I am an economics student at Brown University and recently completed a government-funded exchange year in Germany through the CBYX scholarship. My goal is to help you or your child make the most out of your time and learn in the ways suited to you!

I am currently a student at Brown University seeking a degree in molecular biophysics. I love studying physics and its many applications in the realms of the life sciences. I have a strange penchant for ultimate frisbee and anything that involves golf (mini golf, frisbee golf, actual golf, etc.). One can often find me at Clark Park or Walnut Greens trying to shoot for par or die trying.

The ACT Reading section punishes students who read every passage the same way — a scientific article and a humanities excerpt demand completely different scanning strategies. Kashish, who scored a 34 composite, teaches students to identify question types first and then read with purpose, cutting down the time wasted on re-reading. Her approach turns the section's tight 35-minute window from a source of panic into something manageable.

I am looking forward to helping you achieve your goals!

The ACT Reading section is really a time-management exam disguised as a reading test, and Jacob teaches students to attack each passage strategically — identifying question types, locating evidence quickly, and avoiding the traps built into "almost right" answer choices. His 34 ACT composite and structured approach make the 35-minute time crunch feel far more manageable.

I am a tutor with experience ranging from pre-calculus to French to academic essay writing. I hope the material I teach you will stay with you beyond the assignment at hand I try to give a deeper, contextual understanding about the importance of the subjects you're learning in school.

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.

Most students treat ACT Reading as a speed test, but Ilesh reframes it as a precision exercise: knowing what the question actually asks before hunting for evidence in the passage. His 36 composite came partly from a disciplined passage-mapping strategy that he now teaches students to replicate across all four prose genres the section throws at them.

Medical school at the University of Arizona means Alex reads hundreds of pages of dense, unfamiliar material every week — the same core skill the ACT Reading section tests under a 35-minute clock. With a perfect 36 ACT composite, he teaches students to attack the paired viewpoints and natural science passages by isolating each author's claim before looking at answer choices, which eliminates the subtle scope-shift traps that cost most test-takers points. Rated 4.8 by students.

Reading four dense passages in 35 minutes forces a different kind of reading than most students are used to. Sugi's cognitive science training at Rice gives her a framework for teaching active reading strategies — how to map an argument's structure on a first pass so that inference and tone questions become straightforward rather than agonizing. She holds a perfect 36 ACT composite and a 5.0 tutoring rating.

I am currently a resident physician at Northwestern Hospital.

Most ACT Reading mistakes come from time pressure, not comprehension — students understand passages but can't consistently answer 40 questions in 35 minutes. Elliot teaches a triage strategy: how to identify question types, when to skim versus close-read, and how to eliminate answer choices that paraphrase the passage just enough to seem right. Rated 5.0 by students.

After scoring a perfect 36 ACT composite, Anna developed a question-first approach to the Reading section — previewing what each question demands before touching the passage, so every line read serves a purpose. Her medical education background means she's used to processing dense, unfamiliar material quickly and extracting exactly what matters, a skill that translates directly to the natural science and social science passages. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am a Neuroscience and Behavior major at Columbia University. Although my major is centered in the STEM field, I am also passionate about human rights work, global engagement, and local outreach. While my future plans are subject to change, I see myself continuing in academia, going to medical school, and becoming a physician.

Most ACT Reading mistakes come from spending too long on passages and rushing through questions — or the reverse. Logan, who earned a 36 composite, teaches a deliberate passage-mapping technique that lets students locate evidence for inference and detail questions without rereading entire paragraphs. His communication background also sharpens how students interpret tone and author's-purpose questions.

Most ACT Reading mistakes happen not because students can't comprehend the passage but because they spend too long on it and rush the questions. Jiatian teaches a triage method: skim for structure first, then go back to the text with specific question stems in mind. It's the same prioritize-and-filter approach she uses in medical training, applied to literary narratives and social science passages instead of clinical data.

The ACT Reading section isn't really about comprehension — it's about extracting specific evidence under a brutal time constraint. Benjamin scored a 36 composite and applies the close-reading skills from his Columbia English program to teach students how to identify what each question is actually asking, locate proof in the passage quickly, and eliminate trap answers with confidence.

Most ACT Reading mistakes come from spending too long on one passage or second-guessing answers that felt right the first time. Edward teaches a timing strategy that allocates minutes by passage type — prose fiction, social science, humanities, natural science — and shows students how to locate textual evidence quickly instead of re-reading entire paragraphs. His 36 composite reflects command of every section, not just the math side.

I am available to tutor a range of middle school and high school subjects, but I am most excited about tutoring test prep. I remember how stressful preparing for college can be and I am eager to do my part in helping students fulfill their college goals. I believe that learning is a collaborative process and I am committed to being as actively involved in the student's learning as I can. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, going to the movies (I try to see each Oscar nominee before the ceremony every year.), and am a huge Michigan sports fan.

Reading dense, unfamiliar passages under time pressure is where most ACT Reading scores stall out. Austin's background in Classics and Philosophy means he spent years doing exactly that — pulling arguments from ancient texts and evaluating how authors build their claims. He teaches students to map passage structure before touching the questions, turning a 35-minute sprint into a manageable process.

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.

I am a Yale graduate with over 8 years experience tutoring students from a variety of backgrounds. I recently graduated from the Yale School of Public Health with a MPH concentrating in Epidemiology and Global Health. I also received my B.S. from Yale with a double major in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and French. I have experience both leading group classes and working with students one on one. I will respond to a student's strengths, weaknesses, and learning style in order to help them succeed and make the most of our time together. I earned a perfect score of 36 on the ACT, 2280 on the SAT, and qualified as a National Merit Scholar on the PSAT. I look forward to working with you!

The ACT Reading section gives students just 35 minutes for four dense passages — a pace that rewards strategy as much as comprehension. Kerr teaches a passage-mapping technique that isolates each paragraph's purpose so students can answer detail and inference questions without rereading entire sections. He earned a 36 ACT composite and brings that same efficiency-minded approach to every practice set.

I'm not tutoring, I love walking through New York for design inspiration and taking carpentry, metalworking, and illustration classes.

Most ACT Reading mistakes come not from misunderstanding the passage but from misreading the question — confusing "the author suggests" with "the passage states" or missing a keyword like "except." Dennis, who earned a perfect 36 composite, teaches a passage-mapping strategy that cuts re-reading time and makes evidence-based answer elimination systematic rather than instinctive.

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.

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.

The ACT Reading section isn't really testing how well you read — it's testing how quickly you can locate specific evidence in passages you've never seen before. Sreya scored a 36 composite and developed a systematic approach to dual passages and inference questions that cuts through the time pressure. She teaches students to identify what each question is actually asking before they go back to the text.

I'm referring to math, of course, but I didn't always like the subject. Until about age 16, I thought of math as a boring, mind-numbing process of blindly memorizing formulas and then forgetting them after the test, but a series of wonderful teachers showed me the truth. I had thought that everything in math was invented arbitrarily just to torture students, but actually it all made sense in a deep way. When I caught a glimpse of what math really was, I found it irresistible and I ended up majoring in math in college at UChicago. I'm currently a Master's student in Computer Science at NYU.

Tracy's strategy for ACT Reading starts with the dual-passage comparison questions, which she considers the section's biggest point opportunities once students learn to read structurally. Instead of re-reading entire passages, she teaches a targeted annotation method — marking tone shifts, key claims, and concession language on the first pass so answers come faster on the second. Her 36 composite reflects how well this approach scales across all four passage types.

I am an undergraduate at Washington University in St. Louis majoring in Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology on the Premed track. I have two years worth of experience peer tutoring. I feel the most confident tutoring ACT preparation. During my time as a high school student, I worked from an ACT score of 25 to a 36 and developed many effective strategies that I will tailor to the students I tutor and understand the ins and outs of the test. In addition to working with high school peers, I have also enjoyed teaching private piano and violin lessons for elementary students. Helping people knock down their roadblocks is a passion of mine. Standardized tests and basic education may feel removed from our passions, but developing those foundations are essential for opening up opportunities and becoming capable of taking on our pursuits.

Scoring a 36 ACT composite means Emily has beaten every passage type the Reading section throws at students — prose fiction, social science, humanities, natural science — under real time pressure. Her computational biology training at Cornell, which requires constant toggling between dense scientific papers and code documentation, built a habit of extracting exactly what a text claims without getting pulled into irrelevant detail. She teaches students to pre-map each passage's argument in under two minutes, so question time is spent confirming answers rather than hunting for them.

I am a sophomore at the Georgia Institute of Technology and am working towards a major in Computer Engineering. I have been tutoring students of all ages and backgrounds in various math topics ranging from elementary school math to AP Calculus throughout high school. I love teaching math and always find it amazing to watch my students grow and improve in their mathematical abilities. While helping students with standardized testing, we go through several tricks and tactics that have helped my students succeed and have fun in the process. I am also well versed in Physics and have spent 3 years taking the highest levels of physics courses. I love playing all sports (especially soccer) and enjoy playing the guitar in my free time as well.

I am most excited about helping other students achieve their dreams of going to medical school by helping them study for the MCAT. Besides MCAT tutoring, my favorite subjects are chemistry, biology, and math which are all subjects I have tutored in before. I believe that every student can learn the material they hope to with the right guidance and effort. I hope that I can help students realize their full potential and grow in confidence as a learner. Outside of teaching, I like to perform in musicals, most recently I have been in local productions of Mamma Mia and Footloose, as well spend time with friends.

I'm a recent college graduate with degrees in Biological Sciences and Russian from Ohio University. During my time there, I tutored students in a variety of subjects, including biology, chemistry, and Spanish. In addition, I worked as both a peer advisor and teaching assistant, which gives me insight into the learning strategies and study skills that students need to succeed. As a tutor, I like to focus on doing actual problems with students because it is the most effective way to immediately identify their strengths and weaknesses and to address them. In my free time, I like to lift weights, read books, and spend time with my friends.

Scoring a perfect 36 ACT composite means Max has firsthand experience with the Reading section's tightest time pressure — 35 minutes across four passages with no room for re-reading. His biology research background, which involves digesting dense ecological studies and isolating specific claims from surrounding data, trained him to do exactly what the natural science and social science passages demand: separate what the author actually states from what the surrounding context merely suggests. Rated 5.0 by students.

Scoring a perfect 36 ACT composite means Rhea knows exactly how the Reading section tries to trip students up — especially on dual-passage comparisons and inference questions where two answer choices look nearly identical. Her biology coursework at UChicago requires constant close reading of research papers, so she teaches students to isolate an author's central claim and use it as an anchor when eliminating distractor answers that subtly shift scope or tone. Rated 4.8 by students.

Scoring a 36 ACT composite means Vivian didn't just read the passages — she learned to dismantle them, distinguishing between what the author states explicitly and what's merely implied. Her approach to the Reading section zeroes in on how to handle the dual-passage comparisons and inference questions that trip up even strong readers. Rated 4.9 by students.

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.

The ACT Reading section punishes students who read passively — four passages in 35 minutes requires a deliberate strategy for extracting main ideas and locating evidence fast. David, who scored a 36 composite, teaches a structured approach to each passage type so students spend less time rereading and more time answering confidently.
