I am a Neuroscience and Behavior major at Columbia University. Although my major is centered in the STEM field, I am also passionate about human rights work, global engagement, and local outreach. While my future plans are subject to change, I see myself continuing in academia, going to medical scho...

I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Com...

Scoring a 36 ACT composite means Vivian didn't just read the passages — she learned to dismantle them, distinguishing between what the author states explicitly and what's merely implied. Her approach to the Reading section zeroes in on how to handle the dual-passage comparisons and inference questio...

A government major at Harvard, Richard spent his coursework doing exactly what the ACT Reading section rewards: rapidly digesting competing political arguments, identifying an author's central claim, and distinguishing stated evidence from implied conclusions — skills that map directly onto the soci...

The ACT Reading section gives students just 35 minutes for four dense passages, which means most score gains come from learning how to read strategically rather than thoroughly. Michelle teaches a passage-mapping approach — identifying the author's argument, tone shifts, and key evidence before touc...

The ACT Reading section punishes students who read every passage the same way; a science excerpt and a humanities narrative require different strategies for locating evidence under time pressure. Aaron, who earned a 36 composite, walks students through passage-mapping techniques that cut re-reading ...

The ACT Reading section isn't really about comprehension — most students understand the passages just fine. The challenge is locating evidence and eliminating wrong answers in under nine minutes per passage. Grace, who scored a 35 composite, teaches a passage-mapping strategy that turns each reading...

I am an incoming student at Washington University in St. Louis. I have been passionate about teaching ever since I had the opportunity to teach at an Indian public school in 2018. It's one of my favorite activities the gives me genuine joy. Hopefully, I'll be able to make teaching fun for you too! L...

Most ACT Reading mistakes come from spending too long on dense passages and rushing through easier ones. Jai scored a 35 composite and developed a pacing strategy that matches passage type to time allocation, so students learn to identify inference and tone questions quickly without misreading what ...

Between a neurobiology major and an economics minor at Harvard, Emma spent four years toggling between scientific research papers and policy-driven arguments — the exact mix of passage types the ACT Reading section throws at students in 35 minutes. She teaches students to identify what each paragrap...

I am originally from Alabama and graduated from Birmingham-Southern College with a BA in English Language and Literature. Immediately after undergrad, I relocated to New York City to pursue my law degree at Fordham University. After earning my Juris Doctor and passing the NY bar exam, I worked for f...

I am very comfortable tutoring any subject that is listed on my profile.

The ACT Reading section gives students 35 minutes for four dense passages, which means raw reading speed matters less than knowing what the questions actually ask. Matthew's self-study approach to the ACT — he scored a 35 composite — taught him to categorize question types (detail retrieval, inferen...
