I'm not that guy! Like many students, understanding comes with repetition of principles and hard work. I have the perspective of a student trying to understand, not a teacher trying to preach. I love working with people from the ground up; we start at the comfort zone and work our way to improvement. I know I don't know everything, so I'm excited to learn as well!

Kendall's physics degree makes the ACT Science section click in a way most prep tutors can't replicate — she reads data tables and experimental designs the way she learned to in lab, and teaches students to do the same in under a minute per question. Her approach treats the section as a graph-reading and reasoning exercise, since the actual science knowledge required is minimal. She scored a 35 ACT composite and holds a 5.0 rating.

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.

Having lived in seven states before college, Jared learned to adapt quickly — a skill he now applies to the ACT Science section's rapid shifts between biology graphs, chemistry tables, and physics experiments across seven passages in 35 minutes. He teaches students to identify the key variables in each figure before reading any surrounding text, which keeps pacing tight and prevents jargon-induced freezes. His 34 ACT composite and 4.9 rating reflect a no-nonsense, data-first approach.

I am currently studying Elementary Education at Brigham Young University. I am also minoring in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) and Spanish DLI (Dual Language Immersion). I am fluent in Spanish because I lived in Mexico for 18 months, but I also went through the language learning process in high school classes and understand the challenges students face. I love teaching and tutoring anyone with a desire to improve, especially elementary aged students. I try to make learning fun and accessible to each individual student's learning style. In my spare time I like to read, cook, play tennis and paint.

Most students panic when they see the ACT Science section's graphs and data tables, but the trick is treating it like a reading comprehension exercise with numbers. Samantha, who scored a 34 composite, teaches students to ignore the intimidating scientific jargon and zero in on what the figures are actually showing. Her 5.0 rating speaks to how well that approach clicks.

Most students panic at the ACT Science section because it looks like a science test, but it's really about reading graphs, interpreting data tables, and evaluating conflicting hypotheses under time pressure. Rachel scored a 33 ACT composite and treats this section as a logic and reading exercise, teaching students to extract answers from figures before even glancing at the questions.

Most students panic when they see the ACT Science section, but it's less about knowing biology or chemistry and more about interpreting graphs, tables, and conflicting viewpoints under time pressure. John's physics background means he's deeply comfortable with data analysis and experimental design — the two skills that actually drive scores on this section. Rated 4.8 by students.

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 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 certain that everyone has gifts waiting to be uncovered.
