Award-Winning ACT Science Tutors
serving Lexington, KY

I am medical student attending the University of Kentucky. My experience tutoring has both informal and formal components. Informally, I have tutored fellow students in classes that we share. Formally, I teach an organic chemistry recitation at UK. Subjects that I tutor are organic chemistry, mathematics, and biology. I do not have a favorite subject to tutor because I find there to be something very interesting about each subject. My philosophy to teaching is to look at it with the perspective of an enjoyable intellectual conversation. Learning is life-long so let us find the enjoyment in learning. My hobbies outside of academia include listening to music, cooking, and badminton.

I am currently a rising senior at the University of Kentucky. I am working towards my Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in math and neuroscience. I have been tutoring students from elementary to high school for four years in math. I enjoy working with students, of course to provide academic support, but also to build an environment that encourages them to think outside the box and feel comfortable in doing so. I do tutor high school chemistry, but my primary focus is on various levels of math. From my experience, teaching mathematical concepts can be challenging without being able to adapt to the strengths of weaknesses of every individual. I believe it is crucial that students are given an opportunity to learn that adheres to their individual characteristics. Aside from academia, I enjoy staying physically active, volunteering throughout my community, and being a huge sports fanatic.

The ACT Science section barely tests science knowledge — it's really about reading graphs, interpreting conflicting viewpoints, and extracting trends from dense data tables under time pressure. Logan scored a 36 composite and trains students to ignore the intimidating terminology and zero in on what each figure actually shows. Once students see it as a data-literacy exercise, scores jump quickly.

I am no longer needed.

I am 22 years old and just graduated from the University of Kentucky with a double degree in French and Biochemistry. I have been a tutor for over a year now at UK's tutoring center. I believe that anyone can learn anything with enough practice and encouragement, and I love helping students overcome challenges and gain more self-confidence!

I'm a coterminal master's student at Stanford University in California majoring in Computer Science (Biocomputation). Throughout high school and college, I've taken many courses in computer science, the life sciences (biology and chemistry), and math; and I've been through a lot of standardized tests. For computer science in particular, I have a lot of experience writing software in Python and C++ for AI and systems classes, and I'll be interning as a software engineer at Facebook this summer. I got a lot of great tips and mentorship from tutors along the way, and would love to pass along what I know!

The ACT Science section is really a data interpretation test disguised as science — and Troy, who scored a 34 composite, teaches students to read graphs, tables, and experimental setups quickly without getting distracted by unfamiliar terminology. His biochemistry background means he can also clarify the actual science when a passage requires genuine content knowledge, which gives students extra confidence on the trickier conflicting-viewpoints questions.

I am a graduate of the University of Kentucky with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and a minor in Art Studio. I am currently working toward my Masters of Arts in Game Development at the Savannah College of Art and Design. I am deeply passionate about helping students unleash their full potential. Witnessing the "aha" moments when they grasp a challenging concept is very rewarding. I tutor a range of subjects from computer science principles and programming languages (C, C++, Java, etc.) to game development in Unity and 3D art in various software.

The ACT Science section barely tests science knowledge — it's really about reading graphs, interpreting experimental setups, and drawing conclusions from conflicting data sets. Matthew's biomedical engineering training means parsing dense figures and tables is second nature to him. He teaches students to ignore jargon, locate variables quickly, and answer most questions in under a minute.

I'm looking forward to putting my knowledge to work for you!

The ACT Science section barely tests science knowledge — it's really about interpreting graphs, tables, and conflicting experimental designs under time pressure. As a neuroscience major who reads dense research data regularly, Janki teaches students to extract trends from figures before even reading the surrounding text. That data-first approach turns the section's tight pacing from a problem into something manageable.

Most students overthink ACT Science because they assume it tests content knowledge — it's really a data interpretation exam disguised as science. Richard, who spent years reading dense research in medical school and in his own bacterial research, teaches students to extract trends from graphs, evaluate experimental design, and handle conflicting-viewpoints passages efficiently.

The ACT Science section barely tests science knowledge — it's really about interpreting graphs, comparing experimental setups, and drawing conclusions from conflicting data sets. As a biochemistry graduate now studying bioengineering, Andrew reads scientific figures daily and teaches students to extract exactly the information each question demands. His 34 composite came partly from treating this section as a data literacy exercise.

I am a graduate of the University of Louisville, holding Bachelor's Degrees in English and Political Science, minors in Spanish and Social Change, and a Certificate in Peace, Justice, and Conflict Transformation. Although my major studies were not specifically within education, I discovered that my heart belongs in the classroom, as I love seeing students discover their strengths and skills. I hold strong to having a "growth mindset" and being a continuous learner. I believe in the power of education to empower all students. I am passionate about helping others achieve to the best of their abilities!

I am in my second year at MIT studying mathematics, and I am currently doing a research project in Spectral Graph Theory. I have been a tutor since my junior year in high school, and I enjoy teaching all levels of math; everything from pre-algebra through calculus and linear algebra! I focus primarily on making sure that the definitions and processes given in class make intuitive sense, so that math can begin to feel like second nature.

I'm Lizz, a middle school math teacher working in Chicago Public Schools. I love to see students go from describing themselves as "not a math person" to feeling like they meet exciting challenges in math and other parts of their lives. Even though I love working in the classroom, I feel like tutoring allows me to make more of an impact and connect with students.

The ACT Science section barely tests science knowledge — it tests whether you can read a graph under pressure and extract the right data point in seconds. Emily scored a 36 composite and, as a computational biology major at Cornell, spends her coursework interpreting exactly these kinds of data-heavy figures. She walks students through conflicting-viewpoints passages and experimental design questions until the format feels routine.

Most students overthink the ACT Science section because they assume it requires deep content knowledge — it doesn't. Dana treats it as a data interpretation exercise, teaching students to read graphs, compare experimental setups, and identify conflicting viewpoints without getting lost in unfamiliar terminology. She scored a 36 composite and finds this section is often where students see the fastest score jumps once they shift their 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.

The ACT Science section is less about knowing biology or chemistry and more about reading graphs, interpreting experimental setups, and comparing competing hypotheses under time pressure. Sydney treats it as a data-literacy exercise, teaching students to extract trends from figures before they even look at the answer choices. Her 35 ACT composite speaks to how well that approach works in practice.

The ACT Science section looks intimidating, but it's really a test of how quickly students can pull data from graphs, tables, and conflicting viewpoints — not how much biology or chemistry they remember. Jiatian, who has spent years interpreting research data in medical school, teaches students to ignore the jargon and zero in on trends, variables, and experimental design. That shift in mindset alone often unlocks significant score gains.

Treating the ACT Science section like a science test is the fastest way to run out of time. Eileen approaches it as a data interpretation exercise — she teaches students to read graph axes and table headers before touching the questions, which eliminates the panic that comes from unfamiliar topics like geology or astrophysics. Her 36 ACT composite backs up the approach.

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.

I'm a recent college graduate with degrees in Biological Sciences and Russian from Ohio University. During my time there, I tutored students in a variety of subjects, including biology, chemistry, and Spanish. In addition, I worked as both a peer advisor and teaching assistant, which gives me insight into the learning strategies and study skills that students need to succeed. As a tutor, I like to focus on doing actual problems with students because it is the most effective way to immediately identify their strengths and weaknesses and to address them. In my free time, I like to lift weights, read books, and spend time with my friends.

The ACT Science section tests data interpretation far more than scientific knowledge, but students with science backgrounds still have an edge in parsing unfamiliar experiments quickly. Danielle is a first-year med student at Pitt with a biology degree from Tufts, so conflicting-viewpoints passages and complex data tables are second nature to her. She scored a 36 composite and teaches students to read graphs before reading text — a simple shift that consistently saves time.

I am a patient, intellectual, and calm college student at the University of Michigan passionate about tutoring others to improve their proficiency in a wide variety of subjects. I teach students by creating individualized plans that cater to the strengths and weaknesses of the student. I work hard and as long as it takes to ensure that the student derives maximum benefit. I love teaching a wide variety of subjects, and have a speciality in standardized tests.
