As a dedicated tutor with a strong background in Biology and Mathematics from Baylor University, I am passionate about helping students excel in their ACT preparation after receiving a 36 on the test myself. With meaningful tutoring experience, I strive to create a supportive learning environment that fosters confidence and curiosity. My approach emphasizes personalized strategies that cater to each student's unique learning style, ensuring they grasp complex concepts and feel empowered in their abilities. I like to set goals and have a tentative plan for each session while also being flexible to pivot to maximize student experience. I find great joy in witnessing my students achieve their goals, and I am committed to guiding them through their academic journey.

As a Music Industry major at USC who also tutors math, science, and essay writing, Ingrid covers the ACT's full range of sections without leaning on just one discipline — and her 35 composite proves it. She's especially sharp on the Writing and English portions, where her songwriting and literature background translates into quick identification of rhetorical patterns and grammar traps that cost students easy points. Rated 5.0 by students.
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.
Erika scored a 34 ACT composite and knows the test inside and out — from pacing strategies on the Science section to grammar rule recognition on English to eliminating trap answers in Reading. Her psychology background gives her an edge in understanding test anxiety and how to build consistent performance under timed pressure. Rated across all four sections, she breaks down each one with targeted drills that zero in on where points are actually lost.
Scoring a 34 composite on the ACT gave Avi firsthand insight into pacing strategies across all four sections — especially the Science reasoning, where his neuroscience background makes parsing dense experimental passages feel intuitive. He breaks the test into manageable patterns, teaching students how to eliminate answer choices quickly on English and Reading and how to set up Math problems without overthinking. Rated 4.8 by past students.
Pre-med engineering at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln means Guillermo's daily coursework overlaps heavily with the ACT's Math and Science sections, while his literature and essay editing experience keeps the English and Reading sides covered without gaps. He earned a 32 composite and approaches prep by identifying which question types are costing a student the most time — then building repeatable routines for those specific problems until they become automatic. Rated 5.0 by students.
Scoring a 32 on the ACT himself, Zachary knows the test well enough to break down each section's quirks — from the time crunch on Science passages to the grammar rules that repeat on English. His background in classical languages sharpened the close-reading and logical reasoning skills that transfer directly to ACT Reading and English strategy. He keeps sessions low-pressure while staying focused on the specific question types where a student can pick up the most points.
Scoring a 33 on the ACT herself, Erika knows how to break down each section's timing traps — especially the Math portion, where picking the right strategy for a problem can save two minutes or cost five. She brings a lighthearted energy to test prep that keeps the grind from feeling like one, walking students through everything from trigonometry shortcuts to the Science section's graph-reading patterns. Her background spans pre-algebra through calculus, so she can pinpoint exactly where a student's math gaps are dragging their composite score down.
Studying computer science while tutoring everything from AP Calculus BC to literature and essay editing, Matthew covers the full spread of ACT content without leaning on a single strength — he's equally comfortable walking through trigonometry on the Math section and dissecting passage structure on English. His 32 composite and 4.9 rating from students back up a prep style rooted in genuine cross-subject fluency rather than generic test tricks.
Dual majors in geology and biochemistry mean Aaron is constantly switching between quantitative problem-solving and dense reading comprehension — the exact mental flexibility the ACT demands across all four sections. He earned a 32 composite and uses his cross-disciplinary study habits to teach students how to adapt their approach section by section, especially on Science passages where knowing how to read data matters more than knowing the content. Rated 5.0 by students.
Jeremy's engineering technology degree means the Math and Science sections play to his strengths, but his tutoring roster — spanning literature, grammar, college essays, and history — shows he's no one-trick STEM tutor when it comes to the English and Reading portions. He earned a 32 composite and uses that cross-subject fluency to build section-by-section plans that zero in on the specific question types each student keeps getting wrong.
Scoring a 32 composite on the ACT gave Oen firsthand insight into pacing strategies and question triage across all four sections — knowing when to skip, when to guess, and when to dig in. As a computer science major at Grinnell, he brings an analytical, pattern-based approach to the exam, teaching students to spot the recurring structures in English passage questions and decode the data-heavy Science section efficiently.
