I am currently a student at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill pursuing a degree in Computer Science. I not only am incredibly passionate about programming and computer science, but about math and learning in general. I have experience teaching people young and old about computers and the way the work in depth. I love meeting new people and finding out the way they think so I can better serve them as a teacher.

I am a graduate of the University of California - Berkeley where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Data Science. Throughout college, I have volunteered with numerous education equity organizations dedicated to helping children from challenging socioeconomic backgrounds thrive in school; taught Reading to students K-8, taught for a summer enrichment program , and worked as a group tutor for data science at university. Whether it is working with younger students build their foundations or helping older students advance in core subjects, I have a passion for education and making learning as fun and accessible as possible! Outside of tutoring, I work as an economic researcher in the public sector and volunteer at environmental oriented non-profits.
Most of ACT Science has surprisingly little to do with science knowledge — it's about reading graphs, interpreting data tables, and tracking conflicting viewpoints under time pressure. Ify treats it as a data literacy exercise, teaching students to pull the right information from figures before even looking at the answer choices. Her own 32 ACT composite came from exactly this kind of systematic, question-by-question strategy.
As a biology major at Guilford College, Madison actually knows the science behind the ACT Science passages — but she teaches students that the real skill is ignoring most of it and reading the data instead. Her approach leans on the visual: quickly sketching out what a graph is showing, identifying the trend, and matching it to the question before the timer becomes a problem. Her 34 ACT composite and 5.0 rating back up a method that clicks especially well for students who think in pictures.
I am currently a fourth year medical student who is looking forward to helping other students enjoy math and science! I have a masters of science in physiology from Georgetown was well as a bachelors degree in anthropology with minors in medical Spanish and chemistry from UNC Chapel Hill. Having been in school for a very long time, I understand that everyone learns differently and at different paces. I will tailor my tutoring to best help you achieve the grades and changes that you would like to see.
The ACT Science section is really a data-interpretation exam disguised as biology, chemistry, and physics. Daiven's biology training at Wofford means he can quickly contextualize the actual science when it matters, but his main focus is teaching students to read graphs, compare experimental setups, and identify trends without getting bogged down in background knowledge. He scored a 32 composite on the ACT.
The ACT Science section is really a data interpretation test disguised as science — most questions hinge on reading graphs, comparing experimental setups, and spotting trends in tables rather than recalling biology or chemistry facts. Gatlin scored a 32 ACT composite and, as a physics major at NC State, spends his days pulling meaning from complex data sets. He teaches students to isolate variables and read figures quickly, which is exactly what this section rewards.
The ACT Science section is really a test of how fast you can read graphs, compare experimental setups, and spot conflicting hypotheses — and Srikavya's chemistry training makes data interpretation second nature. With a 32 ACT composite and daily experience analyzing lab results, she breaks each passage type into a repeatable strategy that cuts through the section's intentional information overload.
I'm a current student at the University of Virginia, working and studying in Charlottesville during the school year and Charlotte during summer! I'm looking forward to tutoring you or your children! I'm a persistent, dedicated student who has experience working with those younger than me and I hope to share my academic knowledge and experiences. High school AP classes are my favorite subjects to tutor. In my free time, I enjoy sailing, hiking, practicing yoga, and spending time with my miniature dachshund.
I am currently a student at Duke University studying Biomedical Engineering and Economics. Just a little bit about me and some of my interests. Some of my favorite academic interests include memoirs and modern classics. I think Catcher in the Rye is still one of my all time favorite books but Percy Jackson, a modern classic, is up there too. Beyond academics, I take great guilty pleasure in watching TV shows such as Westworld, Sherlock, How I Met Your Mother, and even The Bachelorette when I'm at a low point.
I am a recent magna cum laude graduate of Duke University and a full-time educator in North Carolina. I have a passion for helping young people figure things out and have experience writing professionally.
I am a current senior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I am completing a degree in Health Policy and Management with minors in chemistry and biology. Currently, I am on the pre-medical track at UNC I am applying to medical schools for next year. I have worked as a tutor at the UNC Learning Center for two semesters and I have been a TA for anatomy and physiology for three semesters (two of those as lead TA).

Frequently Asked Questions
The ACT Science section gives you 40 minutes to answer 40 questions across 6-7 passages, which means you need to work quickly without sacrificing accuracy. Many students struggle with pacing because they spend too much time reading the passage before tackling questions—a more effective strategy is to skim the passage, then refer back to it as needed when answering. Personalized tutoring can help you develop a timing strategy that matches your natural reading speed and builds confidence under pressure.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you practice, but most students see meaningful gains within 4-8 weeks of focused preparation. If you're scoring in the 18-22 range, improvements of 3-5 points are common; higher-scoring students (26+) typically see 1-2 point gains as the ceiling gets tighter. The key is identifying your specific weak areas—whether that's data interpretation, conflicting viewpoints passages, or time management—and targeting those through deliberate practice and expert feedback.
Start by taking a full practice test under timed conditions, then review which question types and passage styles gave you the most trouble. ACT Science tests three main areas: data representation (charts and graphs), research summaries (experimental design), and conflicting viewpoints (comparing scientific perspectives). Many students find one or two of these formats significantly harder than others, and that's where targeted practice pays off. Tutors can analyze your practice test results to pinpoint exactly where you're losing points and create a study plan that addresses those gaps.
ACT Science is primarily about reading and reasoning with scientific data rather than memorizing science facts—you don't need to know advanced physics or chemistry to score well. The test evaluates your ability to interpret graphs, understand experimental methods, compare scientific arguments, and draw conclusions from data. This is actually good news because it means you can improve significantly through practice and strategy, regardless of your science background.
If you're starting 8-12 weeks before your test date, aim for 2-3 focused practice sessions per week, with each session including full timed passages or a complete practice section. In the final 2-3 weeks, increase to 3-4 sessions weekly and take full practice tests to simulate test-day conditions. For students in Charlotte with busy school schedules, personalized tutoring sessions can be structured around your availability while keeping your prep on track and preventing burnout.
Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or rushed, so building confidence through repeated practice with timed passages is your best defense. Develop a pre-test routine (deep breathing, positive self-talk) and practice it during study sessions so it feels natural on test day. Working with a tutor gives you a chance to practice under pressure in a supportive environment, identify which situations trigger anxiety, and develop personalized coping strategies that work for you.
Conflicting Viewpoints passages require you to understand multiple scientific perspectives and compare their strengths and weaknesses—a skill that's different from the data interpretation you do in other ACT Science sections. Students often struggle because they need to hold multiple viewpoints in mind simultaneously and evaluate the reasoning behind each one, not just extract data from graphs. Targeted practice with this passage type, combined with strategies for organizing competing ideas, can turn this section from your weakest area into a strength.
Your first session typically starts with a diagnostic practice test or review of your recent scores to identify your specific strengths and gaps. The tutor will explore which passage types and question formats challenge you most, discuss your test date and score goals, and explain a personalized study plan tailored to your needs. This foundation ensures that every future session focuses on what matters most for your score improvement.
