Melanie
BA University
2+ Years Tutoring

Dedicated, patient, and results-driven, I bring a tailored, student-centered approach to every tutoring session. As a National Merit Scholar and senior at the University of Alabama double-majoring in Neuroscience and Marine Science, I combine strong academic rigor with an evidence-based understanding of how different minds learn. My passion lies in empowering students to build confidence and master challenging material at their own pace. I specialize in working alongside neurodivergent learners and students with learning disabilities, including ADHD, dyslexia, and executive function challenges. By tailoring my methodology to each student's unique cognitive strengths, I help transform frustration into measurable progress. Whether we are breaking down complex concepts, building structured study habits, or working through foundational skill gaps, I create an encouraging, high-energy environment where every student can thrive. I am excited to work with you or your child!

Max
BA University

I really enjoy helping students master the fundamentals of math, physics, computer science, and electrical engineering, as well as succeed on standardized tests like the ACT. I focus on teaching in an interactive way by trying to understand your thought process and building your understanding using simple examples and guidance. Learning these fields is challenging but also very rewarding, and I believe everyone can find enjoyment in it and see the beauty in the theory and use the applications throughout their careers.

Frances
BA Duke University • Degree unspecified Duke University
6+ Years Tutoring

After scoring a 35 ACT composite, Frances developed a systematic method for the Reading section that prioritizes passage mapping — identifying the author's purpose and argument structure before touching the questions. She's especially strong on the paired-passage format, where students often lose points by conflating the two authors' positions.

Dana
BA Brown University
1+ Years Tutoring

Reading four dense passages in 35 minutes requires a method, not just strong reading skills. Dana's policy studies trained her to extract arguments and evidence from complex texts fast — exactly the skill the ACT Reading section rewards, especially on the social science and humanities passages. Her 36 ACT composite came from treating each passage like a briefing document: identify the claim, locate the support, move on.

Ishan
BA Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute • Doctor of Medicine, Premedicine Albany Medical College
5+ Years Tutoring

I am a current sophomore at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where I am majoring in Biology as part of the 7 Year Accelerated Medical Program. I am also minoring in Healthcare Economics and Policy. My favorite subjects in school are Chemistry, Biology, and Math, but I also enjoy the process of writing and editing thought provoking essays. During high school, I spent time tutoring for the National Honor Society. My approach to tutoring is to teach the concepts in a simplistic manner and reinforcing the concepts while adding difficulty through effective practice problems. In my free time, I have recently found myself reading, working out, drawing, and spending time with my siblings.

Christopher
BA Harvard College
1+ Years Tutoring

Mechanical engineering coursework at Harvard means Christopher reads the way the ACT Reading section rewards — extracting key claims from dense technical material fast and ignoring everything that doesn't answer the question in front of him. He applies that same efficiency to all four passage types, teaching students to map an author's argument structure in the first read so that inference and detail questions become quick lookups rather than guesswork. His 35 ACT composite and 4.8 student rating back up the approach.

Richard
BA Harvard University
1+ Years Tutoring

A government major at Harvard, Richard spent his coursework doing exactly what the ACT Reading section rewards: rapidly digesting competing political arguments, identifying an author's central claim, and distinguishing stated evidence from implied conclusions — skills that map directly onto the social science and humanities passages. His perfect 36 ACT composite means he's navigated every passage type under real testing pressure and knows which time-management habits actually hold up when the clock is running.

Ryne
BA Stanford University
6+ Years Tutoring

Ryne earned a perfect 36 ACT composite, which means he knows firsthand how to handle the Reading section's brutal pacing — 40 questions in 35 minutes with no room for second-guessing. His political science training built a habit of quickly dissecting competing claims in dense texts, and he applies that to teaching students how dual passages and paired questions try to blur the line between an author's actual position and a tempting distortion. Rated 4.9 by students.

John
BA University of St Thomas • AS American Academy of Dramatic Arts
16+ Years Tutoring

Reading four dense passages in 35 minutes requires a method, not just speed. John breaks the ACT Reading section into a decision-making process: how to skim for structure, when to go back to the text versus trusting your first read, and how to eliminate answer choices that sound right but distort the passage. His 36 composite and background in literature make him especially sharp on the prose fiction and humanities passages.
