Austin
Certified ACT Tutor
Austin
BA University of Notre Dame
15+ Years Tutoring

Classics and philosophy trained Austin to do two things quickly: parse dense texts and build logical arguments from limited evidence — which maps almost perfectly onto ACT Reading and Science, where students need to extract answers from unfamiliar passages under serious time pressure. His 33 composite and breadth across math, biology, and writing mean he covers all four sections without relying on generic tricks, connecting each question type back to the specific reasoning skill it's actually testing.

Emily
Certified ACT Tutor
Emily
BA Indiana University-Bloomington • Doctor of Medicine, Community Health and Preventive Medicine Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis
8+ Years Tutoring

Medical school trained Emily to absorb massive amounts of information under pressure and then perform — which is essentially what the ACT demands across all four sections in under three hours. Her 35 composite, biology and Spanish double major, plus math and chemistry minors mean she genuinely knows the content behind every section rather than relying on test-day tricks alone. Rated 5.0 by students.

Ritik
BA Purdue University-Main Campus
6+ Years Tutoring

Having struggled as a test taker himself before earning a perfect 36 composite, Ritik knows the difference between understanding ACT content and knowing how to perform under the exam's time pressure — and he teaches both. His aerospace engineering background at Purdue keeps the Math and Science sections sharp, while six years of tutoring students from elementary through college means he can quickly diagnose where someone's losing points and adjust strategy accordingly.

Satvik
Current Undergrad Student, Aerospace Engineering Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus
7+ Years Tutoring

Leading Carmel High School's Science Olympiad team to back-to-back Nationals appearances meant Satvik had to master rapid problem-solving under pressure across dozens of STEM events — the same skill set the ACT rewards in its Math and Science sections, where speed and accuracy have to coexist. His aerospace engineering coursework at Georgia Tech keeps the quantitative reasoning sharp, while his experience as a computing TA means he can actually explain the English and Reading logic clearly, not just get the answers right himself. He holds a perfect 36 composite and a 5.0 student rating.

Aidan
BA University of Notre Dame
6+ Years Tutoring

Notre Dame's Science-Computing program forced Aidan to think across disciplines — organic chemistry one day, algorithm design the next — which is exactly the mental flexibility the ACT demands across its four sections. He earned a 35 composite and uses his premed and CS training to demystify the Science section's data-heavy passages while keeping his English and Reading strategies grounded in the close-reading skills his coursework required.

Alexis
BA Purdue University-Main Campus
8+ Years Tutoring

Chemical engineering at Purdue means Alexis spends her days solving multi-step quantitative problems under pressure — the exact skill set the ACT's Math and Science sections reward. But her 35 composite shows she's equally sharp on the verbal half, where she teaches students to treat English questions as pattern-matching exercises and Reading passages as arguments to dissect rather than absorb. Rated 5.0 by students.

Amy
BA University of Notre Dame
6+ Years Tutoring

Two years as a Mathnasium instructor taught Amy how to diagnose exactly where a student's reasoning breaks down — a skill she now applies across all four ACT sections, not just Math. Her biochemistry training at Notre Dame means the Science section's dense experimental passages read like familiar territory, and she covers English and Reading with the same precision her 35 composite suggests. She builds section-specific timing plans so students stop running out of clock on the passages that matter most.

Anya
BA Davidson College
1+ Years Tutoring

Five years of teaching math across every level — from arithmetic through college algebra — means Anya knows exactly which quantitative skills the ACT tests hardest and where students tend to lose points. She also covers the English, Reading, and Science sections, breaking each one into repeatable strategies like time-per-passage pacing and graph-reading shortcuts that turn a four-section exam into a manageable routine.

Lauren
BA Duke University
6+ Years Tutoring

Running neuroimmune research in Duke's Bilbo lab means Lauren reads dense scientific figures and data tables every day — the exact skill that makes the ACT Science section click for students who overthink it. Her 35 composite and dual strength in STEM and writing (she tutors everything from organic chemistry to college essays) let her build section-by-section plans that address each student's actual weak spots rather than running generic practice tests. Rated 4.8 by students.

Charles
BA University of Notre Dame
7+ Years Tutoring

Two years as a student tutor at Marquette University High School taught Charles something most test-prep guides skip — how to spot the exact moment a concept stops making sense and reframe it on the fly, a skill that matters across all four ACT sections. His 34 composite reflects balanced strength in both the math-heavy and language-heavy halves of the test, backed by coursework in finance at Notre Dame and a genuine love of reading and writing that keeps his English and Reading strategies as sharp as his Math approach.

Victoria
Current Undergrad Student, Biology, General Dartmouth College
6+ Years Tutoring

Studying human biology at Dartmouth means Victoria genuinely understands the science content behind ACT Science passages — but her breadth across Spanish, calculus, literature, and essay editing means she's not just strong on one section. She earned a 34 composite and uses that cross-subject fluency to teach students how each section rewards different reading habits, from skimming data tables efficiently to catching the grammar traps that repeat every test cycle.

9+ Years Tutoring

Notre Dame's engineering program throws calculus, physics, and technical writing at Alexandra daily — which means the ACT's Math and Science sections run on skills she's actively using, while her literature and essay editing work keeps the English and Reading sides covered. She earned a 1530 SAT and 32 ACT composite, giving her firsthand experience with both major college-entrance exams and the different pacing each one demands. Rated 5.0 by students.
