Online Tutoring
Dear Parents,
As we navigate these unprecedented times, it is important to remember that there is indeed light at the end of this tunnel and life will eventually return to normal. Colleges will still be accepting applications, and, therefore, the ACT will remain as important as ever. Toward that end, I will now be offering private online sessions to replace (short term) and supplement (long term) face-to-face meetings. Given the unique nature of the online environment, I want everyone (parents, students, and myself) to be on the same page. Please download and print the document below. As you review the terms, please initial each and then sign at the appropriate location at the bottom of the page (along with your student).
Once the form is returned, I will contact the listed parent via phone or email to address any questions or concerns.
Payments for online session must be made via Venmo. I will keep all transactions private from my end. You can also choose to keep the transactions private from your end. Please include (1) STUDENT NAME and (2) DATE of session for each payment. For information about the Venmo service/app, please click here: https://venmo.com
Cheers,
Ken Mosier

About My Services
My philosophy is that every student can succeed at the ACT given proper instruction and sufficient practice. The first step is to stop thinking like a TEST TAKER and start thinking like a TEST MAKER. I offer instruction in empirically proven strategies for overcoming the specific organizational and time management challenges of the ACT as well as comprehensive reviews of essential knowledge.
Beyond the work assigned during the session, students are also expected to complete weekly homework that is meant to reinforce learned strategies and remediate knowledge gaps.
The number of sessions needed varies from student from student. A basic full-test strategy sequence for private one-on-one tutoring looks something like this:
English: 2 strategy sessions (plus 1 or more review/reinforcement sessions)
Reading: 1 strategy session (plus 1 or more review/reinforcement sessions)
Math: 4 strategy sessions (plus 2 or more review/reinforcement sessions)
Science: 1 strategy session (plus 1 or more review/reinforcement sessions)
Additional sessions for guided practice are highly recommended as many of the strategies I teach require time and practice to fully master.
