Alex
Certified ACT Reading Tutor
Alex
BA Washington and Lee University
6+ Years Tutoring

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.

Lindsay
BA University
1+ Years Tutoring

Lindsay's double grounding in biology and mathematics means she's comfortable with both the natural science passages that demand data-literate reading and the humanities passages that require tracking an author's shifting tone — two skills that rarely live in the same tutor. With a 35 ACT composite and a 4.9 student rating, she teaches students to anticipate what each passage type will ask before they finish reading, so they spend less time re-scanning and more time eliminating wrong answers. Her approach zeroes in on how the ACT disguises correct answers through subtle rewording, training students to match claims back to specific lines rather than relying on general impressions.

Jacob
MS Arizona State University • BA Texas Christian University
6+ Years Tutoring

The ACT Reading section isn't about being a strong reader — it's about answering 40 questions in 35 minutes, which means learning to extract evidence from passages at speed. Jacob's 35 ACT composite and his psychology and theater training give him a sharp eye for how arguments are structured and how authors use tone to convey meaning. He teaches a passage-mapping technique that cuts down on re-reading and keeps students moving.

Alice
BA Yale University
9+ Years Tutoring

Reading comprehension on the ACT is a speed game: four passages, ten questions each, thirty-five minutes total. Alice, who scored a 36 composite, teaches a deliberate strategy for each passage type — prose fiction, social science, humanities, natural science — because each one rewards a slightly different reading approach. Her English and biology background at Yale means she's equally comfortable unpacking a literary narrative or a dense scientific excerpt.

Gordon
BA Arizona State University
1+ Years Tutoring

Teach for America gave Gordon years of practice adapting reading strategies across grade levels — from elementary phonics to college-level scientific literature — which means he understands how different students get stuck on the ACT Reading section's four passage types for very different reasons. He zeroes in on pacing and passage-order strategy, teaching students to identify which passages play to their strengths and which ones to save for last so they stop running out of time on the questions they'd actually get right.

Galen
BA Stanford University
8+ Years Tutoring

Every ACT Reading passage is a short argument or narrative that has to be decoded in roughly nine minutes, which is less a reading test than a reasoning test. That distinction matters to Galen, whose philosophy degree was essentially four years of timed close reading under pressure. He teaches students to map each passage's structure before touching the questions, turning even unfamiliar topics into something they can navigate confidently.

Brodie
BA Arizona State University
4+ Years Tutoring

I'm a graduate of Arizona State University with Barrett, the Honors College. I received my BSE in biomedical engineering in 2022 and I'll finish my education with an MS in 2023. I've tutored math (K-12) since 2016 with an emphasis on algebra and high school test prep concepts. It's never too early or too late to build foundational math skills. I believe a student at any age or level can benefit from practicing core skills while introducing logical and efficient solutions into their math repertoire!
