Help students prepare for the ACT!

Volunteer Opportunity: ACT Prep Tutor

Memphis Inner City Rugby (MICR) supports our student-athletes as they prepare for college and career opportunities. We are seeking volunteers to help high school students prepare for the ACT through small-group tutoring and test preparation sessions.

Students are looking for support in building confidence, strengthening core academic skills, and developing effective test-taking strategies. Volunteers may work with a small group of students to review ACT content, practice sample questions, discuss study techniques, and help students prepare for upcoming test dates.

Potential areas of focus include:

• ACT math, reading, science, and/or English content review
• Remedial math or English practice
• Test-taking strategies and time management
• Practice questions and guided review
• Study planning and goal setting
• Building confidence and reducing test anxiety

This role can be flexible based on your availability and expertise. Whether you are comfortable teaching a specific subject area or providing general ACT preparation support, your guidance can make a meaningful difference for students pursuing college opportunities.

Tutoring session(s) would take place at the MICR Office, or at a public library in one of our students' neighborhoods. MICR staff will provide additional support with planning and facilitation.

Time Commitment

• Flexible scheduling based on volunteer and student availability
• Small-group sessions with high school students
• Brief screening and introductory meeting with MICR staff prior to volunteering

Ideal Volunteers

• Teachers, tutors, and educators
• College students or graduates with strong ACT experience
• Professionals comfortable supporting high school-level math, reading, science, or English
• Individuals passionate about helping students prepare for college

This is an opportunity to help students gain skills, confidence, and access to future educational opportunities through improved ACT preparation and performance.
