Award-Winning ACT Reading Tutors
serving Kennewick, WA

Grant earned a 35 ACT composite by treating the Reading section as an exercise in efficient attention — knowing when to skim for structure and when to slow down for inference questions. He teaches students to map each passage type (prose fiction, social science, humanities, natural science) with a slightly different reading strategy, which shaves critical minutes off their timing.

Most ACT Reading mistakes come from spending too long on one passage or misreading what a question actually asks. Angela teaches a pacing strategy that allocates time by passage type — literary narrative, social science, humanities, natural science — and shows students how to locate evidence quickly without re-reading entire paragraphs. Her 33 ACT composite backs up an approach that's both systematic and adaptable to different reading speeds.

I am a professional scientist with multiple years of experience in the biopharmaceutical field. I have spent time in the classroom with elementary aged students and am comfortable with this age group. I am also familiar with AP classes and ACT/SAT preparation. I look forward to sharing my love of learning with students and helping them achieve academic goals!

Reading four dense passages in 35 minutes means students can't afford to read the way they do for school — Antonia teaches an active-reading method that prioritizes tracking the author's argument and tone over absorbing every detail. She's especially sharp on the paired-passage and social science sections, where students often lose points by confusing what the passage states with what it implies. Her dual background in law-focused coursework and English tutoring makes close, critical reading second nature.

A government major at Harvard, Richard spent his coursework doing exactly what the ACT Reading section rewards: rapidly digesting competing political arguments, identifying an author's central claim, and distinguishing stated evidence from implied conclusions — skills that map directly onto the social science and humanities passages. His perfect 36 ACT composite means he's navigated every passage type under real testing pressure and knows which time-management habits actually hold up when the clock is running.

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, but also have extensive experience in social sciences, biology, and higher mathematics such as Calculus and Differential Equations. I believe that demonstrating the various real-world applications of a given concept is the best method to increase a student's understanding.

I am available to tutor a range of middle school and high school subjects, but I am most excited about tutoring test prep. I remember how stressful preparing for college can be and I am eager to do my part in helping students fulfill their college goals. I believe that learning is a collaborative process and I am committed to being as actively involved in the student's learning as I can. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, going to the movies (I try to see each Oscar nominee before the ceremony every year.), and am a huge Michigan sports fan.

Scoring a 36 ACT composite means Vivian didn't just read the passages — she learned to dismantle them, distinguishing between what the author states explicitly and what's merely implied. Her approach to the Reading section zeroes in on how to handle the dual-passage comparisons and inference questions that trip up even strong readers. Rated 4.9 by students.

The ACT Reading section isn't really testing how well you read — it's testing how quickly you can locate specific evidence in passages you've never seen before. Sreya scored a 36 composite and developed a systematic approach to dual passages and inference questions that cuts through the time pressure. She teaches students to identify what each question is actually asking before they go back to the text.

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-filter approach she uses in medical training, applied to literary narratives and social science passages instead of clinical data.

I am a rising sophomore at Case Western Reserve University studying engineering. I have taken most high-school level standardized tests, and have scored consistently above the 95th percentile. I have tutored small groups of students throughout high school, and also have experience as a private tutor. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy playing Ultimate Frisbee with my college club team.

I am a patient, intellectual, and calm college student at the University of Michigan passionate about tutoring others to improve their proficiency in a wide variety of subjects. I teach students by creating individualized plans that cater to the strengths and weaknesses of the student. I work hard and as long as it takes to ensure that the student derives maximum benefit. I love teaching a wide variety of subjects, and have a speciality in standardized tests.

Most ACT Reading mistakes come from time pressure, not comprehension — students understand passages but can't consistently answer 40 questions in 35 minutes. Elliot teaches a triage strategy: how to identify question types, when to skim versus close-read, and how to eliminate answer choices that paraphrase the passage just enough to seem right. Rated 5.0 by students.

After scoring a perfect 36 ACT composite, Anna developed a question-first approach to the Reading section — previewing what each question demands before touching the passage, so every line read serves a purpose. Her medical education background means she's used to processing dense, unfamiliar material quickly and extracting exactly what matters, a skill that translates directly to the natural science and social science passages. Rated 5.0 by students.

Most ACT Reading mistakes come not from misunderstanding the passage but from misreading the question — confusing "the author suggests" with "the passage states" or missing a keyword like "except." Dennis, who earned a perfect 36 composite, teaches a passage-mapping strategy that cuts re-reading time and makes evidence-based answer elimination systematic rather than instinctive.

I am available to tutor in a broad range of subjects, though I am most passionate about Economics, History, and Civics. Please feel free to contact me and I would be happy to arrange a session.
