Award-Winning ACT Science Tutors
serving Norfolk, VA

Hello! I am currently a junior at The Ohio State University majoring in mechanical engineering. I've been tutoring for around 5 years and have worked with students of all ages. I specialize in helping students improve their SAT and ACT scores. My teaching method is to target students weak areas in a subject and reteach them the topic from scratch with tips and tricks. I believe the best way to learn is by applying the topics learnt to real questions to ensure your student feels comfortable solving them come time for the exam!

Most students panic when they see an ACT Science passage full of unfamiliar terminology, but Roshni treats the section for what it really is: a data interpretation exercise. She walks through how to read conflicting viewpoints passages, pull trends from graphs, and distinguish between experimental variables — all without needing deep content knowledge. Her own 35 ACT composite came from exactly this kind of strategic reading.

I am a sophomore electrical engineering student and member of the honors college at Virginia Commonwealth University. I recently graduated from Maggie L. Walker Governor's School in June of 2017. I have a passion for mathematics, especially calculus, and am excited to share my knowledge with others.

The ACT Science section isn't really about knowing science — it's about reading graphs, interpreting conflicting viewpoints, and pulling data fast under pressure. Devan, who scored a 34 composite, treats it as a data-literacy exercise and teaches students a systematic method for extracting answers from tables and figures without getting lost in the passage details.

Hi, I'm Vennela! I specialize in making advanced subjectsfrom Multivariable Calculus to Machine Learningaccessible and intuitive. Having studied at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology and moving into Mathematics at Northeastern University, I understand the rigor of top-tier STEM programs. My tutoring philosophy centers on 'first principles': I don't just teach you how to solve a problem; I help you understand why the math works the way it does. Whether we are solving differential equations or learning the basics of geometry, my goal is to build your confidence and your skills.

I am currently a student at the University of Pittsburgh! I originally hail from the DC area. I have been tutoring for about 2 years and have a lot of experience because my family has a huge teaching background. I am majoring in biochemistry and psychology but I love to write and read books! I love to tutor not only because I love to teach but also because I love to meet new people and help people lead happier lives.

Treat the ACT Science section like a data interpretation exercise, not a science quiz — that's the approach Zeke teaches, and it works whether the passage covers genetics or thermodynamics. His 34 ACT composite came partly from learning to read graphs and experimental setups efficiently without getting bogged down in unfamiliar terminology. He walks students through the conflicting viewpoints format, which tends to be the section's biggest score drain.

I am currently preparing to begin a Master's of Teaching program at VCU this fall and have continued to excel in the math and history courses I need to round out my teaching endorsements. Because my future career path focuses on teaching at the high school level, I have a preference for tutoring math (especially algebra through calculus) and history, along with writing and my current subject of philosophy. Besides my career motivations, I find that I stand out the most as a tutor in these areas because of my capability in clearly presenting complex material and my ability to grasp the diverse perspectives of my students.

I am ready to help all students by answering their questions and frequently addressing some questions to them....

The ACT Science section looks intimidating, but it's really a data interpretation test disguised as biology, chemistry, and physics. Anmol teaches students to ignore the jargon and go straight to the graphs, tables, and experimental setups — extracting trends and comparing variables without getting bogged down in unfamiliar terminology. His 33 composite ACT score backs up the method.

I am currently a lead preschool teacher. I received my Bachelor's in Psychology from VCU and am looking to return to school to further my education. While in college, I worked as a Supplemental Instruction leader, teaching general biology and anatomy. I have also worked in an after school program with elementary age children, but I have my fondest memories volunteering as a counselor for Camp Kesem. In my own experience, I loved school and now I love teaching even more at all age levels! I especially enjoy the challenge of getting creative to discover what approach and mediums work best for each student. I am available for in person as well as online tutoring.

From the moment I began helping classmates in middle school study for math quizzes, I realized how much I enjoyed guiding others toward understanding. Over time, that spark grew into a genuine passion for education. What drives me most is witnessing the transformation in a student's confidencethe moment when confusion gives way to clarity, and they begin to believe in their own abilities. Tutoring, for me, is not simply about helping students achieve better grades; it's about empowering them to trust their capacity to learn and grow. My journey as a tutor began in high school, where I volunteered as a math tutor for underclassmen struggling with algebra and geometry. I worked one-on-one with students after school, helping them tackle difficult problems and build foundational skills. This early experience taught me how patience and consistent encouragement could make a lasting difference. In college, I served as a teaching assistant for general chemistry at the University of Virginia.

I'm currently a Junior at VCU. My major is Biology and I'm minoring in Chemistry and Mathematics. In addition, I'm also on the pre-med track, so I have taken many science classes!

I'm Julian and I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Virginia. I have been there before. Repeatedly, there are moments where I do not understand a certain subject and I am in need of assistance. Even the most notable scholars need help at some point in their lifetime. For this reason, I'd like to repay the favor and help other students in need. More people than I can count have been there to help me and I would like to do the same with other students. To do this, I will tutor with an engaging and interactive environment. When assisting students, I like to go beyond explicit instructions. I strive for the student to fully understand the processes that we cover so that it sticks in the student's mind more effectively. Subsequently, I believe it is important to continue practicing the content individually. The main goal is to instill long term confidence in the student that surpasses what is being taught.

The ACT Science section is really a data interpretation test disguised as science — success depends on reading graphs, tables, and conflicting viewpoints quickly and accurately. Jessica scored a 33 ACT composite and teaches students to isolate variables in experiments and extract trends from figures without getting bogged down by unfamiliar terminology. Her approach turns a section that intimidates many students into one of the most predictable parts of the test.

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 Science section is really a data interpretation exam disguised with lab coats and beakers. Alex approaches it that way — teaching students to read graphs, compare experimental setups, and spot conflicting hypotheses without getting lost in unfamiliar terminology. As a medical student with a chemical engineering background and a 36 ACT composite, he knows exactly when the section requires outside science knowledge and when it doesn't.

I am a patient, intellectual, and calm college student at the University of Michigan passionate about tutoring others to improve their proficiency in a wide variety of subjects. I teach students by creating individualized plans that cater to the strengths and weaknesses of the student. I work hard and as long as it takes to ensure that the student derives maximum benefit. I love teaching a wide variety of subjects, and have a speciality in standardized tests.

Most students panic when they see the ACT Science section, but it's really a test of graph interpretation, data comparison, and experimental design reasoning — not science knowledge. Liz teaches students to isolate variables in tables, read conflicting viewpoints passages like arguments rather than textbook chapters, and answer questions in under a minute each. Her 34 ACT composite and years directing tutors at a Boston middle school mean she knows how to break these skills into repeatable steps.

Most students panic when they see ACT Science passages full of unfamiliar terminology, but the section is really a data-interpretation exercise. Richard teaches students to ignore jargon, read graphs first, and identify conflicting variables before touching the questions — a systematic method that turns a confusing section into one of the most improvable. He earned a 36 ACT composite and brings physics coursework that makes the experiment-based passages feel intuitive.

Despite its name, the ACT Science section is really a data interpretation exam — students who try to rely on biology or chemistry knowledge alone often run out of time. John treats each passage as a puzzle: read the axes, find the trend, answer the question. His 36 ACT composite and experience teaching both physics and chemistry mean he can also fill in the occasional outside-knowledge questions that catch other students off guard.

The ACT Science section isn't really a science test — it's a data interpretation exercise disguised as one. Christopher scored a 35 composite and teaches students to read graphs, compare experimental designs, and identify conflicting viewpoints quickly, drawing on his mechanical engineering background at Harvard to make scientific reasoning feel intuitive.

I am happy to accommodate and work with learners on the spectrum.

The ACT Science section barely tests science knowledge — it's really about reading graphs, interpreting conflicting viewpoints, and extracting trends from dense data tables under time pressure. Logan scored a 36 composite and trains students to ignore the intimidating terminology and zero in on what each figure actually shows. Once students see it as a data-literacy exercise, scores jump quickly.

Treat the ACT Science section like a data-interpretation exercise, not a biology or chemistry quiz — that's the approach Benjamin teaches, and it's how he earned a perfect 36 composite. His computer science training makes him especially sharp at reading graphs, tables, and conflicting experimental designs quickly, and he walks students through the exact process for each passage type.

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.

I am a recent graduate of Cornell University, where I received a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and graduated Magna Cum Laude. Over the past several years, I have worked with students from diverse backgrounds and experiences tutoring thermodynamics (my personal favorite), chemistry, and math. I have also tutored in the past for ACT/SAT and other subjects such as history, but I am deeply passionate about science and engineering. I tend to push my students to understand conceptual topics, as opposed to rote or algorithmic learning. In my free time, I love to bake sourdough, learn about history, garden, and recently started biking again.
