Pursuing both electrical engineering and premed at Columbia means Zhenrui doesn't have blind spots on the ACT — the math and science sections tap into his daily coursework, while the premed writing load and his 1570 SAT keep his English and Reading strategies just as precise. He earned a perfect 36 composite and uses that across-the-board fluency to diagnose exactly which question types are costing a student points, then drill the timing and technique needed to close those gaps.

Having taken AP Calculus BC, AP Physics C, and AP Chemistry while also studying French and honing her writing at Vanderbilt, Jackie covers all four ACT sections without faking fluency in any of them — her 35 composite reflects genuine comfort across the board. She's especially effective at showing students how the Math section's later questions aren't harder content so much as familiar concepts wrapped in trickier setups, a distinction that unlocks points fast. Rated 5.0 by students.

A chemistry degree means Ziyu can actually read ACT Science passages for what they are — experimental designs with data to extract — rather than teaching students to fake their way through graphs they don't understand. That same STEM foundation carries into the Math section, and his 35 composite shows he's no slouch on English and Reading either. He builds section-specific timing habits so students stop running out of clock on the passages that matter most.

A journalism major at NYU who scored a 1600 SAT and 35 ACT, Sarah attacks the test from a writer's perspective — she teaches students to read English and Reading passages the way an editor would, spotting structural cues and rhetorical moves that point straight to correct answers. Her advanced coursework in math and science (thirteen AP exams' worth) means she's equally comfortable drilling the Math section's trig and algebra traps and showing students how to strip Science passages down to their data. Rated 4.9 by students.

Theater training at NYU's Tisch School might seem unrelated to the ACT, but Michael's drama background sharpened exactly the close-reading and rhetorical analysis skills that drive the English and Reading sections — and his 35 composite proves the math and science chops are just as real. He approaches prep by teaching students to read ACT passages the way an actor breaks down a script: hunting for intent, structure, and the specific details the questions are actually testing.

Scoring a 34 composite on the ACT means Raquel performed at a high level across all four sections — Math, Science, English, and Reading — which lets her pinpoint exactly where a student is losing points and why. Her background spans both STEM and humanities, so she's equally comfortable breaking down data interpretation passages in Science as she is tackling rhetorical strategy questions in English. She builds section-specific pacing strategies so students stop running out of time on the sections that trip them up most.

Neunika scored a 33 on the ACT and brings an analytical, CS-trained mindset to breaking down each section — from identifying grammar patterns in English to eliminating answer choices efficiently in Science. She's especially sharp on the Math section's later questions, where algebra, functions, and coordinate geometry concepts ramp up in complexity and time pressure becomes the real obstacle.

Kevin scored a 33 ACT composite and breaks the test into repeatable strategies for each section — from pacing on the Science passages to identifying grammar patterns in English. His science background at UC Santa Barbara gives him a particular edge on the Math and Science sections, where knowing how to read data-heavy questions quickly makes the biggest difference. Rated by students who've seen real score jumps, he treats prep as a skill to build, not a mystery to solve.

Philosophy grad work and an English degree mean Ben spends his days building arguments and pulling apart prose — skills that translate directly to the ACT's Reading and English sections, where most students lose points on rhetorical purpose and evidence-evaluation questions. His 33 composite and comfort teaching math and science round out full-exam coverage, but his real strength is the Writing section, where he teaches students to construct a thesis under time pressure the way a philosophy student would frame an argument on an exam.

Christina scored a 34 ACT composite and treats prep as a strategic exercise — breaking each section into its own set of timing tactics and question patterns so students know exactly what to expect on test day. Her computer science background gives her a particularly systematic approach to the Math and Science sections, where she teaches students to read data displays quickly and avoid common trap answers. She covers all five sections, including the optional Writing test.

Having tutored math for years while studying English literature at Harvard, Ema covers both halves of the ACT without faking fluency in either — she's as comfortable drilling algebra shortcuts in the Math section as she is unpacking rhetorical structure in Reading and English. Her 33 composite and 1540 SAT reflect genuine cross-section strength, and she uses that range to build prep plans around whichever sections are actually costing a student points. Rated 5.0 by students.

Having tutored both the content-heavy sections and the writing side of the ACT, Aaron brings an unusual balance — his bio-psychology studies at UCSB keep the Science and Reading sections sharp, while his experience editing college essays translates directly to the English section's grammar and rhetorical questions. He earned a 32 composite and uses a conversational, talk-it-through style that gets students explaining their reasoning out loud, which is especially effective for catching the careless errors that silently drag down scores. Rated 5.0 by students.
