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...

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 chem...

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...

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 Ma...

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 i...

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 essa...

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 sectio...

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 diag...

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 a...

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 fo...

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 s...

Jonathan scored a 35 ACT composite and took the exam recently enough to know its current quirks — the time pressure on the Science section, the grammar patterns ACT recycles on English, and the specific trig concepts that appear on Math. As a Vanderbilt biochemistry student who just went through the...

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-discipli...

Studying medical sociology at Duke while prepping for med school means Zhong reads dense research and builds evidence-based arguments daily — skills that map directly onto the ACT's Reading and Science sections, where extracting claims from unfamiliar passages is the whole game. His 1590 SAT and 34 ...

Biochemistry majors rarely struggle with ACT Science, but Abir's 36 composite proves he's just as dominant on the English and Reading sections — his college essay and literature tutoring experience keeps those verbal skills sharp alongside the STEM content. He teaches each section as its own system,...
