Paula
Certified ACT Tutor
Paula
BA Vanderbilt University
1+ Years Tutoring

Getting past the Jeopardy! Online Test takes the same broad-but-quick knowledge retrieval the ACT rewards — and Paula brings that same cross-disciplinary range to all four sections, backed by a 32 composite and a psychology background that sharpens her read on how students actually process questions under time pressure. She zeroes in on the Reading and English sections' habit of burying correct answers in subtle phrasing shifts, then builds outward to Math and Science pacing so nothing gets left on the table. Rated 4.8 by students.

Ilesh
BA Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus
6+ Years Tutoring

Georgia Tech's Industrial and Systems Engineering program sits at the crossroads of math, data analysis, and logical reasoning — which means Ilesh trained daily in exactly the quantitative and analytical thinking the ACT tests across Math, Science, and even the evidence-based Reading questions. He earned a perfect 36 composite and uses that full-score perspective to show students not just what the right answers look like, but why the wrong ones are designed to be tempting. Rated 5.0 by students.

Sophie
BA Emory University
5+ Years Tutoring

A perfect 36 composite means Sophie has mastered every section of the ACT — but what makes her effective is how she reverse-engineers each one. She breaks the Science section down as a data-reading exercise, drills timing strategies for the Math section's final ten questions, and teaches the grammar patterns that repeat across every English passage. Rated 5.0 by students, she brings a systematic approach shaped by her dual background in philosophy and neuroscience at Emory.

Jillian
BA Tulane University of Louisiana
9+ Years Tutoring

Most students preparing for the ACT already know the content — what trips them up is translating classroom knowledge into test-day speed, especially on the Math and Science sections where time pressure is ruthless. Jillian's biomedical engineering training means she thinks natively in the quantitative and data-analysis skills those sections demand, and her 35 composite shows she executes on the verbal side too. Rated 5.0 by students.

Ethan
BA Washington University in St. Louis
6+ Years Tutoring

Neuroscience at WashU means Ethan spends his days parsing dense research and quantitative data — the same core skills the ACT's Science and Reading sections test under time pressure. He earned a 35 composite and uses his cross-disciplinary range (biology, chemistry, algebra, essay writing) to coach all four sections plus Writing, zeroing in on the specific question types where each student's clock management breaks down.

Tyler
BA Emory University
1+ Years Tutoring

Heading to Columbia medical school this fall, Tyler brings the kind of cross-disciplinary fluency — biology, Latin, calculus, literature — that means no ACT section catches him off guard, from the science data passages to the grammar-heavy English questions. His 35 composite came from treating each section as a distinct puzzle with its own timing rules, and that's exactly how he structures prep: diagnosing which section-specific habits are costing points, then drilling targeted fixes until they become automatic.

Jennifer
BA Emory University
1+ Years Tutoring

Neuroscience at Emory trains Jennifer to process dense, unfamiliar material quickly — the exact skill that makes the ACT Science section manageable and the Reading section less of a time crunch. She scored a 35 composite and pairs that cross-disciplinary background (she also tutors calculus, literature, and essay writing) with section-specific strategies that target each student's weakest scoring areas rather than blanketing the whole test.

Jackson
Current Undergrad Student, Computer Science Haverford College
9+ Years Tutoring

Having taken the SAT five times and earned a 1590, Jackson understands standardized testing from the inside — the mental stamina, the diminishing returns of content review, and the strategic adjustments that actually move scores. That test-taking fluency carries over to the ACT, where his 35 composite and dual-enrollment math background through Calculus 3 let him cover every section with real depth, especially the Math section's later problems where algebra and trig concepts collide under time pressure. Rated 5.0 by students.

Burhanuddin
BA Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus
5+ Years Tutoring

Georgia Tech's physics program forces you to think quantitatively under pressure — a skill Burhanuddin channels directly into ACT Math and Science, where his 35 composite means he knows exactly how the test rewards efficient problem-solving over brute-force calculation. He also covers English and Reading by teaching students to treat grammar questions as rule-based puzzles, the same pattern-matching mindset that carries him through his STEM coursework. Rated 5.0 by students.

Michael
MS University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign • BA University of Wisconsin Madison
14+ Years Tutoring

Scoring a 34 ACT composite while juggling a demanding biomedical engineering curriculum taught Michael how to study strategically under pressure — a skill he now passes along through targeted section-by-section prep. His science and math background makes him especially effective at breaking down the ACT Science and Math sections, where reading data quickly and recognizing problem patterns can shave minutes off pacing. He also coaches students on the English and Reading sections using the same analytical approach he applies to technical writing in his Georgia Tech graduate program.

Matthew
BA Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus
8+ Years Tutoring

A 34 ACT composite paired with a chemical engineering background from Georgia Tech means Matthew attacks each section with a different strategy — the Science section as a data-interpretation exercise, Math as pattern recognition, and English/Reading through structural analysis. He breaks down timing traps and question types so students know exactly where their points are hiding. Rated 5.0 by students.

Marion
MS Lipscomb University • BA Harvard University
8+ Years Tutoring

Having worked as both a high school science teacher and a college prep administrator, Marion knows the ACT from both sides — the content students need and the strategic habits that actually move scores. Her neurobiology training at Harvard keeps the Science and Math sections covered, while years of teaching literature and essay editing give her real fluency in English and Reading rather than surface-level familiarity. She scored a 34 composite and holds a 5.0 rating.
