Award-Winning ACT Science Tutors
serving Des Moines, IA

The ACT Science section barely tests science knowledge — it's really about interpreting graphs, comparing experimental setups, and drawing conclusions from conflicting data sets under time pressure. Ilesh treats it as a data-literacy drill, teaching students to extract the key variable from a figure in seconds rather than reading every word of the passage first. His own 36 composite backs up the approach.

I am a 2023 graduate of the University of Notre Dame with a Finance/Economics major and a minor in Innovation and Entrepreneurship. I am a passionate student in the math and business realms, as I enjoy the intuitiveness of the former and the real-world potential of the latter. During classes in middle and high school, I developed a reputation of being a good source of help within my classes in a non-tutor capacity, and grew that into a peer tutor role a couple times a week during lunch my senior year of high school. What I hope to accomplish with my tutoring is ensure that you not only achieve your desired grade/score, but see how the different concepts relate to each other in the bigger picture. The more important part is to critically think about the subject matter in other, more unfamiliar contexts. Also, in my math subjects, I seek to provide personal secrets in realms including quicker computation strategies, unique acronyms for certain rules, and other intuitive shortcuts.

I am a recent graduate of Cornell University, where I received a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and graduated Magna Cum Laude. Over the past several years, I have worked with students from diverse backgrounds and experiences tutoring thermodynamics (my personal favorite), chemistry, and math. I have also tutored in the past for ACT/SAT and other subjects such as history, but I am deeply passionate about science and engineering. I tend to push my students to understand conceptual topics, as opposed to rote or algorithmic learning. In my free time, I love to bake sourdough, learn about history, garden, and recently started biking again.

The ACT Science section is really a data interpretation exam dressed up in lab coats. Vansh — who earned a 36 composite — teaches students to read graphs, compare experimental setups, and identify conflicting hypotheses quickly, spending minimal time on the passage text itself. His engineering training at Georgia Tech reinforces the analytical reading skills this section actually rewards.

I am a current sophomore at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where I am majoring in Biology as part of the 7 Year Accelerated Medical Program. I am also minoring in Healthcare Economics and Policy. My favorite subjects in school are Chemistry, Biology, and Math, but I also enjoy the process of writing and editing thought provoking essays. During high school, I spent time tutoring for the National Honor Society. My approach to tutoring is to teach the concepts in a simplistic manner and reinforcing the concepts while adding difficulty through effective practice problems. In my free time, I have recently found myself reading, working out, drawing, and spending time with my siblings.

Most students panic when they see an unfamiliar experiment on the ACT Science section, but the test is really about interpreting graphs, tables, and conflicting viewpoints under time pressure. Sugi's dual background in biochemistry and cognitive science — plus years of reading dense research literature in medical school — makes her especially effective at teaching students to extract data quickly without getting lost in scientific jargon. Her perfect 36 ACT speaks for itself.

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.

The ACT Science section is really a data-interpretation exam disguised as science, and Talia treats it that way. She breaks down how to read conflicting-scientist passages, extract trends from dense graphs, and eliminate answer choices without needing any outside scientific knowledge — the same approach that earned her a perfect 36 composite.

The ACT Science section isn't really a science test — it's a data interpretation test disguised as one. Ryne scored a perfect 36 ACT composite and teaches students to read graphs, compare experimental designs, and identify conflicting viewpoints without getting bogged down by unfamiliar terminology. His systematic approach to passage triage and data extraction turns a section many students dread into one of their most reliable scores.

I am currently a student at Duke University studying Biomedical Engineering and Economics. Just a little bit about me and some of my interests. Some of my favorite academic interests include memoirs and modern classics. I think Catcher in the Rye is still one of my all time favorite books but Percy Jackson, a modern classic, is up there too. Beyond academics, I take great guilty pleasure in watching TV shows such as Westworld, Sherlock, How I Met Your Mother, and even The Bachelorette when I'm at a low point.

The ACT Science section isn't really a science test — it's a data interpretation test disguised as one. Emily's background in biology, chemistry, and biostatistics means she can quickly teach students to parse conflicting viewpoints passages and extract trends from dense graphs, which is where most points are lost. Her 35 ACT composite shows she's mastered the pacing and strategy the section demands.

The ACT Science section isn't really a science test — it's a test of how quickly you can read graphs, interpret conflicting viewpoints, and pull the right data from dense passages. Eric scored a 36 ACT composite and teaches students to treat each passage like a business case: identify what's being measured, find the trend, and answer without overthinking. That systematic approach turns a section most students dread into one of their most reliable score boosters.
