Eric
BA Duke University
8+ Years Tutoring

I am currently a student at Duke University studying Biomedical Engineering and Economics. Just a little bit about me and some of my interests. Some of my favorite academic interests include memoirs and modern classics. I think Catcher in the Rye is still one of my all time favorite books but Percy Jackson, a modern classic, is up there too. Beyond academics, I take great guilty pleasure in watching TV shows such as Westworld, Sherlock, How I Met Your Mother, and even The Bachelorette when I'm at a low point.

Frances
BA Duke University • Degree unspecified Duke University
6+ Years Tutoring

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.

Sophia
BA University
9+ Years Tutoring

Five years of tutoring — including dedicated ACT prep that's boosted clients' scores by 3+ points — taught Sophia which English section patterns actually move the needle: the comma rules students overthink, the transition questions they underthink, and the conciseness traps that catch even strong readers. Her 35 ACT composite and pre-med coursework at UNC Chapel Hill mean she approaches each passage with both editorial precision and the systematic rule-application that turns a shaky 25 into a confident 30+. Rated 4.8 by students.

Florence
BA Duke University
5+ Years Tutoring

Most ACT English mistakes come from overthinking — students who know grammar rules but freeze when a sentence sounds awkward in context. Florence tackles this by drilling the specific conventions the ACT actually tests: comma splices, pronoun-antecedent agreement, parallel structure, and rhetorical effectiveness questions. Her 36 ACT composite means she's navigated every question type the English section throws at students.

Jonathan
BA Vanderbilt University
6+ Years Tutoring

I am a freshman at Vanderbilt University currently pursuing a B.S. in Biochemistry. My inquisitive nature has fostered a love for mathematics, the natural sciences, and how they interact to produce the world we experience every day. This extends to my teaching strategy, where I emphasize the importance of conceptual understanding rather than pure memorization of equations and steps. My recent experience in a wide variety of Advanced Placement courses lends me insight to recent changes in course objectives and exam formatting.

Abir
BA University of North Carolina System Office
5+ Years Tutoring

Biochemistry majors read and write with a particular kind of discipline — every word in a research abstract earns its place — and Abir carries that editorial reflex into the ACT English section's conciseness and redundancy questions, where the correct answer is almost always the shortest one that preserves meaning. She scored a 36 ACT composite and teaches the punctuation rules the test loves most (comma splices, apostrophe possession, dash pairs) as a short, memorizable checklist rather than something to feel out by ear. Rated 5.0 by students.

Most ACT English mistakes come from overthinking — students second-guess correct punctuation or pick a wordier phrase because it "sounds smarter." Zhong, who earned a 34 ACT, drills the specific grammar conventions the test recycles (parallelism, comma usage with nonessential clauses, redundancy) so students can move through the section quickly and confidently.

Her 35 ACT composite backs up that editorial instinct, and she's especially sharp on the rhetorical strategy questions where students need to decide what a passage gains or loses from adding or cutting a sentence.

Growing up in Rwanda, Kenya, and Egypt before arriving at Harvard, Caleb learned English alongside French and navigated multiple educational systems — experience that gave him an unusually concrete grasp of the grammar rules most native speakers only know by feel. That cross-linguistic awareness, paired with a 35 ACT composite, makes him especially effective at explaining the punctuation and sentence-structure conventions the English section tests, since he can articulate the logic behind rules that "sound right" answers often get wrong.

I am a senior college student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, majoring in Philosophy with a minor in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics. I have experience working with elementary and middle school students, but am also prepared to tutor students at the high school level. I am proficient in writing, reading skills, composition, IB Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge tutoring, as well as philosophy and psychology. My favorite area of tutoring is, naturally, philosophy, given the analytical and logically focused virtue of that domain, though writing and reading skills are inherently tied to its practice, and I therefore also favor working with students in these areas. My main goal with students is to endow them with the skills necessary to excel in their chosen fields without the fears of lack of preparation or unfamiliarity with the given subject. I typically begin with a diagnostic overview of the students capabilities, and once their abilities have been assessed, continued with a targeted approach to augment their deficiencies and highlight their individual skills. Beyond academia, I love studying and playing Chess, Tennis, and Skiing, schedule permitting!
