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.

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.

The ACT Reading section rewards speed and strategy more than deep literary analysis — it's about locating evidence quickly and eliminating wrong answers with confidence. Christian scored a 34 composite and teaches students a systematic passage-attack method that prioritizes time management across the four passage types. Rated 5.0 by students, he breaks down how to handle the dual-passage comparison questions that trip up most test-takers.

The ACT Reading section rewards a specific kind of speed — not skimming, but knowing exactly what to extract from each passage type. Oliver, who scored a 33 composite, teaches students to attack the paired-passage and prose fiction sections with targeted annotation strategies that cut re-reading time in half.

Speed is the real enemy on ACT Reading: four passages, forty questions, thirty-five minutes. Rohith teaches a deliberate approach to each passage type — prose fiction, social science, humanities, natural science — showing students how to locate evidence quickly and eliminate answer choices without second-guessing themselves.

I am a lifelong learner, and I would love to be your next tutor!

The ACT Reading section rewards a specific kind of speed — not skimming, but knowing where to look and how to eliminate answer choices that sound right but aren't supported by the passage. Graham, an avid reader studying astrophysics and chemistry at CU Boulder, breaks down each passage type (prose fiction, social science, humanities, natural science) so students know what to expect before the clock starts. His 33 ACT composite backs up the approach.

I am an incoming first year medical student at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Aurora, Colorado. I graduated from the University of Virginia with a BS in Biomedical Engineering. Through the course of my undergraduate career, I served as a teaching assistant for Cell & Molecular Biology and both undergraduate and graduate versions of Introduction to MATLAB. I also have experience volunteering as a tutor from elementary to high school levels. In addition to teaching, I have personal experience with the ACT, SAT, AP, IB, and MCAT exams. I would like to now use my teaching experience to help local students in the subjects I encountered during my undergraduate career. I love teaching and work to make learning as easy as possible by employing games, shortcuts, and gradual build-up so that my students can improve to their desired performance levels.

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

Most students treat ACT Reading like a comprehension quiz, but it's really a speed-and-evidence game — four passages, forty questions, thirty-five minutes. Paige, who scored a 32 composite and reads analytically by training as a philosophy major, teaches students to locate textual evidence fast and eliminate answer choices that sound right but aren't supported. Her 5.0 rating speaks to how well that approach clicks with students.

The ACT Reading section isn't really about reading — it's about efficiently locating evidence across four dense passages in 35 minutes. Austin teaches a strategic approach to passage ordering and question triage that keeps students from burning time on the hardest literary narrative while leaving easy social science points on the table. His 33 ACT composite and 5.0 tutoring rating speak to how well this method translates to real score gains.

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.

Most students treat ACT Reading as a speed test, but Ilesh reframes it as a precision exercise: knowing what the question actually asks before hunting for evidence in the passage. His 36 composite came partly from a disciplined passage-mapping strategy that he now teaches students to replicate across all four prose genres the section throws at them.

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.

Most ACT Reading mistakes come from time pressure, not comprehension — students understand passages but can't consistently answer 40 questions in 35 minutes. Elliot teaches a triage strategy: how to identify question types, when to skim versus close-read, and how to eliminate answer choices that paraphrase the passage just enough to seem right. Rated 5.0 by students.

Medical school at the University of Arizona means Alex reads hundreds of pages of dense, unfamiliar material every week — the same core skill the ACT Reading section tests under a 35-minute clock. With a perfect 36 ACT composite, he teaches students to attack the paired viewpoints and natural science passages by isolating each author's claim before looking at answer choices, which eliminates the subtle scope-shift traps that cost most test-takers points. Rated 4.8 by students.

After scoring a perfect 36 ACT composite, Anna developed a question-first approach to the Reading section — previewing what each question demands before touching the passage, so every line read serves a purpose. Her medical education background means she's used to processing dense, unfamiliar material quickly and extracting exactly what matters, a skill that translates directly to the natural science and social science passages. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am currently a resident physician at Northwestern Hospital.

I am a Neuroscience and Behavior major at Columbia University. Although my major is centered in the STEM field, I am also passionate about human rights work, global engagement, and local outreach. While my future plans are subject to change, I see myself continuing in academia, going to medical school, and becoming a physician.

I am a Yale graduate with over 8 years experience tutoring students from a variety of backgrounds. I recently graduated from the Yale School of Public Health with a MPH concentrating in Epidemiology and Global Health. I also received my B.S. from Yale with a double major in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and French. I have experience both leading group classes and working with students one on one. I will respond to a student's strengths, weaknesses, and learning style in order to help them succeed and make the most of our time together. I earned a perfect score of 36 on the ACT, 2280 on the SAT, and qualified as a National Merit Scholar on the PSAT. I look forward to working with you!

Most ACT Reading mistakes come from spending too long on one passage or second-guessing answers that felt right the first time. Edward teaches a timing strategy that allocates minutes by passage type — prose fiction, social science, humanities, natural science — and shows students how to locate textual evidence quickly instead of re-reading entire paragraphs. His 36 composite reflects command of every section, not just the math side.

Most ACT Reading mistakes come from spending too long on passages and rushing through questions — or the reverse. Logan, who earned a 36 composite, teaches a deliberate passage-mapping technique that lets students locate evidence for inference and detail questions without rereading entire paragraphs. His communication background also sharpens how students interpret tone and author's-purpose questions.

Mechanical engineering coursework at Harvard means Christopher reads the way the ACT Reading section rewards — extracting key claims from dense technical material fast and ignoring everything that doesn't answer the question in front of him. He applies that same efficiency to all four passage types, teaching students to map an author's argument structure in the first read so that inference and detail questions become quick lookups rather than guesswork. His 35 ACT composite and 4.8 student rating back up the approach.

The ACT Reading section isn't really about comprehension — it's about extracting specific evidence under a brutal time constraint. Benjamin scored a 36 composite and applies the close-reading skills from his Columbia English program to teach students how to identify what each question is actually asking, locate proof in the passage quickly, and eliminate trap answers with confidence.

I am available to tutor a range of middle school and high school subjects, but I am most excited about tutoring test prep. I remember how stressful preparing for college can be and I am eager to do my part in helping students fulfill their college goals. I believe that learning is a collaborative process and I am committed to being as actively involved in the student's learning as I can. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, going to the movies (I try to see each Oscar nominee before the ceremony every year.), and am a huge Michigan sports fan.

Reading dense, unfamiliar passages under time pressure is where most ACT Reading scores stall out. Austin's background in Classics and Philosophy means he spent years doing exactly that — pulling arguments from ancient texts and evaluating how authors build their claims. He teaches students to map passage structure before touching the questions, turning a 35-minute sprint into a manageable process.

I am most excited about helping other students achieve their dreams of going to medical school by helping them study for the MCAT. Besides MCAT tutoring, my favorite subjects are chemistry, biology, and math which are all subjects I have tutored in before. I believe that every student can learn the material they hope to with the right guidance and effort. I hope that I can help students realize their full potential and grow in confidence as a learner. Outside of teaching, I like to perform in musicals, most recently I have been in local productions of Mamma Mia and Footloose, as well spend time with friends.

Ryne earned a perfect 36 ACT composite, which means he knows firsthand how to handle the Reading section's brutal pacing — 40 questions in 35 minutes with no room for second-guessing. His political science training built a habit of quickly dissecting competing claims in dense texts, and he applies that to teaching students how dual passages and paired questions try to blur the line between an author's actual position and a tempting distortion. Rated 4.9 by students.

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.

Most ACT Reading mistakes come not from misunderstanding the passage but from misreading the question — confusing "the author suggests" with "the passage states" or missing a keyword like "except." Dennis, who earned a perfect 36 composite, teaches a passage-mapping strategy that cuts re-reading time and makes evidence-based answer elimination systematic rather than instinctive.

I am no longer needed.

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.

I'm not tutoring, I love walking through New York for design inspiration and taking carpentry, metalworking, and illustration classes.

I am currently a fourth year medical student in Indianapolis. I completed my undergraduate education at Indiana University Bloomington, where I majored in Biology and Spanish. I also completed two minors in Mathematics and Chemistry. While at IU, I worked for the Department of Mathematics and Department of Spanish. I also worked as a Peer Tutor for the IU Athletics Department, tutoring in several subjects including statistics, chemistry, physics, and Spanish. I graduated from college with a 4.0, and I entered medical school shortly thereafter. Since coming to medical school, I have excelled in all of my pre-clinical coursework, and I currently rank in the Top 20% of my class. I feel very comfortable and confident tutoring other students in a variety of subjects from math and science to Spanish. I like to think that the same techniques I have used to excel in all phases of my education can be easily adapted to other students and help you achieve your academic goals, just as I have!

After scoring a 35 ACT composite, Frances developed a systematic method for the Reading section that prioritizes passage mapping — identifying the author's purpose and argument structure before touching the questions. She's especially strong on the paired-passage format, where students often lose points by conflating the two authors' positions.

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.

Scoring a 36 ACT composite means Emily has beaten every passage type the Reading section throws at students — prose fiction, social science, humanities, natural science — under real time pressure. Her computational biology training at Cornell, which requires constant toggling between dense scientific papers and code documentation, built a habit of extracting exactly what a text claims without getting pulled into irrelevant detail. She teaches students to pre-map each passage's argument in under two minutes, so question time is spent confirming answers rather than hunting for them.

I am currently pursuing a Bachelors of Science in Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I am also a graduate of the high school International Baccalaureate Program. I have informal experience tutoring high school physics, but am most passionate about tutoring students for the ACT standardized test, having had extensive experience preparing for standardized tests throughout high school. I am eager to aid students in boosting their scores before their upcoming college applications, an important milestone in many students' lives. In my free time, I also enjoy playing tennis.

The ACT Reading section isn't really testing how well you read — it's testing how quickly you can locate specific evidence in passages you've never seen before. Sreya scored a 36 composite and developed a systematic approach to dual passages and inference questions that cuts through the time pressure. She teaches students to identify what each question is actually asking before they go back to the text.
