Teaching algebra in public school and philosophy at a community college gave Grant an uncommon combination — he can walk students through the ACT Math section's trickier word problems and also sharpen the argument-evaluation skills that drive Reading and English scores. His 33 composite and dual background in psychology and mathematics mean he understands both the content and the mental game of staying focused across four back-to-back sections.

Premed biochemistry training at Drew means Ved doesn't fake fluency in any ACT section — the math, science, and analytical reading skills behind a 36 composite are things he uses in coursework daily, not just on test day. He zeroes in on the specific question types each student struggles with, whether that's the English section's punctuation traps or the Science section's conflicting-viewpoints passages that reward careful reading over actual science knowledge.
