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.

I am currently pursuing a Bachelors of Science in Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I am also a graduate of the high school International Baccalaureate Program. I have informal experience tutoring high school physics, but am most passionate about tutoring students for the ACT standardized test, having had extensive experience preparing for standardized tests throughout high school. I am eager to aid students in boosting their scores before their upcoming college applications, an important milestone in many students' lives. In my free time, I also enjoy playing tennis.
I am currently a student at the University of Central Florida, majoring in Biotechnology and in the Burnett Medical Scholars Program.
Reading four dense passages in 35 minutes forces a different kind of reading than most high schoolers are used to — it's about locating evidence fast, not savoring prose. Michael, who earned a 36 composite, teaches a passage-mapping technique that turns each section into a scavenger hunt for the specific line references and inferences the ACT rewards. His 4.9 rating speaks to how well that approach clicks with students.
Reading four dense passages in 35 minutes trips up even strong readers who don't have a system. Parker, who scored a 36 composite, teaches a passage-mapping technique that prioritizes identifying the author's argument structure before touching the questions. His dual background in computer science and studio art gives him a knack for translating both analytical and literary passages into clear takeaways.
I'm Veena and I recently graduated from the University of Miami with a B.S. in Microbiology and Immunology with Chemistry and English Literature as my minors. I've tutored at a Math and Reading learning center in high school and became an employee of the Academic Resource Center at UM where I tutored my peers in STEM subjects. I was an assistant science teacher at a middle school for a year, and a workshop leader for chemistry classes at UM.
I am no longer by their side. I seldom have students rely on "tricks"; instead, students will learn the underlying reasoning so that they can extend their solving methods to new related problem types. I look forward to applying my years of tutoring and teaching experience to help many motivated students.
The ACT Reading section isn't really testing how well you read — it's testing how quickly you can locate evidence and match it to tricky answer choices across four dense passages. Olivia scored a 34 ACT composite and teaches students to distinguish between what a passage actually says and what it merely implies, which is where most points are lost. Her approach builds speed without sacrificing accuracy on the paired and dual-passage questions that trip up even strong readers.
The ACT Reading section isn't about being a strong reader — it's about extracting answers from four dense passages in 35 minutes. Destiny, who earned a 35 ACT composite, breaks down each passage type (prose fiction, social science, humanities, natural science) and teaches students how to identify what the question is actually asking before they even look at the answer choices.
Most ACT Reading struggles come down to time — students understand the passages fine but can't process four of them in 35 minutes. Kaitlyn teaches an active-reading method that involves marking key claims and transition words on the first pass, which cuts down on re-reading when answering detail and inference questions. She scored a 33 composite on the ACT and applies that same efficiency-first mindset to every practice set.
The ACT Reading section gives students just 8 minutes and 45 seconds per passage, which means raw reading speed matters less than knowing what to look for. Cavan teaches a passage-mapping approach — tagging tone shifts, argument structure, and key claims on the first read — that turns each question into a retrieval task rather than a re-reading task. His 33 ACT composite and 5.0 tutoring rating back up the method.
I am currently a Master's student at the Rochester Institute of Technology, finishing up a Computer Science degree. I am interested specifically in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning and have two years professional experience in the industry. I have been employed at companies in California, Pennsylvania, and Florida.
