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 acros...

I am double majoring in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology and Philosophy at Emory University. I genuinely enjoy working with students to achieve their academic goals. I have experience teaching children and adolescents language skills, science, and math. In my free time, I can mostly be found outs...

Most ACT Reading mistakes happen not because students misunderstand the passage, but because they run out of time and start rushing. Tyler, who earned a 35 composite, tackles this by teaching a deliberate passage-mapping strategy: skimming for structure first, then attacking questions in an order th...

The ACT Reading section rewards a specific kind of speed — not rushing, but knowing exactly what the question is asking before going back to the passage. Jennifer treats each passage type (prose fiction, social science, humanities, natural science) as its own mini-strategy, teaching students to adju...

Neuroscience coursework at WashU means Ethan spends his weeks digesting research papers that blend hard science with complex argumentation — the same kind of reading the ACT throws at students in its natural science and social science passages. With a 35 ACT composite, he teaches students to anchor ...

I'm always up for the challenge of changing my methods of instruction and breaking down topics to foster a deeper understanding of a subject. On a different note, I generally spend my spare time playing lacrosse or running outdoors when possible. I also play the violin with a school quartet, and tea...

Physics majors at Georgia Tech don't get far without learning to extract precise meaning from dense, technical writing under time pressure — a habit Burhanuddin brings to the ACT Reading section's natural science and social science passages, where students often lose points by confusing what's state...

I am currently a graduate student at Georgia Tech studying Prosthetics and Orthotics. My career goal is to become a certified prosthetist/orthotist, which means I would make and fit artificial limbs (prostheses) to patients who need them as well as make and fit assistive devices that support existin...

An avid reader and writing center volunteer, Jackson treats ACT Reading as a pacing and strategy challenge, not a comprehension one. He breaks down how to attack each passage type — prose fiction, social science, humanities, natural science — with targeted annotation habits that keep students on tra...

Between a neurobiology degree and a master's in education, Marion has spent years toggling between dense scientific literature and the craft of teaching people how to actually understand what they read — which is the entire game on ACT Reading. She teaches students to anchor each passage around the ...

I am a Biotechnology Master's Student at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zurich. I completed my undergraduate degree in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from Georgia Tech in 2018 while minoring in Biomedical Engineering. My passion is researching novel ways to use ethically deriv...

I am an undergraduate at Rice University in Houston pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. I have both formal and informal tutoring experience: I worked as an assistant teacher in my high school's math department in Atlanta teaching geometry, algebra and pre-calculus to stu...

I am a graduate of the University of Alabama at Birmingham. I graduated with honors, majoring in neuroscience and minoring in mathematics, chemistry, and French. I aspire to become a physician, especially a neurologist, since I am kind of obsessed with the brain and our nervous system. For the next ...

I am a rising junior in Cornell University in the College of Engineering. Currently, I am studying Computer Science and Education with the goal of becoming a high school teacher for Mathematics and Computer Science. I have educated others in a wide variety of age groups and settings from public scho...

I'm Thomas, a sophomore Computer Science student at Georgia Tech. While I may be a STEM major at a tech school, I've always been skilled in reading and writing, never earning less than A in an English class throughout my academic career. If you're looking for someone with a high success rate in Engl...
