Certified ACT Tutor
Karthik
BA University
4+ Years Tutoring

Scoring a 34 on the ACT gave Karthik firsthand insight into the pacing traps and question structures that cost students easy points — especially on the Math and Science sections, where his STEM background makes him particularly effective. He breaks each section into repeatable strategies, from eliminating answer choices on English passages to reading ACT Science graphs without getting lost in the experimental setup.

Tim
BA Massachusetts Institute of Technology
6+ Years Tutoring

Studying computational neuroscience and philosophy at MIT means Tim's daily work spans quantitative reasoning, data analysis, and argumentative writing — a combination that maps almost perfectly onto the ACT's four sections. He earned a 34 composite and uses his experience teaching everything from pre-algebra through AP Calculus and psychology to build section-specific strategies rather than generic test tips. Rated 4.9 by students.

Brian
BA Ohio State University-Main Campus
9+ Years Tutoring

Studying economics with a math minor in Ohio State's Honors College means Brian works with data, arguments, and quantitative reasoning every day — the exact skill set the ACT tests across all four sections. He scored a 33 composite and tutors both the math-heavy and verbal sides of the exam, using his college essay and grammar teaching experience to sharpen students' approach to English and Reading while his calculus background anchors the Math section's toughest problems.

Deepal
BA University
10+ Years Tutoring

Most ACT prep treats every section the same way, but Deepal's approach leans into something specific: finding faster solution paths. His biomedical engineering training at USC means the Math and Science sections are second nature, and his 34 composite shows he can handle the English and Reading sides just as well — but students consistently point to his alternative methods for solving problems as what actually saves them time on test day.

Kendra
Current Undergrad, Sociology/Criminology Fordham University
10+ Years Tutoring

Kendra scored a 35 composite on the ACT, putting her in the 99th percentile — and she did it recently enough to remember exactly which strategies worked under real testing conditions. She breaks the exam into manageable pieces, from pacing on the Reading section to spotting grammar patterns in English and eliminating trap answers in Science. As a current Fordham sophomore, she's close enough to the test-taking experience to know what actually clicks for students still in the thick of it.

Justin
BA Pomona College

He teaches students to manage pacing across all four sections, especially the Science passage-reading approach that trips up so many test-takers. Rated 5.0 by students.

Lauryn's history major means she already thinks in terms of evidence and argument — skills that translate directly to the ACT's Reading and English sections, where students often lose points by skimming past rhetorical structure. Her 32 composite and experience across math, science, and writing let her cover all four sections plus the optional Writing test, with particular strength in teaching students how to build and defend written arguments under time pressure. Rated 5.0 by students.

Arthur

A perfect 36 ACT composite means Arthur has mastered every section of the exam, but what sets him apart is his background in economics — he brings a data-driven, strategic mindset to pacing, question triage, and score maximization across English, Math, Reading, and Science. He's especially sharp on the Science section's data interpretation passages and the Reading section's social science and humanities pairings, where knowing how to extract arguments quickly makes all the difference.

6+ Years Tutoring

Going from a 25 to a perfect 36 ACT gave Astoria something most tutors don't have — a precise map of where scores stall and which strategies break through each plateau. She teaches section-specific pacing techniques, particularly for Science (treating passages as data interpretation puzzles) and English (spotting grammar patterns without overthinking). Rated 4.8 by students, she tailors her approach based on where each student's composite currently sits.

Kerr

He earned a perfect 36 composite and uses that across-the-board command to zero in on the specific question types each student keeps getting wrong — then rebuilds the approach from scratch rather than layering tricks on top of confusion.
