I am a Neuroscience and Behavior major at Columbia University. Although my major is centered in the STEM field, I am also passionate about human rights work, global engagement, and local outreach. While my future plans are subject to change, I see myself continuing in academia, going to medical school, and becoming a physician.

A government major at Harvard, Richard spent his coursework doing exactly what the ACT Reading section rewards: rapidly digesting competing political arguments, identifying an author's central claim, and distinguishing stated evidence from implied conclusions — skills that map directly onto the social science and humanities passages. His perfect 36 ACT composite means he's navigated every passage type under real testing pressure and knows which time-management habits actually hold up when the clock is running.

I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.

Scoring a 36 ACT composite means Vivian didn't just read the passages — she learned to dismantle them, distinguishing between what the author states explicitly and what's merely implied. Her approach to the Reading section zeroes in on how to handle the dual-passage comparisons and inference questions that trip up even strong readers. Rated 4.9 by students.

The ACT Reading section punishes students who read every passage the same way; a science excerpt and a humanities narrative require different strategies for locating evidence under time pressure. Aaron, who earned a 36 composite, walks students through passage-mapping techniques that cut re-reading time and sharpen answer elimination on inference questions.

The ACT Reading section gives students just 35 minutes for four dense passages, which means most score gains come from learning how to read strategically rather than thoroughly. Michelle teaches a passage-mapping approach — identifying the author's argument, tone shifts, and key evidence before touching the questions. With a 35 ACT composite and deep experience in literature and reading instruction, she knows exactly where the test tries to mislead careful readers.

I am very comfortable tutoring any subject that is listed on my profile.

Most ACT Reading mistakes come from spending too long on dense passages and rushing through easier ones. Jai scored a 35 composite and developed a pacing strategy that matches passage type to time allocation, so students learn to identify inference and tone questions quickly without misreading what the text actually says.

The ACT Reading section isn't really about comprehension — most students understand the passages just fine. The challenge is locating evidence and eliminating wrong answers in under nine minutes per passage. Grace, who scored a 35 composite, teaches a passage-mapping strategy that turns each reading into a quick reference guide so students stop second-guessing their answers.

I am an incoming student at Washington University in St. Louis. I have been passionate about teaching ever since I had the opportunity to teach at an Indian public school in 2018. It's one of my favorite activities the gives me genuine joy. Hopefully, I'll be able to make teaching fun for you too! Let's succeed together!

Reading dense passages quickly and accurately is something Chelsey does every day as a literary reader for an Off-Broadway theatre company. She applies that same skill to ACT Reading, teaching students how to identify main arguments, track authorial tone, and answer inference questions without re-reading entire paragraphs — techniques that turned her own ACT into a 35 composite.

Between a neurobiology major and an economics minor at Harvard, Emma spent four years toggling between scientific research papers and policy-driven arguments — the exact mix of passage types the ACT Reading section throws at students in 35 minutes. She teaches students to identify what each paragraph actually does in the author's argument, which turns time-consuming re-reads into quick, targeted scans for detail and inference questions. Her 1550 SAT, 32 ACT composite, and 5.0 student rating all point to someone who knows how timed reading sections work from the inside.
