I am a graduate of University of Delaware, where I studied Anthropology and Theatre Performance. I have tutored extensively in math subjects (including SAT/ACT prep) which I have always enjoyed, being the son of a math professor. I have worked in various capacities as a math tutor/teacher, including at the Prefreshman Engineering Program, a summer camp in San Antonio, TX where I taught and mentored middle and high school students in math, science, and engineering topics. I have also tutored extensively in the San Antonio area (which is my hometown!). I emphasize understanding any material from multiple perspectives, which results in a sophisticated mastery of the content and allows students to feel comfortable with what they are learning, both in tutoring sessions and in the classroom. Whenever I tutor for test prep, my philosophy is to teach the material that the test is supposed to be testing, instead of teaching to the test. In addition to being a tutor, I am an actor, a long-distance runner, and an ultimate frisbee fan.

Before tackling any passage, Natalie teaches students to convert the blurb and opening lines into a one-sentence prediction of the author's agenda — a habit from her political science coursework at BYU that makes detail and inference questions answerable without full re-reads. Her 33 ACT composite and finance training mean she approaches the reading section with an efficiency mindset: spend time only where points are, and learn to recognize the subtle word swaps that turn a correct answer into a trap.

Reading four dense passages in 35 minutes requires a method, not just speed. John breaks the ACT Reading section into a decision-making process: how to skim for structure, when to go back to the text versus trusting your first read, and how to eliminate answer choices that sound right but distort the passage. His 36 composite and background in literature make him especially sharp on the prose fiction and humanities passages.

Reading four dense passages in 35 minutes forces a different kind of reading than most students are used to. Sugi's cognitive science training at Rice gives her a framework for teaching active reading strategies — how to map an argument's structure on a first pass so that inference and tone questions become straightforward rather than agonizing. She holds a perfect 36 ACT composite and a 5.0 tutoring rating.

Most ACT Reading mistakes happen not because students can't comprehend the passage but because they spend too long on it and rush the questions. Jiatian teaches a triage method: skim for structure first, then go back to the text with specific question stems in mind. It's the same prioritize-and-filter approach she uses in medical training, applied to literary narratives and social science passages instead of clinical data.

The ACT Reading section gives students just 35 minutes for four dense passages, which means raw reading speed matters less than knowing where to look. Alyssa teaches a passage-mapping strategy that pinpoints main claims and key details before touching the questions — an approach refined from her own 35 composite score. She's rated 5.0 by students.

I am an undergraduate of the Johns Hopkins University, majoring in Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science. I have years of experience tutoring and teaching math and various sciences from an elementary to a college level. I primarily tutor college level courses such as physics and biochemistry, but also have extensive experience in social sciences, biology, and higher mathematics such as Calculus and Differential Equations. I believe that demonstrating the various real-world applications of a given concept is the best method to increase a student's understanding.

The ACT Reading section isn't really about reading — it's about efficiently locating evidence and eliminating wrong answers under tight time pressure. Eisha scored a perfect 36 ACT composite and teaches a strategic approach to paired passages and inference questions that cuts down on second-guessing. Rated 5.0 by students.

I'm currently a freshman at Rice University studying applied math. I've always had a love for sharing knowledge with others, and I started tutoring when I was a junior in high school. As a former AP student and a National AP Scholar, I have the experience necessary to guide my students through challenging curriculum. Though I specialize in tutoring mathematics and physics, I am experienced with and am happy to tutor a broad range of subjects.

Most ACT Reading mistakes happen not because students misunderstand the passage but because they misread what the question is actually asking — detail retrieval versus inference, author's purpose versus tone. Meghana's English studies give her a sharp sense for how the test constructs wrong answers that sound right, and she walks students through annotation techniques that cut re-reading time on the four-passage, 35-minute sprint.

I'm a freshman at Rice University, and planning to major in Mathematical Economic Analysis and Computer Science. I'm also a student athlete and a starting member of The Rice University Men's Golf Team so I understand time is crucial and will do my best to help you understand and not just memorize concepts so you don't have to spend time every week trying to understand the same thing. A lot of math concepts repeat themselves in high school and college. My core is in math and that is where I will be most efficient in helping a student. Aside from that, please let me know if you have any questions or need anything.

Biochemistry coursework at Rice means Raj spends his weeks digesting research papers packed with competing data interpretations — the same skill the ACT Reading section tests when it asks students to distinguish what an author explicitly states from what a wrong answer subtly distorts. He drills students on eliminating answer choices by pinpointing the exact word or phrase in the passage that confirms or kills each option, a method that's especially effective on the natural science and social science passages where precision matters more than speed. His perfect 36 ACT composite and 5.0 student rating back up that evidence-first approach.

I am a rising sophomore at Rice University in Houston, Texas. I am majoring in Social Policy Analysis with minors in global health technologies and biochemistry and cell biology. I am passionate about refugee advocacy, global health, and women's education. I am also on the pre-med track and hope to go to medical school after Rice. I have tutored for four years in high school and have a younger sibling that I have tutored in the ACT and standardized tests. I am pretty flexible and look forward to working with any new students.

I am most passionate about biology and chemistry. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students.

I am a prematriculant student at the University of Chicago. In high school I took advanced STEM courses at the University of North Texas through a high school program called the Texas Academy of Math and Science. I love taking high level math courses, but I get even more excited when I can help friends and classmates in courses I have already taken. I believe that having a solid understanding of math concepts builds you up for success in any field. I have experience as a teaching assistant in pre-calculus and calculus and have experience tutoring and assisting students in high school math, calculus, and differential equations. When preparing students for standardized tests like the ACT and SAT, I focus on filling any gaps in material and teaching new techniques for making the test easier and quicker to take. I have used and perfected these techniques while taking the ACT and SAT myself and have had success on both tests. I am also a National Merit Finalist.

I'm a student at Vanderbilt University pursuing a BA in Cognitive Studies and a minor in Corporate Strategies. I have worked at the Mama Lere Hearing School at the Vanderbilt Medical Center for deaf preschoolers as well as volunteered as a first grade Sunday School teacher. In addition, I have had multiple ongoing volunteer positions as a tutor in schools in low-income areas in the subjects of Algebra I/II and English Language Arts. I have had the privilege of helping these students rise up beyond the any expectations, and I believe that a large part of their success comes not only from tutoring but from mentorship. Building a strong relationship with the student is first and foremost to being an effective tutor. I have strong skills in assessing the student's needs and meeting them where they are at.

I am from Portland, Oregon and currently attend school in Dallas, Texas. I enjoy going outside and spending time with friends and family. I would love to help you study and get ahead or catch up in your classes!

Reading four dense passages in 35 minutes requires more than comprehension — it requires a system. Chaya teaches students how to actively annotate prose fiction, social science, humanities, and natural science passages so they can answer inference and main-idea questions without rereading entire paragraphs. Her literature and reading background at Michigan gives her a sharp eye for the kinds of textual evidence the ACT rewards.

An applied math degree might not scream 'reading comprehension,' but Rakhi's training means she approaches ACT Reading passages like logical structures — tracking how each paragraph's evidence connects to the author's central claim, which is exactly what inference and purpose questions test. She drills students on eliminating answer choices by finding the specific textual mismatch, turning the section into a systematic process rather than a guessing game. Her 32 ACT composite and 4.8 student rating back up that analytical approach.

Most ACT Reading mistakes happen not because students can't comprehend the passage, but because they spend too long on it and rush the questions. Whitney teaches a passage-mapping strategy — identifying the author's argument structure and key claims on the first read — that cuts re-reading time dramatically. She used this approach herself on the way to a 35 composite and a National Merit Finalist designation.

I am a graduate of Texas A&M University; I received a Bachelor of Science in Biology along with being a minor in Spanish. I also studied at Plano ISD in high school. As Plano ISD is recognized for its academic achievements and competitiveness, I have always been positively challenged by my curriculum and by my peers to improve and to push myself to excel. From a young age, I have always been a part of the Gifted and Talented program. Trying to challenge myself and wanting to be different, I took a risk and joined the International Baccalaureate (IB) Program, a program that was not as well recognized at the time and was extremely difficult. Joining the IB program was the best decision I have taken thus far. I gained knowledge from all around world- different insights, different histories, different philosophies, different literature, etc.

Miguel's dual degree in Computer Science and English means he's equally comfortable with logical structure and literary analysis — a combination that pays off on ACT Reading, where students need to parse both natural science arguments and prose fiction with the same precision under time pressure. He teaches students to identify the functional role of each paragraph before looking at questions, which cuts down on the frantic re-reading that eats up minutes on test day. His 35 ACT composite and 4.9 student rating back that up.

Reading passages on the ACT aren't meant to be enjoyed — they're puzzles with predictable structures, and the answers are almost always sitting in the text rather than requiring interpretation. Adam's 35 ACT composite came partly from treating each passage as an evidence hunt, and he teaches students the same annotation and elimination techniques that make the section feel less rushed.

The ACT Reading section isn't about being a fast reader — it's about knowing what the questions actually ask and where to find the answers. Harsh teaches students to distinguish between "detail" and "inference" question types and to use passage structure to locate evidence quickly, a strategy that helped him earn a 35 composite. His approach turns a section many students dread into one of their most reliable scoring areas.

The ACT Reading section isn't really about reading — it's about quickly locating evidence and matching it to answer choices under brutal time pressure. Tim teaches a systematic approach to the four passage types, showing students how to prioritize questions and avoid the traps built into "almost right" answers. His 35 ACT composite and 5.0 client rating speak to how well that approach translates to real score gains.

I'm starting my junior year at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL. I'm currently getting my degree in biology with a concentration in health and human disease, global health, and a minor in French. I love reading, traveling, learning and helping others learn! I have experience tutoring high school and elementary school students in math, science, and English and I love tutoring in each subject equally. Eventually, I see myself going to medical school and researching topics related to viral diseases which I've been interested in since a very young age. I'm very passionate about the subjects I teach and hope to pass my passion on to the individuals I tutor!

Between a neuroscience major and NCAA Division 1 athletics at Rice, Brett knows something about processing large amounts of information under time pressure — which is essentially the entire ACT Reading section in a nutshell. He teaches students to prioritize passage structure over passage content, zeroing in on how authors frame their claims so that detail and inference questions become quick evidence checks rather than memory tests. His 35 ACT composite and 5.0 student rating back that up.

I am a third year student at The University of Texas at Austin studying Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science. I have 3 months of online tutoring experience, tutoring both computer science and chemistry. I like the students I tutor to have a hands on approach to learning. The easiest and most fun way to learn is to do. I love watching students use what they've learned to solve real problems.

The ACT Reading section isn't really about reading speed — it's about knowing what to look for before you start a passage. Aurnab, rated 4.9 by students, teaches a question-first approach that turns each 8-minute passage into a targeted search rather than a careful read-through. His 36 composite came partly from mastering the dual-passage comparison format that trips up even strong readers.

I am currently a student at the University of Texas-Austin, and in the Honors Biomedical Engineering Program. Throughout high school and into college, I have tutored students of all ages; anywhere from my employment at a mathematics tutoring center to private lessons for students my age. Other parts of my life include playing sports (tennis, soccer, ping pong, basketball), jamming on the piano, and doing extracurriculars at school.

Scoring a perfect 36 ACT composite means Lila knows what it feels like to manage all four Reading passages under real time pressure — and her political science coursework at Rice, heavy on policy briefs and competing legal arguments, built the rapid-synthesis habit that keeps the social science and humanities passages from becoming time sinks. She teaches students to zero in on how answer choices subtly shift an author's scope or tone, turning tricky inference questions into straightforward elimination exercises.

I'm a senior at UT Austin studying biology pre-med with a certificate in business foundations. I remember high school being tough and teachers couldn't really help me one-on-one, so I'm here to help you with anything you may be struggling with!

I am majoring in Cognitive Sciences with the intention of getting into Medical school.

I am a graduate of the Johns Hopkins University with a major in Behavioral Biology. I am seeking admission to MD/PhD programs so a lot of my time has been spent in the lab, from a computational neuroscience lab at Hopkins to a genome editing lab at Rice. That being said, I have extensive experience tutoring for the ACT (35) and MCAT (516), both privately and contractually. I aim to get students the score of their dreams. With a solid plan of action and dedication YOU can get there.

Scoring a 34 ACT composite means Snipta knows how to move through dense passages quickly and accurately — a skill sharpened by years of parsing technical research at Microsoft and the National Institutes of Health. For the Reading section specifically, she teaches students to identify author purpose, trace argument structure, and eliminate answer choices using textual evidence rather than gut instinct.

Most students lose points on ACT Reading not because they can't comprehend the passages but because they spend too long re-reading and run out of time. Paul, who scored a 34 composite, teaches a passage-mapping strategy that pinpoints where answers live so students can move through all four passages confidently within the 35-minute window.

Don's favorite test-prep work has always been in reading comprehension, and his 35 ACT composite reflects how well that translates to results. He teaches a passage-mapping technique for ACT Reading that turns the four-passage, 35-minute sprint into a manageable sequence — pinpointing main ideas, locating detail questions without rereading, and handling the dual-passage comparison with confidence.

I am currently studying petroleum engineering at The University of Houston. Although I was typically a strong student in all areas throughout high school, there were some teaching styles I encountered that complicated the material more than was necessary. In fact, I avoided certain subjects for several years simply because of one unpleasant introductory class.

I am currently a student at the University of California at Berkeley. I have worked children of all ages, from kindergarten to high school. During my senior year in high school, I tutored fellow students in SAT and ACT prep, as well as various math and science courses. I enjoy teaching a variety of subjects, but my favorites are math and English. I enjoy getting to know each student and design my curriculums based on each student???s needs. In my spare time, I play the piano, violin, and guitar.

I am a rising sophomore in Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. I am majoring in security studies thinking about working in counterterrorism. As far as tutoring style, I think it is really important not to give the student the answers but to ask them questions and help them come up with strategies to get to the answer for themselves; the goal is to make myself unnecessary in a way. My strengths (in school and tutoring) are in foreign languages including Latin and humanitiesexpect a very enthusiastic tutor especially if we are talking about Shakespeare! I also think it is important to try and frame things in a context students are used to, so if that means watching She's the Man in order to understand Twelfth Night, then that's what we will do (although we do have to read the actual play as well). If that sounds like something you could use, get in touch!
