Elliot
Certified ACT Tutor
Elliot
BA Hampshire College • Doctor of Philosophy, Neuroscience Vanderbilt University
9+ Years Tutoring

Elliot's neuroscience PhD means he's spent years designing experiments, interpreting data, and writing precisely — the exact skill set the ACT tests across all four sections, from Science passage analysis to the grammar logic underlying English questions. He earned a perfect 36 composite and uses that full-score perspective to show students where the test rewards careful reading over rushing, especially on the Reading and Science sections where most timing mistakes happen. Rated 5.0 by students.

Certified ACT Tutor
Chelain
PhD Thomas Jefferson University • BA Swarthmore College
10+ Years Tutoring

Scoring a 33 on the ACT while juggling a dual PhD/MD track gave Chelain a firsthand appreciation for efficient test strategy — knowing when to skip, when to guess, and how to manage the clock across all four sections. As a radiation oncology resident at Northwestern, she brings the same analytical precision to breaking down Science and Math passages that she uses in clinical problem-solving. Rated 5.0 by students.

Danielle
BA Tufts University • Doctor of Medicine, Premedicine University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus
8+ Years Tutoring

Three semesters teaching ESL to immigrants and refugees at Tufts gave Danielle something most ACT tutors lack — a trained instinct for spotting exactly where a student's understanding breaks down and adjusting on the fly. She earned a perfect 36 composite and applies that adaptability across all four sections, with particular strength in the English and Reading strategies her language-teaching background sharpened. Rated 5.0 by students.

Enrico
BA Massachusetts Institute of Technology
6+ Years Tutoring

A perfect 36 ACT composite came from Enrico's systematic approach to each section — particularly the Math and Science portions, where his MIT mathematics training lets him spot the fastest path to an answer instead of grinding through every calculation. He teaches timing strategies section by section, showing students how to triage questions and avoid the traps that cost points in the final ten minutes. Rated 5.0 by students.

Olivia
BA University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus
6+ Years Tutoring

Chemical engineering trained Olivia to process dense technical information quickly and accurately — the exact skill that makes the ACT Science section click and keeps the Math section's later problems from becoming time sinks. She scored a 34 composite and covers the full exam, drawing on her Spanish and French fluency to bring genuine language expertise to the English and Reading sections where grammar and rhetorical structure drive the toughest questions. Rated 4.9 by students.

Lena
MS Drexel University • BA Tufts University
7+ Years Tutoring

A 35 ACT composite means Lena scored at the top across all four sections — and her science background gives her a particular edge on the Science and Math portions, where data interpretation and quick reasoning under time pressure separate good scores from great ones. She breaks the test into repeatable strategies for each section, from pacing on Reading passages to eliminating trap answers in English. Rated 5.0 by students.

Naomi
BA Princeton University
6+ Years Tutoring

A year spent teaching English to learners of all ages in Indonesia sharpened Naomi's ability to break complex material into clear, digestible steps — a skill she now applies across all four ACT sections and the optional Writing test. Her 35 composite reflects genuine range: the same sociology and literature coursework at Princeton that keeps her Reading and English strategies sharp also trained her in the data analysis that makes the Science section click. Rated 5.0 by students.

She scored a 33 composite and covers all four sections plus Writing, leaning on her analytical background for Math and Science while applying her lifelong reading habits to the rhetorical and grammar questions that catch STEM-minded students off guard.

Zora
MS University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus • BA University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus
5+ Years Tutoring

Most of Zora's tutoring experience has been prepping high school students for the reading and writing sections of standardized tests, so she knows exactly where the ACT's English and Reading questions try to mislead — and she brings that same detail-oriented approach to Math and Science, backed by a 35 composite. Her dual-degree program in Applied Psychology and Education means she understands how students actually learn under pressure, not just what they need to learn.

Amanda
BA The University of Alabama • Doctor of Medicine, Public Health Baylor College of Medicine
8+ Years Tutoring

Medical school trains you to absorb massive amounts of information under pressure — a skill Amanda now applies to ACT prep, where she teaches students to work through all four sections strategically rather than reactively. Her 34 composite and biology background make the Math and Science sections natural territory, but her public health training also sharpened the evidence-based reading and data interpretation skills that carry through English and Reading. Rated 4.7 by students.

Mary
BA University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus
1+ Years Tutoring

Neuroscience, chemistry, and Spanish coursework at the University of Pittsburgh means Mary doesn't just coach one or two ACT sections — she's fluent in the actual content behind all four, from the organic chemistry concepts lurking in Science passages to the rhetorical patterns that drive English questions. Her 35 composite and hands-on experience as a chemistry teaching assistant translate into a prep style that's less about tricks and more about genuinely understanding what each question is asking. Rated 4.8 by students.

Juliette
BA University
6+ Years Tutoring

Music, French, and English might seem like an unusual combination for ACT prep, but Juliette's fluency across all three gives her a genuine advantage on the Reading and English sections — she instinctively spots rhetorical shifts and grammatical structures that other tutors have to teach by rote. Her 35 composite confirms she's just as strong on Math and Science, where she teaches students to treat data-heavy passages as translation exercises: decode the visual, find the pattern, answer the question. Rated 5.0 by students.
