Pursuing both electrical engineering and premed at Columbia means Zhenrui doesn't have blind spots on the ACT — the math and science sections tap into his daily coursework, while the premed writing load and his 1570 SAT keep his English and Reading strategies just as precise. He earned a perfect 36 composite and uses that across-the-board fluency to diagnose exactly which question types are costing a student points, then drill the timing and technique needed to close those gaps.

Having taken AP Calculus BC, AP Physics C, and AP Chemistry while also studying French and honing her writing at Vanderbilt, Jackie covers all four ACT sections without faking fluency in any of them — her 35 composite reflects genuine comfort across the board. She's especially effective at showing students how the Math section's later questions aren't harder content so much as familiar concepts wrapped in trickier setups, a distinction that unlocks points fast. Rated 5.0 by students.

A chemistry degree means Ziyu can actually read ACT Science passages for what they are — experimental designs with data to extract — rather than teaching students to fake their way through graphs they don't understand. That same STEM foundation carries into the Math section, and his 35 composite shows he's no slouch on English and Reading either. He builds section-specific timing habits so students stop running out of clock on the passages that matter most.

Theater training at NYU's Tisch School might seem unrelated to the ACT, but Michael's drama background sharpened exactly the close-reading and rhetorical analysis skills that drive the English and Reading sections — and his 35 composite proves the math and science chops are just as real. He approaches prep by teaching students to read ACT passages the way an actor breaks down a script: hunting for intent, structure, and the specific details the questions are actually testing.

Scoring a 34 composite on the ACT means Raquel performed at a high level across all four sections — Math, Science, English, and Reading — which lets her pinpoint exactly where a student is losing points and why. Her background spans both STEM and humanities, so she's equally comfortable breaking down data interpretation passages in Science as she is tackling rhetorical strategy questions in English. She builds section-specific pacing strategies so students stop running out of time on the sections that trip them up most.

A journalism major at NYU who scored a 1600 SAT and 35 ACT, Sarah attacks the test from a writer's perspective — she teaches students to read English and Reading passages the way an editor would, spotting structural cues and rhetorical moves that point straight to correct answers.

He earned a 33 composite and uses that cross-subject fluency to build section-specific plans, especially for students who plateau because they're strong in one area but hemorrhaging points in another.

A biology degree means the ACT Science section is Nicholas's home turf, but his breadth across chemistry, physics, literature, and writing means he genuinely covers all four sections without faking it on any of them. He earned a 33 composite and leans into connecting the dots between sections — showing students how the close-reading skills that unlock tricky English questions also speed up Science passage interpretation.

A linguistics background turns out to be surprisingly useful ACT prep — Ashley's training in syntax and language structure means she can explain exactly why the English section's grammar traps work the way they do, and that same analytical lens sharpens her approach to the Reading section's evidence-based questions. She scored a 33 composite and covers all four sections, drawing on her experience as a certified ESL instructor to make the test's language accessible to students at every proficiency level.

Theatre training at SMU might seem unrelated to the ACT, but Nina's performance background means she's drilled in close reading, argument structure, and thinking on her feet under pressure — skills that map directly onto the English and Reading sections. She scored a 33 composite and leans on her French and literature expertise to unpack the rhetorical and passage-based questions that trip up students who only prep with practice tests.

Tito's breadth across chemistry, physics, biology, and college-level English means he doesn't have to fake fluency in any ACT section — he's genuinely comfortable with the content behind all four, from trigonometry identities in Math to experimental design logic in Science. He earned a 34 composite and builds prep around each student's weakest question types rather than generic section reviews. Rated 4.8 by students.

Gabriel's voracious reading habit — science fiction, fantasy, anything he can get his hands on — turns out to be a genuine advantage on the ACT, where the Reading and English sections reward students who process text quickly and instinctively spot how arguments are structured. His 34 composite and deep comfort with both STEM and humanities content mean he doesn't hand off weak sections or lean on tricks; he teaches the actual reasoning behind each question type. Rated 5.0 by students.

Scoring a 32 composite on the ACT gave Katrina a clear map of how the test works across all four sections — from the grammar rules that repeat on English to the time-pressure strategies that make or break Science and Reading. Her Yale background in writing-intensive coursework means she's especially sharp on the rhetorical skills questions and the optional essay, where most students leave easy points on the table. Rated by students who've seen real score jumps, she breaks each section into predictable patterns rather than overwhelming content review.

Studying physics-engineering means Valerie spends her days toggling between heavy math, scientific reasoning, and technical writing — a combination that maps neatly onto all four ACT sections without the gaps that come from specializing in just one discipline. She scored a 32 composite and uses her tutoring background in algebra, AP Physics, and English grammar to build section-specific drills rather than generic test advice, zeroing in on the particular question types each student keeps getting wrong.

Ten years teaching college courses across art history, web design, philosophy, and math means Luke doesn't fake breadth on the ACT — he's genuinely taught the kind of content that shows up in every section, from rhetorical analysis in English to data-heavy reasoning in Science. His 32 composite and artist's eye for detail translate into a prep style built around close reading and careful elimination, especially on the tricky middle-difficulty questions where most students give away points.

An MFA in Creative Writing and a BA in English make Patrick unusually strong on the verbal side of the ACT — he knows how the English and Reading sections test rhetorical choices, grammar patterns, and passage structure because he's spent years teaching those exact skills in writing and literature courses. His 32 composite and experience prepping students across the SAT, GRE, and ACT mean the Math and Science sections aren't blind spots either; he teaches students to decode Science passages as close-reading exercises rather than content recall. Rated 5.0 by students.

A strong reader and writer by training — Michael majored in Chinese and Communications — he brings particular strength to the English and Reading sections of the ACT, where quick passage analysis and grammar instincts make the biggest score differences. He scored a 32 composite and knows how to break down the Science section's data interpretation questions as a reading exercise rather than a content test. His approach zeroes in on pacing and process of elimination, two skills that tend to unlock the most points in the shortest time.

Being in an accelerated medical program at RPI means Ishan juggles biology, math, and dense analytical writing every semester — which maps neatly onto the ACT's full spread of sections rather than just one or two.
