1+ Years Tutoring

I am a chemistry/math tutor with hundreds of hours teaching both subjects. What separates me from other tutors is my fantastic attention to the learning styles of different students, and my ability to attune my teaching style to each individual student. I am a big believer in letting students utilize tutoring time in the way they believe best, and I try to make myself a resource more than an instructor, which reinforces good study habits as well as lets me help the student with subject material. I will be attending the University of Michigan to major in Mathematics in the Fall.

Sophia
BA Yale University
6+ Years Tutoring

Most students lose points on ACT Reading not because they can't comprehend the passages but because they run out of time or second-guess answer choices. Sophia, who earned a 36 composite and studies English at Yale, teaches a passage-attack strategy — how to identify the question type, locate evidence quickly, and eliminate distractors without rereading entire paragraphs.

I am a learner for life and I love sharing my knowledge with others. I have tutored middle-school students for one year and university students for two years. My focus is mainly on mathematics, chemistry, and related fields. I have degrees in both mathematics and biomedical engineering so I cover a lot of ground in the physiological sciences, computer programming, and statistics as well. Taking tests is one of my strong points and I have some killer strategies to share!

Ajay
BA University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
8+ Years Tutoring

Most ACT Reading mistakes happen not because students can't comprehend the passage, but because they run out of time or misread what the question demands. Ajay, who scored a 34 composite, teaches a deliberate passage-mapping strategy that cuts re-reading time and makes it easier to locate evidence for inference and detail questions.

Kerry
BA University of Michigan
10+ Years Tutoring

I am currently a student at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. I am working on my third year in the Bachelors of Business Administration program. Throughout my time in both college and high school I have experienced the frustration and pains of students, whether it be myself or my friends. I have always helped my friends with the subjects they struggled with (Calculus, ACT science, Economics, etc.) because I want to see them succeed. I decided to become a tutor to help others succeed as well. I teach ACT, SAT, Statistics, Economics, Business, Math, English, Environment Science, Reading, Writing, and Essay Editing. I especially enjoy teaching Essay Editing, Reading, and Writing because there is more flexibility and opportunity to add your own style into these subjects. Outside of school I enjoy playing tennis, working out, DJing and cooking.

Alec
Current Undergrad, Chemical Engineering University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
1+ Years Tutoring

Most ACT Reading struggles come down to time, not comprehension — four passages in 35 minutes leaves almost no room for re-reading. Alec teaches a passage-mapping technique that cuts through dense prose quickly, letting students lock in answers with confidence. His own 34 composite came partly from nailing this section's pacing.

Alexandra
BA The University of Texas at Dallas
9+ Years Tutoring

The ACT Reading section isn't really about reading — it's about quickly identifying what each question is actually asking and knowing where to find the answer in the passage. Alexandra scored a 33 ACT composite and teaches a strategic approach to the four passage types (prose fiction, social science, humanities, natural science) that cuts down on wasted time and second-guessing. Rated 5.0 by students.

Eva
BA Harvard University
9+ Years Tutoring

The ACT Reading section is really a speed-and-strategy test disguised as a reading test, and Eva tackles it that way. She teaches students how to identify question types — detail retrieval, inference, author's purpose — and match each one to a specific technique for finding the answer quickly. Her 35 ACT composite and voracious reading habit back up the approach.
