Bidyut
BA Johns Hopkins University
8+ Years Tutoring

I am an undergraduate of the Johns Hopkins University, majoring in Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science. I have years of experience tutoring and teaching math and various sciences from an elementary to a college level. I primarily tutor college level courses such as physics and biochemistry, but also have extensive experience in social sciences, biology, and higher mathematics such as Calculus and Differential Equations. I believe that demonstrating the various real-world applications of a given concept is the best method to increase a student's understanding.

Certified ACT Reading Tutor
Chaya
BA University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
1+ Years Tutoring

Reading four dense passages in 35 minutes requires more than comprehension — it requires a system. Chaya teaches students how to actively annotate prose fiction, social science, humanities, and natural science passages so they can answer inference and main-idea questions without rereading entire paragraphs. Her literature and reading background at Michigan gives her a sharp eye for the kinds of textual evidence the ACT rewards.

Felipe
BA The University of Texas at Austin
6+ Years Tutoring

Biomedical engineering coursework means Felipe spends his days switching between research papers in biology, chemistry, and physics — each with different writing conventions and vocabulary — which built the kind of flexible, rapid comprehension the ACT Reading section's four passage types demand. With a 34 ACT composite, he teaches students to isolate what a question is actually asking before returning to the passage, a habit that cuts down on the re-reading that eats up time on detail and inference questions.

John
BA University of St Thomas • AS American Academy of Dramatic Arts
16+ Years Tutoring

Reading four dense passages in 35 minutes requires a method, not just speed. John breaks the ACT Reading section into a decision-making process: how to skim for structure, when to go back to the text versus trusting your first read, and how to eliminate answer choices that sound right but distort the passage. His 36 composite and background in literature make him especially sharp on the prose fiction and humanities passages.

Sugi
BA Rice University • Doctor of Medicine, Ophthalmic Technology Baylor College of Medicine
5+ Years Tutoring

Reading four dense passages in 35 minutes forces a different kind of reading than most students are used to. Sugi's cognitive science training at Rice gives her a framework for teaching active reading strategies — how to map an argument's structure on a first pass so that inference and tone questions become straightforward rather than agonizing. She holds a perfect 36 ACT composite and a 5.0 tutoring rating.

Alyssa
BA Texas Christian University • Doctor of Science, Physical Therapy Texas Woman's University
4+ Years Tutoring

The ACT Reading section gives students just 35 minutes for four dense passages, which means raw reading speed matters less than knowing where to look. Alyssa teaches a passage-mapping strategy that pinpoints main claims and key details before touching the questions — an approach refined from her own 35 composite score. She's rated 5.0 by students.

Jiatian
AB Rice University
8+ Years Tutoring

Most ACT Reading mistakes happen not because students can't comprehend the passage but because they spend too long on it and rush the questions. Jiatian teaches a triage method: skim for structure first, then go back to the text with specific question stems in mind. It's the same prioritize-and-filter approach she uses in medical training, applied to literary narratives and social science passages instead of clinical data.
