I am working toward my B.S. in Education at the University of Miami, which I will complete this coming May. My degree specializes in a few areas, all within the social sciences: Human and Social Development, Geography, Urban studies, and Sociology. I love working with students one on one, and have even traveled to South Africa to work in after school programs helping middle school students better grasp concepts in English and Math. I tutor a wide variety of subjects in the social sciences, as well as test preparation for high school students who are trying to improve their SAT and ACT scores. These tests are my favorite subjects to help students with because it is satisfying to see measurable improvement in scores that will ultimately help students get into their dream colleges. My philosophy is that all students can succeed if they are motivated to do well and willing to put in the time and effort that it will take to reach the level they want. My job is to give students the basic tools that they need before they can help themselves. Outside of school and work, I love to be outdoors! I enjoy bicycling, yoga, running, and going to the beach on the weekends. I also love traveling, discovering new places and people, and getting to know them.

Most ACT Reading mistakes come from running out of time, not from misunderstanding the passages. Sean teaches a pacing strategy built around identifying question types — detail retrieval, inference, vocabulary in context — so students know exactly what to look for before they reread a single line. His own 32 ACT composite came partly from treating the Reading section as a speed exercise with rules, not a leisurely read.
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 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.
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.
I am currently a student at the University of Central Florida, majoring in Biotechnology and in the Burnett Medical Scholars Program.
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.
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 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.
I am graduated from Penn State University in Industrial Engineering in 2017. I've tutored ever since I was in high school, and I love helping people! I like to help my students understand math (and other topics) instead of just doing it blindly. My goal is to help my students improve their math (and other topics) and build skills that will help them find learning easier in the future! Fun fact, I used to work for Disney and I like to salsa dance!
Most students lose points on ACT Reading not because they can't comprehend the passages but because they spend too long hunting for answers in the wrong places. Gabriel treats the section like a timed scavenger hunt — he teaches specific annotation shortcuts for each passage type (prose fiction, social science, humanities, natural science) that cut re-reading time dramatically. His 35 ACT composite shows the approach works.
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.
