Eric
BA Duke University
8+ Years Tutoring

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.

Current Undergrad Student, Civil Engineering Duke University

The ACT Science section barely tests science knowledge — it's really about reading graphs, interpreting data tables, and comparing experimental setups under tight time constraints. Natalie, who scored a 35 composite, treats each passage as a data-reading exercise and teaches students exactly where to look so they stop wasting time re-reading dense paragraphs.

The ACT Science section is really a test of how fast you can read graphs, interpret experimental setups, and spot conflicting viewpoints — not how much biology or chemistry you remember. Tanay treats it exactly that way, drilling students on data extraction and passage triage so they stop running out of time on the last two passages. His own 35 ACT composite shows he's mastered the pacing these questions demand.

BA Harvard University
6+ Years Tutoring

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!

Matthew

Treating the ACT Science section like a data-interpretation exercise rather than a science quiz is the fastest way to improve scores — most questions can be answered from graphs and tables alone without any outside knowledge. Matthew's biology and anthropology training at Emory gives him genuine fluency with experimental design and scientific reasoning, so when a question does require background knowledge, he can explain the underlying concept instead of just pointing to the right answer. His 33 composite reflects how well that dual approach works in practice.

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!
