The ACT Science section is less about knowing chemistry or biology and more about interpreting graphs, tables, and conflicting experimental viewpoints under time pressure. Sarah scored a 35 ACT composite and treats this section as a data-literacy exercise, teaching students to identify variables and trends quickly without getting distracted by unfamiliar scientific jargon. Her 5.0 rating speaks to how well that approach lands.

Most students panic when they see ACT Science passages full of unfamiliar terminology, but the section is really a data-interpretation exercise. Richard teaches students to ignore jargon, read graphs first, and identify conflicting variables before touching the questions — a systematic method that turns a confusing section into one of the most improvable. He earned a 36 ACT composite and brings physics coursework that makes the experiment-based passages feel intuitive.

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.

The ACT Science section is really a data interpretation exam disguised in lab coats, and Vivian teaches it that way — breaking down graphs, tables, and conflicting viewpoints without assuming any specialized science knowledge. Her perfect 36 composite came from mastering exactly this kind of strategic reading under time pressure.

Michelle's 35 ACT composite came from treating the Science section as a speed-reading exercise — identifying what each figure measures, matching it to the question, and moving on before the passage's technical language becomes a distraction. Her Religious Studies background actually reinforced this skill: evaluating competing interpretive frameworks is structurally identical to the conflicting viewpoints passages that trip most students up. Rated 4.9 by students.

Treat the ACT Science section like a data-interpretation exercise, not a science exam — that's the approach Aaron takes after earning a 36 composite. His biochemistry background at Columbia means he can quickly explain the underlying science when it does matter, but he spends most of the time teaching students to extract trends from graphs and resolve conflicting viewpoints in under a minute per question.

Most students panic when they see the ACT Science section's dense graphs and conflicting-viewpoint passages, but the section is really a speed-reading exercise disguised as science. Mo treats it that way — teaching students to extract trends from data tables and figures without getting lost in unfamiliar terminology. His 35 composite score and background in both science and finance give him a data-literate approach that clicks quickly.

I am originally from Alabama and graduated from Birmingham-Southern College with a BA in English Language and Literature. Immediately after undergrad, I relocated to New York City to pursue my law degree at Fordham University. After earning my Juris Doctor and passing the NY bar exam, I worked for five years as a litigator in New York. In 2009, I took the opportunity to fulfill a lifetime dream to live abroad and moved to South America. Upon arriving in Chile, I worked as an ESL teacher for children and adults as well as an editor of investment research and corporate trainer. I love language and am passionate about helping others learn to speak, write and read in a more effective way. Language is a tool, and I truly believe anyone can learn to use it better. I'm excited to be back in the US and eager to work with motivated students.

Most students panic when they see ACT Science passages full of unfamiliar terminology, but Emma reframes the section as a data-interpretation exercise. Her neurobiology background at Harvard means she's spent years extracting conclusions from graphs, tables, and conflicting research viewpoints — exactly what the ACT Science section tests. She teaches students to ignore the jargon and zero in on trends, variables, and experimental design.

The ACT Science section isn't really a science test — it's a test of how quickly you can read graphs, interpret conflicting viewpoints, and pull relevant data from dense passages. Grace scored a 35 ACT composite and teaches students to treat each Science passage as a data-reading exercise, zeroing in on axes, trends, and experimental controls before even looking at the questions. Rated 5.0 by students.

I'm Sam! I am a sophomore at Cornell University where I study the world of labor and employment and work as a volunteer EMT. I am motivated to help students learn new things and overcome challenging obstacles. I have experience tutoring, working with kids in one-on-one and group settings, and I am dedicated, patient, and creative.

Hi! My name is Alexandra, and I am a Princeton University Neuroscience major with 5+ years of tutoring experience. I specialize in SAT/ACT/PSAT prep and have successfully taught topics ranging from computer science and basic sciences to elementary reading and writing and college essay writing. In high school, I scored a perfect 36 on the ACT on my first attempt, a perfect 1520 on the PSAT/NMSQT, won "finalist" status in the National Merit Scholarship competition, and was a medalist in the New York Science Olympiad. As an undergraduate at the top-ranked university, I focus specifically on standardized test preparation, including the SAT, ACT, and PSAT. I have an understanding of the structure and timing of the exams and the strategic approaches that are required to achieve top scores. I have successfully supported students in improving their performance through individualized study plans because I understand that not all students can use the same approaches to succeed. My approach emphasizes effective time management and a mastery of recurring question types. Outside of college test preparation, I have tutored students ages 5 to 17 in a variety of topics. A common teaching approach I use is to introduce new concepts with example problems that we work through together. I then explain each strategy and help the student through another problem, encouraging them to explain their thinking step by step. Finally, I let the student tackle a problem independently. Once a student can articulate why a method works, they are truly ready to apply it on their own. While this method suits many students, I understand that everyone learns differently and pride myself on being adaptable within and outside of lessons.
