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.

A strong ACT essay needs a thesis that directly engages all three perspectives and weaves in concrete reasoning — not just a five-paragraph formula. Edward, an avid writer and reader, teaches students to quickly outline a position, develop counterarguments, and tie everything back with precise language under the 40-minute time constraint. His own 36 ACT composite shows he's executed this approach under real testing pressure.

Scoring a perfect 36 on the ACT gave Emily firsthand insight into what graders reward in the optional Writing section: a clear thesis, specific engagement with the three perspectives, and organized reasoning that doesn't waste words. She teaches students a repeatable essay structure they can execute in 40 minutes, then sharpens their argument development and transitions through targeted revision practice.

Studying both English literature and computer science at Columbia means Benjamin toggles daily between close reading and logical problem-solving — two skills that converge on the ACT essay, where a strong response requires parsing three perspectives like texts and structuring a rebuttal like code. He teaches students to spend the first three minutes extracting each perspective's core claim, then slot those claims into a thesis-driven outline that practically writes itself. His perfect 36 ACT composite and 5.0 student rating back up the method.

The ACT Writing essay isn't really about having the best opinion — it's about engaging with three given perspectives and building a coherent, well-structured argument in 40 minutes. Austin's philosophy degree trained him to evaluate competing claims and construct logical arguments under pressure, and he teaches students a repeatable framework for organizing their essays so they can focus on quality of reasoning instead of scrambling for structure.

After scoring a 35 ACT composite, Alyssa developed a method for the Writing section that treats the three-perspective prompt as a diagnostic exercise — isolating the strongest and weakest claims before committing to a thesis. Her doctoral training in physical therapy sharpened her ability to write precise, evidence-driven arguments under time constraints, which translates directly to the kind of analytical paragraphs ACT graders reward. Rated 5.0 by students.

Crafting a strong ACT essay in 40 minutes requires a specific kind of discipline: evaluating three perspectives, staking out a clear position, and structuring paragraphs that actually develop an argument. Sydney earned her BFA and BA at Carnegie Mellon with a near-perfect GPA, and her Creative Writing training means she can show students how to generate a thesis quickly and support it with concrete reasoning that scores high on every rubric dimension.

Economics training teaches you to evaluate competing models and defend one with evidence — which mirrors the ACT essay's three-perspective format almost exactly. Tracy applies that analytical framework to a tight outlining method where students identify each perspective's strongest and weakest claims before writing a single sentence, so the 40 minutes get spent arguing rather than figuring out what to argue. Her perfect 36 ACT composite and 4.9 rating confirm the strategy delivers.

The ACT Writing section rewards a specific kind of structured argumentation: evaluating three perspectives and weaving in your own with clear reasoning. Rahul scored a 36 ACT composite and approaches the essay as an engineering problem — outlining a logical framework first, then filling in evidence and transitions. That systematic method gives students a repeatable process they can execute under time pressure.

I am an undergraduate of the Johns Hopkins University, majoring in Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science. I have years of experience tutoring and teaching math and various sciences from an elementary to a college level. I primarily tutor college level courses such as physics and biochemistry, but also have extensive experience in social sciences, biology, and higher mathematics such as Calculus and Differential Equations. I believe that demonstrating the various real-world applications of a given concept is the best method to increase a student's understanding.
