Most students lose points on ACT Reading not because they can't read, but because they spend too long re-reading passages looking for answers they half-remember. Jack, who scored a 34 composite, teaches a passage-mapping technique that tags key claims and transitions on the first read, cutting down the back-and-forth and freeing up time for the trickier inference questions.

I am a graduate of the University of California - Berkeley where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Data Science. Throughout college, I have volunteered with numerous education equity organizations dedicated to helping children from challenging socioeconomic backgrounds thrive in school; taught Reading to students K-8, taught for a summer enrichment program , and worked as a group tutor for data science at university. Whether it is working with younger students build their foundations or helping older students advance in core subjects, I have a passion for education and making learning as fun and accessible as possible! Outside of tutoring, I work as an economic researcher in the public sector and volunteer at environmental oriented non-profits.

Pacing is what trips up most students on ACT Reading — four dense passages in 35 minutes leaves almost no room for re-reading. Ify teaches a strategic approach to each passage type (prose fiction, social science, humanities, natural science) that prioritizes active annotation and targeted evidence-finding. Her 32 ACT composite and 5.0 student rating speak to how well that method translates to real score gains.

I am a current student at Guilford College pursuing a degree in Biology, and I would love to help any student find their passion in math and science! I especially enjoy teaching cellular biology and botany, as those are my academic specialties. I love working with visual learners especially to help create diagrams and charts that can take information to a new level. Outside of the classroom, I like to hike and tend to my plants in my garden. Let me know if I can be of any service, either online or in a local coffee shop!

I am currently a fourth year medical student who is looking forward to helping other students enjoy math and science! I have a masters of science in physiology from Georgetown was well as a bachelors degree in anthropology with minors in medical Spanish and chemistry from UNC Chapel Hill. Having been in school for a very long time, I understand that everyone learns differently and at different paces. I will tailor my tutoring to best help you achieve the grades and changes that you would like to see.

As an EMT, Daiven regularly processes incident reports and medical documentation under pressure — scanning for the critical details while filtering out noise, which is the same core skill the ACT Reading section tests across all four passage types. He teaches students to anchor each passage around the author's main claim before approaching questions, so detail and inference items become quick evidence checks rather than frantic re-reads. His 32 ACT composite backs up a method built on real-world reading under time constraints.

I am currently a student at NC State University working towards a B.S. in physics with minors in computer science and mathematics. I'm looking to tutor in high school and college-level math courses, standardized test prep, and physics. I have some unofficial tutoring experience at the high school level. I'm excited to start tutoring because I really do enjoy helping people and watching them grow. I think it's super cool to see someone gain confidence in their abilities and improve. In fact, I'm thinking about trying to become a professor myself some day. My biggest goal is to make my students more passionate about learning by the time we are done, even if only a little bit!

I am extremely passionate about teaching and I am considering becoming a professor of Chemistry. Don't ever hesitate to ask me questions! I'll be more than happy to answer them!

I'm a current student at the University of Virginia, working and studying in Charlottesville during the school year and Charlotte during summer! I'm looking forward to tutoring you or your children! I'm a persistent, dedicated student who has experience working with those younger than me and I hope to share my academic knowledge and experiences. High school AP classes are my favorite subjects to tutor. In my free time, I enjoy sailing, hiking, practicing yoga, and spending time with my miniature dachshund.

After scoring a 35 ACT composite, Frances developed a systematic method for the Reading section that prioritizes passage mapping — identifying the author's purpose and argument structure before touching the questions. She's especially strong on the paired-passage format, where students often lose points by conflating the two authors' positions.

I am currently a student at Duke University studying Biomedical Engineering and Economics. Just a little bit about me and some of my interests. Some of my favorite academic interests include memoirs and modern classics. I think Catcher in the Rye is still one of my all time favorite books but Percy Jackson, a modern classic, is up there too. Beyond academics, I take great guilty pleasure in watching TV shows such as Westworld, Sherlock, How I Met Your Mother, and even The Bachelorette when I'm at a low point.

Most ACT Reading struggles come down to pacing: students understand the passages but can't get through four of them in 35 minutes. Sophia teaches a passage-ordering strategy — tackling your strongest subject area first — combined with targeted skimming that zeroes in on where the testable information actually lives. Her 35 composite and track record of 3+ point score improvements back up the approach.

I am a mathematics major at UNC Chapel Hill. Apart from learning, I enjoy teaching with a passion. I have tutored individuals of all age groups in various subjects, with my primary focus on mathematics courses for students in elementary through early college. I have engaged in both volunteering and paid opportunities. But at the end of the day, it is the sense of gratification that students experience after learning something new that makes me love teaching even more!

I am a sophomore at Duke University studying computer science and physics. Academically, I am drawn towards disciplines that employ logical problem-solving. I enjoy working with others to discover new intuitive ways of understanding problems.

I am a current senior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I am completing a degree in Health Policy and Management with minors in chemistry and biology. Currently, I am on the pre-medical track at UNC I am applying to medical schools for next year. I have worked as a tutor at the UNC Learning Center for two semesters and I have been a TA for anatomy and physiology for three semesters (two of those as lead TA).

I am a rising junior at Duke University. I hail from Cleveland, Ohio (Go Cavs!), and I'm currently studying medical sociology, with the intent of going to medical school.

Scoring a perfect 36 ACT composite while studying computer science at Duke means Florence is wired to process information systematically — and she applies that same logic to the Reading section, teaching students to map each passage's argument structure before answering a single question. Her experience as a teaching assistant across multiple technical disciplines built a habit of translating complex material into clear takeaways, which is exactly what the dual-passage and natural science questions reward.

I am a freshman at Vanderbilt University currently pursuing a B.S. in Biochemistry. My inquisitive nature has fostered a love for mathematics, the natural sciences, and how they interact to produce the world we experience every day. This extends to my teaching strategy, where I emphasize the importance of conceptual understanding rather than pure memorization of equations and steps. My recent experience in a wide variety of Advanced Placement courses lends me insight to recent changes in course objectives and exam formatting.

The ACT Reading section gives students just 8-9 minutes per passage, so knowing what to read closely versus what to skim is half the battle. Abir, who earned a 36 composite, teaches a passage-mapping technique that pinpoints where authors state main claims and shift tone — cutting down the frantic re-reading that eats up most students' time.

I am a freshman at Duke University in the Pratt School of Engineering. I plan on majoring in Civil or Environmental Engineering, as well as Economics. While I am qualified to tutor a range of subjects from math and science to ACT prep, I get the most excited when working on improving a student's writing because it is such a beautiful process. Sparking students' curiosity and excitement is the most rewarding part of tutoring, and I make it my mission to achieve that with all students I work with. In my free time, I am involved in a variety of groups on campus such as the triathlon club, FEMMES (a female-oriented STEM tutoring club), and The Chronicle, which is Duke's student newspaper. I also enjoy reading, running and baking all sorts of delicious delicacies.

I am an experienced tutor for STEM fields, writing/reading comprehension, as well as standardized test prep. My background is in mathematics and chemistry, but I also have done work in writing and journalism. I am available to tutor all ages through high school and will tailor my tutoring form to fit your specific needs and learning style. Please feel free to send me a message and hopefully we can work together to achieve your goals.

As a dedicated tutor who is currently a Political Science and Public Policy student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I am passionate about fostering a love for learning in my students. I specialize in ACT and SAT preparation, AP Literature and Language courses, and any other English or writing related subjects! My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive environment where students feel encouraged to express themselves and engage with the material. I strive to tailor my approach to each individual learner, ensuring that they not only grasp the concepts but also gain confidence in their abilities. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading literature and exploring new ideas, which I believe enriches my teaching and inspires my students.

I am so excited to get to work with you. I am a student at Duke University and love academia! My favorite parts about teaching are how much I get to learn, which I think is amazing, and getting to serve others through education.

I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and I am studying social studies with a focus on Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. I have lived my whole life until college in the incredible countries of Rwanda and Kenya (with one year in Egypt). Since education wasn't easily accessible to me through elementary school, very early on I had to learn how to love learning and teach myself. Even after many years of more formal education I haven't lost that spark and that ownership of my education yet! I love tutoring because it allows me to bring people into that same kind of ownership of their knowledge. I love tutoring all sorts of different subjects, but I have the most experience (and maybe the most love) for tutoring in calculus, French, Arabic, English as a second language, and test prep!

I am a senior at Virginia Commonwealth University. I am working towards a BFA in Dance and Choreography with minors in Political Science and Psychology. I have served as a TA for a freshman honors writing course at VCU since Fall 2018. I have also assisted and taught children's dance classes. I enjoy babysitting and helping my younger sister with her homework. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Math, Science, and Psychology. I am also happy to help students prepare for Standardized Tests, particularly with the math portions of the exams. I have always felt respect and admiration towards my teachers in both smaller and more grand situations who have shaped me into the lifelong learner that I am. As a tutor, my goal is to make good on this foundation and show students the same courtesy my teachers have shown me.

At Boston Latin, Lexy used Socratic questioning to teach students how to pull ideas out of texts they initially found opaque — the same skill that separates strong ACT Reading scores from mediocre ones, especially on prose fiction passages where the 'right' answer feels subjective until you learn to anchor it in specific lines. Her 34 ACT composite and English degree from Boston College mean she knows both the test's mechanics and how authors actually construct meaning through tone shifts and structural choices.

I am inclusive and accepting of students from all walks of life, regardless of identity (race, color, religion, gender, gender expression, age, national origin, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, military status, citizenship status, etc). Instruction is only available in Spanish, however.

I am a senior Public Policy major at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a minor in Southern Studies and History. I will be attending law school next fall. I tutor the LSAT, English, general essay writing and composition, American history, music theory, economics, statistics, and more. In my free time, I'm reading a book, playing the piano, or watching college basketball.

I am eager to tutor new students and help them learn the ins and outs of reading and writing!

I am currently a student at Cornell University. I've returned to my hometown of Holly Springs for the summer and am looking forward to working with students who went through the same experiences I did. My tutoring experiences began with my little sister and gradually expanded as I continued through high school. Now that I'm in college, I think I can offer great insight into how to achieve great test scores and everything else that may be useful for getting into college.

I am currently studying English literature and secondary education at Meredith College in Raleigh, North Carolina. I love Game of Thrones, Warhammer, and YouTube channels about world travel and languages. I am currently learning Spanish and Arabic, and I hope to be fluent in both someday. My biggest bucket list item is to travel to Bolivia and see the Salar de Uyuni. I have had extensive experience as a tutor of all ages, from helping kindergarteners learn to read and write English to working with adult students on their term papers for college. I am available to tutor reading, writing, basic Spanish, SAT/ACT prep, algebra, geometry, and study skills. As your tutor, my goal is to provide you with the tools to catch your own mistakes rather than just correcting them myself. I want to help you grow as a learner so you can use your own strengths to master the material.

I am currently a freshman at North Carolina State University pursuing a undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering. I enjoy tutoring students in Algebra, Precalculus, Calculus, and all levels of Chemistry. I have studied math through Differential Equations and chemistry through college level quantitative chemistry.

I am a soon-to-be law student who enjoys working with people, and would love to help you prepare for the LSAT!

I am familiar with learners of all shapes and sizes and can accomodate my style of teaching to best suit every student!

Passage types on ACT Reading — prose fiction, social science, humanities, natural science — each reward slightly different reading strategies, and Matthew teaches students to adjust their approach accordingly. His Emory background in both biology and anthropology means he's comfortable unpacking dense academic writing across disciplines, which translates directly to coaching students through the trickiest inference and main-idea questions.

Most math tutors wouldn't seem like an obvious fit for ACT Reading, but Taariq's Duke mathematics training built a habit of precise logical reasoning — distinguishing what's actually stated from what's merely suggested — that maps directly onto the inference and detail questions students struggle with most. He teaches a systematic elimination process where each answer choice gets checked against the passage for the specific logical flaw that rules it out. His 33 ACT composite and 4.9 student rating back up the approach.

I am an undergraduate engineering student at North Carolina University, I plan on double majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering. I love math; the logic and problem solving involved in the subject makes this my favorite subject to tutor. Similarly, I also enjoy physics because this subject is like a puzzle, and I enjoy breaking a problem down into its components. I tutor math up to Calculus 3 and Physics from High School Physics 1 and AP Physics to College level physics.

The ACT Reading section isn't testing whether students can read — it's testing whether they can locate specific evidence and draw inferences across four dense passages in 35 minutes. Amanda teaches a passage-mapping strategy that keeps students anchored in the text instead of second-guessing themselves on tricky answer choices.

I am a senior college student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, majoring in Philosophy with a minor in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics. I have experience working with elementary and middle school students, but am also prepared to tutor students at the high school level. I am proficient in writing, reading skills, composition, IB Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge tutoring, as well as philosophy and psychology. My favorite area of tutoring is, naturally, philosophy, given the analytical and logically focused virtue of that domain, though writing and reading skills are inherently tied to its practice, and I therefore also favor working with students in these areas. My main goal with students is to endow them with the skills necessary to excel in their chosen fields without the fears of lack of preparation or unfamiliarity with the given subject. I typically begin with a diagnostic overview of the students capabilities, and once their abilities have been assessed, continued with a targeted approach to augment their deficiencies and highlight their individual skills. Beyond academia, I love studying and playing Chess, Tennis, and Skiing, schedule permitting!

I am an enthusiastic and detail-oriented English and test prep tutor with a strong academic background in communications.
