"Hi, I'm Mitchell! I am a junior studying Finance and Education at the University of Iowa. I scored a 35 on the ACT and was awarded the National Merit Scholar distinction on the PSAT. I have 4 years of experience in ACT/SAT prep and 3 years of experience tutoring middle school and high school students across a diverse range of subjects. I have experience tutoring in a class setting, a small group setting, and a 1-on-1 setting. I believe the key to student success is individualized instruction. I dedicate time to preparing for every single lesson, tailoring my instruction to the unique needs of each student. I can help you with ACT/SAT prep, Prealgebra, Algebra, Geometry, Precalculus, Biology, English, Reading, and Writing.

As a student, I found that the personality and skill of the instructor were what made a class enjoyable and productive. Thus, as a tutor, I take an engaging and deliberate approach to instruction. I start by introducing the topic in a fun and interesting way before moving on to direct conceptual and practical instruction. Throughout this process, I pay close attention to the student's thought process, especially how they approach practice problems. Once the student has demonstrated a strong grasp of the subject, I test for mastery using real-world practice problems. For ACT/SAT prep, I also make it a priority to impart actionable test-day advice in addition to subject mastery. Through my own experience, I know the proper mindset and testing approach can have a significant impact on your exam score.

I pride myself on meeting students at their current ability levels while still challenging them to reach their full potential. My focus is to not only help students get the correct answers but also to help them retain the underlying concepts. Most of all, I strive to instill in students a passion for learning. Someone who loves the journey will go further than someone who loves the destination. Feel free to reach out to me if you are interested in tutoring. I look forward to working with you!" less...
