Talia
Certified ACT Tutor
Talia
BA Northwestern University
5+ Years Tutoring

Talia earned a perfect 36 ACT composite, which means she didn't just do well on her strongest sections — she maxed out every single one, from the grammar patterns in English to the data-heavy Science passages that trip up even strong students. Her tutoring background spans math, writing, and reading across all grade levels, so she builds ACT prep around each student's actual weak spots rather than running a generic review. Rated 5.0 by students.

Arthur
Certified ACT Tutor
Arthur
BA Middlebury College
5+ Years Tutoring

A perfect 36 ACT composite means Arthur has mastered every section of the exam, but what sets him apart is his background in economics — he brings a data-driven, strategic mindset to pacing, question triage, and score maximization across English, Math, Reading, and Science. He's especially sharp on the Science section's data interpretation passages and the Reading section's social science and humanities pairings, where knowing how to extract arguments quickly makes all the difference.

Sydney
BA Carnegie Mellon University
8+ Years Tutoring

A dual degree in Vocal Performance and Creative Writing from Carnegie Mellon means Sydney's strengths don't cluster on one side of the ACT — she's equally at home dissecting rhetorical structure in Reading and English as she is working through the Math section's trickier back-half problems. Her 35 composite and 1600 SAT back that up, and her Phi Beta Kappa-level discipline shows in how she builds section-by-section study plans that zero in on the specific question types each student keeps getting wrong. Rated 4.9 by students.

Cindy
Current Undergrad Student, English Harvard University
9+ Years Tutoring

Harvard freshman with a 36 ACT composite — a perfect score — Cindy covers all four sections plus Writing, drawing on the same breadth that lets her tutor everything from Mandarin Chinese to calculus to college essays. Her English major sharpens the rhetorical and grammar instincts that drive the ACT's English and Reading sections, while her strong math and science chops mean she doesn't hand those sections off to someone else. Rated 5.0 by students.

Eunice
BA Northeastern University
4+ Years Tutoring

Eunice's dual focus in biology and computer science at Northeastern means she doesn't just memorize ACT strategies — she understands the underlying math, science, and logical reasoning the test is actually built on, which makes her especially effective on the Math and Science sections where content knowledge compounds with pacing. Her 35 composite and experience tutoring ESL students in English reading and writing give her a practical grasp of the language-based sections too, so nothing on the exam catches her off guard. Rated 5.0 by students.

Zoe
BA Vassar College • Current Grad Student, MD Harvard Medical School
1+ Years Tutoring

Harvard Medical School keeps Zoe immersed in the kind of dense, data-heavy reading that mirrors the ACT's Science and Reading sections — parsing experimental results and pulling key claims from complex passages is just her Tuesday. Her 1550 SAT and 32 ACT composite reflect genuine cross-section strength, and her Science, Technology, and Society degree from Vassar means she's equally comfortable unpacking rhetorical structure in English as she is working through the Math section's trickier algebra and geometry problems. Rated 5.0 by students.

Alyssa
BA Harvard University
6+ Years Tutoring

Alyssa's double major at Harvard — Environmental Science and Public Policy alongside Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality — means she reads, writes, and analyzes data across disciplines every day, which is exactly the cross-section fluency the ACT rewards. Her 35 composite reflects particular strength on the English and Reading sides, where her experience designing and teaching her own courses sharpened the argument analysis and rhetorical reasoning skills those sections test hardest.

Clare
BA Georgetown University
3+ Years Tutoring

Global Studies trained Clare to process dense, unfamiliar texts quickly and pull out the argument — which is essentially what the ACT Science and Reading sections demand under a 35-minute clock. She scored a 35 composite and covers all four sections, but she's particularly effective at showing students how to attack passage-based questions without getting lost in details they don't need. Rated 5.0 by students.

Kristen
BA Massachusetts Institute of Technology
10+ Years Tutoring

Chemical-biological engineering trained Kristen to process dense data quickly and think systematically under pressure — which is essentially what the ACT demands across all four sections, from parsing experimental setups in Science to managing the Math section's escalating difficulty. Her 36 composite means she's seen firsthand how every section rewards a specific reading strategy over raw content knowledge, and she builds prep around those section-specific habits. Rated 4.9 by students.

Nikola
BA Tufts University
4+ Years Tutoring

Nikola scored a 35 ACT composite and knows the specific pacing strategies and question patterns that separate a good score from a great one across all four sections. As a math major at Tufts, he's especially sharp on the Math and Science sections — breaking down data interpretation passages and tackling the higher-level algebra and trig questions that most students rush through.

Parita
Current Undergrad Student, Computer Science Harvard University
6+ Years Tutoring

Harvard's computer science program trains you to think in systems and logic — Parita applies that same structured thinking to the ACT, mapping each section's question types into decision trees that tell students exactly how to allocate their time. Her 35 composite and 1580 SAT reflect genuine command across reading, writing, math, and science reasoning, and her 5.0 rating suggests students actually enjoy the process of getting there.

Connie
BA Northwestern University • BA Northwestern State University of Louisiana
1+ Years Tutoring

Medical training at Boston University and a biology degree from Northwestern mean Connie has been through high-stakes standardized testing at every level — the ACT, the MCAT, the USMLE — and knows how to reverse-engineer what each exam actually rewards. She scored a 34 composite and uses that cross-test perspective to teach ACT-specific pacing and question-type recognition, especially on the Science section where her clinical training makes data interpretation second nature.
