Award-Winning ACT Science Tutors
serving Lancaster, CA

Treating the ACT Science section as a data-interpretation exercise rather than a science quiz is the key shift most students need. Zhenrui's background in electrical engineering and premed coursework at Columbia means he can quickly decode graphs, conflicting viewpoints passages, and experimental designs — and he teaches students the same systematic reading approach that earned him a perfect 36 composite.

I'm an affable chemistry-loving person whose joy come from delivering knowledge :D

Most students panic when they see dense graphs and conflicting scientist viewpoints on the ACT Science section, but the actual science knowledge required is minimal. Jackie, who scored a 35 here, treats it as a data interpretation exercise — teaching students to read axes, identify trends, and compare experimental setups before even glancing at the answer choices. Her 5.0 rating speaks to how quickly that approach clicks.

The ACT Science section is really a data-interpretation exam dressed up in lab coats — students rarely need outside science knowledge. Michael treats each passage like a puzzle: he teaches students to read graphs and tables first, ignore jargon that doesn't appear in the questions, and identify conflicting viewpoints in the Dueling Scientists format before time runs short.

I am currently a sophomore at NYU studying English and Journalism. However, I can help with almost any subject, including math and science, as I took advanced-level courses and 13 AP tests in high school. I have years of experience tutoring students of all ages, from elementary school through high school. In my spare time, I enjoy playing the violin, reading, and writing. I live in New York City during the academic year (September - May) and would be happy to tutor in-person (depending on the travel distance) then. Of course, if you/your child is more comfortable with online tutoring, I can tutor online year-round. Thanks for dropping by, and I hope to work with you/your child soon!

I am currently attending UCLA School of Dentistry. I have spent a big chunk of my life tutoring. I had 600 hours of volunteer experience tutoring 5th graders in language. I also was the Tutoring Head of the Science National Honor Society in high school and spent every week tutoring high school level biology and chemistry. I spent one summer working at Kumon tutoring children in basic math and reading. In college, I spent two years tutoring adults to pass their GED. I was also an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant (UTA) for a development and physiology biology class, as well as a Peer Tutor for other intro level biology classes. If you chose me as your tutor, I look forward to working with you and helping you be the best student you can be!

I am a 2018 graduate of University of California Santa Barbara, with a B.S. degree in Biological Sciences through the Honors Program. I consider education to be tremendously important not just during development, but also throughout life. I believe it's critical to establish the right attitude toward learning; a feat that once accomplished can improve a student's long-term output in school. Education is an integral part of my career choice: I aspire to become a physician, a career intertwined with knowledge and education. However, teaching and learning are present in every career, and every part of life for that matter.

I am a recent graduate of Harvard University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in English Literature with an emphasis on screenwriting. Although I love literature and writing, I am most passionate about tutoring math. I have five years of experience as a math tutor, during which time I helped students ages 3-17 with math ranging from basic arithmetic to pre-calculus. My favorite math topic is algebra, particularly because of its usefulness in solving real-world word problems. In addition to mathematics, I find joy in teaching/elucidating Shakespeare to high-school students. As a classically trained actor, I find it fun to tackle Shakespeare’s dense texts from a performance and character-driven perspective. In my spare time, I enjoy vegan baking and roller-blading.

Most of the ACT Science section isn't testing what students know about biology or chemistry — it's testing whether they can read graphs, compare experimental setups, and draw conclusions from data. As a scientist with a computer science background built on data analysis, Christina walks students through exactly how to extract answers from figures and tables without getting distracted by unfamiliar terminology.

I am passionate about living life to the fullest and making a difference in the lives of others.

The ACT Science section is really a data-interpretation exam disguised as science — students rarely need outside knowledge and almost always need to read graphs, compare experimental setups, and spot trends under time pressure. Ben treats it like a close-reading exercise, teaching students to identify what each figure actually shows before jumping to the questions. His 33 ACT composite speaks to his command of this approach.

Most students overthink the ACT Science section by trying to recall biology or chemistry content, when the real skill is reading graphs, interpreting experimental designs, and spotting trends in data tables under time pressure. Chandler pairs his 34 ACT composite score with daily lab experience as a Chemistry major at Occidental, so he teaches students exactly how to extract answers from figures without getting distracted by unfamiliar terminology.

Most students panic when they see unfamiliar experiments on the ACT Science section, but Aaron treats it as a data-reading exercise — the actual science knowledge required is minimal compared to the skill of extracting trends from tables and graphs under time pressure. As a bio-psychology major on the pre-med track, he's comfortable with every content area the section throws in, from chemistry to biology to physics. He scored a 32 ACT composite and holds a 5.0 student rating.

As a biology major who also tutors chemistry and physics, Nicholas is unusually well-suited for the ACT Science section — he can explain the actual science behind a confusing graph when that context makes the question click faster. But he also emphasizes that most Science questions are really about reading data tables and interpreting experimental design, not recalling content. His 33 ACT composite backs up that dual approach of scientific literacy and test strategy.

I'm particularly passionate about chemistry, and am excited to share my enthusiasm for science with others. With the life sciences, I emphasize overall understanding in place of rote memorization. With math, I stress practice to best develop critical thinking and problem solving techniques. These are general strategies that can be adapted to meet the unique learning style of each student.

I am confident that by tailoring personalized learning sessions to individual student needs and giving students the resources and skills they need to succeed, any student can ace their next exam, get the best grade, or get into the college of their dreams.

I am a certified ESL instructor with bachelor's and master's degrees in linguistics. I received my Bachelor of Arts from the University of Illinois in 2006, and my Master of Arts from the Graduate University of Applied Linguistics in Dallas, Texas in 2012. My teaching experience includes one year of teaching elementary classes in South Korea (2009-2010), one year of teaching all ages at a private school in Japan (2013-2014), and one year of teaching adult classes in Pasadena, California (2014-present). I have also tutored students in a variety of subjects and grade levels. In addition to ESL, I offer tutoring in reading, writing, grammar, and test prep for the ACT, SAT, and TOEFL. I love teaching because it allows me to use my passion for language to help other people. I believe that we should always be learning, and that learning should be wonderful and exciting. I strive to inspire my students to curiosity and guide them towards independence in their education. In my free time, I enjoy reading, going out for coffee with friends, and occasionally going dancing.

I am a graduate of Southern Methodist University. I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre Studies, with a focus on acting and directing. Since beginning high school, I have spent much of my extracurricular and summer time tutoring, mentoring, and counseling students elementary though high school age. While a tutor a fair amount of subjects, I sincerely enjoy exploring English, Literature, and French. I love the English and Literatue because both subjects connect deeply to my love for theatre, and I love French because I have lived in France twice; once when I was 7 in Paris, and again when I was 16 in the Nord Pas-de-Calais region. I would say my teaching style depends directly on the student, but generally, I love acting like I'm a student too and find fun ways to address the issues they're facing in practical ways. I always try to get my students to appreciate the skills they develop by showing them how they're useful in everyday life. When I'm not tutoring, I enjoy trying new restaurants, going for a swim, practicing my singing, and going to acting class.

Most students overthink ACT Science because they assume they need to know biology, chemistry, and physics cold. Gabriel reframes the section as a data-interpretation exercise: reading graphs, comparing experimental setups, and spotting trends in tables, all under tight time constraints. His dual strength in science and reading comprehension — plus a 34 ACT composite — makes him especially effective at teaching this hybrid skill.

I am able to tutor in multiple science subjects, standardized tests (SAT, ACT) and social sciences (public health, political science). I would be happy to help with any age. I help students by getting to know their background and understanding of the subject and helping them build upon that knowledge base through the sessions.

The ACT Science section barely tests science knowledge — it's really about reading graphs, interpreting data tables, and comparing experimental setups under time pressure. As a physics-engineering major who lives in data and lab reports, Valerie is in her element here. She teaches students to extract trends from figures in seconds and ignore the intimidating scientific jargon that's designed to slow them down.

I'm Katrina--a recent transplant to LA and also a recent grad of Yale University! Reading and writing have been integral to my life over the past few years as a Film and Media Studies and Sociology double major. I believe that crafting text can be a fun hobby and a very useful skill. Yet, it can often be challenging. I know what it is like to need help with schoolwork, and I know what it is like to provide that help for others. I believe that with patience and effort, we can solve any problem!

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. Luke scored a 32 ACT composite and teaches students to strip each passage down to its visual data before touching the questions, a strategy that cuts wasted time on dense scientific jargon. Rated 4.9 by students.

I am a graduate of the University of Miami, where I received my Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing. I also earned a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of California Irvine. In my eight years of tutoring and teaching, I have worked with teens and adults across the United States, as well as two years teaching young children in Japan. My tutoring specialty is in Verbal, Writing, and Critical Reading for the GRE, SAT, and ACT, but I have an overall passion for English language and literature. I believe that the best teaching is usually calm and fun, which springs from a personal relationship based on care and trust for one another. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy writing, cooking (especially vegetarian and gluten-free/allergen-free cuisines), running, and traveling to new cities.

Most students overthink the ACT Science section because they assume it requires deep content knowledge — it doesn't. It's really a data interpretation exam that tests whether you can read graphs, compare experimental setups, and spot conflicting viewpoints in under a minute per question. Austin breaks each passage type into a specific reading strategy so students stop hunting for science they already know and start extracting the answers the figures already contain.

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.

The ACT Science section barely tests science knowledge — it tests whether you can read a graph, compare two experimental setups, and draw a conclusion under time pressure. Sharan's 36 composite and her premed science background at Cornell mean she can teach both the data-interpretation shortcuts the section demands and the underlying biology or chemistry when a question does require content knowledge.

I am a junior at Purdue University studying Aerospace Engineering and am part of the Air Force ROTC program. I have 6 years of tutoring experience at places including Kumon, Mathnasium, and Purdue University. I have worked with kids of all ages from kindergarten to sophomores in college, each with their own set of unique strengths, and tutored a variety of subjects, including calculus, trigonometry, geometry, thermodynamics, chemistry, and physics. Like many of my previous students, I struggled to understand concepts that I was being taught and was a terrible test taker. However, I found ways to overcome my obstacles and develop an better intuition for what I was learning. I believe that it is only this intuition and understanding that helps overcome these obstacles. My least favorite thing to see people be discouraged, so with a little bit of guidance and reassurance, I want to show people that they are capable of anything they put their mind to.

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.

The ACT Science section is less about knowing biology or chemistry and more about reading graphs, interpreting experimental setups, and comparing competing hypotheses under time pressure. Sydney treats it as a data-literacy exercise, teaching students to extract trends from figures before they even look at the answer choices. Her 35 ACT composite speaks to how well that approach works in practice.

The ACT Science section is really a data interpretation exam disguised in lab coats, and Vivian teaches it that way — breaking down graphs, tables, and conflicting viewpoints without assuming any specialized science knowledge. Her perfect 36 composite came from mastering exactly this kind of strategic reading under time pressure.

Treating the ACT Science section like a science test is the fastest way to run out of time. Eileen approaches it as a data interpretation exercise — she teaches students to read graph axes and table headers before touching the questions, which eliminates the panic that comes from unfamiliar topics like geology or astrophysics. Her 36 ACT composite backs up the approach.

I am a recent magna cum laude graduate of Duke University and a full-time educator in North Carolina. I have a passion for helping young people figure things out and have experience writing professionally.

I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.

The ACT Science section is less about knowing chemistry or biology and more about interpreting graphs, tables, and conflicting experimental viewpoints under time pressure. Sarah scored a 35 ACT composite and treats this section as a data-literacy exercise, teaching students to identify variables and trends quickly without getting distracted by unfamiliar scientific jargon. Her 5.0 rating speaks to how well that approach lands.

I am a sophomore at the Georgia Institute of Technology and am working towards a major in Computer Engineering. I have been tutoring students of all ages and backgrounds in various math topics ranging from elementary school math to AP Calculus throughout high school. I love teaching math and always find it amazing to watch my students grow and improve in their mathematical abilities. While helping students with standardized testing, we go through several tricks and tactics that have helped my students succeed and have fun in the process. I am also well versed in Physics and have spent 3 years taking the highest levels of physics courses. I love playing all sports (especially soccer) and enjoy playing the guitar in my free time as well.
