I am a current sophomore at Vanderbilt University! I am double majoring in Public Policy and Human & Organizational Development with a minor in Spanish. I first started tutoring in high school, when I started working at Kumon Learning Center and began teaching elementary and middle school students reading and mathematics. I also volunteered my tutoring services through my high school's National Merit Society, through which I helped my peers in advanced subjects such as AP testing, ACT, SAT, and PSAT prep.

Sery
Engineering in Computer Science, Computer Science Ohio State University-Main Campus
8+ Years Tutoring

I am passionate about teaching because I love helping someone understand and become confident in a concept that previously baffled them. I am a student at The Ohio State University working towards a Computer Science degree. I have experience tutoring math up through AP Calculus BC, French, and AP Literature. My experience in tutoring comes from the free weekly French tutoring program I initiated at my high school, which grew to me tutoring other subjects as well. My teaching philosophy involves discussion and helping the student come to an answer themselves, which allows the topic to stick. Because of this one of my favorite subjects to tutor is writing. Writing tutoring helps the student grow and allows them to see the problems in their writing themselves. Outside of academia I enjoy calligraphy and playing piano.

Kevin
BA Case Western Reserve University
7+ Years Tutoring

Most students overthink the ACT Science section because they assume it tests scientific knowledge — it's actually a speed-reading exercise disguised as science. Kevin, who earned a 36 composite, teaches students to extract trends from graphs, compare experimental setups, and identify conflicting viewpoints without getting lost in jargon. His engineering background means he can also fill in the real science when a question does require outside knowledge, particularly in physics and chemistry.

Rahul
BS Cornell University
6+ Years Tutoring

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.

Eric
BA Ohio University-Main Campus
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Vinay
MS Columbia University in the City of New York • BS University of California Los Angeles
1+ Years Tutoring

The ACT Science section isn't really a science test — it's a data interpretation exercise disguised as one, and Vinay teaches students to read graphs, conflicting viewpoints passages, and experimental designs with speed and precision. His 35 ACT composite and background as a medical student with dual degrees in biology and math-economics mean he can quickly clarify the underlying science when a passage does require content knowledge. Rated 5.0 by students.

Adam
BA Georgetown University
5+ Years Tutoring

Most students panic when they see unfamiliar experiments on the ACT Science section, but the test rarely asks for outside knowledge — it asks whether you can read graphs, compare data trends, and evaluate conflicting hypotheses quickly. Adam scored a 35 composite and teaches a systematic approach to each passage format that turns Science into one of the most improvable sections on the test.

Yashas
BA Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus
4+ Years Tutoring

A biology background from Georgia Tech makes the ACT Science section second nature for Yashas, but his real edge is showing students that most questions don't require science knowledge at all — they require reading graphs, comparing data trends, and spotting conflicting viewpoints. He teaches a systematic method for each passage type that turns a 25-minute section into something predictable. His 36 ACT composite and 5.0 rating back that up.

Frequently Asked Questions

The ACT Science section tests your ability to interpret data, understand scientific concepts, and apply reasoning skills—not memorized science facts. You'll work with graphs, tables, and passages describing experiments or scientific scenarios across biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science. The 40-question section is 35 minutes long, making pacing and efficient reading critical skills.

Score improvement depends on your starting point and effort level. Students often see 2-4 point gains (on the 1-36 scale) within 4-8 weeks of focused tutoring, though some improve faster by targeting specific weak areas like data interpretation or timing strategies. The key is identifying whether your challenges are conceptual understanding, reading speed, or test-taking strategy—and addressing those directly.

Most students struggle with pacing—there's less than a minute per question, which makes efficient reading and quick data interpretation essential. Others find the question formats unfamiliar or spend too much time reading dense passages when the answer is in the data. Many also struggle to distinguish between what they need to know versus what they can figure out from the given information, leading to unnecessary stress.

Tutors work with you to build a personalized strategy based on your specific weaknesses—whether that's reading comprehension, data analysis, or managing test anxiety. They teach you how to quickly identify question types, extract relevant information from graphs and tables, and use process-of-elimination effectively. Practice tests and timed drills help you build speed and confidence before test day.

Most students benefit from taking 3-5 full practice tests under timed conditions—this builds familiarity with the format and helps identify patterns in your mistakes. Between full tests, targeted practice on individual question types (data interpretation, conflicting viewpoints, etc.) is more efficient than random studying. Your tutor can help you space these out strategically and review results to focus on areas that need work.

With 67 schools across 29 districts in the Dayton area, students have different prep timelines and course backgrounds depending on their school. Some students have strong science curricula that align well with ACT content, while others need to fill gaps in specific topics. A tutor familiar with Dayton schools can help you understand what your particular background covers and where you might need extra support.

Test anxiety often comes from feeling unprepared or unsure about what to expect. Tutoring builds confidence through repeated practice in a low-pressure environment, familiarity with question formats, and proven strategies that reduce guessing. Knowing you have a solid approach to each question type—and having practiced it dozens of times—significantly reduces stress on test day.

Your first session focuses on understanding your baseline skills and goals. You'll likely take a diagnostic test or work through sample questions so your tutor can identify your specific strengths and weaknesses—whether that's timing, data interpretation, or conceptual gaps. From there, you'll develop a personalized study plan with a clear focus for your next sessions.
