I understand that your time is valuable. The last thing you need is a cookie-cutter prep program that spends hours on material you've already mastered. That is why the first thing I do is identify your strengths and weaknesses. Every student is different, so I tailor my teaching to how you think and where you need the most improvement. My approach focuses on teaching the reasoning process behind each question — how to think through problems methodically rather than simply memorizing content and drilling practice sets. I've taken many students in the ~25 range to get above 32 overall The ACT is a fast-paced exam, so beyond content knowledge, I help students develop timing strategies and the ability to make confident decisions under pressure. I provide all the materials you need, including questions from recent tests. No busywork, no generic lesson plans; just focused, personalized coaching that respects your time and delivers results.

Hi there, I'm ZeeShawn! I am a recent graduate from UT Austin and will be attending medical school Fall of 2024. Qualifications: I scored in the 99+% on both my SAT and ACT (35) and 800 on the SAT Math II & Bio Subject Tests.

On average, my students have scored 1480 on the SAT (98%) and 34 on the ACT (99%).

I have been a full-time tutor for over a decade now, and during that time I've worked with more than 300 students prepping for the ACT. Many students come to me after having taken the test once already, but I have also helped plenty of students prepare for their first taking of the test. Those who spend at least 10 sessions with me regularly experience improvement of at least 3 points on their composite score. Most students I have worked with reach out for help with a specific section of the ACT, but I have provided full test preparation for many others. For the English section, I provide expert guidance on grammatical rules and rhetorical techniques. For ACT Math, I offer extensive review on both the basics and advanced skills, while also teaching test-taking and calculator skills. Concentrated work on the English or Math section often yields improvement of at least 4 points in that section.

Seasoned learning specialist with over 20 years of experience across New York City, New England, and California. As the founder of 1st Principles Learning (formerly myldtutor) and a consultant master tutor with elite NYC firms, I have coached over 150 students through high-stakes college test-prep architectures. My approach is highly concrete: I treat the ACT as an intensive pacing sprint.

By explicitly training pacing architecture and structural exam mechanics to accommodate the individual learner, my clients break through score plateaus, reduce testing anxiety, and build sustainable executive skills that carry directly into selective admissions.

As a university mathematics professor with over 14 years of teaching experience, I bring strong conceptual clarity and structured problem-solving to ACT Math preparation. The ACT is not just about knowing math — it’s about solving problems quickly, recognizing patterns, and managing time effectively. My academic background allows me to simplify complex concepts and teach students how to approach questions strategically rather than mechanically. I focus on: Identifying high-yield question types Improving pacing and time management Teaching efficient solving methods Building confidence under pressure Many students lose points not because they lack ability, but because they lack structure and strategy. My goal is to help students approach the ACT with control, speed, and precision — turning it into a manageable challenge rather than an overwhelming one.

As a teacher, I actually spend my time tutoring my students to sit down for this exam and have seen scores jump from 5-10 points.
