The ACT Reading section isn't really about reading — it's about finding specific evidence under a tight time constraint. Benjin, who scored a 36 composite, treats each passage as a scavenger hunt: he teaches students to read the questions first, identify what type of answer the ACT rewards, and resist the temptation to over-interpret. That strategic approach turns a rushed 35 minutes into a manageable routine.

The ACT Reading section is really a speed test — four passages, forty questions, thirty-five minutes — and Kendall teaches a deliberate strategy for triaging passages and eliminating answer choices under that pressure. An avid reader with a 35 ACT composite, she knows how to quickly identify the difference between what a passage states, what it implies, and what the test-makers want you to confuse. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am senior at Brigham Young University with a 4.0 GPA. I am majoring in Exercise Science and am going to go to Physical Therapy school. I am also getting a minor in Psychology. I lived in France for two years and became fluent in the French language. I continue to converse with natives in French. I was a college chemistry TA for three semesters and love teaching chemistry. I did very well on standardized tests. I love to teach and impart knowledge to others in a way that is compatible with individual learning styles.

The ACT Reading section buries answers in dense passages and then offers answer choices designed to feel equally plausible. Jared's 34 ACT composite came partly from a systematic approach to this section: annotating for argument structure, eliminating distractors based on scope, and managing the 35-minute time limit so no passage gets rushed.

The ACT Reading section isn't really about reading — it's about efficiently extracting answers from dense passages in under nine minutes each. As an English major at BYU who earned a 34 composite, Samantha breaks down the difference between what a passage says and what the question actually asks, which is where most points get lost.

The ACT Reading section isn't really about reading — it's about extracting specific evidence from dense passages under brutal time pressure. Heather scored a 33 composite and teaches a passage-mapping strategy that keeps students from re-reading entire paragraphs to answer inference and detail questions. Her background in both English and TESOL sharpens her ability to unpack tricky question stems.

Scoring well on ACT Reading comes down to identifying an author's central argument and locating supporting evidence without getting lost in dense passages. Rachel reads voraciously — her academic research at Fordham centers on fan fiction and participatory culture — and she teaches students to distinguish main ideas from distractors across all four passage types. Her 33 ACT composite and 5.0 rating speak to that effectiveness.

The ACT Reading section is really a speed test — four passages, 40 questions, 35 minutes — and most students lose points not because they can't read, but because they don't have a system for finding answers quickly. John teaches a deliberate approach to passage mapping and evidence location that cuts down on re-reading and second-guessing. His own 34 ACT composite came from exactly this kind of strategic preparation.

I am currently a student at Brigham Young University studying Applied Physics. After finishing my degree I am planning on pursuing a master's degree in Aerospace Engineering. Since January 2014 I have worked in the physics help lab at BYU. Throughout this time I have greatly enjoyed helping many students increase their understanding of physics. I love seeing my students have a "light-bulb" moment where suddenly everything we discussed makes sense to them. I think it is extremely important for everyone to have (at least) a basic understanding of math and science as this helps us to better understand our world. I am greatly motivated to teach in a way that my students understand the fundamental principles and not in a way that they can merely get the right answer. I love trying to pass on my enthusiasm for math and science to my students, and I am always looking for ways to show how cool and fun mastering these subjects can be. Although I am most passionate about physics, I also tutor math and Spanish. When I'm not studying or teaching I enjoy swimming, reading (especially Michael Crichton and Orson Scott Card), and exchanging movie quotes with my roommates.

I am invested in each of my students' success and work hard to help them succeed. Consequently, each of my past tutoring clients has seen significant improvement.

I am certain that everyone has gifts waiting to be uncovered.
