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.

Most ACT Reading mistakes happen not because students misunderstand a passage but because they misread what the question is actually asking. Karen teaches a annotation method that tags purpose, tone shifts, and key claims during the initial read, cutting down on frantic re-scanning when the clock is running. Her literature degree means she's especially sharp on the prose fiction and humanities passages that many students find trickiest.

I am always willing to help and I will try my best to help students who desire further understanding of the subject at hand.

Reading is one of Nathan's self-identified strengths on the ACT, and his approach treats each passage type — prose fiction, social science, humanities, natural science — as its own mini-strategy. He teaches students to distinguish between what the passage literally says and what it implies, a skill that eliminates the "close but wrong" answer choices that cost most test-takers points.

Jonathan's nutrition coursework at Ohio State meant digesting research-heavy texts packed with competing study findings and clinical data — the same kind of evidence-laden reading that shows up in the ACT Reading section's natural science and social science passages. With a 34 ACT composite, he teaches students to isolate an author's conclusion from the supporting details surrounding it, which cuts down on the re-reading that eats up time on detail and inference questions.

I am currently a junior at Ohio State University majoring in Biology with a pre-health specialization and minoring in business. At Ohio State I am involved in the biological sciences scholars program and the Club Doctors without Borders. I believe that education is an important component for future success and I would love the opportunity to tutor math, science, and test prep!

I am a high school math teacher with a passion for demonstrating the practical use of math outside of the classroom. I pride myself in teaching critical thinking and decision making skills that cultivate a real world experience in my classroom to best prepare students for life after academia. I have an undergraduate and master's degree in engineering, and changed career paths into teaching because of my love for inspiring and mentoring kids. I am pursuing a graduate degree in education administration with the goal of becoming a principal so I can build stronger urban schools with better resources and implement instructional strategies geared towards disadvantaged youth.

I am a senior at Ohio State. I am an actuarial science major and a business minor. For those who don't know, actuaries work for insurance companies and are the people who quantify risk. I chose to major in actuarial science because math has always been my favorite subject. I like the challenging and problem solving aspects of the major. I have taken a number of math classes in my college career and look forward to showing other students how to be successful in those classes!

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 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 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.

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.
