Thomas, a master tutor, graduated from Rutgers in 2014, earning his B.A. in mathematics has been teaching/tutoring students since his junior year at Rutgers University. He has worked with students from 3rd grade through 12th grade. He currently works at Cedar Grove High School where he teaches honors geometry, algebra II, and pre-calculus. Math has always been a subject he's enjoyed teaching because although it looks intimidating, it can be so simple when taught properly. One of his great enjoyments is seeing that "light bulb," moment when a student understands a concept and begins to challenge him or herself. He always encourages his students to ask questions and never wants them to be afraid to admit they do not understand something. He loves being able to build connections with his students and find out what they like outside of the classroom. In addition to teaching and tutoring, Thomas also coaches girls soccer and spring track. Sports were a big part of his life growing up and he greatly enjoys being able to share his knowledge with his athletes.

ACT Test Format

The ACT consists of four multiple- choice tests: English, mathematics, reading, and science. The ACT with writing includes the four multiple-choice tests and a writing test. A student’s composite ACT score is the average of the student’s scaled scores for the four multiple-choice test sections. Example: If a student scored a 24 English, 28 Math, 26 Reading, and 23 Science, his composite ACT score would be (24 + 28 + 26 + 23)/4 = 25.25, which is rounded down to a 25.

Scoring for the Writing Test

  • Two readers read and score each student’s writing test essay. Essays are scored holistically (i.e., based on the overall impression your essay makes).
  • Each reader gives the essay a score ranging between a 1 and a 6, with 6 being the highest possible score. The two scores are added together to get a student’s Writing sub-score, which can range between a 2 and a 12, with 12 being the highest possible score. If the two readers’ scores differ by more than one point, a third reader will be called in to resolve the disagreement.
  • A student’s English score and Writing sub-score are scaled to create a student’s Combined English/Writing score. The English score accounts for 2/3 of the Combined score while the Writing score accounts for the remaining 1/3.  A student’s Combined English/Writing score will range between a 1 and a 36, with 36 being the highest possible score.
  • Neither the Writing sub-score nor the Combined English/Writing score affects a student’s composite ACT score. Instead, they serve as stand-alone scores that appear on a student’s score report.

My son, a junior in high school, has been receiving tutoring with Teacher Tutors for the last year. He has struggled with math since elementary school and we have used many different tutors over years with varying degrees of success. Teacher Tutors recommended/provided an exceptional tutor, who has helped my son master skills and gain confidence in pre-calc, a very difficult subject for many. He has improved more than 2 full letter grades since we began. Working with this company has been very e…

Teacher Tutors were lifesavers.  Very flexible and accommodating.  My son was out of school for few days and Teacher Tutors kept him up to date and even got him to do his first extra credit assignment!

Teacher Tutors provided such wonderful service. The first tutor was wonderful and really made an impact. It seemed really important to the tutor that my daughter understood the material. As my daughter put it “She made it so simple to understand”. Preparing her for her upcoming state exams was very important to our family to ensure she gets the most out of her education. I am happy to say she has excelled in school thanks to Teacher Tutors!

We have been very pleased with the tutoring that our son has received through Teacher Tutor.  Debbie paired our son up with a tutor that has an excellent resume, clearly loves what she does, and is sincerely interested in our son’s success.  Initially, we thought the whole process of test prep would be a battle with our son but, to our surprise, he really enjoys his tutor and their weekly sessions.  The way she works with our son has really instilled a greater confidence in him and his ab…

Our tutor was amazing! It was our first time with her and my 11 year old son actually knew how to do fractions by the time the hour was over. We look forward to working with her and have loved using Teacher Tutors! We have recommended Teacher Tutors to our friends.

Just wanted to thank you for all the work your tutor did with my son over the last year. Both of us have noticed the difference with his written work, punctuation, grammar and overall confidence in multiple subjects just in time for his final exams. Thanks for helping him set a new standard for himself.
