The ACT Reading section isn't about loving books — it's about extracting answers from dense passages in under nine minutes each. Adam, who scored a 35 composite, treats each passage type (prose fiction, social science, humanities, natural science) as its own mini-strategy, teaching students exactly where to look for main ideas versus supporting details.

I am a Yale graduate with over 8 years experience tutoring students from a variety of backgrounds. I recently graduated from the Yale School of Public Health with a MPH concentrating in Epidemiology and Global Health. I also received my B.S. from Yale with a double major in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and French. I have experience both leading group classes and working with students one on one. I will respond to a student's strengths, weaknesses, and learning style in order to help them succeed and make the most of our time together. I earned a perfect score of 36 on the ACT, 2280 on the SAT, and qualified as a National Merit Scholar on the PSAT. I look forward to working with you!

I am a recent graduate of Cornell University, where I received a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and graduated Magna Cum Laude. Over the past several years, I have worked with students from diverse backgrounds and experiences tutoring thermodynamics (my personal favorite), chemistry, and math. I have also tutored in the past for ACT/SAT and other subjects such as history, but I am deeply passionate about science and engineering. I tend to push my students to understand conceptual topics, as opposed to rote or algorithmic learning. In my free time, I love to bake sourdough, learn about history, garden, and recently started biking again.

I am a rising sophomore at Case Western Reserve University studying engineering. I have taken most high-school level standardized tests, and have scored consistently above the 95th percentile. I have tutored small groups of students throughout high school, and also have experience as a private tutor. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy playing Ultimate Frisbee with my college club team.

I'm a recent college graduate with degrees in Biological Sciences and Russian from Ohio University. During my time there, I tutored students in a variety of subjects, including biology, chemistry, and Spanish. In addition, I worked as both a peer advisor and teaching assistant, which gives me insight into the learning strategies and study skills that students need to succeed. As a tutor, I like to focus on doing actual problems with students because it is the most effective way to immediately identify their strengths and weaknesses and to address them. In my free time, I like to lift weights, read books, and spend time with my friends.

Speed is the real enemy on ACT Reading: four passages, 40 questions, 35 minutes. Vinay teaches a passage-prioritization strategy where students identify which passage type — literary narrative, social science, humanities, or natural science — to tackle first based on their personal strengths, then apply targeted skimming techniques for the rest. It's a structured approach that consistently turns time-crunched panic into manageable pacing.

I am currently in my second year of medical school. Because of my diverse academic background, I am able to tutor in a wide range of topics, from Economics and math to Russian and ACT prep.

I am currently in the University Honors program at The Ohio State University studying computer science engineering with a math minor. STEM education was very important to me in my own schooling and I believe every student should try to study STEM subjects. In teaching algebra, calculus, and physics, I like to go in depth with the material to ensure students really understand why the material works. There is a certain beauty in science and math and I encourage students to discover this for themselves.

I'm currently working as a Research Associate during my gap year before medical school. During my free time, I enjoy staying active, playing golf, swimming, running, and playing tennis. I love exploring new activities and neighborhoods in the NYC area.

The ACT Reading section isn't about being a strong reader — it's about extracting answers from dense passages in under nine minutes each. Yashas earned a 36 composite by treating every question as a scavenger hunt, teaching students to locate textual evidence quickly rather than re-reading entire passages. His 5.0 rating speaks to how well that approach clicks.

Susie's biochemistry background means she's spent years parsing dense scientific literature — a skill that directly applies to the natural science and social science passages that often slow students down on ACT Reading. She teaches students to identify how answer choices distort the original text through subtle paraphrasing and scope changes, turning a comprehension exercise into a pattern-recognition one. Her 35 ACT composite and 5.0 student rating back that up.

Scoring a 36 ACT composite means Carly knows how to navigate the Reading section's tight pacing — identifying main ideas, tracking comparative passages, and eliminating answer choices efficiently under time pressure. She breaks down each passage type (prose fiction, social science, humanities, natural science) so students develop a consistent strategy instead of reading aimlessly and hoping for the best. Rated 5.0 by students.
