I am excited to help anyone who might need it!

I am an undergraduate at Washington University, and I grew up in Columbus, Ohio. Math has always been one of my favorite subjects. I love Pre-algebra, Calculus, Linear Algebra and everything in between! I have tutored for about four years and have worked with students of all ages. Most students come to me for Math, but I have also worked with students on SAT and ACT test prep, Statistics and Physics. Everyone learns in a slightly different way, and I love figuring out the best way to teach something to people individually and dig down to what questions they really need to have answered to understand the material. In my spare time, I like to go on long bike rides and explore St. Louis's restaurants. I also love baking, playing with dogs and cats, watching movies with my friends and playing soccer.
Most students panic when they see unfamiliar experiments on the ACT Science section, but John reframes it as a data interpretation exercise. He teaches students to ignore the jargon, zero in on graph trends and table relationships, and answer questions in under a minute each. His 35 ACT composite reflects how well this systematic, no-nonsense approach works in practice.
Most students overthink ACT Science because they assume it tests content knowledge — in reality, it's a data-interpretation exam wrapped in scientific language. As a high school science teacher who's taught everything from chemistry to forensic science, Samuel reads these passages fluently and shows students exactly how to pull answers from graphs, tables, and conflicting viewpoints. He scored a 34 composite on the ACT himself.
The ACT Science section is really a data interpretation test disguised as science — and Jacob's chemistry background means he's spent years reading graphs, analyzing experimental setups, and drawing conclusions from conflicting data sets. He teaches students to ignore the jargon and zero in on what each figure actually shows, a strategy that helped him earn a 34 ACT composite. Rated 5.0 by students.
Most of the ACT Science section isn't about knowing science — it's about reading graphs, interpreting experimental setups, and spotting trends in data tables under time pressure. Joy currently teaches middle school science and previously led an elementary natural sciences department, so she brings real lab fluency to teaching students how to parse conflicting viewpoints and extract the right data points quickly.
Studying computational biology at Columbia means Sean reads dense scientific figures and experimental data every week — which is essentially what the ACT Science section tests. He treats it as a data-interpretation exercise, teaching students to pull trends from graphs, evaluate conflicting hypotheses, and ignore the intimidating jargon that makes passages seem harder than they are. His 34 ACT composite backs up the approach.
The ACT Science section is less about knowing biology or chemistry and more about reading graphs, interpreting data tables, and evaluating conflicting hypotheses under time pressure. Parag treats it as a data-literacy exercise, teaching students to locate key variables and trends quickly rather than getting bogged down in scientific jargon.
I am currently working towards an Aerospace Engineering degree at the University of Colorado, Boulder. In high school, I worked with 5th grade students tutoring math. Beyond that, I was always avaliable to help my classmates learn topics that I may have understood better at the time. Overall, math and science courses are my favorite to help people with because I enjoy those courses myself and think the knowledge is not hard to learn if given the right teacher and enough time. In teaching, I like to understand the level of comprehension the student has first before just going in and telling them what he/she should do. It is more effective to learn how to teach yourself the knowledge than to just be able to regurgitate it onto a test. Other than academics, I like playing basketball, video games, and just hanging out and messing around with friends.
Most students panic when they see the ACT Science section, but it's really a data interpretation test disguised as science. Megan's background teaching biology, chemistry, and physics means she can quickly clarify the actual science when it matters — and more importantly, show students when they can ignore it entirely and just read the graphs. Her 33 ACT composite and 5.0 rating speak to how well that approach translates to score gains.
The ACT Science section isn't really a science test — it's a data interpretation test dressed up in lab coats. Kristen, who scored a 33 ACT composite, teaches students to read graphs, compare experimental setups, and identify conflicting viewpoints quickly, treating each passage like a close reading exercise rather than a chemistry problem.
Most students panic when they see ACT Science passages packed with unfamiliar terminology and dense data tables. Vijaya treats the section as a data interpretation exercise, teaching students to read graphs before reading text and to answer conflicting-viewpoints questions by isolating each scientist's core claim. Her own 34 ACT composite came from exactly this kind of systematic breakdown.
