Dharani
Certified ACT Tutor
Dharani
BA University of Kentucky
6+ Years Tutoring

Biology and neuroscience coursework at the University of Kentucky means Dharani genuinely understands the experiments and data in ACT Science passages — she reads them like lab reports, not puzzles. Her math minor covers the quantitative side, and four years of tutoring across every level of math sharpened her ability to spot exactly which question types eat up a student's clock. She scored a 32 composite and holds a 4.9 rating.

Jason
BA University of Kentucky
7+ Years Tutoring

As a medical student who teaches organic chemistry recitation at the University of Kentucky, Jason knows how to distill complex material into clear, repeatable strategies — a skill that translates directly to ACT prep, where recognizing question patterns across all four sections matters more than raw content knowledge. His 32 composite and broad tutoring range spanning math, science, English, and even Mandarin Chinese means he can diagnose weaknesses in any section and adjust accordingly. Rated 5.0 by students.

Logan
MS The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary • BA University of Kentucky
6+ Years Tutoring

Logan teaches every ACT section with equal fluency — his communication degree sharpens the English and Reading approach, while his calculus and physics background keeps the Math and Science strategies grounded in actual content rather than shortcut gimmicks. That 36 composite means he's seen the ceiling on every section and knows exactly which habits close the gap between a strong score and a perfect one. Rated 5.0 by students.

Jenna
BA University of Kentucky
9+ Years Tutoring

A perfect 36 composite means Jenna didn't just ace one section — she performed at ceiling across English, Math, Reading, and Science, which lets her diagnose exactly where a student is losing points and tailor strategy accordingly. Her approach to the Science section treats it as a data-interpretation exercise, teaching students to ignore jargon and zero in on graph trends and table relationships. Rated 5.0 by students, she also brings her biochemistry and French double-major background to bear on the reading-heavy sections where cross-disciplinary vocabulary matters.

Troy
BA University of Louisville
9+ Years Tutoring

Five semesters as a chemistry teaching assistant taught Troy how to diagnose exactly where a student's understanding breaks down — a skill he now applies across all four ACT sections, especially Science, where his biochemistry background lets him cut through dense experimental passages quickly. He earned a 34 composite and pairs deep math and science fluency with the grammar and essay editing chops to cover English and Reading without relying on generic test tricks.

Kevin
MS Stanford University • BA Stanford University
6+ Years Tutoring

Stanford's Biocomputation program forces Kevin to toggle between dense scientific literature, quantitative modeling, and precise technical writing on a daily basis — which maps almost perfectly onto the ACT's four-section structure. He scored a 35 composite and uses his cross-disciplinary fluency to teach students how the Science section rewards careful graph reading over actual science knowledge, and how the English section tests a surprisingly small set of grammar rules on repeat. Rated 5.0 by students.

Matthew
Current Undergrad Vanderbilt University
10+ Years Tutoring

Biomedical engineering coursework means Matthew lives in the math and science the ACT demands, but his parallel work in literature, essay editing, and Spanish keeps him sharp across the English and Reading sections too — no blind spots. He earned a 35 composite and builds section-by-section plans that zero in on the specific question types each student struggles with, whether that's the Reading section's paired-passage comparisons or the Math section's trigonometry problems that cluster near the end.

3+ Years Tutoring

Scoring a 34 composite on the ACT, Evan knows the pacing traps and question structures that trip students up across all four sections — especially the Science reasoning passages that reward careful data interpretation over actual science knowledge. His computer science background gives him a systematic, pattern-based approach to test strategy, breaking each section into repeatable decision steps rather than relying on intuition.

Janki
BA University of Kentucky

Neuroscience training means Janki reads ACT Science passages the way they're designed to be read — as data exercises, not biology quizzes — and her STEM foundation carries straight through the Math section's trig and algebra problems that dominate the back half. She scored a 34 composite and builds prep around diagnosing which question types are actually costing a student points, then drilling those specific patterns until they become automatic. Rated 4.8 by students.

A 33 ACT composite means Jesse knows firsthand how each section works — and where the test tries to trip students up. His math degree gives him a particular edge on the Math and Science sections, where he teaches students to spot the shortcut ACT question writers build into graphs and word problems. He also coaches pacing strategies across all four sections so students aren't leaving points on the table at the end.

Richard
BS Bellarmine University
8+ Years Tutoring

Richard's ACT prep zeroes in on pacing, which is where most students lose points — especially on the Science section, where 40 questions in 35 minutes demands rapid graph reading, not deep content knowledge. His medical school training made him an expert at extracting data from dense figures under time pressure, and he teaches students to apply that same systematic scanning approach across Math, English, and Reading.

He earned a 34 composite and uses that cross-disciplinary fluency to diagnose which section is actually dragging a student's score down, then builds targeted drills around those specific weak spots.

She breaks each section into learnable patterns so students stop second-guessing and start finishing with time to spare.
