Award-Winning ACT Reading Tutors
serving Colorado Springs, CO

I am a current student at the Colorado School of Mines, studying to double major in Applied Mathematics and Engineering Physics. I have been tutoring students professionally for one year, but also through my schools for 5 years now. I tutor most kinds of Math and Science, and love doing so; being able to help spread understanding of a difficult concept never fails to bring me joy. As a current student, I understand how lecturing is often not the most effective (or interesting) way to learn, so I like to be very interactive and ask a lot of questions in my teaching, almost like a conversation between the student and myself.

I am a student at the Georgia Institute of Technology studying Chemical Engineering. For the past several years, I have worked with students extensively. Through hosting events for younger kids to learn about STEM and for older teens to practice empathetic design, I know the importance of teaching students in ways that engage them rather than frustrate them, which I apply to my teaching. I have tutored high school students in a drop-in resource center in various subjects including math of all levels, chemistry, and English, making me adequately equipped in a variety of topics. I have also tutored several students long-term. Establishing relationships with students and exploring their unique learning styles is my favorite part of tutoring. I prioritize helping students discover HOW to learn in a manner that is the most effective for them, so they can begin to use those skills on their own throughout their education. Learning is a lifelong skill that requires practice for improvement; I strive to help my students gain confidence in their ability to learn.

I am a neuroscience and psychology double major from CU Boulder working to go to PA school down the road. I am originally from the East coast, but definitely prefer the hiking here. I was a learning assistant (basically student focused teacher aid) at CU, and took a course to learn more effective pedagogy. Afterwards, I was asked to be a mentor, and continued trying to help as much as I can.

The ACT Reading section rewards speed and strategy more than deep literary analysis — it's about locating evidence quickly and eliminating wrong answers with confidence. Christian scored a 34 composite and teaches students a systematic passage-attack method that prioritizes time management across the four passage types. Rated 5.0 by students, he breaks down how to handle the dual-passage comparison questions that trip up most test-takers.

The ACT Reading section rewards a specific kind of speed — not skimming, but knowing exactly what to extract from each passage type. Oliver, who scored a 33 composite, teaches students to attack the paired-passage and prose fiction sections with targeted annotation strategies that cut re-reading time in half.

I am a lifelong learner, and I would love to be your next tutor!

The ACT Reading section rewards a specific kind of speed — not skimming, but knowing where to look and how to eliminate answer choices that sound right but aren't supported by the passage. Graham, an avid reader studying astrophysics and chemistry at CU Boulder, breaks down each passage type (prose fiction, social science, humanities, natural science) so students know what to expect before the clock starts. His 33 ACT composite backs up the approach.

I am an incoming first year medical student at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Aurora, Colorado. I graduated from the University of Virginia with a BS in Biomedical Engineering. Through the course of my undergraduate career, I served as a teaching assistant for Cell & Molecular Biology and both undergraduate and graduate versions of Introduction to MATLAB. I also have experience volunteering as a tutor from elementary to high school levels. In addition to teaching, I have personal experience with the ACT, SAT, AP, IB, and MCAT exams. I would like to now use my teaching experience to help local students in the subjects I encountered during my undergraduate career. I love teaching and work to make learning as easy as possible by employing games, shortcuts, and gradual build-up so that my students can improve to their desired performance levels.

Speed is the real enemy on ACT Reading: four passages, forty questions, thirty-five minutes. Rohith teaches a deliberate approach to each passage type — prose fiction, social science, humanities, natural science — showing students how to locate evidence quickly and eliminate answer choices without second-guessing themselves.

I am a undergraduate student who is willing to help other students in subjects that they may be experiencing difficulties in.

The ACT Reading section isn't really about reading — it's about efficiently locating evidence across four dense passages in 35 minutes. Austin teaches a strategic approach to passage ordering and question triage that keeps students from burning time on the hardest literary narrative while leaving easy social science points on the table. His 33 ACT composite and 5.0 tutoring rating speak to how well this method translates to real score gains.

Most students treat ACT Reading like a comprehension quiz, but it's really a speed-and-evidence game — four passages, forty questions, thirty-five minutes. Paige, who scored a 32 composite and reads analytically by training as a philosophy major, teaches students to locate textual evidence fast and eliminate answer choices that sound right but aren't supported. Her 5.0 rating speaks to how well that approach clicks with students.

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, walks students through a passage-mapping technique that cuts rereading time dramatically and keeps evidence-based answers distinct from inference questions.

Scoring a 36 ACT composite means Emily has beaten every passage type the Reading section throws at students — prose fiction, social science, humanities, natural science — under real time pressure. Her computational biology training at Cornell, which requires constant toggling between dense scientific papers and code documentation, built a habit of extracting exactly what a text claims without getting pulled into irrelevant detail. She teaches students to pre-map each passage's argument in under two minutes, so question time is spent confirming answers rather than hunting for them.

I am a 2023 graduate of the University of Notre Dame with a Finance/Economics major and a minor in Innovation and Entrepreneurship. I am a passionate student in the math and business realms, as I enjoy the intuitiveness of the former and the real-world potential of the latter. During classes in middle and high school, I developed a reputation of being a good source of help within my classes in a non-tutor capacity, and grew that into a peer tutor role a couple times a week during lunch my senior year of high school. What I hope to accomplish with my tutoring is ensure that you not only achieve your desired grade/score, but see how the different concepts relate to each other in the bigger picture. The more important part is to critically think about the subject matter in other, more unfamiliar contexts. Also, in my math subjects, I seek to provide personal secrets in realms including quicker computation strategies, unique acronyms for certain rules, and other intuitive shortcuts.

Having studied political science at the University of Chicago — where the Core Curriculum demands rapid synthesis of dense, argument-heavy readings across disciplines — Asta built the exact close-reading stamina the ACT Reading section punishes students for lacking. She teaches students to identify an author's central claim and track how supporting evidence is layered through each paragraph, which turns detail and inference questions into targeted lookups rather than full re-reads. Her 35 ACT composite and 5.0 student rating speak for themselves.

Scoring a perfect 36 ACT composite means Rhea knows exactly how the Reading section tries to trip students up — especially on dual-passage comparisons and inference questions where two answer choices look nearly identical. Her biology coursework at UChicago requires constant close reading of research papers, so she teaches students to isolate an author's central claim and use it as an anchor when eliminating distractor answers that subtly shift scope or tone. Rated 4.8 by students.

I am a Yale graduate with over 8 years experience tutoring students from a variety of backgrounds. I recently graduated from the Yale School of Public Health with a MPH concentrating in Epidemiology and Global Health. I also received my B.S. from Yale with a double major in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and French. I have experience both leading group classes and working with students one on one. I will respond to a student's strengths, weaknesses, and learning style in order to help them succeed and make the most of our time together. I earned a perfect score of 36 on the ACT, 2280 on the SAT, and qualified as a National Merit Scholar on the PSAT. I look forward to working with you!

I'm a sophomore at Vanderbilt University, majoring in Physics and Classics and minoring in Mathematics and Computer Science. I'm qualified to teach a wide variety of subjects, but prefer to focus on the fields I'm studying in school listed above; I have a passion for those areas that I want to share with everyone, no matter the education level or confidence. I believe that no one is "bad at math," but many people haven't been taught math and science concepts in a way that matches how they best learn. As a result, I try to tailor my teaching style to be the best it can be for each individual student. With regard to math and physics, I myself prefer a physical, graphical understanding of different concepts, so I do best at explaining what seemingly abstract concepts actually mean in the real world and how they act on a graph.

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.

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 passionate about helping students with math, science, test prep, and more! As sophomore undergraduate at Brown University studying Mathematics and Biophysics, I am well experienced with many topics. I received a perfect 36 on my ACT, so I am very confident with test taking.

The ACT Reading section isn't really about reading — it's about quickly locating evidence and matching it to answer choices under a brutal time constraint. Nicholas, who earned a perfect 36 composite, teaches a systematic passage-attack strategy that prioritizes where to look over how fast to read, cutting down the guesswork that costs students points in the final minutes.

Scoring a perfect 36 ACT composite means Max has firsthand experience with the Reading section's tightest time pressure — 35 minutes across four passages with no room for re-reading. His biology research background, which involves digesting dense ecological studies and isolating specific claims from surrounding data, trained him to do exactly what the natural science and social science passages demand: separate what the author actually states from what the surrounding context merely suggests. Rated 5.0 by students.
