up in just 30-45 minutes a week! She also helped with calculus when he was struggling and his grades went from a 33 on a test to a 97! Sara is always professional, encouraging, and kind. I hope our son will be able to work with her as he continues through his astrophysics major in college. Thank you Sara! We are so grateful for your wisdom and the skill with which you share it! 

Sara is a knowledgeable, kind, and patient tutor. She assisted our daughter in grade nine math honors (Pasadena Unified) and ideally will be helping her in her future classes. Sara’s rates are also super reasonable and is vey cognizant and not wasteful of hers or students time. Most importantly our daughter is more confident in the material and math overall which has led to not only significantly higher grades but lower anxiety and more confidence in the classroom setting.

she got the answers wrong i felt like  was the  teacher also she pay's way To much 15mins for 19$ This is'nt albert einstei #dont buy#

Experienced tutor of over five years, having taught students of a variety of backgrounds and skill levels ranging from tutoring middle and high school students in algebra to college undergraduates in solid-state physics.

I am a Princeton graduate with a degree in physics and a current Caltech PhD candidate in Materials Science. I aced the SAT and ACT in high school, got a near-perfect score on the GRE, and have achieved high grades across various challenging high school and college classes. My subject-matter expertise and wide range of tutoring experience, including with international students, illustrates my ability to adapt to different student needs. I look forward to working with you to help you achieve your educational goals.

I am a Princeton graduate with a degree in physics and a Caltech PhD candidate in materials science who conducts research on solar energy-related devices. 

I have several years of tutoring experience working with students of a variety of ages, skills, and backgrounds, in subjects ranging from algebra to Python to solid-state physics as both a volunteer and a paid tutor. I have also taught international students, so I can work with students for whom English is a second language. I speak Hindi and French in addition to English. I look forward to working with you!

Absolutely amazing tutor!!!! She helped me learn strategies for CARS, B/B, and C/P that actually saved me when studying for the mcat. After working with her I felt so much more confident in myself and in taking the test, as she made everything seem so much clearer in my head. I was scoring 505s before we started working together and after a few months I got a 519 on the real thing!!!! She is sooooo easy to work with and definitely made studying for this brutal test a lot easier and simpler, so I definitely recommend for anything mcat related, whether it is strategy or content because she saved me with both!

If I could give Lauren 10,000 stars I would. She is a phenomenal tutor. Not only does Lauren have a thorough understanding of the material, she also has a thorough understanding of the MCAT. She prevented me from wasting weeks getting lost in rabbit holes that will never show up on the test. Lauren kept me focused on what I needed to cover and has the unique ability to explain the material in a simplistic way that is easy to remember. With the thousands of test prep companies and tutors available, it can be difficult to know which ones will actually be helpful. Lauren is a win. Let her sherpa you through the MCAT - you won't regret it!

I didn't realize how much I need Lauren in my life and in my MCAT studies until I took a chance on her - and it has been the greatest decision in my career. Initially, I was wary over how our lessons will pan out given that they were all going to be online. Technical issues and conveying information over online platforms were never a concern during my time with her. She was adept, flexible, and always took the time to double check my questions to make sure the correct information was being learned. She was never afraid to be serious and real with you and she is 100% there to help you achieve the goal that you set out for yourself, practically speaking and emotionally. She is my fiercest cheerleader and she's been a rock in how I've been processing the emotional and mental turmoil that is the MCAT exam. I came looking for a tutor and left with a forever friend and fierce supporter - and that, is irreplaceable.

My ample experience with this test has allowed me to see the patterns behind the ACT. Unlike traditional classroom exams, a mastery of strategy is by far more important than content: a fact far too many tutors ignore. In my lessons, I help students hone various time-saving skills, their ability to grapple with unfamiliar material (and still answer correctly!), as well as decode convoluted question stems. Additionally, I pride myself on my approachable demeanor. By fostering a supportive learning environment, I find my students more comfortable asking questions, thus leading to a level of deeper comprehension. 

Lauren prides herself on being a well-rounded mind as she has education ranging from the humanities to the hard sciences. Her initial degree was a double major in Theater and Literature from New College of Florida where she received a full-scholarship plus a merit stipend. After spending years as a professional actor in Los Angeles, she returned to school at UCLA for a post-baccalaureate degree as a pre-med and maintained a 4.0 GPA. She went on to score a 520 on the MCAT and become a full-time tutor. She teaches the MCAT, physics, chemistry, organic chemistry, and biology. She also specializes in admissions essay preparation. She is a current resident of New Orleans where she revels in community clothing swaps, crawfish boils, and being the president of her weekly Nerdy Book Club.

A VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY RUDE WOMAN!

Spoke to everyone as if they were trash!

Take lessons should have shown some ethics by refunding that money!

The student was repeatedly offended and insulted!!!!!!!
