Scored a 34 on the ACT

400+ people coached for ACT

The ACT is fast becoming my favorite undergraduate entrance exam. Although I did not take it in high school, once I began tutoring the SAT for Kaplan, I was asked to try the ACT. I tested in and started cracking the code. After working with at least 400 clients on this exam, I've become familiar with its patterns, and I've tailored techniques to improve any student's experience with this test. Like the SAT, the ACT has recently been shortened, and the Science section is no longer required. As such, I believe this is the best time to take this test.

Alex can help with:

ACT Math

ACT Science

About Alex

I was trained as an economist; however, after a year of tutoring, I opted out of pursuing a PhD at Claremont Graduate University. The transmission of knowledge to the next generation in a limpid, digestible manner became paramount to me over the course of 8+ years of teaching and tutoring students of all ages and learning persuasions. Whatever your academic dream may be, I know I can help.

Why do I coach?

I've had three mentors who have coached me: Jose, at UCLA, in the foreign exchange market; Bill, at the MOT, in historiography; and Julie, at Kaplan, in customer service. Without their input, guidance and unwavering challenge, I would not have the character that I have today. I have synthesized their methods and approaches to mentoring and put them into action with all my clients, inculcating systemic approaches, disciplined thinking, conscientiousness and courtesy, and endurance.
