Certified ACT Science Tutor
Angela
Current Undergrad, Environmental Science Northeastern University
1+ Years Tutoring

As an Environmental Science major at Northeastern, Angela reads data tables, experimental designs, and conflicting research viewpoints every week — which is essentially what the ACT Science section tests. She teaches students to ignore jargon and focus on graph trends, variable relationships, and experimental controls, turning a section that feels intimidating into a straightforward data-interpretation exercise. Her 33 ACT composite confirms the method works.

Antonia
BA University of Washington
1+ Years Tutoring

Most students panic when they see the ACT Science section, but it's really a data-interpretation exam dressed in lab coats. Antonia teaches students to ignore the jargon, zero in on graph axes and table headers, and answer conflicting-viewpoints questions by treating them like mini reading-comp passages. Her approach turns the Science section from the scariest part of the ACT into one of the easiest places to gain points.

Tracy
BA University of Pennsylvania
6+ Years Tutoring

The ACT Science section is less about biology or chemistry knowledge and more about reading graphs under pressure — and Tracy, who scored a 36 composite, approaches it exactly that way. She teaches students to ignore the scientific jargon, locate the variables in each figure, and identify trends before even glancing at the questions. Once students stop trying to understand the experiment and start extracting data, their accuracy jumps.

Christopher
BA Harvard College
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Dennis
BA Princeton University
9+ Years Tutoring

The ACT Science section is really a data interpretation exam disguised as biology, chemistry, and physics. Dennis's astrophysics research at Princeton — where he analyzed simulations of cosmic ray acceleration and turbulent plasmas — gave him the exact skill set this section tests: reading complex graphs, comparing experimental setups, and drawing conclusions from conflicting data sets under time pressure. Rated 4.7 by students.

David
BA University of Minnesota-Twin Cities
6+ Years Tutoring

Most of ACT Science isn't really about science — it's about reading graphs, interpreting experimental setups, and spotting trends under time pressure. David treats it as a data-literacy exercise, drilling students on how to extract the right information from dense figures without getting lost in unfamiliar terminology. His 36 ACT composite confirms he's mastered this approach himself.

Emily
MS Yale University • MS Yale School of Public Health
9+ Years Tutoring

I am a Yale graduate with over 8 years experience tutoring students from a variety of backgrounds.

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!

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.

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.

Kerr
BA Vanderbilt University
8+ Years Tutoring

Despite its name, ACT Science barely tests science knowledge — it's really about reading graphs, interpreting experimental setups, and drawing conclusions from data tables under time pressure. Kerr unpacks each passage type (data representation, research summaries, conflicting viewpoints) and teaches students exactly where to look for answers. His 36 composite came partly from treating this section as a reading exercise, not a science exam.

Emily
BA Cornell University
6+ Years Tutoring

The ACT Science section barely tests science knowledge — it tests whether you can read a graph under pressure and extract the right data point in seconds. Emily scored a 36 composite and, as a computational biology major at Cornell, spends her coursework interpreting exactly these kinds of data-heavy figures. She walks students through conflicting-viewpoints passages and experimental design questions until the format feels routine.

Sreya treats the ACT Science section as a data interpretation exercise, not a science quiz — which is exactly what it is. Her chemistry background at the University of Michigan means she's comfortable with the conflicting viewpoints passages that trip up most students, but she emphasizes that graph-reading speed and experimental design logic matter far more than content knowledge. Rated 5.0 by students.
