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.

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.
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.
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 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.
Seven years of tutoring math and science from middle school through college means Cassandra has already taught most of the content the ACT tests — she just reframes it around the exam's specific timing and format demands. Her 33 composite and biology degree keep the Science and Math sections grounded in real understanding, while her AP English and essay editing work ensures the Reading and English strategies aren't an afterthought. Rated 4.9 by students.
A 33 ACT composite gives Justin credibility, but what sets him apart is the range behind that score — his anthropology and writing background means he can coach the English and Reading sections with real depth, then pivot to Math and Science strategy in the same session. 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.
I love teaching patiently and accurately to achieve concrete goals. A National Merit scholar, a college student, and an aspiring writer, I encourage high achievement and creativity in all my students. With 2+ years of tutoring experience and 1+ years of teaching experience, both in-person and online, I will gladly adapt to your educational and personal needs! Primarily, I tutor the SAT and ACT. I have the most experience in tutoring English (up to 12th grade) and math (up to Algebra II/pre-calc). I can also tutor competitive Lincoln-Douglas and policy debate as well as Impromptu speech at a middle/high school level or general public speaking and argumentation. My favorite subjects are English, which I am pursuing at UNLV, and Speech & Debate, which I teach at a private school. I have an AP Honors Diploma and AP Scholar with Distinction Award from high school.
Georgia Tech's Industrial and Systems Engineering program sits at the crossroads of math, data analysis, and logical reasoning — which means Ilesh trained daily in exactly the quantitative and analytical thinking the ACT tests across Math, Science, and even the evidence-based Reading questions. He earned a perfect 36 composite and uses that full-score perspective to show students not just what the right answers look like, but why the wrong ones are designed to be tempting. Rated 5.0 by students.
An English and drama background might not scream ACT prep, but John's 36 composite — a perfect score — means he's mastered every section of the test, and his theater training makes him unusually good at close reading the rhetorical and narrative passages that stall most students on Reading and English. He also tutors calculus, physics, and chemistry, so the Math and Science sections aren't secondary skills he's faking his way through. Rated 4.9 by students.
Northwestern's Honors Program in Medical Education compressed Anna's premed and MD training into a single accelerated track — meaning she learned early how to master large volumes of material under tight time constraints, which is essentially what the ACT demands across all four sections. She scored a perfect 36 composite and uses that experience to teach students how to allocate their attention strategically, particularly on the Reading and Science sections where running out of time costs more points than content gaps. Rated 5.0 by students.
Scoring a 33 on the ACT while juggling a dual PhD/MD track gave Chelain a firsthand appreciation for efficient test strategy — knowing when to skip, when to guess, and how to manage the clock across all four sections. As a radiation oncology resident at Northwestern, she brings the same analytical precision to breaking down Science and Math passages that she uses in clinical problem-solving. Rated 5.0 by students.
Medical school admissions committees at both Rice and Baylor trusted Sugi to evaluate candidates — that same ability to spot exactly where someone's reasoning breaks down is what she brings to ACT prep, section by section. Her 36 composite and dual background in cognitive science and biochemistry mean there's no weak link across Math, Science, English, or Reading; she knows the content cold and teaches the decision-making layer on top of it. Rated 5.0 by students.
Elliot's neuroscience PhD means he's spent years designing experiments, interpreting data, and writing precisely — the exact skill set the ACT tests across all four sections, from Science passage analysis to the grammar logic underlying English questions. He earned a perfect 36 composite and uses that full-score perspective to show students where the test rewards careful reading over rushing, especially on the Reading and Science sections where most timing mistakes happen. Rated 5.0 by students.
Medical school at the University of Arizona sharpened Alex's science and reading comprehension chops, but it's the chemical engineering degree from Washington and Lee that keeps his ACT Math strategies rigorous — and tutoring since 2010 means he's seen every version of the test's recurring traps across all four sections. His 36 composite isn't just a number; it translates into section-by-section blueprints that show students exactly where their time is leaking and which question types to attack first. Rated 4.8 by students.
Mechanical engineering at Harvard keeps Christopher deep in the math and science reasoning the ACT demands, but his Spanish and writing background means he's not faking it on the English and Reading sections either — he earned a 35 composite covering all four with genuine fluency. He teaches students to catch the small misreads and timing traps that separate a strong score from a great one, building section-specific habits rather than generic test tricks. Rated 4.8 by students.
Most ACT prep treats all four sections like they require the same skillset — Benjamin actually lives in both worlds, with a computer science degree and a graduate English program at Columbia giving him native fluency in quantitative reasoning and close reading alike. He earned a perfect 36 composite and uses that dual background to teach section-specific strategies, whether it's eliminating trap answers in Reading or managing the Math section's escalating difficulty curve. Rated 5.0 by students.
Double-majoring in molecular biology and French at Yale gave Emily something most ACT tutors lack — genuine fluency in both the STEM and humanities sides of the exam, so she's not faking comfort in any section. She earned a perfect 36 composite and uses her epidemiology training to teach the Science section as a data-literacy exercise, then pivots to the grammar and rhetorical questions on English with the same precision. Rated 5.0 by students.
Classics and philosophy trained Austin to do two things quickly: parse dense texts and build logical arguments from limited evidence — which maps almost perfectly onto ACT Reading and Science, where students need to extract answers from unfamiliar passages under serious time pressure. His 33 composite and breadth across math, biology, and writing mean he covers all four sections without relying on generic tricks, connecting each question type back to the specific reasoning skill it's actually testing.
Eric's business administration background might seem unusual for ACT prep, but it gave him exactly the kind of cross-disciplinary fluency the test rewards — reading dense passages quickly, interpreting data under pressure, and writing structured arguments for the optional Writing section. He earned a perfect 36 composite and uses that score to reverse-engineer each section, showing students which question types are worth slowing down for and which ones reward a confident first instinct.
Chemical engineering at Michigan means Edward spends his semesters deep in the math and science that dominate half the ACT — but his literature, essay editing, and grammar tutoring keep the English and Reading sections just as locked in, giving him genuine coverage across all four. His perfect 36 composite isn't decorative; he uses it to show students exactly how each section rewards different reading speeds and elimination habits, especially on the Science passages where most prep falls short. Rated 4.8 by students.
Neuroscience at Columbia trains a specific kind of thinking — pulling signal from noise in dense, data-heavy material — and that's essentially what the ACT Science and Reading sections demand. Sarah scored a 35 composite and applies that same analytical rigor across all four sections, teaching students to decode unfamiliar passages quickly and avoid the second-guessing that burns time. Rated 5.0 by students.
Scoring well on the ACT is less about mastering five separate subjects and more about learning one skill: how to attack timed, multiple-choice questions with a plan. Jiatian builds individualized study schedules that target each student's weakest sections first, setting concrete score milestones along the way. A Rice University graduate currently finishing medical school, she's taken enough high-stakes exams to know exactly what disciplined, strategic prep looks like in practice.
Logan teaches every ACT section with equal fluency — his communication degree sharpens the English and Reading approach, while his calculus and physics background keeps the Math and Science strategies grounded in actual content rather than shortcut gimmicks. That 36 composite means he's seen the ceiling on every section and knows exactly which habits close the gap between a strong score and a perfect one. Rated 5.0 by students.
A 36 composite on the ACT means Emily didn't just do well on one section — she maxed out every part of the test, from the science data interpretation to the reading passage pacing to the math's pre-calc concepts. She breaks the exam into learnable systems, teaching students how to manage time across sections and recognize the specific question patterns the ACT repeats. Rated 4.9 by students.
Vivian's Juilliard training might seem unrelated to the ACT, but the discipline of mastering a performance — breaking complex material into precise, repeatable steps — is exactly how she approaches all four sections of the exam. Her perfect 36 composite means she's solved the timing and strategy puzzles in every section firsthand, and her deep background in English and history gives her particular authority on the Reading and English passages where subtle rhetorical questions separate a 32 from a 36. Rated 4.9 by students.
Most ACT prep treats every section the same way — Nikhil doesn't. His biomedical engineering training at Michigan means the Math and Science sections are second nature, and his writing and literature tutoring experience gives him genuine fluency on English and Reading, so students get a tutor who actually understands the content behind all four sections rather than just recycling generic strategies. He earned a perfect 36 composite and holds a 5.0 rating.
Most ACT prep treats all four sections as equally difficult, but Kevin zeros in on each student's actual weak spots — whether that's the Math section's later-problem complexity or the Science section's dense graph-reading passages. His mechanical engineering studies at Case Western keep him sharp on quantitative reasoning, while his 36 composite means he's navigated every section at the ceiling. Rated 4.8 by students.
Having tutored students in Hong Kong preparing for U.S. college admissions, Asta knows how the ACT fits into the bigger picture — and that knowledge shapes how she prioritizes section-by-section prep based on each student's target schools. Her 35 composite and University of Chicago political science training make her especially effective on the Reading and English sections, where she teaches students to dissect passage arguments quickly instead of re-reading. Rated 5.0 by students.
Having spent a year as a course assistant in Harvard's math department while majoring in Government, Richard is genuinely comfortable on both sides of the ACT — the quantitative reasoning that dominates Math and Science and the rhetorical analysis that drives English and Reading. His 36 composite means he didn't just survive every section; he maxed each one, and he teaches students the specific pacing and elimination habits that make that possible.
Having earned a perfect 36 composite, Aleeza knows exactly how each ACT section works — but her pre-med biology background makes her especially sharp on the Science section, where she teaches students to treat dense data passages as reading exercises rather than content quizzes. She also draws on her MCAT prep experience to coach the kind of disciplined pacing and process-of-elimination thinking that transfers across Math, English, and Reading. Rated 4.9 by students.
Eileen's neuroscience pre-med track at Vanderbilt keeps her sharp across the ACT's full spread — the Science section reads like her coursework, while her college essay and literature tutoring means English and Reading aren't afterthoughts. She earned a perfect 36 composite and uses that experience to show students exactly how each section rewards different habits, building custom study plans around where points are actually being lost.
Computational biology PhD applicant by day, Max approaches the ACT the way he approaches research — systematically isolating variables to figure out exactly what's going wrong. His 36 composite means he's maxed out every section, and his biology-plus-quantitative background lets him teach Science and Math from genuine understanding while his co-authored publication work keeps his Reading and English strategies rooted in real analytical writing. Rated 5.0 by students.
I am passionate about helping students with math, science, test prep, and more! As sophomore undergraduate at Brown University studying Mathematics and Biophysics, I am well experienced with many topics. I received a perfect 36 on my ACT, so I am very confident with test taking.
David's computer science training shows up most clearly in how he teaches the ACT — he treats each section as a system to debug, isolating exactly where a student's process breaks down rather than reteaching content they already know. His perfect 36 composite means he's pressure-tested every section himself, and his CS instinct for logical structure is especially useful on Science and Math, where students often have the knowledge but lose points to disorganized problem-solving. Rated 5.0 by students.
Notre Dame trained Benjamin in finance and economics, but his 36 ACT composite — a perfect score — is what matters here: he knows every section cold and teaches the specific computation shortcuts and pattern-recognition tricks that turn near-misses into correct answers under time pressure. His math and science instincts are obvious, but his breadth across writing, literature, and essay editing means the English and Reading sections get the same depth of attention. Rated 5.0 by students.
Duke's biomedical engineering program keeps Eric sharp on the Math and Science sections, but it's his breadth — economics, Mandarin, literature, college essays — that lets him coach Reading and English without faking it. He earned a perfect 36 composite and uses that across-the-board fluency to diagnose exactly which section habits are costing a student points, then drill fixes until they stick. Rated 5.0 by students.
Talia earned a perfect 36 ACT composite, which means she didn't just do well on her strongest sections — she maxed out every single one, from the grammar patterns in English to the data-heavy Science passages that trip up even strong students. Her tutoring background spans math, writing, and reading across all grade levels, so she builds ACT prep around each student's actual weak spots rather than running a generic review. Rated 5.0 by students.
Graduate-level math at the University of Illinois paired with a computer science degree means Nicholas can dissect the ACT's quantitative sections at a level most tutors can't — but his philosophy reading habit and essay editing experience keep him equally dangerous on English and Reading. His perfect 36 composite isn't just a number; it reflects a section-by-section approach where he teaches students exactly which question types to attack first and which to strategically defer when the clock tightens. Rated 4.9 by students.
