The ACT Reading section gives students just 35 minutes for four dense passages — a pace that rewards strategy as much as comprehension. Kerr teaches a passage-mapping technique that isolates each paragraph's purpose so students can answer detail and inference questions without rereading entire secti...

Most ACT Reading mistakes happen not because students misunderstand the passage but because they misread what the question is actually asking — "main idea" vs. "the author suggests" require completely different retrieval strategies. Eileen, a Vanderbilt neuroscience major who scored a 36 composite, ...

I am an Undergraduate Student at Vanderbilt University. With years of tutoring experience and a solid academic foundation, I am fully equipped to teach in various subjects at many different levels.

I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best descr...

The ACT Reading section rewards a specific kind of speed — knowing when to skim for structure and when to slow down for inference questions. Michelle scored a 36 composite and teaches students to identify question types quickly so they can allocate their time where it actually matters across the pro...

Before arriving at Vanderbilt's engineering program, Nat spent a summer teaching SSAT prep and reading classes to middle schoolers through Higher Achievement in D.C. — experience that built a practical sense for how younger and less confident readers approach timed comprehension tasks. With a 35 ACT...

I am a freshman at Vanderbilt University studying biochemistry and involved in analytical chemistry research. Despite my studies being very science oriented, I also enjoy studying English and the humanities. I'd be happy to tutor you in any of these areas!

I am a student at the University of Denver! I've tutored people informally for a few years now, and I'm excited to work with Varsity. I can help with math up to pre-calculus, grammar, and especially biology. Science was my favorite subject in school!

Speed is the real enemy on ACT Reading — four passages in 35 minutes leaves almost no room for re-reading. Dennis, who scored a 34 ACT composite, teaches a triage approach: how to identify passage structure quickly, distinguish main claims from supporting details, and eliminate answer choices that s...

After earning a 32 on the ACT, Alexander developed a passage-mapping technique for the Reading section that cuts down on the back-and-forth between questions and text. He's especially sharp on the social science and humanities passages, where his history background at Vanderbilt gives him a natural ...

I am today, and is something I love to share with the students I teach.

I'm not striving towards that lofty goal, I'm trying to relax by doing yoga, reading novels, and eating lots of cupcakes.

I am a rising sophomore at the University of Alabama and I am majoring in Mechanical Engineering. I have been working with fellow students ever since kindergarten with questions they had on the subject matter the teacher was going over or on concepts from other classes I had previously taken. I pers...

Most ACT Reading mistakes happen not because students misunderstand the passage but because they fall for answer choices that are almost right. Miah's approach, refined through her own 34-composite performance, trains students to eliminate distractors by pinpointing exactly where in the text each an...
