Award-Winning ACT Science Tutors
serving Fort Collins, CO

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I am currently a resident physician at Northwestern Hospital.

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

The ACT Science section is less about knowing chemistry or biology and more about interpreting graphs, tables, and conflicting experimental viewpoints under time pressure. Sarah scored a 35 ACT composite and treats this section as a data-literacy exercise, teaching students to identify variables and trends quickly without getting distracted by unfamiliar scientific jargon. Her 5.0 rating speaks to how well that approach lands.

The ACT Science section isn't really a science test — it's a data interpretation exercise disguised as one. Christopher scored a 35 composite and teaches students to read graphs, compare experimental designs, and identify conflicting viewpoints quickly, drawing on his mechanical engineering background at Harvard to make scientific reasoning feel intuitive.

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.

The ACT Science section is less about biology or chemistry knowledge and more about reading graphs under pressure — and Tracy, who scored a 36 composite, approaches it exactly that way. She teaches students to ignore the scientific jargon, locate the variables in each figure, and identify trends before even glancing at the questions. Once students stop trying to understand the experiment and start extracting data, their accuracy jumps.

I am available to tutor in a broad range of subjects, though I am most passionate about Economics, History, and Civics. Please feel free to contact me and I would be happy to arrange a session.

Most students panic when they see an unfamiliar experiment on the ACT Science section, but the test is really about interpreting graphs, tables, and conflicting viewpoints under time pressure. Sugi's dual background in biochemistry and cognitive science — plus years of reading dense research literature in medical school — makes her especially effective at teaching students to extract data quickly without getting lost in scientific jargon. Her perfect 36 ACT speaks for itself.

The ACT Science section tests data interpretation far more than scientific knowledge, but students with science backgrounds still have an edge in parsing unfamiliar experiments quickly. Danielle is a first-year med student at Pitt with a biology degree from Tufts, so conflicting-viewpoints passages and complex data tables are second nature to her. She scored a 36 composite and teaches students to read graphs before reading text — a simple shift that consistently saves time.

The ACT Science section is really a data-interpretation exam disguised as science, and Talia treats it that way. She breaks down how to read conflicting-scientist passages, extract trends from dense graphs, and eliminate answer choices without needing any outside scientific knowledge — the same approach that earned her a perfect 36 composite.

I am no longer needed.

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.
