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 materi...

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,...

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 as...

I'm referring to math, of course, but I didn't always like the subject. Until about age 16, I thought of math as a boring, mind-numbing process of blindly memorizing formulas and then forgetting them after the test, but a series of wonderful teachers showed me the truth. I had thought that everythin...

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 ...

I am a 2023 graduate of the University of Notre Dame with a Finance/Economics major and a minor in Innovation and Entrepreneurship. I am a passionate student in the math and business realms, as I enjoy the intuitiveness of the former and the real-world potential of the latter. During classes in midd...

I'm Lizz, a middle school math teacher working in Chicago Public Schools. I love to see students go from describing themselves as "not a math person" to feeling like they meet exciting challenges in math and other parts of their lives. Even though I love working in the classroom, I feel like tutorin...

Having studied political science at the University of Chicago — where the Core Curriculum demands rapid synthesis of dense, argument-heavy readings across disciplines — Asta built the exact close-reading stamina the ACT Reading section punishes students for lacking. She teaches students to identify ...

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 ...

I am exploring my creativity by pursuing a double major in Asian Languages and Cultures with a focus in Korean, studying abroad in South Korea as a Benjamin A. Gilman Scholar, leading workshops that teach 3D printing and CAD for undergraduate students as the president of 3D4E, advocating for the fir...

Cognitive science at Northwestern is essentially the study of how people process language and meaning — which makes Amanda unusually well-suited to teach the ACT Reading section, where every question boils down to how carefully you tracked what an author actually said versus what you assumed. With a...

Most students lose ACT Reading points not because they misunderstand passages but because they mismanage time — spending four minutes on a dense humanities passage and then rushing through natural science. Oliver teaches a passage-triage strategy built around identifying question types before reread...

The ACT Reading section isn't really about reading — it's about extracting specific evidence under a brutal time constraint. Spencer, who scored a 36 composite, teaches a systematic passage approach: how to identify what each question is actually asking, where to find the answer in the text, and whe...

Speed is usually what kills ACT Reading scores, not comprehension. Connor teaches a passage-mapping strategy that cuts down re-reading time and sharpens the ability to distinguish between what the text actually says and what an answer choice merely implies. His 35 ACT composite backs up an approach ...

Most ACT Reading mistakes happen not because students misunderstand the passage, but because they spend too long on it and rush the questions. Jessica scored a 36 composite and teaches a dual-passage strategy — active annotation for detail-heavy science and social science passages, and a skim-then-t...
