Caitlyn
BA Oregon State University
1+ Years Tutoring

I'm a strong believer that education can be fun, and address learning with a sense of humor and a positive attitude. My approach to learning tends to be very communication-based, and often driven by how the client I'm working with feels they learn best. As a result, I tend to provide structure and guidance in a more flexible learning environment.

Dylan
BA Washington University in St. Louis
6+ Years Tutoring

Dylan treats the ACT Science section for what it really is: a data-interpretation test that rarely requires outside science knowledge. He walks students through how to read conflicting-viewpoints passages, extract trends from graphs, and identify variables in experimental designs — all under serious time constraints. His own 34 ACT composite came from mastering exactly these skills.

If there's one thing to know about me, it's that I love to learn, no matter the subject. Learning is a life-long process that can take you anywhere in life. But this doesn't mean it's always easy.

Daniel
Current Undergrad, Philosophy Reed College
10+ Years Tutoring

The ACT Science section isn't really a science test — it's a data interpretation test dressed up in lab coats. Daniel teaches students to ignore the jargon, zero in on graph axes and table headers, and extract answers directly from the figures before even reading the experimental descriptions. His Socratic questioning style pushes students to articulate what the data actually shows, which builds the reasoning confidence this section demands.

Marilyn
BA Reed College
1+ Years Tutoring

Most students panic when they see ACT Science passages full of unfamiliar terminology, but the section is really a test of graph reading and experimental logic — not biology or chemistry knowledge. Marilyn scored a 34 composite and teaches students to ignore the jargon and focus on extracting trends from data tables, identifying control variables, and evaluating conflicting viewpoints. Once students see it as a reasoning exercise, their accuracy jumps.

Nikita
BA University
6+ Years Tutoring

The ACT Science section looks intimidating, but it's really a data-interpretation test disguised in lab coats. Nikita teaches students to ignore the scientific jargon and go straight to the graphs, tables, and experimental setups — extracting trends and relationships before reading a single question. That approach turns a section many students dread into one of their most improvable scores.

Niki
BA University
9+ Years Tutoring

I am a recent graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder. I received my Bachelor of Science in Chemical and Biological Engineering with a minor in French. During my time at CU, I studied abroad in Paris, as well as being a Teaching Assistant for Chemistry, Biology, and Fluid Mechanics for engineers and often helped my peers with homework. During the summer and fall I teach percussion for a local high school marching band. While I tutor a variety of math and science topics, my favorite subjects are chemistry and physics, as I love exploring the ways in which the world works. Education is of the highest importance to me, and I wish to share this passion with my students. In my spare time, I like to read suspense novels, play a variety of string instruments, and play Legend of Zelda.
