Award-Winning ACT Reading Tutors
serving Tulsa, OK

The ACT Reading section rewards students who can quickly identify an author's purpose, trace arguments across paragraphs, and distinguish between what a passage states and what it implies. Rachel scored a 35 ACT composite and treats each passage type — prose fiction, social science, humanities, natural science — as its own puzzle with predictable question patterns. Her background in history and American studies at Columbia means close, analytical reading is second nature.

I have spent all my academic life learning how to study effectively, earning high scores on the ACT and SAT, and I am passionate about passing that knowledge on to others. With my performance on standardized tests, I was able to become a National Merit Scholar and obtain a full scholarship to university, a long-time dream of mine. I understand the hurdles that many students face, and I want them to feel confident that they have the tools they need to succeed. I love teaching test prep because standardized tests have an enormous impact on people's futures, and I also teach math because it reaches across many fields, from astronomy to robotics. I work with students to encourage a personal path towards learning that is different for everyone.

I'm an engineer with tutoring experience ready to help students of all ages in a variety of math subjects, as well as with standardized testing needs. Being an engineer means that I'm a problem-solver, and that I need to be able to adapt to a variety of situations. I apply that skill to my tutoring: every student is different, and I adapt my teaching methods to those differences.

Most ACT Reading mistakes come from pacing, not comprehension — students understand the passages but run out of time or overthink inference questions. Daniyal teaches a passage-mapping technique that cuts re-reading in half and sharpens the distinction between what the text says and what it merely implies. His 35 composite reflects how well this systematic approach translates to real scores.

Most ACT Reading mistakes happen not because students misunderstand the passage but because they run out of time or get tricked by answer choices that are almost right. Robert teaches a passage-mapping strategy — quickly annotating main claims and tone shifts — that keeps pacing on track across all four passage types, from prose fiction to natural science.

I am a Graduate Teaching Assistant at Oklahoma State University getting my Master of Science in Mathematics, and because of that I am both passionate about math for its own sake, and also enjoy helping people learn it and strengthen their math skills! I am very comfortable with all high school and undergraduate math, including ACT, SAT, and GRE math preparation. I would love to work with you!

Meredith reads critically for a living — her PhD work at UNT means she spends hours each day dissecting arguments in political science and literary texts. On the ACT Reading section, she teaches students to attack each passage type differently, whether it's a natural science data summary or a humanities narrative, and to find supporting evidence fast. Rated 4.5 by students.

Studying Classics at the University of Oklahoma meant Jordan spent years translating and interpreting ancient texts where every word choice carries argumentative weight — the same close-reading muscle the ACT Reading section tests across all four passage types. With a 33 ACT composite and a 4.8 student rating, he teaches students to isolate an author's central claim before engaging with questions, which keeps the prose fiction and humanities passages from becoming time sinks where answers feel subjective.

Speed is the real enemy on ACT Reading, where four dense passages need to be processed in 35 minutes. Joseph, who earned a 35 composite, teaches a passage-mapping strategy that prioritizes locating evidence over close reading — because the test rewards students who can find answers fast, not those who read every word carefully.

Three years of reading dense philosophical texts trained Carson to do exactly what the ACT Reading section asks: absorb a passage quickly, identify its central claim, and locate specific supporting details under a tight clock. He teaches a passage-mapping technique that cuts re-reading time in half, which matters when you have roughly eight minutes per passage. Rated 4.9 by students.

I'm another life long learner. I strive to assist learning in social encounters. Growing up with a family of school teachers and public school professional development figures, I have developed an interest in tutoring, research, and writing. After tutoring for about two years with Upward Bound and years of part time work with the educational development organization ALCA, I am now researching and writing a book on online political discourse, and wish to work improving my ability to help others.

Years of reading biochemistry journal articles — where a single misread of a methods section can derail an entire lab protocol — trained Blake to extract precise claims from dense, unfamiliar text quickly, which is the core skill behind every ACT Reading question. He applies that scientific reading habit to all four passage types, teaching students to distinguish what the author actually states from what answer choices subtly distort through scope shifts or paraphrasing traps. His 32 ACT composite backs up an approach built on precision rather than speed-reading shortcuts.

I am most interested in helping students interested in calculus and chemistry as those are the subjects I am most interested. I believe every student can succeed and improve if they are willing to work.

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!

I am currently pursuing a Bachelors of Science in Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I am also a graduate of the high school International Baccalaureate Program. I have informal experience tutoring high school physics, but am most passionate about tutoring students for the ACT standardized test, having had extensive experience preparing for standardized tests throughout high school. I am eager to aid students in boosting their scores before their upcoming college applications, an important milestone in many students' lives. In my free time, I also enjoy playing tennis.

The ACT Reading section isn't really about reading — it's about quickly locating evidence and matching it to answer choices under a brutal time constraint. Nicholas, who earned a perfect 36 composite, teaches a systematic passage-attack strategy that prioritizes where to look over how fast to read, cutting down the guesswork that costs students points in the final minutes.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I am currently a fourth year medical student in Indianapolis. I completed my undergraduate education at Indiana University Bloomington, where I majored in Biology and Spanish. I also completed two minors in Mathematics and Chemistry. While at IU, I worked for the Department of Mathematics and Department of Spanish. I also worked as a Peer Tutor for the IU Athletics Department, tutoring in several subjects including statistics, chemistry, physics, and Spanish. I graduated from college with a 4.0, and I entered medical school shortly thereafter. Since coming to medical school, I have excelled in all of my pre-clinical coursework, and I currently rank in the Top 20% of my class. I feel very comfortable and confident tutoring other students in a variety of subjects from math and science to Spanish. I like to think that the same techniques I have used to excel in all phases of my education can be easily adapted to other students and help you achieve your academic goals, just as I have!

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.
