Ethan
BA Harvard University
1+ Years Tutoring

Environmental science and public policy trained Ethan to read dense data sets and build evidence-based arguments — two skills that map directly onto the ACT's Science and Reading sections, where students often lose time second-guessing their interpretations. His 36 composite means he's maxed out every section of the test, and he uses that full-spectrum fluency to zero in on whichever section is actually dragging a student's score down. Rated 5.0 by students.

Tessa
Current Undergrad, Mathematics and History Yale University
10+ Years Tutoring

Tessa's double major in mathematics and history at Yale means she doesn't just cover the quantitative sections — she brings the same analytical rigor to Reading and English, where dissecting an author's argument isn't so different from parsing a proof. Her perfect 36 composite came from treating each section as its own discipline with distinct reasoning demands, and that's exactly how she structures prep: diagnosing which section-specific habits are costing points, then rebuilding those habits one at a time. Rated 4.9 by students.

Susan
MED The New School for Social Research • MED Oberlin College
9+ Years Tutoring

I love participating in learning with other people. This is why I have been a high school teacher for 20 years and why I am a tutor now. One of my major skills as a tutor is breaking down skills and concepts into small parts to identify exactly where someone is struggling. I can do this with organization and learning needs, too, not just math and English content. I am also versatile and flexible; I can work on all sorts of content and handle unknown problems. I can teach you how to do that, too. I also have a great deal of experience working with students with special needs. I have been trained in some workshops, but I have only experience, not a license, in this area.

Jill scored a 32 on the ACT and tutors every section — English, Reading, Writing, Math, and Science — which means students get one tutor who can address the full test instead of piecing together separate help. Her writing and rhetoric background is especially useful for the English and Reading sections, where recognizing argument structure and rhetorical purpose separates good scores from great ones. She also breaks down the Science section's graph-heavy passages into a reading exercise, teaching students to find answers in the data rather than relying on outside knowledge.
