I am pursuing a career in dentistry/oral surgery and will be beginning dental school at Boston University this fall. For this reason I recently took the DAT, which I am capable of assisting you with as well. During my undergraduate education, which I completed this past December, I worked in my school's tutoring center, helping my peers succeed in mathematics and science courses. Outside of my academic life, I am a big sports fan and I mostly follow the New York sports teams. For fun, I like to play basketball and golf with my friends. I am looking forward towards getting to know you and helping you with your academic needs.

Between a psychology degree that required synthesizing research literature and years teaching philosophy at a community college, Grant has logged serious hours doing what the ACT Reading section actually tests: pulling an author's argument out of dense, unfamiliar text and distinguishing what's stated from what's merely suggested. His 33 ACT composite confirms he knows the test firsthand, and he zeroes in on the dual-passage comparison questions where students most often lose time second-guessing which answer the text actually supports.

I am a recent graduate from Carnegie Mellon University with a dual degree in Chemical and Biomedical Engineering. I have several years of tutoring experience in math, English, and broad sciences for kindergarten to high schoolers. Additionally, I have tutored several students for the SAT and ACT who have had favorable results. I truly enjoy working with school students to help them further their education and have made it a part of my routine since highschool.

Premed coursework means Ved has spent years speed-reading dense journal articles across biology, chemistry, and physics — exactly the kind of cross-disciplinary reading stamina that pays off on the ACT Reading section's natural science and social science passages. He teaches students to identify how each paragraph advances an author's argument, so they can answer inference and detail questions by going straight to the relevant lines instead of re-reading entire passages. His perfect 36 ACT composite confirms he's executed that approach under real test conditions.

Most students lose points on ACT Reading not because they can't comprehend the passages but because they spend too long re-reading. Sid's approach treats each passage like a data set: skim for structure, locate evidence fast, and eliminate wrong answers by type. His 35 composite and 5.0 rating speak to how well that method translates to real score gains.

Most students lose time on ACT Reading not because they can't comprehend the passages, but because they second-guess themselves between two answer choices that both look right. Roshan — a pre-med student with a 35 ACT composite and a 5.0 rating — teaches a elimination method rooted in textual evidence: if you can't point to a specific line that supports an answer, it's wrong, full stop. That binary approach is especially effective on the natural science passages, where students tend to overthink based on outside knowledge instead of sticking to what the author actually wrote.

I'm a Mechanical Engineering PhD Candidate at Lehigh University. I enjoy lifting, basketball, soccer, investing, technology, and soon hope to travel. I graduated from Bucknell University with a BS in Biomedical Engineering in May, along with a Math Minor.

Reading comprehension on the ACT is less about deep literary analysis and more about efficient information retrieval — finding where the answer lives in the passage and confirming it quickly. Marissa's 35 ACT composite came partly from a skimming-and-targeting method she now teaches, showing students how to handle prose fiction, social science, and natural science passages with different reading speeds.

I am a current student at Yale University pursuing a degree in English. Since I was little, writing and storytelling has been one of my biggest passions. Though back then, I often told stories to my friends and family as though they were truth, once they helped me find the page I've had much, much more success. I have been tutoring kids since I was in high school, but I've also spent many hours working with kids on the baseball diamond as a coach, as well as as a camp counselor. My philosophy is that I know how hard and difficult (and sometimes annoying) high school English and History classes can be, and my goal is to try and bring a little fun back into the material while making sure we do what it takes to master your craft as a budding young writer, whether in a rhetorical analysis of Pride and Prejudice or in your CommonApp personal essay.

Speed is the real enemy on ACT Reading — four passages in 35 minutes leaves almost no room for re-reading. As an avid reader himself, Shalin teaches active-reading techniques that let students extract main ideas and locate evidence on the first pass. He walks through each passage type (prose fiction, social science, humanities, natural science) so students know what to look for before they even start reading.

I am an undergraduate studying Computer Science at the University of Pennsylvania.

Many students lose points on ACT Reading not because they can't read well, but because they spend too long on passages and too little time on answer elimination. Alex, who earned a 35 composite, walks students through a triage strategy — how to skim for structure, locate evidence quickly, and distinguish between answers that are close and answers that are correct.
