Studying computer science and physics at Duke means Bryce thinks in systems — and the ACT is a system with predictable rules once you know where to look. He scored a 35 composite and teaches students to treat the Math section's later questions as logic puzzles rather than computation, while applying the same structured reasoning to crack the Science section's dense graph-reading passages. His coverage extends to English and Reading, where his college essay and literature background keeps strategies grounded in actual reading skills.

Most students plateau on the ACT not because they can't do the work, but because they haven't learned to read each section on its own terms — the Science section rewards skimming for data, while English recycles the same handful of grammar rules in slightly different disguises. Parth's math and chemistry background covers the quantitative side cold, and his journalism and writing experience means he's equally comfortable drilling the rhetorical and reading comprehension skills that round out all four sections. He scored a 34 composite and holds a 5.0 rating.

Having served as a TA for a freshman honors writing course, Alisha brings real classroom instincts to the ACT's English and Reading sections — she knows how students misread rhetoric questions and where comma-rule traps hide. Her 34 composite and strong math and science background mean she's equally comfortable drilling the quantitative sections, building section-specific strategies around wherever a student's composite is getting dragged down.

Studying English literature and secondary education gives Rachel a natural advantage on the ACT's English and Reading sections, where she teaches students to spot the grammar patterns and rhetorical structure questions that repeat test after test. Her 34 composite means she's equally sharp on the Math and Science sides, and her education training translates into clear, patient explanations of pacing strategy — especially for students who know the content but keep running out of time.

Most ACT prep treats every section the same way, but Artem's electrical and computer engineering training means he approaches the Math and Science sections like an engineer — isolating variables, reading graphs as data rather than decoration, and working backward from answer choices when the clock is tight. That analytical wiring extends to English and Reading, where he teaches students to treat grammar questions as logic puzzles with predictable rules. He scored a 34 composite and holds a 5.0 rating from students.

UNC Chapel Hill's broad liberal arts curriculum means Jeffrey is actively immersed in the reading, writing, and quantitative reasoning the ACT tests across all four sections — not just coaching from memory. He scored a 33 composite and uses his experience tutoring everything from pre-algebra to essay editing to zero in on the specific question types where each student is losing the most time.

A psychology degree from Duke — magna cum laude — means Frances reads the ACT's Reading and English sections through the lens of argument structure and rhetorical intent, not just grammar rules and vocab. Her 35 composite and experience across writing, science, and math tutoring let her build section-by-section plans that address the specific question types each student struggles with most.

Duke's biomedical engineering program keeps Eric sharp on the Math and Science sections, but it's his breadth — economics, Mandarin, literature, college essays — that lets him coach Reading and English without faking it. He earned a perfect 36 composite and uses that across-the-board fluency to diagnose exactly which section habits are costing a student points, then drill fixes until they stick. Rated 5.0 by students.

Scoring a 35 on her own ACT gave Sophia a blueprint she's since refined across five years of tutoring — she's consistently moved students up by 3+ points by targeting the specific section strategies that yield the fastest gains. Her approach breaks the test into manageable patterns: pacing tricks for the Science section's data interpretation, grammar rules that repeat on English, and process-of-elimination techniques for Reading passages. Rated 4.8 by students, she knows the difference between understanding the material and understanding the test.

Three semesters as a lead TA for anatomy and physiology taught Dimitry how to explain dense material quickly and clearly — a skill that translates directly to coaching the ACT's Science section, where students need to parse unfamiliar data without panicking. His 35 composite and pre-med background at UNC Chapel Hill mean he's equally sharp on the Math and English sides, and he builds prep around the specific section dragging a student's score down. Rated 4.9 by students.

As a math major at UNC Chapel Hill, Tanay brings genuine fluency to the ACT's Math section — but his tutoring across subjects like grammar, literature, and science means he can diagnose weaknesses in any of the four sections, not just the quantitative ones. His 35 composite came from treating each section as its own puzzle with distinct timing and strategy demands, and that's exactly how he structures prep. Rated 5.0 by students.

Writing for The Chronicle at Duke and studying engineering in Pratt means Natalie genuinely lives on both sides of the ACT — the verbal reasoning that drives English and Reading scores and the quantitative problem-solving behind Math and Science. She earned a 35 composite and uses her cross-disciplinary instincts to teach students how to adjust their approach section by section, particularly on the Reading passages where pacing decisions make or break a score.
