RALEIGH’S BEST ACT PREP COURSES
At Perry Youngblood Tutoring, who will your ACT tutor be? The simple answer: Perry Youngblood. Perry loves working directly with students and helping you improve your scores with his proven ACT prep sessions near Raleigh. Offering online tutoring , Perry wants to ensure you get what you need for success.
After graduating college with honors, Perry worked for a Fortune 100 company and then as a management consultant, with clients including AT&T (projects in London and Ukraine), Inmarsat, and Lockheed Martin.
Over 20 years ago, Perry decided to fulfill a lifelong interest in teaching and got certified to teach high school math. That led very soon to tutoring opportunities for the SAT and ACT, and rather than taking a classroom job, Perry has tutored both tests since 2002, helping over 1,000 students prepare for the tests. He’s helped students from Washington state to Florida, Rhode Island to California, and students in Brazil, Italy, and the UK.
Of the two tests, the ACT rewards the student who has strong reading skills. In addition to the reading section, the ACT science section is essentially reading comprehension of science-based material, so students with strong reading skills can often do well on the ACT science as well.
Overall, the ACT requires the student to work quickly since the ACT has about 30% more questions per hour than the SAT. There are several variables to consider with regard to whether the ACT is the right test for you. If you have not made that decision already, Perry can discuss the options with you and help you decide, so that you only need to work on one test. Perry has years of experience helping students in the Raleigh area with ACT prep or with online tutoring as well anywhere in the U.S.

It's clear that having a strong SAT or ACT score is very important if one is applying to colleges where admission is at all competitive.
Each student can decide whether to submit the ACT or the SAT to their colleges. Having visited over 170 colleges, I can report that colleges do not express a preference for one vs. the other. I discuss this choice with each student, and, if necessary can administer an assessment test to see which test they are strongest on.
Having tutored a thousand or so students in the SAT or ACT, I understand the tests in depth. I know which skills, math or verbal, are required and which are not required for the tests. Having tutored students over the entire range of capabilities, I know how to explain the required skills to any student. My students improve their scores. Often after tutoring one child in a family, the younger ones come to me in turn, as many as three or four siblings.
Since I live in a relatively small town, I have branched out to serve students in other locations. The availability of the Skype and Zoom platforms makes remote tutoring easy. I use my camera in such a way that the student sees clearly what I am writing on my notepad; I work math problems and the student follows along just as if they were in my office. For verbal materials, we talk face-to-face. After the session, I email my notes to the student. This year, I have worked with students in many states, from South Carolina to Pennsylvania to the state of Washington. |
