Duke's biomedical engineering program keeps Eric sharp on the Math and Science sections, but it's his breadth — economics, Mandarin, literature, college essays — that lets him coach Reading and English without faking it. He earned a perfect 36 composite and uses that across-the-board fluency to diagnose exactly which section habits are costing a student points, then drill fixes until they stick. Rated 5.0 by students.

A psychology degree from Duke — magna cum laude — means Frances reads the ACT's Reading and English sections through the lens of argument structure and rhetorical intent, not just grammar rules and vocab. Her 35 composite and experience across writing, science, and math tutoring let her build section-by-section plans that address the specific question types each student struggles with most.
Scoring a 35 on her own ACT gave Sophia a blueprint she's since refined across five years of tutoring — she's consistently moved students up by 3+ points by targeting the specific section strategies that yield the fastest gains. Her approach breaks the test into manageable patterns: pacing tricks for the Science section's data interpretation, grammar rules that repeat on English, and process-of-elimination techniques for Reading passages. Rated 4.8 by students, she knows the difference between understanding the material and understanding the test.
Three semesters as a lead TA for anatomy and physiology taught Dimitry how to explain dense material quickly and clearly — a skill that translates directly to coaching the ACT's Science section, where students need to parse unfamiliar data without panicking. His 35 composite and pre-med background at UNC Chapel Hill mean he's equally sharp on the Math and English sides, and he builds prep around the specific section dragging a student's score down. Rated 4.9 by students.
As a math major at UNC Chapel Hill, Tanay brings genuine fluency to the ACT's Math section — but his tutoring across subjects like grammar, literature, and science means he can diagnose weaknesses in any of the four sections, not just the quantitative ones. His 35 composite came from treating each section as its own puzzle with distinct timing and strategy demands, and that's exactly how he structures prep. Rated 5.0 by students.
Studying computer science and physics at Duke means Bryce thinks in systems — and the ACT is a system with predictable rules once you know where to look. He scored a 35 composite and teaches students to treat the Math section's later questions as logic puzzles rather than computation, while applying the same structured reasoning to crack the Science section's dense graph-reading passages. His coverage extends to English and Reading, where his college essay and literature background keeps strategies grounded in actual reading skills.
Studying medical sociology at Duke while prepping for med school means Zhong reads dense research and builds evidence-based arguments daily — skills that map directly onto the ACT's Reading and Science sections, where extracting claims from unfamiliar passages is the whole game. His 1590 SAT and 34 ACT composite confirm he's equally sharp on the quantitative side, and he uses that range to teach section-specific timing strategies rather than generic test tricks.
Writing for The Chronicle at Duke and studying engineering in Pratt means Natalie genuinely lives on both sides of the ACT — the verbal reasoning that drives English and Reading scores and the quantitative problem-solving behind Math and Science. She earned a 35 composite and uses her cross-disciplinary instincts to teach students how to adjust their approach section by section, particularly on the Reading passages where pacing decisions make or break a score.
Duke's computer science program trains you to debug systematically — isolate the problem, test a fix, move on — and Florence applies that same logic to ACT prep, diagnosing exactly which question types cost a student the most points across all four sections before drilling targeted fixes. Her perfect 36 composite means she's mastered the full exam, and her physics minor keeps the Science section's data-heavy passages from becoming the time sink they are for most test-takers. Rated 5.0 by students.
Biochemistry majors rarely struggle with ACT Science, but Abir's 36 composite proves he's just as dominant on the English and Reading sections — his college essay and literature tutoring experience keeps those verbal skills sharp alongside the STEM content. He teaches each section as its own system, zeroing in on the specific question types a student keeps missing and drilling those until the full four-hour test feels routine. Rated 5.0 by students.
Jonathan scored a 35 ACT composite and took the exam recently enough to know its current quirks — the time pressure on the Science section, the grammar patterns ACT recycles on English, and the specific trig concepts that appear on Math. As a Vanderbilt biochemistry student who just went through the college admissions process, he breaks down each section's pacing and question logic so students learn where their points are hiding.
Having served as a TA for a freshman honors writing course, Alisha brings real classroom instincts to the ACT's English and Reading sections — she knows how students misread rhetoric questions and where comma-rule traps hide. Her 34 composite and strong math and science background mean she's equally comfortable drilling the quantitative sections, building section-specific strategies around wherever a student's composite is getting dragged down.
