Kathleen
BA Washington University in St. Louis
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

John
BA Rockhurst University
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Samuel
MS University of Missouri-Columbia • BA University of Missouri-Columbia
9+ Years Tutoring

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.

Jacob
BA Missouri State University
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Joy
AB Boston University
6+ Years Tutoring

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.

Sean
BA Columbia University in the City of New York
9+ Years Tutoring

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.

Evan
BA University
8+ Years Tutoring

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.

Megan

14+ Years Tutoring

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.

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.

Mubariz
BA Washington University in St. Louis
6+ Years Tutoring

I am a high school graduate from The Pembroke Hill School in Kansas City, Missouri and currently studying at Washington University in St. Louis in the class of 2024. Through my high school's Spanish program, I tutored students just two years below my level of Spanish. And through our debate program, for my sophomore, junior, and senior years, I mentored students new to the activity. I have always seen helping other students as an opportunity of growth, not only for that student, but for myself as well. I feel that I am qualified to tutor all middle and most high school levels of math, chemistry, and Spanish. As for standardized tests, I am most oriented towards the ACT. My favorite subject to learn and tutor is Math because it allows the student an opportunity to understand a concept much deeper than the surface. And that is my focus for when I learn a concept or teach a concept: understanding not only the what but the how and why as well.

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.
