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 ...

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 po...

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.

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 informatio...

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...

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 ...

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 importa...

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.

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 r...

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 experi...

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 wri...

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 ...

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 thro...

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 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 fi...
