Nicholas
Certified ACT Tutor
Nicholas
BA University of Minnesota-Twin Cities
4+ Years Tutoring

Graduate-level math at the University of Illinois paired with a computer science degree means Nicholas can dissect the ACT's quantitative sections at a level most tutors can't — but his philosophy reading habit and essay editing experience keep him equally dangerous on English and Reading. His perfect 36 composite isn't just a number; it reflects a section-by-section approach where he teaches students exactly which question types to attack first and which to strategically defer when the clock tightens. Rated 4.9 by students.

Caroline
Certified ACT Tutor
Caroline
BA Stanford University
7+ Years Tutoring

Caroline's mechanical engineering degree means the ACT's Math and Science sections play to her daily skillset, but she also tutors English, literature, and essay editing — so she's not faking it on the verbal half of the test. She earned a 35 composite and builds section-by-section plans that zero in on where a student is actually losing points, whether that's trigonometry at the end of Math or the conflicting-viewpoints passages in Science.

David
BA University of Minnesota-Twin Cities
6+ Years Tutoring

David's computer science training shows up most clearly in how he teaches the ACT — he treats each section as a system to debug, isolating exactly where a student's process breaks down rather than reteaching content they already know. His perfect 36 composite means he's pressure-tested every section himself, and his CS instinct for logical structure is especially useful on Science and Math, where students often have the knowledge but lose points to disorganized problem-solving. Rated 5.0 by students.

Ryne
BA Stanford University
6+ Years Tutoring

Having completed Linear Algebra and Multivariable Calculus through the University of Minnesota's Talented Youth Math Program by 10th grade, Ryne pairs serious quantitative chops with the rhetorical and analytical skills from his political science training — covering all four ACT sections without leaning on one discipline. He earned a perfect 36 composite and, as a recent test-taker himself, knows exactly which pacing traps and question formats the current exam throws at students. Rated 4.9 by students.

Nisarg
BA University of Minnesota
1+ Years Tutoring

Scoring a 34 composite on the ACT means Nisarg knows how to perform consistently across all four sections — not just the ones that come naturally. His neuroscience background gives him a sharp read on the Science section's data interpretation passages, and he breaks down the English and Reading sections by teaching students to spot the ACT's predictable question patterns. Rated 4.9 by students, he builds section-specific strategies that turn timing pressure into a manageable routine.

Katie
MS Fordham University • BA Barnard College
9+ Years Tutoring

Katie's theater and social work training gives her an unusual ACT toolkit — she reads the English and Reading sections like someone trained to analyze texts critically, and her social work background means she picks up quickly on what's causing a student to freeze or rush through a section. She earned a 35 composite and leans hardest on the Writing, English, and Reading strategies where her literary analysis skills translate most directly into point gains.

Rohit
BA University of Minnesota
1+ Years Tutoring

Debate coaching gives Rohit something most ACT tutors lack — he trains high schoolers daily to read critically under pressure, dissect arguments on the fly, and structure written responses in minutes, which maps directly onto the Reading, English, and Writing sections. His 35 composite and dual background in economics and political science mean the Math and Science sections aren't afterthoughts either; he approaches data-heavy questions the same way he teaches debaters to handle unfamiliar evidence. Rated 5.0 by students.

Ella
BA Bethel University
8+ Years Tutoring

Ella's physics degree means she thinks in graphs, data tables, and quantitative reasoning all day — which is exactly what the ACT Science section demands, and why she treats it as the fastest section to improve once students stop trying to "do science" and start reading like a physicist skimming a journal. Her 36 composite and 5.0 rating come from covering all four sections with equal depth, but she's especially sharp at connecting the Math section's later problems to the algebra and trig concepts most students half-learned the first time around.

Jaya
BA University of Minnesota-Twin Cities
1+ Years Tutoring

Pre-med genetics and French — that combination means Jaya reads ACT Science passages like lab reports and dissects English questions with the grammatical precision her French coursework demands, covering the full exam without leaning on just one strength. She earned a 35 composite and builds section-specific strategies around each student's weakest question types, particularly the Reading section's time crunch where most 30-range scorers leave easy points behind.

Harry
Current Undergrad Student, Economics Carleton College
9+ Years Tutoring

Double-majoring in economics and math at Carleton means Harry's daily work lives at the intersection of quantitative reasoning and close reading of dense material — the exact combination the ACT demands across all four sections. He earned a 35 composite and leans especially hard on the Math and Science sections, where his comfort with graphs, models, and quick calculations lets him teach students to cut through cluttered data without second-guessing. Rated 4.8 by students.

Abbey
Current Undergrad, English, Journalism University of Minnesota-Twin Cities
10+ Years Tutoring

English and journalism training sharpens exactly the skills the ACT's Reading and English sections demand — argument tracking, rhetorical analysis, and the grammar instincts that make predictable rule-based questions feel automatic. Abbey pairs that verbal strength with a 33 composite and enough math and science range to cover all four sections without handing students off. Her five years of teaching experience means she adapts pacing drills and strategy to the specific sections where each student is losing time.

6+ Years Tutoring

Having scored a 34 composite and tutored ACT math prep during her time at Grinnell College, Audrey knows how to break each section into repeatable strategies — from pacing on the Science passages to grammar rule recognition in English. Her math degree means she can quickly diagnose where a student is losing points on the Math section and target those specific concept gaps. Rated 5.0 by students.
