Ilesh
BA Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus
6+ Years Tutoring

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.

Tyler
BA Emory University
1+ Years Tutoring

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 that minimizes re-reading. It's a methodical approach that turns a stressful time crunch into a manageable routine.

Jennifer
BA Emory University
1+ Years Tutoring

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 adjust their annotation approach accordingly. Her 35 ACT composite came partly from mastering this kind of adaptive reading under pressure.

Ethan
BA Washington University in St. Louis
6+ Years Tutoring

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 each passage around its central claim and use that claim to quickly eliminate answer choices that subtly shift scope or misrepresent the author's reasoning.

Burhanuddin
BA Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus
5+ Years Tutoring

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 stated with what's merely adjacent. He teaches students to anchor each passage around its central argument and then treat answer choices as claims to verify against the text, not gut-check. His 35 ACT composite and 5.0 student rating back that up.

I am working my way to med-school and a bright future. Active in both the Honors program and Center for Undergraduate Research, I have developed a great work ethic which I hope to impart to my students! I've spent the past two summers teaching private swim lessons to children and adults throughout my community. Turning a person's goal into reality is the greatest thrill I've known! Similarly, I spent two semesters as a mentor at the Thomas Lay After-School Program in Athens, GA. There, I both tutored and befriended the children of the program. My favorite memory occurred during mandatory reading hours. A stubborn, apathetic boy refused to read any books. Rather than becoming frustrated, I asked him "If you could be any animal, what would you be?" I knew the library had a large section of zoology books, and hoped to pique his interest. Immediately, he responded "A fish!" The following weeks were filled with shark, octopus, and whale books. To this day, his transformation from disinterested to engaged and motivated fuels my desire to mentor today's youth.

I am currently a rising junior at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia although I am originally from Chicago, IL. I am double majoring in Psychology and English. My current GPA is a 3.9 and I have taken a wide range of courses. I was editor in chief of my school's newspaper, competed internationally for our Model UN team, and I currently college counsel low-income high-achieving students at high schools in downtown Atlanta, in addition to tutoring multiple students in ACT/SAT prep, English, Biology, and History. This includes helping them prepare for standardized tests, editing essays and applications, and generating lists of potential institutions to apply to. I received a 35 on my ACT. In the past, I was a teacher's assistant at a home and school for severely autistic children ages 9-14, and worked on overcoming communicative barriers to foster interpersonal connections. I have also tutored multiple children with learning disabilities. In my experience, getting students engaged is just about finding the strategy that works best for them. That may mean we have to try multiple approaches, or approaches that I don't prefer, but I am willing to do whatever it takes to achieve that incredible feeling with a student when they finally grasp a concept.
