Raaga
Certified ACT Tutor
Raaga
BA Carnegie Mellon University
3+ Years Tutoring

Carnegie Mellon's chemical and biomedical engineering program drills exactly the kind of fast, precise problem-solving the ACT rewards — Raaga earned a perfect 36 composite and applies that same rigor to prepping students across all four sections. Her dual-degree coursework means the Math and Science sections are second nature, while years of tutoring English and literature keep her Reading and English strategies just as dialed in. Rated 5.0 by students.

Ved
Certified ACT Tutor
Ved
BA Drew University
5+ Years Tutoring

Premed biochemistry training at Drew means Ved doesn't fake fluency in any ACT section — the math, science, and analytical reading skills behind a 36 composite are things he uses in coursework daily, not just on test day. He zeroes in on the specific question types each student struggles with, whether that's the English section's punctuation traps or the Science section's conflicting-viewpoints passages that reward careful reading over actual science knowledge.

Sid
BA University
1+ Years Tutoring

Having recently sat for the ACT as a high schooler himself, Sid knows the mental game of test day — the pacing traps, the second-guessing, the fatigue that hits in the Science section — and builds prep around planning and practice that directly targets those pressure points. His 35 composite and Business Analytics coursework at Rutgers mean the quantitative sections come naturally, while his strength in essay editing and literature keeps his English and Reading coaching equally grounded. Rated 5.0 by students.

Roshan
BA The College of New Jersey
5+ Years Tutoring

Being in TCNJ's 7-Year Medical Program means Roshan juggles heavy science and reading loads daily — the same mix the ACT throws at students across its four sections. He earned a 35 composite and leans on analogy-driven teaching to make tricky concepts in Math and Science click fast, while his strong writing background keeps his English and Reading coaching just as precise. Rated 5.0 by students.

Sai
BA Emory University
9+ Years Tutoring

Scoring a 35 composite on the ACT gave Sai a clear picture of what each section actually rewards — from pacing strategies on the Math section to recognizing rhetorical patterns in English and Reading. As an Economics major at Emory, he brings an analytical, data-driven approach to test prep, breaking down practice test results to pinpoint exactly where points are being lost. Rated 4.5 by students.

Shalin
BA Temple University
8+ Years Tutoring

Pursuing a Masters in Bioinformatics at NYU means Shalin spends his days swimming in data analysis and scientific reasoning — skills that map directly onto the ACT's Science and Math sections, where his 32 composite started. His biology and writing background lets him credibly coach the Reading and English sections too, connecting grammar rules and passage analysis to the same systematic thinking he uses in his graduate research.

Kyle
BA Yale University
6+ Years Tutoring

Yale's English program trains you to read fast and argue precisely — two skills that pay off on the ACT's Reading and English sections, where Kyle's 35 composite shows just how well they transfer. But his math and science tutoring experience means he doesn't disappear on the back half of the test; he teaches students to treat the Science section as a reading exercise and the Math section as a place where careful process beats rushed guessing.

Alex
BA Stanford University
9+ Years Tutoring

Stanford's applied math program trains Alex to think in systems — a habit he applies to the ACT by mapping each section's predictable structure so students stop treating it as four separate tests and start seeing the throughlines in how questions are built. His 35 composite and 4.8 rating come from drilling the specific transitions between easy and hard questions where most students hemorrhage time, especially the Math section's jump around question 40 and the Science section's conflicting-viewpoints passage.

Marissa
BA Rutgers University (New Brunswick)
9+ Years Tutoring

Psychology training at Rutgers gave Marissa a sharp understanding of how students actually process information under pressure — which matters on the ACT, where timing kills more scores than content gaps. She scored a 35 composite and covers all four sections plus Writing, leaning on her dual background in Spanish and quantitative coursework to teach the Reading and Science sections as exercises in structured elimination rather than deep comprehension.

Andrew
BA The College of New Jersey
7+ Years Tutoring

Heading to Boston University's dental program this fall, Andrew recently prepped for and conquered the DAT — a process that sharpened the same cross-section stamina the ACT demands across English, Math, Reading, and Science. His 35 composite and biology degree mean the Science section's data-heavy passages play to his strengths, while his tutoring center experience in both math and writing keeps his strategies sharp on the other three sections. Rated 4.9 by students.

Rahul
BA Babson College
10+ Years Tutoring

Finance majors tend to think in systems and trade-offs — Rahul applies that same mindset to ACT prep, teaching students to allocate their time strategically across sections instead of grinding every question equally. His 35 composite came from treating the test as a resource-management problem, and he coaches students to identify which Math and Science questions deserve full effort versus a quick elimination and educated guess. Rated 4.6 by students.

Bryan
Engineering in Computer Science, Computer and Information Sciences, General University of Pennsylvania
6+ Years Tutoring

Studying computer science at Penn means Bryan spends his days debugging complex systems — and he applies that same diagnostic mindset to the ACT, identifying exactly which question types and timing habits are costing a student points across all four sections. His 35 composite and unusually wide teaching range (everything from calculus to literature to essay editing) mean he covers the full exam without handing off weaker sections. Rated 5.0 by students.
