Karthik
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.

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.

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.

7+ Years Tutoring

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.

Justin
BA Pomona College
10+ Years Tutoring

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
BA University
5+ Years Tutoring

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.

Sarah
BA Columbia University in the City of New York
4+ Years Tutoring

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.

Austin
BA University of Notre Dame
15+ Years Tutoring

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.

Kevin
BA Case Western Reserve University
7+ Years Tutoring

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.

Viktor
BA University of Chicago
7+ Years Tutoring

Viktor's path to a 1600 SAT and 35 ACT started with hating math until a few great teachers showed him the reasoning behind the formulas — and that shift from memorization to understanding is exactly how he approaches ACT prep, especially the Math section's later problems where conceptual thinking beats calculator mashing. His UChicago math degree and current CS work at NYU keep all four sections covered, but he's particularly sharp at teaching students to decode the Science section's graphs and tables as logic puzzles rather than actual science.

Edward

1+ Years Tutoring

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.

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.

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.

Alyssa
BA Texas Christian University • Doctor of Science, Physical Therapy Texas Woman's University
4+ Years Tutoring

Alyssa's doctoral work in physical therapy means she's still deep in the kind of scientific reading and data analysis the ACT Science section throws at students — but her psychology minor and 4.0 undergrad GPA point to someone equally comfortable dissecting English passages and tackling the Math section's trickier algebra and trig problems. She earned a 35 composite and builds prep around diagnosing each student's weakest question types first, then drilling those until they stop costing points. Rated 5.0 by students.

He teaches timing strategies section by section, showing students how to triage questions and avoid the traps that cost points in the final ten minutes. Rated 5.0 by students.

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.
