Rhetorical strategy questions on the ACT English section trip up students who only studied comma rules — they require understanding why a writer made a specific choice. Justin, who earned a 34 ACT composite and coaches high school speech and debate, breaks these questions down by teaching students to read like editors: identifying redundancy, evaluating tone shifts, and recognizing when a sentence undermines the paragraph's purpose.

A Dartmouth history and government major headed to Stanford Law, Bryan spent four years constructing and dismantling written arguments — the exact skill set behind the ACT English section's rhetorical strategy questions about paragraph organization, transitional logic, and whether a sentence actually serves the writer's purpose. His 34 ACT composite and 5.0 rating confirm he backs up that argumentative training with the grammar-rule fluency needed to move quickly through all 75 questions.

Scoring a 32 ACT composite, Thomas knows the English section rewards a specific skill: hearing the difference between concise, correct phrasing and the wordy or awkward options the test loves to offer. He teaches students to spot redundancy, comma-splice traps, and transition errors quickly, building the kind of instinct that shaves minutes off the section.

The ACT English section is really a grammar and rhetoric test in disguise — it rewards students who can spot comma splices, fix pronoun-antecedent errors, and choose the most concise phrasing under time pressure. Ethan, who scored a 32 ACT composite, teaches the specific grammar rules that appear most frequently so students stop second-guessing themselves on test day.

I'm Maddie Wright, a recent graduate of UCLA and enthusiastic tutor specializing in the ACT, language arts, and math. I majored in marine biology and minored in geography in undergrad, so I am also very comfortable teaching the natural and social sciences. My specialties include creating personalized materials and offering writing and college application guidance. I cater to Elementary, Middle, and High School students, and always aim to provide engaging, informative, and specialized sessions for my students. From presenting core concepts, to reviewing real world applications, to assisting with homework and test preparation, I'm super excited to dive into learning together!

Scoring a perfect 36 ACT composite while studying Industrial Engineering at Georgia Tech means Ilesh learned to treat every problem — including grammar — as a system with rules you can map and apply. He zeroes in on the English section's punctuation and sentence structure questions by teaching the handful of patterns the test actually recycles, so students stop second-guessing what "sounds right" and start recognizing what's structurally correct. Rated 5.0 by students.

Scoring a 36 ACT composite means John knows exactly how the English section tries to trip students up — from comma splice traps to rhetorical strategy questions buried in transition sentences. His English and Drama background gives him a natural ear for the grammar and style conventions the test rewards, and he teaches students to spot the patterns that make 75 questions in 45 minutes manageable.

Scoring a perfect 36 ACT composite means Sugi knows exactly how the English section tests grammar — from comma splices and apostrophe rules to rhetorical strategy questions about paragraph organization. She breaks each question type into a decision tree so students can identify what's being tested before they even look at the answer choices. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am currently a resident physician at Northwestern Hospital.

Scoring a 36 ACT composite while juggling a chemical engineering curriculum at Washington and Lee means Alex learned to read and edit fast — a skill that pays off on the English section's 75 questions in 45 minutes, where hesitation on any single punctuation or rhetoric question eats into the clock. His medical school training at Arizona adds another layer: writing and revising under pressure is now second nature, and he teaches the section's recurring patterns (verb-tense shifts, pronoun agreement, passage-level organization) as a systematic checklist rather than a feel-it-out exercise.

Running through the Honors Program in Medical Education at Northwestern meant Anna was writing and editing scientific prose from her first undergraduate year — tightening arguments, cutting redundancy, and enforcing precise punctuation under deadline, which is essentially the ACT English section at higher speed. She scored a 36 ACT composite and teaches the rhetorical strategy questions (paragraph placement, writer's-goal prompts, transition logic) as structured decision trees rather than subjective judgment calls. Rated 5.0 by students.

Elliot earned a 36 ACT composite, and his approach to the English section zeroes in on the handful of grammar rules — comma splices, modifier placement, parallelism, pronoun agreement — that appear on nearly every test form. Beyond mechanics, he also tackles the rhetorical strategy questions, teaching students how to evaluate whether a sentence should be added, deleted, or repositioned within a passage.

Medical school trains you to read dense passages fast and extract exactly what matters — Jiatian applies that same triage instinct to the ACT English section, where 75 questions in 45 minutes rewards quick, decisive editing over deliberation. As a Rice AB graduate now finishing med school, she treats each underlined portion as a rule-based decision point, drilling students on the specific punctuation and rhetorical patterns the test repeats until choosing the right fix becomes automatic.

I am a Neuroscience and Behavior major at Columbia University. Although my major is centered in the STEM field, I am also passionate about human rights work, global engagement, and local outreach. While my future plans are subject to change, I see myself continuing in academia, going to medical school, and becoming a physician.

I am a Yale graduate with over 8 years experience tutoring students from a variety of backgrounds. I recently graduated from the Yale School of Public Health with a MPH concentrating in Epidemiology and Global Health. I also received my B.S. from Yale with a double major in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and French. I have experience both leading group classes and working with students one on one. I will respond to a student's strengths, weaknesses, and learning style in order to help them succeed and make the most of our time together. I earned a perfect score of 36 on the ACT, 2280 on the SAT, and qualified as a National Merit Scholar on the PSAT. I look forward to working with you!

Comma rules, subject-verb agreement across long clauses, and rhetorical ordering questions make up the bulk of ACT English — and each one has a learnable pattern. Edward scored a 36 composite and approaches this section by drilling the specific grammar conventions that appear most frequently, then layering in the passage-level strategy questions that many students overlook. His background as a writer means he can explain why a rule exists, not just that it does.

I am available to tutor a range of middle school and high school subjects, but I am most excited about tutoring test prep. I remember how stressful preparing for college can be and I am eager to do my part in helping students fulfill their college goals. I believe that learning is a collaborative process and I am committed to being as actively involved in the student's learning as I can. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, going to the movies (I try to see each Oscar nominee before the ceremony every year.), and am a huge Michigan sports fan.

The ACT English section rewards students who can spot rhetorical strategy questions hiding among grammar items — knowing when the test is asking about sentence placement versus subject-verb agreement changes everything. Austin scored a 33 ACT composite and brings a Classics background that makes parsing sentence structure second nature. He teaches students to distinguish between questions testing conventions and those testing rhetoric, which cuts down on careless errors.

Studying communication and ministry meant Logan spent years dissecting how language persuades — sermon structure, rhetorical clarity, concise phrasing — which maps surprisingly well onto the ACT English section's rhetoric and organization questions. He pairs that background with a 36 ACT composite and teaches the punctuation rules the test loves to recycle (comma usage, apostrophes, semicolons) as quick pattern-recognition decisions rather than gut calls. Rated 5.0 by students.

Most ACT English mistakes come down to a handful of grammar and rhetoric patterns that repeat across every test. Benjamin, who scored a 36 composite and studies English at Columbia, drills students on the specific punctuation rules, transition logic, and concision principles that the ACT actually tests — so nothing on test day feels unfamiliar.

Most ACT English mistakes come down to a handful of grammar rules applied inconsistently — comma splices, pronoun-antecedent disagreement, redundancy. Christopher scored a 35 composite and drills these patterns until students spot errors almost reflexively, then tackles the trickier rhetorical strategy questions that separate good scores from great ones.

I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.

Most ACT English mistakes come down to a handful of grammar patterns — comma splices, subject-verb agreement across long phrases, and misplaced modifiers — that repeat throughout the test. Alyssa teaches students to spot these specific patterns quickly, drawing on her own 35 composite score and her experience editing college-level writing.

A magna cum laude Duke graduate with professional writing experience, Frances knows how to dissect a sentence quickly — which is exactly what the ACT English section demands across its 75 questions on punctuation, rhetorical strategy, and passage organization. She zeroes in on the redundancy and transition questions that trip up students who otherwise know their grammar, teaching them to edit like a writer tightening a draft rather than a test-taker second-guessing by ear. Her 35 ACT composite and 4.6 rating back up the approach.

Most ACT English mistakes come down to three things: comma rules, pronoun agreement, and rhetorical ordering — and Emily zeroes in on whichever of those is costing a student the most points. Her 36 ACT composite came partly from understanding the test's patterns, like how "DELETE the underlined portion" is correct more often than students expect. She also draws on her experience facilitating English language discussion sessions to make grammar intuitions stick.

I am available to tutor in a broad range of subjects, though I am most passionate about Economics, History, and Civics. Please feel free to contact me and I would be happy to arrange a session.

Scoring a 36 ACT composite means Tracy didn't just survive the English section — she mastered the specific punctuation, conciseness, and rhetorical strategy patterns it cycles through, and she teaches those patterns as a learnable rulebook rather than a guessing game. Her economics background reinforces a data-driven approach: identify which question types cost you the most points, drill those rules first, and stop wasting time on what you already know. Rated 4.9 by students.

I am an undergraduate at Washington University in St. Louis majoring in Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology on the Premed track. I have two years worth of experience peer tutoring. I feel the most confident tutoring ACT preparation. During my time as a high school student, I worked from an ACT score of 25 to a 36 and developed many effective strategies that I will tailor to the students I tutor and understand the ins and outs of the test. In addition to working with high school peers, I have also enjoyed teaching private piano and violin lessons for elementary students. Helping people knock down their roadblocks is a passion of mine. Standardized tests and basic education may feel removed from our passions, but developing those foundations are essential for opening up opportunities and becoming capable of taking on our pursuits.

I am a sophomore at the Georgia Institute of Technology and am working towards a major in Computer Engineering. I have been tutoring students of all ages and backgrounds in various math topics ranging from elementary school math to AP Calculus throughout high school. I love teaching math and always find it amazing to watch my students grow and improve in their mathematical abilities. While helping students with standardized testing, we go through several tricks and tactics that have helped my students succeed and have fun in the process. I am also well versed in Physics and have spent 3 years taking the highest levels of physics courses. I love playing all sports (especially soccer) and enjoy playing the guitar in my free time as well.

I'm not tutoring, I love walking through New York for design inspiration and taking carpentry, metalworking, and illustration classes.

Scoring a perfect 36 ACT composite means Ryne didn't just survive the English section's 45-minute sprint — he mastered the specific rhythm of its grammar and rhetoric questions, from comma rules around nonessential clauses to the passage-organization problems that reward reading like an editor. His political science background adds a layer of rhetorical awareness that's especially useful on questions about argument structure, transitions, and whether a sentence actually serves the writer's purpose. Rated 4.9 by students.

The IB program drills a particular kind of writing discipline — structured arguments, precise language, relentless editing — and Vansh carried that training straight into his aerospace engineering work at Georgia Tech, where technical writing leaves zero room for ambiguity. That combination makes him especially sharp on the ACT English questions testing conciseness and sentence placement, where students need to cut wordiness and reorganize logic under time pressure rather than just fix punctuation. His 36 ACT composite and 5.0 rating back it up.

I'm a recent college graduate with degrees in Biological Sciences and Russian from Ohio University. During my time there, I tutored students in a variety of subjects, including biology, chemistry, and Spanish. In addition, I worked as both a peer advisor and teaching assistant, which gives me insight into the learning strategies and study skills that students need to succeed. As a tutor, I like to focus on doing actual problems with students because it is the most effective way to immediately identify their strengths and weaknesses and to address them. In my free time, I like to lift weights, read books, and spend time with my friends.

Scoring a perfect 36 ACT composite means Kerr didn't just survive the English section — he mastered the specific rhythm of its 75 questions in 45 minutes, where hesitating on even a few rhetorical strategy questions can tank your pacing. As a CS student at Vanderbilt, he treats grammar conventions like syntax rules in a programming language: each one has a defined logic, and once you learn the rule, you stop guessing by ear and start recognizing patterns instantly. Rated 4.9 by students.

A Creative Writing degree from Carnegie Mellon and induction into Sigma Tau Delta (the English honors society) meant Sydney spent four years dissecting sentence-level craft — parallelism, punctuation as pacing, cutting every unnecessary word — which is essentially what the ACT English section tests at speed across five passages. She scored a 35 ACT composite and brings a writer's instinct for why concise phrasing beats bloated alternatives, turning the rhetorical strategy questions from guesswork into quick editorial calls. Rated 4.9 by students.

I am a recent graduate of Cornell University, where I received a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and graduated Magna Cum Laude. Over the past several years, I have worked with students from diverse backgrounds and experiences tutoring thermodynamics (my personal favorite), chemistry, and math. I have also tutored in the past for ACT/SAT and other subjects such as history, but I am deeply passionate about science and engineering. I tend to push my students to understand conceptual topics, as opposed to rote or algorithmic learning. In my free time, I love to bake sourdough, learn about history, garden, and recently started biking again.

Scoring a perfect 36 ACT composite means Max didn't just survive the English section — he mastered its rhythm of rapid grammar decisions and rhetorical judgment calls under tight time pressure. His biology background might seem unrelated, but years of writing and editing research papers (including one headed for publication) built the kind of sentence-level precision that makes spotting redundancy, faulty transitions, and punctuation errors almost automatic. Rated 5.0 by students.

Punctuation rules and rhetorical effectiveness questions trip up different types of students on ACT English, and Richard diagnoses which category is costing points before drilling the fixes. His 36 ACT composite means he's navigated every question type — comma splices, dangling modifiers, transition logic, redundancy — and can explain the reasoning behind each answer choice. A Government major at Harvard, he brings genuine comfort with written English to every session.

I am a junior at Purdue University studying Aerospace Engineering and am part of the Air Force ROTC program. I have 6 years of tutoring experience at places including Kumon, Mathnasium, and Purdue University. I have worked with kids of all ages from kindergarten to sophomores in college, each with their own set of unique strengths, and tutored a variety of subjects, including calculus, trigonometry, geometry, thermodynamics, chemistry, and physics. Like many of my previous students, I struggled to understand concepts that I was being taught and was a terrible test taker. However, I found ways to overcome my obstacles and develop an better intuition for what I was learning. I believe that it is only this intuition and understanding that helps overcome these obstacles. My least favorite thing to see people be discouraged, so with a little bit of guidance and reassurance, I want to show people that they are capable of anything they put their mind to.

Biomedical engineering at Johns Hopkins means Bidyut writes with the kind of tight, technical precision that maps perfectly onto ACT English — every word in a research paper has to earn its place, just like every answer choice on conciseness and redundancy questions. He teaches the section's punctuation rules (especially comma placement and apostrophe usage) as a small, memorizable set rather than something to guess at, and tackles the rhetorical strategy questions by training students to think like editors deciding what a paragraph actually needs. His 36 ACT composite and 5.0 rating back that up.
