Approved Subjects

ACT English

ACT English

I scored a 36 in English and a 35 composite on the September 2026 ACT, and I currently develop ACT English curriculum with a New York tutoring agency. My teaching background includes a year teaching high school English in Thailand and one-on-one tutoring for IELTS preparation. I help students recognize the grammar rules, punctuation patterns, and rhetorical choices behind ACT English questions so they can explain why an answer works instead of relying on what sounds right. My approach combines clear explanations with guided practice to build accuracy, speed, and confidence.
ACT Math

ACT Math

I earned a 36 on ACT Math in high school and returned to take the ACT in September 2026, earning a 35 composite. I’m a Vanderbilt economics graduate and currently work with quantitative data products used by hedge funds. I help students break complicated problems into manageable steps, recognize recurring question patterns, and choose efficient approaches using algebra, answer choices, and calculator tools. My approach emphasizes understanding why a method works and practicing until students can apply it confidently under time pressure.
ACT Reading

I scored a 36 in Reading and a 35 composite on the September 2026 ACT, and I hold a Vanderbilt degree in economics and history. My teaching background includes high school English instruction in Thailand and one-on-one IELTS preparation. I help students identify a passage’s main ideas, track the author’s perspective, and find specific evidence to distinguish correct answers from tempting distractors. Through guided practice, I help students build an approach to reading and pacing that balances comprehension with the test’s time constraints.
ACT Science

ACT Science

I scored a 36 in Science and a 35 composite on the September 2026 ACT, and I’m a Vanderbilt graduate working with quantitative data products for hedge funds. I help students interpret graphs and tables, understand experimental designs, and compare competing scientific explanations. My approach teaches students where to look for evidence, how to separate relevant information from distracting details, and when outside scientific knowledge is needed. Through guided practice, students build accuracy and learn to manage their time across different passage types.

My approach combines clear explanations with guided practice so students understand their methods and can apply them confidently under time pressure.

Through guided practice, students learn to distinguish supported inferences from tempting assumptions and build confidence under time pressure.

Through clear explanations and guided practice, students learn to justify their answers and recognize the patterns behind questions.
