Hello! I am Jason Min, a recent college graduate looking to do some tutoring over the summer. Please feel free to ask me questions!

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!
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.
The ACT Science section isn't really a science test — it's a data interpretation exercise disguised as one. Christopher scored a 35 composite and teaches students to read graphs, compare experimental designs, and identify conflicting viewpoints quickly, drawing on his mechanical engineering background at Harvard to make scientific reasoning feel intuitive.
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.
Treat the ACT Science section like a data-interpretation exercise, not a biology or chemistry quiz — that's the approach Benjamin teaches, and it's how he earned a perfect 36 composite. His computer science training makes him especially sharp at reading graphs, tables, and conflicting experimental designs quickly, and he walks students through the exact process for each passage type.
I am available to tutor in a broad range of subjects, though I am most passionate about Economics, History, and Civics. Please feel free to contact me and I would be happy to arrange a session.
Despite its name, ACT Science barely tests science knowledge — it's really about reading graphs, interpreting experimental setups, and drawing conclusions from data tables under time pressure. Kerr unpacks each passage type (data representation, research summaries, conflicting viewpoints) and teaches students exactly where to look for answers. His 36 composite came partly from treating this section as a reading exercise, not a science exam.
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 of ACT Science isn't really about science — it's about reading graphs, interpreting experimental setups, and spotting trends under time pressure. David treats it as a data-literacy exercise, drilling students on how to extract the right information from dense figures without getting lost in unfamiliar terminology. His 36 ACT composite confirms he's mastered this approach himself.
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.
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.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and commitment level, but most students see meaningful gains within 8-12 weeks of focused preparation. Students who work with a tutor typically improve faster than those studying alone, since personalized instruction targets your specific weak areas—whether that's data interpretation, experimental design, or time management. Many students improve by 2-4 points on the ACT Science section, though your individual results will depend on your baseline score and how consistently you practice.
The ACT Science section gives you just 5.3 minutes per passage to read, analyze, and answer 6-7 questions—which is the core timing challenge most students face. Many students waste time reading every word of the passage when they should be skimming for key information and focusing on the data tables and graphs. A tutor can teach you strategic reading techniques and help you practice pacing drills so you're comfortable moving quickly without sacrificing accuracy.
The ACT Science section has three main question types: Data Representation (interpreting graphs and tables), Research Summaries (understanding experimental design), and Conflicting Viewpoints (comparing different scientific perspectives). Each type requires different skills—Data Representation is about reading visuals quickly, Research Summaries tests your understanding of methodology, and Conflicting Viewpoints requires careful reading and comparison. Knowing how to approach each type strategically can significantly improve your speed and accuracy across the section.
The best way is to take full-length practice tests under timed conditions, then carefully review which question types and topics gave you trouble. Look for patterns—do you struggle more with biology, chemistry, or physics passages? Are you missing questions because you misread the data, or because you don't understand the science concepts? A tutor can analyze your practice test results with you and pinpoint exactly where to focus your studying, saving you time and preventing you from drilling topics you already know well.
Most students benefit from 6-12 weeks of consistent preparation, with 3-5 hours per week dedicated to ACT Science specifically. Your timeline depends on your target score and starting point—if you're aiming for a significant improvement, you'll want more time to practice and refine your strategies. A tutor can help you create a personalized study schedule that fits your timeline and builds in regular practice tests so you can track progress and adjust your approach as needed.
Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or uncertain about the format—both things that tutoring directly addresses. By practicing timed passages repeatedly and building confidence in your strategies, you'll feel calmer on test day. Tutors can also teach you specific techniques like controlled breathing and positive self-talk, and help you develop a pre-test routine that puts you in the right mindset. The more familiar and practiced you feel with the section, the less anxiety typically shows up.
Most students should take at least 4-6 full-length practice tests under timed conditions before test day, with at least 2-3 of those being official ACT practice tests. Practice tests serve two purposes: they help you build stamina and get comfortable with pacing, and they give you concrete data about what to study. A tutor can help you space out your practice tests strategically throughout your preparation timeline, review your results with you, and adjust your study plan based on what the tests reveal about your strengths and weaknesses.
Look for someone with strong science knowledge, proven ACT test-taking experience, and a track record of helping students improve their scores. The best tutors understand not just the science content but also the specific strategies and time management skills the ACT Science section requires. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors for students in New Orleans who can customize their approach to your learning style and goals, whether you need help with content review, test strategy, or building confidence.
