Reading four dense passages in 35 minutes requires a method, not just speed. John breaks the ACT Reading section into a decision-making process: how to skim for structure, when to go back to the text versus trusting your first read, and how to eliminate answer choices that sound right but distort th...

Reading four dense passages in 35 minutes forces a different kind of reading than most students are used to. Sugi's cognitive science training at Rice gives her a framework for teaching active reading strategies — how to map an argument's structure on a first pass so that inference and tone question...

I am an undergraduate of the Johns Hopkins University, majoring in Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science. I have years of experience tutoring and teaching math and various sciences from an elementary to a college level. I primarily tutor college level courses such as physics and biochemistry, ...

The ACT Reading section gives students just 35 minutes for four dense passages, which means raw reading speed matters less than knowing where to look. Alyssa teaches a passage-mapping strategy that pinpoints main claims and key details before touching the questions — an approach refined from her own...

The ACT Reading section isn't really about reading — it's about efficiently locating evidence and eliminating wrong answers under tight time pressure. Eisha scored a perfect 36 ACT composite and teaches a strategic approach to paired passages and inference questions that cuts down on second-guessing...

I'm currently a freshman at Rice University studying applied math. I've always had a love for sharing knowledge with others, and I started tutoring when I was a junior in high school. As a former AP student and a National AP Scholar, I have the experience necessary to guide my students through chall...

Most ACT Reading mistakes happen not because students can't comprehend the passage but because they spend too long on it and rush the questions. Jiatian teaches a triage method: skim for structure first, then go back to the text with specific question stems in mind. It's the same prioritize-and-filt...

Miguel's dual degree in Computer Science and English means he's equally comfortable with logical structure and literary analysis — a combination that pays off on ACT Reading, where students need to parse both natural science arguments and prose fiction with the same precision under time pressure. He...

Between a neuroscience major and NCAA Division 1 athletics at Rice, Brett knows something about processing large amounts of information under time pressure — which is essentially the entire ACT Reading section in a nutshell. He teaches students to prioritize passage structure over passage content, z...

I am from Portland, Oregon and currently attend school in Dallas, Texas. I enjoy going outside and spending time with friends and family. I would love to help you study and get ahead or catch up in your classes!

I am a prematriculant student at the University of Chicago. In high school I took advanced STEM courses at the University of North Texas through a high school program called the Texas Academy of Math and Science. I love taking high level math courses, but I get even more excited when I can help frie...

Reading passages on the ACT aren't meant to be enjoyed — they're puzzles with predictable structures, and the answers are almost always sitting in the text rather than requiring interpretation. Adam's 35 ACT composite came partly from treating each passage as an evidence hunt, and he teaches student...

The ACT Reading section isn't about being a fast reader — it's about knowing what the questions actually ask and where to find the answers. Harsh teaches students to distinguish between "detail" and "inference" question types and to use passage structure to locate evidence quickly, a strategy that h...

I'm starting my junior year at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL. I'm currently getting my degree in biology with a concentration in health and human disease, global health, and a minor in French. I love reading, traveling, learning and helping others learn! I have experience tutoring high sch...

I am a rising sophomore at Rice University in Houston, Texas. I am majoring in Social Policy Analysis with minors in global health technologies and biochemistry and cell biology. I am passionate about refugee advocacy, global health, and women's education. I am also on the pre-med track and hope to ...
