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 ...

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 te...

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 strat...

Punctuation rules, rhetorical strategy questions, and sentence structure traps make up the bulk of ACT English — and each type requires a different approach. Asta scored a 35 ACT composite and now walks students through the specific grammar conventions that appear most frequently, from comma splices...

I am a 2023 graduate of the University of Notre Dame with a Finance/Economics major and a minor in Innovation and Entrepreneurship. I am a passionate student in the math and business realms, as I enjoy the intuitiveness of the former and the real-world potential of the latter. During classes in midd...

The ACT English section looks deceptively easy until students realize it's testing precise grammar rules — comma splices, subject-verb agreement across long clauses, and rhetorical strategy questions that require reading like an editor. Aleeza earned a 36 composite and treats this section as a set o...

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 ...

I'm referring to math, of course, but I didn't always like the subject. Until about age 16, I thought of math as a boring, mind-numbing process of blindly memorizing formulas and then forgetting them after the test, but a series of wonderful teachers showed me the truth. I had thought that everythin...

I'm Lizz, a middle school math teacher working in Chicago Public Schools. I love to see students go from describing themselves as "not a math person" to feeling like they meet exciting challenges in math and other parts of their lives. Even though I love working in the classroom, I feel like tutorin...

Most ACT English mistakes come down to a handful of grammar patterns — comma splices, subject-verb agreement across long clauses, and misplaced modifiers — that repeat test after test. Neha scored a 35 composite and teaches students to spot these patterns quickly so they can move through the 75 ques...

Scoring a 36 ACT composite means Spencer has already beaten every question type the English section throws at students — and as an environmental engineering major, he approaches grammar rules the way he approaches equations: systematically, with no room for ambiguity. He drills students on the speci...

I am exploring my creativity by pursuing a double major in Asian Languages and Cultures with a focus in Korean, studying abroad in South Korea as a Benjamin A. Gilman Scholar, leading workshops that teach 3D printing and CAD for undergraduate students as the president of 3D4E, advocating for the fir...

The ACT English section rewards students who can spot grammatical errors quickly — comma splices, subject-verb disagreement, redundancy — without overthinking each passage. Connor scored a 35 ACT composite and breaks the section down into a handful of recurring rule patterns that make even the trick...

Scoring a 36 ACT composite while juggling economics and cancer biology coursework at UChicago means Jessica lives in two writing worlds — one driven by data-heavy argumentation, the other by precise scientific prose — and both demand the exact editing reflexes the English section rewards. She zeroes...

Cognitive science at Northwestern taught Amanda to study how people process language — which turns out to be exactly what the ACT English section exploits, since many wrong answers are designed to "sound right" by mimicking patterns our brains default to under time pressure. She teaches students to ...
