Joe’s ACT Qualifications
Scored a 34 on the ACT
Welcome! I scored a 34 out of 36 on the ACT, and I've spent years since helping students reach scores like that themselves. As a private tutor with Varsity Tutors, I've worked with over 300 students across a wide range of subjects and skill levels, and I know how to break the ACT down into manageable, learnable parts, whether the challenge is timing on the math section, close reading under pressure, or simply calming nerves before test day. My academic background includes an MBA from Harvard Business School and master's degrees in Defense and Strategic Studies and in Engineering, so the kind of disciplined, strategic studying the ACT rewards is something I both teach and have lived. What I've learned from coaching hundreds of students is that no two learners are the same. I tailor my approach to how you actually think, identifying where points are slipping away and building a clear, focused plan to win them back. Whether you're aiming to clear a scholarship threshold, strengthen a college application, or reach a personal best, I'd love to help you get there. Reach out and let's build your plan.
