John's strongest subjects — Latin, English, and history — give him a natural advantage on the ACT's Reading and English sections, where recognizing argument structure and grammatical patterns matters more than speed-reading. His 35 composite shows that advantage extends to Math and Science as well, and he builds prep around the specific sections dragging a student's score down rather than running through generic practice tests. Rated 5.0 by students.

An English and drama background might not scream ACT prep, but John's 36 composite — a perfect score — means he's mastered every section of the test, and his theater training makes him unusually good at close reading the rhetorical and narrative passages that stall most students on Reading and English. He also tutors calculus, physics, and chemistry, so the Math and Science sections aren't secondary skills he's faking his way through. Rated 4.9 by students.
Georgia Tech's Industrial and Systems Engineering program sits at the crossroads of math, data analysis, and logical reasoning — which means Ilesh trained daily in exactly the quantitative and analytical thinking the ACT tests across Math, Science, and even the evidence-based Reading questions. He earned a perfect 36 composite and uses that full-score perspective to show students not just what the right answers look like, but why the wrong ones are designed to be tempting. Rated 5.0 by students.
Medical school at the University of Arizona sharpened Alex's science and reading comprehension chops, but it's the chemical engineering degree from Washington and Lee that keeps his ACT Math strategies rigorous — and tutoring since 2010 means he's seen every version of the test's recurring traps across all four sections. His 36 composite isn't just a number; it translates into section-by-section blueprints that show students exactly where their time is leaking and which question types to attack first. Rated 4.8 by students.
Scoring a 33 on the ACT while juggling a dual PhD/MD track gave Chelain a firsthand appreciation for efficient test strategy — knowing when to skip, when to guess, and how to manage the clock across all four sections. As a radiation oncology resident at Northwestern, she brings the same analytical precision to breaking down Science and Math passages that she uses in clinical problem-solving. Rated 5.0 by students.
Elliot's neuroscience PhD means he's spent years designing experiments, interpreting data, and writing precisely — the exact skill set the ACT tests across all four sections, from Science passage analysis to the grammar logic underlying English questions. He earned a perfect 36 composite and uses that full-score perspective to show students where the test rewards careful reading over rushing, especially on the Reading and Science sections where most timing mistakes happen. Rated 5.0 by students.
Medical school admissions committees at both Rice and Baylor trusted Sugi to evaluate candidates — that same ability to spot exactly where someone's reasoning breaks down is what she brings to ACT prep, section by section. Her 36 composite and dual background in cognitive science and biochemistry mean there's no weak link across Math, Science, English, or Reading; she knows the content cold and teaches the decision-making layer on top of it. Rated 5.0 by students.
Northwestern's Honors Program in Medical Education compressed Anna's premed and MD training into a single accelerated track — meaning she learned early how to master large volumes of material under tight time constraints, which is essentially what the ACT demands across all four sections. She scored a perfect 36 composite and uses that experience to teach students how to allocate their attention strategically, particularly on the Reading and Science sections where running out of time costs more points than content gaps. Rated 5.0 by students.
Classics and philosophy trained Austin to do two things quickly: parse dense texts and build logical arguments from limited evidence — which maps almost perfectly onto ACT Reading and Science, where students need to extract answers from unfamiliar passages under serious time pressure. His 33 composite and breadth across math, biology, and writing mean he covers all four sections without relying on generic tricks, connecting each question type back to the specific reasoning skill it's actually testing.
Chemical engineering at Michigan means Edward spends his semesters deep in the math and science that dominate half the ACT — but his literature, essay editing, and grammar tutoring keep the English and Reading sections just as locked in, giving him genuine coverage across all four. His perfect 36 composite isn't decorative; he uses it to show students exactly how each section rewards different reading speeds and elimination habits, especially on the Science passages where most prep falls short. Rated 4.8 by students.
Eric's business administration background might seem unusual for ACT prep, but it gave him exactly the kind of cross-disciplinary fluency the test rewards — reading dense passages quickly, interpreting data under pressure, and writing structured arguments for the optional Writing section. He earned a perfect 36 composite and uses that score to reverse-engineer each section, showing students which question types are worth slowing down for and which ones reward a confident first instinct.
Double-majoring in molecular biology and French at Yale gave Emily something most ACT tutors lack — genuine fluency in both the STEM and humanities sides of the exam, so she's not faking comfort in any section. She earned a perfect 36 composite and uses her epidemiology training to teach the Science section as a data-literacy exercise, then pivots to the grammar and rhetorical questions on English with the same precision. Rated 5.0 by students.
Mechanical engineering at Harvard keeps Christopher deep in the math and science reasoning the ACT demands, but his Spanish and writing background means he's not faking it on the English and Reading sections either — he earned a 35 composite covering all four with genuine fluency. He teaches students to catch the small misreads and timing traps that separate a strong score from a great one, building section-specific habits rather than generic test tricks. Rated 4.8 by students.
Neuroscience at Columbia trains a specific kind of thinking — pulling signal from noise in dense, data-heavy material — and that's essentially what the ACT Science and Reading sections demand. Sarah scored a 35 composite and applies that same analytical rigor across all four sections, teaching students to decode unfamiliar passages quickly and avoid the second-guessing that burns time. Rated 5.0 by students.
Scoring well on the ACT is less about mastering five separate subjects and more about learning one skill: how to attack timed, multiple-choice questions with a plan. Jiatian builds individualized study schedules that target each student's weakest sections first, setting concrete score milestones along the way. A Rice University graduate currently finishing medical school, she's taken enough high-stakes exams to know exactly what disciplined, strategic prep looks like in practice.
Most ACT prep treats all four sections like they require the same skillset — Benjamin actually lives in both worlds, with a computer science degree and a graduate English program at Columbia giving him native fluency in quantitative reasoning and close reading alike. He earned a perfect 36 composite and uses that dual background to teach section-specific strategies, whether it's eliminating trap answers in Reading or managing the Math section's escalating difficulty curve. Rated 5.0 by students.
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.
Pursuing both electrical engineering and premed at Columbia means Zhenrui doesn't have blind spots on the ACT — the math and science sections tap into his daily coursework, while the premed writing load and his 1570 SAT keep his English and Reading strategies just as precise. He earned a perfect 36 composite and uses that across-the-board fluency to diagnose exactly which question types are costing a student points, then drill the timing and technique needed to close those gaps.
I am no longer needed.
I am passionate about helping students with math, science, test prep, and more! As sophomore undergraduate at Brown University studying Mathematics and Biophysics, I am well experienced with many topics. I received a perfect 36 on my ACT, so I am very confident with test taking.
Having struggled as a test taker himself before earning a perfect 36 composite, Ritik knows the difference between understanding ACT content and knowing how to perform under the exam's time pressure — and he teaches both. His aerospace engineering background at Purdue keeps the Math and Science sections sharp, while six years of tutoring students from elementary through college means he can quickly diagnose where someone's losing points and adjust strategy accordingly.
Bidyut's biomedical engineering and computer science coursework at Johns Hopkins means the ACT's Math and Science sections play to strengths he uses every day — but his tutoring across literature, history, psychology, and essay editing keeps the English and Reading strategies just as sharp. He earned a perfect 36 composite and uses that full-spectrum background to diagnose exactly which question types are costing a student points, then builds targeted drills around those specific weaknesses. Rated 5.0 by students.
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.
Being in an accelerated medical program at RPI means Ishan juggles biology, math, and dense analytical writing every semester — which maps neatly onto the ACT's full spread of sections rather than just one or two. He scored a 35 composite and leans heavily on teaching students how the English section recycles a small set of grammar concepts that become automatic with the right drilling. Rated 5.0 by students.
Going from a 25 to a perfect 36 ACT gave Astoria something most tutors don't have — a precise map of where scores stall and which strategies break through each plateau. She teaches section-specific pacing techniques, particularly for Science (treating passages as data interpretation puzzles) and English (spotting grammar patterns without overthinking). Rated 4.8 by students, she tailors her approach based on where each student's composite currently sits.
Studying physics and classics at Vanderbilt gives Dylan an uncommon combination — the quantitative fluency to own the Math and Science sections and the close-reading discipline to dissect English and Reading passages with equal precision. He earned a perfect 36 composite and uses that dual lens to show students how each section rewards a different type of attention, then builds targeted drills around the specific question types eating their time.
A perfect 36 composite wasn't an accident — Yash developed specific timing strategies and question-recognition patterns across all four sections that he now breaks down for his students. His engineering background at Georgia Tech means the Math and Science sections get especially detailed treatment, from trigonometry shortcuts to his technique for reading data-heavy passages in under a minute. Rated 5.0 by students, he also builds in test-day tactics that keep nerves from undoing good preparation.
Alyssa's doctoral work in physical therapy means she's still deep in the kind of scientific reading and data analysis the ACT Science section throws at students — but her psychology minor and 4.0 undergrad GPA point to someone equally comfortable dissecting English passages and tackling the Math section's trickier algebra and trig problems. She earned a 35 composite and builds prep around diagnosing each student's weakest question types first, then drilling those until they stop costing points. Rated 5.0 by students.
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.
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.
Notre Dame trained Benjamin in finance and economics, but his 36 ACT composite — a perfect score — is what matters here: he knows every section cold and teaches the specific computation shortcuts and pattern-recognition tricks that turn near-misses into correct answers under time pressure. His math and science instincts are obvious, but his breadth across writing, literature, and essay editing means the English and Reading sections get the same depth of attention. Rated 5.0 by students.
Cornell's chemical engineering program forced Rahul to master everything from thermodynamics to technical writing under pressure — a combination that maps neatly onto the ACT's full spread of math, science, and English content. He earned a perfect 36 composite and leans heavily on conceptual understanding when prepping students, teaching them to reason through unfamiliar Science passages and tricky Math problems instead of relying on memorized shortcuts. Rated 4.9 by students.
Vivian's Juilliard training might seem unrelated to the ACT, but the discipline of mastering a performance — breaking complex material into precise, repeatable steps — is exactly how she approaches all four sections of the exam. Her perfect 36 composite means she's solved the timing and strategy puzzles in every section firsthand, and her deep background in English and history gives her particular authority on the Reading and English passages where subtle rhetorical questions separate a 32 from a 36. Rated 4.9 by students.
Having spent a year as a course assistant in Harvard's math department while majoring in Government, Richard is genuinely comfortable on both sides of the ACT — the quantitative reasoning that dominates Math and Science and the rhetorical analysis that drives English and Reading. His 36 composite means he didn't just survive every section; he maxed each one, and he teaches students the specific pacing and elimination habits that make that possible.
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.
Most ACT prep treats every section the same way — Nikhil doesn't. His biomedical engineering training at Michigan means the Math and Science sections are second nature, and his writing and literature tutoring experience gives him genuine fluency on English and Reading, so students get a tutor who actually understands the content behind all four sections rather than just recycling generic strategies. He earned a perfect 36 composite and holds a 5.0 rating.
Kerr's computer science training at Vanderbilt sharpened the logical reasoning and pattern-matching that drive the ACT's Math and Science sections, while his breadth across literature, essay editing, and grammar means the English and Reading halves don't get neglected. He earned a perfect 36 composite and uses that across-the-board command to zero in on the specific question types each student keeps getting wrong — then rebuilds the approach from scratch rather than layering tricks on top of confusion. Rated 4.9 by students.
A perfect 36 ACT composite came from Enrico's systematic approach to each section — particularly the Math and Science portions, where his MIT mathematics training lets him spot the fastest path to an answer instead of grinding through every calculation. He teaches timing strategies section by section, showing students how to triage questions and avoid the traps that cost points in the final ten minutes. Rated 5.0 by students.
Viktor's path to a 1600 SAT and 35 ACT started with hating math until a few great teachers showed him the reasoning behind the formulas — and that shift from memorization to understanding is exactly how he approaches ACT prep, especially the Math section's later problems where conceptual thinking beats calculator mashing. His UChicago math degree and current CS work at NYU keep all four sections covered, but he's particularly sharp at teaching students to decode the Science section's graphs and tables as logic puzzles rather than actual science.
Going through the IB program and then into aerospace engineering at Georgia Tech gave Vansh a rare combination — the verbal rigor to dissect Reading and English passages plus the quantitative instincts to fly through Math and Science under pressure. He earned a perfect 36 composite and builds his prep around the specific pacing mistakes and question-type blind spots that keep each student's score stuck. Rated 5.0 by students.
