Grant
Certified ACT Tutor
Grant
BA University of Oklahoma Norman Campus
9+ Years Tutoring

Grant's English degree makes him a natural fit for the ACT's Reading and English sections, where rhetorical analysis and grammar rules decide most questions — but his 35 composite proves he's just as dangerous on Math and Science. He teaches across all four sections plus Writing, building section-specific strategies around each student's score breakdown rather than running a one-size-fits-all prep plan. Rated 5.0 by students.

Angela
Current Undergrad, Environmental Science Northeastern University
1+ Years Tutoring

Substitute teaching across K-12 classrooms gave Angela a clear picture of how different learners freeze up under timed pressure — something she applies directly to ACT prep, where she earned a 33 composite. Her environmental science coursework keeps the Math and Science sections grounded in real problem-solving, while her strength in writing and essay editing translates to targeted English and Reading strategies that go beyond memorizing comma rules. Rated 5.0 by students.

Antonia
BA University of Washington
1+ Years Tutoring

Preparing for the ACT means juggling four sections with very different pacing demands — English gives you 36 seconds per question while Science gives you roughly 53. Antonia builds section-specific timing strategies and teaches students which question types to attack first and which to flag and revisit. She tutors every subject the ACT covers, from math and science to reading and English, so she can diagnose weak spots across the entire exam and target them efficiently.

Asta
BA University of Chicago
1+ Years Tutoring

Having tutored students in Hong Kong preparing for U.S. college admissions, Asta knows how the ACT fits into the bigger picture — and that knowledge shapes how she prioritizes section-by-section prep based on each student's target schools. Her 35 composite and University of Chicago political science training make her especially effective on the Reading and English sections, where she teaches students to dissect passage arguments quickly instead of re-reading. Rated 5.0 by students.

Sugi
BA Rice University • Doctor of Medicine, Ophthalmic Technology Baylor College of Medicine
5+ Years Tutoring

Medical school admissions committees at both Rice and Baylor trusted Sugi to evaluate candidates — that same ability to spot exactly where someone's reasoning breaks down is what she brings to ACT prep, section by section. Her 36 composite and dual background in cognitive science and biochemistry mean there's no weak link across Math, Science, English, or Reading; she knows the content cold and teaches the decision-making layer on top of it. Rated 5.0 by students.

William
BA Boston University
14+ Years Tutoring

A 34 ACT composite paired with a perfect 1600 SAT means William knows standardized testing inside and out — the pacing traps, the answer-choice patterns, and the specific reading and grammar concepts that repeat across sections. His English degree gives him a particular edge on the English and Reading portions, where he teaches students to identify rhetorical strategies and eliminate distractors quickly rather than second-guessing themselves. He also brings structured approaches to the Math and Science sections that keep non-STEM students from losing points they shouldn't.

Arthur
BA Middlebury College
5+ Years Tutoring

A perfect 36 ACT composite means Arthur has mastered every section of the exam, but what sets him apart is his background in economics — he brings a data-driven, strategic mindset to pacing, question triage, and score maximization across English, Math, Reading, and Science. He's especially sharp on the Science section's data interpretation passages and the Reading section's social science and humanities pairings, where knowing how to extract arguments quickly makes all the difference.

Computational biology PhD applicant by day, Max approaches the ACT the way he approaches research — systematically isolating variables to figure out exactly what's going wrong. His 36 composite means he's maxed out every section, and his biology-plus-quantitative background lets him teach Science and Math from genuine understanding while his co-authored publication work keeps his Reading and English strategies rooted in real analytical writing.

9+ Years Tutoring

Elizabeth scored a 34 ACT composite while balancing a full course load in aviation and management — a background that trained her to think systematically under pressure, which is exactly what the ACT rewards. As a Chicago Public Schools math teacher, she knows the specific content gaps that cost students points on the Math and Science sections and builds targeted strategies around them. Rated 5.0 by students, she's especially effective at turning test anxiety into structured confidence.

Emily
BA Indiana University-Bloomington • Doctor of Medicine, Community Health and Preventive Medicine Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis
8+ Years Tutoring

Medical school trained Emily to absorb massive amounts of information under pressure and then perform — which is essentially what the ACT demands across all four sections in under three hours. Her 35 composite, biology and Spanish double major, plus math and chemistry minors mean she genuinely knows the content behind every section rather than relying on test-day tricks alone.

Benjamin
BA University of Notre Dame
5+ Years Tutoring

Notre Dame trained Benjamin in finance and economics, but his 36 ACT composite — a perfect score — is what matters here: he knows every section cold and teaches the specific computation shortcuts and pattern-recognition tricks that turn near-misses into correct answers under time pressure. His math and science instincts are obvious, but his breadth across writing, literature, and essay editing means the English and Reading sections get the same depth of attention. Rated 5.0 by students.

David
BA University of Minnesota-Twin Cities
6+ Years Tutoring

David's computer science training shows up most clearly in how he teaches the ACT — he treats each section as a system to debug, isolating exactly where a student's process breaks down rather than reteaching content they already know. His perfect 36 composite means he's pressure-tested every section himself, and his CS instinct for logical structure is especially useful on Science and Math, where students often have the knowledge but lose points to disorganized problem-solving.

Aleeza

7+ Years Tutoring

Having earned a perfect 36 composite, Aleeza knows exactly how each ACT section works — but her pre-med biology background makes her especially sharp on the Science section, where she teaches students to treat dense data passages as reading exercises rather than content quizzes. She also draws on her MCAT prep experience to coach the kind of disciplined pacing and process-of-elimination thinking that transfers across Math, English, and Reading. Rated 4.9 by students.
