Vansh
Certified ACT English Tutor
Vansh
BA Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus
9+ Years Tutoring

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 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.

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.

The ACT English section tests grammar rules most students never formally learned — comma splices, modifier placement, rhetorical strategy questions that ask you to rearrange or delete sentences. Michael scored a 36 composite and breaks each question type into a decision tree so students stop relying on what "sounds right" and start applying consistent logic. Rated 4.9 by students.

Civil engineering coursework at UF means Cavan reads technical documents all day where a misplaced modifier or ambiguous pronoun can change the meaning of a structural specification — that same precision applies to the ACT English section's grammar and rhetoric questions. He scored a 33 ACT composite and teaches the punctuation and sentence-structure rules as a closed system students can memorize and apply mechanically, which frees up time for the trickier passage-organization questions.

I am a certified Math 5-9 Teacher in FL. I taught middle and high school for two years. I am a graduate of Florida State University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Social Science with a focus in Public Administration and Sociology. After graduation, I took a gap year before graduate school to serve in AmeriCorps. I highly recommend it! I currently do photography and work at a startup. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Math. I have worked with students in grades K-12. I cater to each student's individual learning style. In my experience, it is always rewarding seeing my students have that "aha moment" when they understand a concept or when their confidence and attitude towards a subject has changed from when we started. This in turn is reflected in their improved test scores and grades in the class. I am a firm believer in fully investing in my students to help them reach their highest potential.

Kayla
BA University of Miami
1+ Years Tutoring

I am working toward my B.S. in Education at the University of Miami, which I will complete this coming May. My degree specializes in a few areas, all within the social sciences: Human and Social Development, Geography, Urban studies, and Sociology. I love working with students one on one, and have even traveled to South Africa to work in after school programs helping middle school students better grasp concepts in English and Math. I tutor a wide variety of subjects in the social sciences, as well as test preparation for high school students who are trying to improve their SAT and ACT scores. These tests are my favorite subjects to help students with because it is satisfying to see measurable improvement in scores that will ultimately help students get into their dream colleges. My philosophy is that all students can succeed if they are motivated to do well and willing to put in the time and effort that it will take to reach the level they want. My job is to give students the basic tools that they need before they can help themselves. Outside of school and work, I love to be outdoors! I enjoy bicycling, yoga, running, and going to the beach on the weekends. I also love traveling, discovering new places and people, and getting to know them.

Kelsey

I am currently studying at St. John’s College for my Bachelor of Arts in the Liberal Arts. St. John’s curriculum follows the Great Books Program which relies on primary sources instead of textbooks. During my time at St. John’s, I have volunteered as a tutor working with middle school students, focusing on Reading, Writing, and Mathematics. I have also tutored students in US history, Government, and World Religions. I have enjoyed tutoring English and Literature the most as I find it very rewarding to help students find material that they not only enjoy, but connect to and use to understand their own lives. In this age, technology has made information freely available to everyone. I think that it is extremely important to teach students how to find, processes and critically reflect on this wealth of resources. I find that it is equally important to nurture a student’s curiosity by demonstrating how lessons taught in the classroom can be applied to their unique passion. My own passions include writing, reading anything from philosophy to comic books, and playing video games.

Punctuation rules, rhetorical strategy, and sentence structure make up the bulk of ACT English, and each one has a finite set of patterns the test recycles. Payal teaches students to identify those patterns — when a dash pair signals a nonessential clause, when "however" needs a semicolon, when a question is really asking about tone. Rated 5.0 by students, she brings the same precision to grammar that her physics training demands in problem-solving.
