Award-Winning ACT Science Tutors
serving Aurora, CO

I am a student at the Georgia Institute of Technology studying Chemical Engineering. For the past several years, I have worked with students extensively. Through hosting events for younger kids to learn about STEM and for older teens to practice empathetic design, I know the importance of teaching students in ways that engage them rather than frustrate them, which I apply to my teaching. I have tutored high school students in a drop-in resource center in various subjects including math of all levels, chemistry, and English, making me adequately equipped in a variety of topics. I have also tutored several students long-term. Establishing relationships with students and exploring their unique learning styles is my favorite part of tutoring. I prioritize helping students discover HOW to learn in a manner that is the most effective for them, so they can begin to use those skills on their own throughout their education. Learning is a lifelong skill that requires practice for improvement; I strive to help my students gain confidence in their ability to learn.

Rohith's astronomy major means he's comfortable with the kind of dense figures and experimental comparisons that make the ACT Science section feel overwhelming to most students — reading spectra, tracking variable relationships across charts, and evaluating competing models was just coursework for him. He brings that fluency to test day by teaching students to identify what each figure's axes actually measure before even glancing at the questions, which eliminates most of the guesswork.

The ACT Science section is less about knowing science and more about reading graphs, interpreting experimental designs, and spotting trends in data quickly. Colton's biomedical engineering training at UVA means he spent years doing exactly that — pulling conclusions from complex datasets and evaluating conflicting results. His 32 ACT composite and deep science background make him especially effective at teaching the passage-analysis strategies this section actually tests.

I am a current student at the Colorado School of Mines, studying to double major in Applied Mathematics and Engineering Physics. I have been tutoring students professionally for one year, but also through my schools for 5 years now. I tutor most kinds of Math and Science, and love doing so; being able to help spread understanding of a difficult concept never fails to bring me joy. As a current student, I understand how lecturing is often not the most effective (or interesting) way to learn, so I like to be very interactive and ask a lot of questions in my teaching, almost like a conversation between the student and myself.

I am a neuroscience and psychology double major from CU Boulder working to go to PA school down the road. I am originally from the East coast, but definitely prefer the hiking here. I was a learning assistant (basically student focused teacher aid) at CU, and took a course to learn more effective pedagogy. Afterwards, I was asked to be a mentor, and continued trying to help as much as I can.

Most students panic when they see the ACT Science section, but it's really a data interpretation test disguised as science. Christian's mechanical engineering background means reading graphs, tables, and experimental setups is second nature to him, and he teaches students to ignore jargon and zero in on what the data actually shows. His 34 ACT composite and 5.0 rating speak to how well that approach translates to score gains.

Most of ACT Science isn't really about science knowledge — it's about reading graphs, spotting trends, and comparing experimental setups under time pressure. Oliver's 33 ACT composite and his CU Boulder science training make him unusually well-equipped for the section: he teaches the data-interpretation shortcuts while also explaining the underlying biology and chemistry when a question actually demands content knowledge.

An environmental biology degree turns out to be perfect preparation for the ACT Science section, which is really a test of how quickly you can read graphs, interpret experimental designs, and compare competing hypotheses. Rosemary teaches students to ignore the intimidating scientific jargon and zero in on the data tables and figure labels where the actual answers live. Her 32 ACT composite backs up the approach.

Most students panic when they see the ACT Science section's dense graphs and conflicting-viewpoints passages, but the trick is realizing it's mostly a data interpretation test. Graham's astrophysics and chemistry coursework at CU Boulder means he reads scientific figures daily, and he teaches students to extract trends and compare experimental setups quickly rather than getting lost in jargon. He holds a 5.0 client rating.

I am a undergraduate student who is willing to help other students in subjects that they may be experiencing difficulties in.

Treat the ACT Science section like a data interpretation exercise, not a science test — that's the core of Austin's approach. He walks students through how to read conflicting viewpoints passages and extract trends from graphs without getting lost in unfamiliar terminology about pH levels or geological strata. As a computer science major in the KU Honors Program, he's comfortable with data analysis and teaches students to be the same.

I am a licensed high school history teacher, but have worked with 2-year-olds, college undergraduates, and every age in between. I have previously tutored preschoolers through high schoolers in math and reading, and worked at a university in Santiago with Chilean undergraduates studying both English as a second language and the teaching of English. I am most passionate about teaching in the humanities, but find that working with students on any subject is fulfilling, including standardized test prep. Having lived abroad in Spain and Chile, I also know the importance of connecting classroom learning in Spanish to the actual experience of the language and am always excited to help Spanish come alive beyond conjugation worksheets. Regardless of subject, I strive to ensure that my students build the strategies and confidence they need to be capable, self-directed learners. My own interests include reading, camping and hiking, cooking, and rugby.

Most students overthink the ACT Science section because they assume it requires deep content knowledge — it doesn't. It's really a data interpretation exam that tests whether you can read graphs, compare experimental setups, and spot conflicting viewpoints in under a minute per question. Austin breaks each passage type into a specific reading strategy so students stop hunting for science they already know and start extracting the answers the figures already contain.

The ACT Science section isn't really a science test — it's a data interpretation test disguised as one. Emily's background in biology, chemistry, and biostatistics means she can quickly teach students to parse conflicting viewpoints passages and extract trends from dense graphs, which is where most points are lost. Her 35 ACT composite shows she's mastered the pacing and strategy the section demands.

I am an undergraduate at Washington University in St. Louis majoring in Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology on the Premed track. I have two years worth of experience peer tutoring. I feel the most confident tutoring ACT preparation. During my time as a high school student, I worked from an ACT score of 25 to a 36 and developed many effective strategies that I will tailor to the students I tutor and understand the ins and outs of the test. In addition to working with high school peers, I have also enjoyed teaching private piano and violin lessons for elementary students. Helping people knock down their roadblocks is a passion of mine. Standardized tests and basic education may feel removed from our passions, but developing those foundations are essential for opening up opportunities and becoming capable of taking on our pursuits.

The ACT Science section is really a data interpretation exam disguised with lab coats and beakers. Alex approaches it that way — teaching students to read graphs, compare experimental setups, and spot conflicting hypotheses without getting lost in unfamiliar terminology. As a medical student with a chemical engineering background and a 36 ACT composite, he knows exactly when the section requires outside science knowledge and when it doesn't.

I am no longer needed.

The ACT Science section is less about knowing biology or chemistry and more about reading graphs, interpreting conflicting viewpoints, and extracting data under a tight clock. Bidyut — who scored a 36 composite and studies biomedical engineering — teaches students a systematic method for parsing dense passages and tables so they spend their time answering, not re-reading.

Most students overthink the ACT Science section because they assume it tests scientific knowledge — it's actually a speed-reading exercise disguised as science. Kevin, who earned a 36 composite, teaches students to extract trends from graphs, compare experimental setups, and identify conflicting viewpoints without getting lost in jargon. His engineering background means he can also fill in the real science when a question does require outside knowledge, particularly in physics and chemistry.

I am a current sophomore at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where I am majoring in Biology as part of the 7 Year Accelerated Medical Program. I am also minoring in Healthcare Economics and Policy. My favorite subjects in school are Chemistry, Biology, and Math, but I also enjoy the process of writing and editing thought provoking essays. During high school, I spent time tutoring for the National Honor Society. My approach to tutoring is to teach the concepts in a simplistic manner and reinforcing the concepts while adding difficulty through effective practice problems. In my free time, I have recently found myself reading, working out, drawing, and spending time with my siblings.

I am a junior at Purdue University studying Aerospace Engineering and am part of the Air Force ROTC program. I have 6 years of tutoring experience at places including Kumon, Mathnasium, and Purdue University. I have worked with kids of all ages from kindergarten to sophomores in college, each with their own set of unique strengths, and tutored a variety of subjects, including calculus, trigonometry, geometry, thermodynamics, chemistry, and physics. Like many of my previous students, I struggled to understand concepts that I was being taught and was a terrible test taker. However, I found ways to overcome my obstacles and develop an better intuition for what I was learning. I believe that it is only this intuition and understanding that helps overcome these obstacles. My least favorite thing to see people be discouraged, so with a little bit of guidance and reassurance, I want to show people that they are capable of anything they put their mind to.

I am a recent graduate of Cornell University, where I received a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and graduated Magna Cum Laude. Over the past several years, I have worked with students from diverse backgrounds and experiences tutoring thermodynamics (my personal favorite), chemistry, and math. I have also tutored in the past for ACT/SAT and other subjects such as history, but I am deeply passionate about science and engineering. I tend to push my students to understand conceptual topics, as opposed to rote or algorithmic learning. In my free time, I love to bake sourdough, learn about history, garden, and recently started biking again.

I am passionate about helping students with math, science, test prep, and more! As sophomore undergraduate at Brown University studying Mathematics and Biophysics, I am well experienced with many topics. I received a perfect 36 on my ACT, so I am very confident with test taking.

Most students panic when they see an unfamiliar experiment on ACT Science, but the section rarely tests scientific knowledge — it tests whether you can read graphs, compare data trends, and evaluate conflicting hypotheses under time pressure. Rhea, a biology major at UChicago on the pre-med track, unpacks each passage type (data representation, research summaries, conflicting viewpoints) with a different reading strategy. Her 36 ACT composite came from treating this section as a data literacy exercise.
