Most ACT English questions test the same handful of grammar and rhetoric rules — comma splices, subject-verb agreement, transition logic, conciseness. Nicholas scored a 36 composite on the ACT and teaches students to spot these patterns rapidly, turning a section that feels subjective into one of the most predictable parts of the test.

Scoring a 35 ACT composite means Caroline knows the English section's rhythm: spotting punctuation errors, tightening wordy sentences, and choosing transitions that sharpen a passage's argument. She teaches students to recognize the handful of grammar patterns the ACT recycles — comma splices, subject-verb agreement traps, modifier placement — so they can move through all 75 questions with confidence and speed.

Computer science trained David to think in strict syntax — one misplaced character breaks everything — and that same precision applies to the ACT English section's punctuation and sentence structure questions, where a single comma or semicolon determines the correct answer. He teaches the section's grammar conventions as a finite rule set to apply systematically, which clicks especially well for students who struggle with the "pick what sounds right" approach. His 36 ACT composite and 5.0 rating speak for themselves.

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.

Theater criticism and social work both demand careful, deliberate language — Katie spent her academic career dissecting how word choice shapes meaning in scripts and clinical documentation, which is exactly the editorial lens the ACT English section rewards on its rhetorical strategy and conciseness questions. She teaches students to treat each passage as a draft that needs tightening, zeroing in on the redundancy and transition problems that trip up even strong readers. Her 35 ACT composite confirms she applies that instinct under test-day pressure.

Scoring a 34 ACT composite means Nisarg has firsthand experience with the pacing and logic of the English section's 75 questions in 45 minutes. He unpacks the difference between rhetorical strategy questions and straight grammar fixes, teaching students to read for sentence function rather than just correctness.

Scoring a 36 ACT composite means Ella knows the English section inside out — the way it tests punctuation rules, rhetorical strategy, and sentence-level logic in rapid succession. She walks students through the specific grammar patterns the ACT recycles (comma splices, modifier placement, verb agreement with tricky subjects) so they can spot errors by instinct on test day.

Coaching high school debate sharpens a very specific skill — hearing a sentence and instantly knowing whether it's tight or flabby, logical or muddled. Rohit applies that same instinct to the ACT English section's rhetoric and conciseness questions, where picking the cleanest phrasing under time pressure is essentially what a debate judge does every round. His 35 ACT composite and 5.0 rating suggest the approach works.

Double-majoring in Genetics and French at the University of Minnesota means Jaya toggles daily between scientific writing and literary analysis — two disciplines with completely different grammar conventions, which builds the kind of flexible editing instinct the ACT English section rewards. Her 35 ACT composite backs up an approach that zeroes in on the rhetorical strategy questions where students need to evaluate tone, audience, and purpose rather than just spot punctuation errors.

The ACT English section tests grammar rules most students half-remember — comma splices, pronoun-antecedent agreement, parallel structure — and buries them in passages that demand quick decisions. Abbey scored a 33 ACT composite and, as an English and Journalism major at the University of Minnesota, drills these conventions daily in her own writing. She teaches students to spot the patterns the ACT recycles so they can move through all 75 questions with confidence.

The ACT English section is really a grammar and rhetoric test disguised as a reading exercise. Marika, who scored a 32 ACT composite, teaches students to spot the handful of recurring rule patterns — comma splices, modifier placement, transition logic — that account for the majority of questions, turning a 45-minute sprint into something predictable.

I am an incoming Epidemiology and Global Health Master of Public Health student at the University of Minnesota. I received my undergraduate degree in Mathematics from Grinnell College in 2020 and also have extensive coursework in philosophy, biology, chemistry, and physics. I worked as a calculus tutor in Grinnell's math lab and tutored a professor's 8th grader in recreational math, competition problems, and ACT math test prep. I'm an alumni of the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth (CTY) and enjoy juggling, sudoku, and creating origami tessellations.

Scoring a 36 ACT composite means David aced the English section's particular blend of grammar rules and rhetorical strategy questions. He teaches students to distinguish between comma-splice traps and legitimate stylistic choices, and to read passage-level questions for what they're really asking about tone, organization, and purpose.

Scoring a 35 ACT composite means Emily knows how the English section tries to trip students up — comma splices buried in long sentences, rhetorical strategy questions disguised as grammar, and transitions that sound right but break paragraph logic. She teaches students to spot these patterns quickly so they can move through the 75 questions with confidence and time to spare.

Scoring a 35 ACT composite means Harry knows the English section inside out — the handful of grammar rules it tests repeatedly (comma splices, subject-verb agreement, pronoun clarity) and the rhetorical strategy questions that trip up even strong readers. He teaches students to spot what the question is actually asking before scanning the answer choices.

Training to teach math to grades 5-12 means Michelle spends her days making rule-based systems click for students — and the ACT English section is really just another rule-based system, testing a predictable rotation of comma rules, verb tense shifts, and rhetorical trimming decisions. Her 34 ACT composite shows she can execute under test conditions, and her math-brain approach to grammar — treat each question as a problem with one correct answer, not a style preference — tends to resonate with students who freeze when answers all 'sound fine.'

I'm a student at the University of Minnesota studying Computer Science with a minor in music. I have a wide variety of experience in many math and science subjects and programming in various languages. I know exactly what it is like to be a student in the subjects I'm tutoring, to struggle with the material, to finally get to that point understand it all. I love learning and to help others out with their work when they're struggling to learn, and I'm excited to share my passions with you!

I am a honors student at the University of Minnesota, studying aerospace engineering and computer science. As such I have a strong background in STEM, and I hope I can bring this expertise to you. As an honors student, I have taken challenging courses that go above and beyond what is required in physics, calculus, and programming. I have experience tutoring my peers at the university, and I am on track to get CRLA tutoring certified. I find that the best way to get students to learn is to connect with them at a personal level and to do example problems to get practice at applying the concepts learned from class.

Allison's 34 ACT composite and Dartmouth computer science background give her an unusual edge on the English section — she approaches grammar the way she approaches code, where one misplaced element breaks the whole structure. She teaches students to spot the logical pattern each question tests (punctuation hierarchy, parallel structure, conciseness) instead of relying on ear alone, which is especially effective for students who are strong analytically but shaky on traditional grammar. Rated 4.9 by students.

Courtney's sociology background means she's spent years dissecting dense academic prose and writing argument-driven papers — skills that translate into quick, confident editing on the ACT English section's rhetoric and organization questions. Her Spanish minor adds a second grammar system that makes English punctuation and sentence-structure rules feel less like intuition and more like a learnable code. A 34 ACT composite and 5.0 rating speak for themselves.

Comma rules, rhetorical strategy questions, and sentence-level logic puzzles make up the bulk of ACT English — and each has its own set of predictable patterns. Edward drills students on the specific grammar conventions the ACT tests most heavily, from punctuation around nonessential clauses to parallel structure in lists. His own 35 ACT composite came from exactly this kind of systematic preparation.

I'm currently a 3rd year Biomedical Engineering student who goes to the Georgia Institute of Technology. I'm a pre-medical student with a goal of becoming a physician. To reach this stage, I have had to do a lot of studying. Material doesn't naturally click with me, and I have done a lot of studying to understand it. I understand that sometimes extra tutoring is needed to help excel in a subject, and it is completely okay to get that help. I'm here to help students whose position I was previously in.

I'm a student at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities studying civil engineering. I have tutored students ranging from 3rd grade all the way through high school. I specialize in math and ACT tutoring.

Scoring a 34 ACT composite while majoring in data processing taught Anna to treat information — including English passages — as something you parse systematically, not intuitively. She zeroes in on the punctuation and sentence-structure questions by drilling the handful of grammar rules the test actually rotates, then applies that same pattern-recognition approach to the rhetorical strategy questions about paragraph flow and redundancy. Rated 5.0 by students.

Scoring a 34 ACT composite while majoring in genetics might seem like a split-brain feat, but Brian's science training actually sharpens his approach to the English section — he treats grammar rules as systematic and finite, the same way he'd learn metabolic pathways, so students walk away with a concrete toolkit instead of vague instincts about what "sounds right." He's especially effective on the rhetoric and organization questions, where his experience writing and editing in two cancer research labs means he can quickly spot redundancy and weak transitions. Rated 4.9 by students.

I'm Emma! I'm a rising senior Classics major at Carleton College in Northfield, MN. I study Latin, Ancient Greek, and the histories associated with the two languages. Outside of class, I'm an RA, and I spend 6-8 hours a week tutoring and teaching college access courses in a nearby high school. In the future, I hope to teach high school Latin!

Writing a science fiction novel and political economy essays in the same stretch sharpens a specific skill: toggling between voice and precision, knowing when prose should flow and when it needs to snap tight. Cleo applies that editorial range to the ACT English section's rhetoric and grammar questions, teaching students to spot redundancy and punctuation errors as deliberate craft choices rather than abstract rules. Her 32 ACT composite and 5.0 rating from students back up the approach.

Scoring a 35 ACT composite while juggling an electrical engineering courseload means Shrey already thinks in rules and systems — he applies that same mindset to the English section by teaching each grammar convention (comma splices, verb-tense shifts, pronoun agreement) as a fixed pattern to recognize, not a judgment call. His tutoring background running a test-prep nonprofit gave him hundreds of hours watching students make the same rhetorical strategy mistakes, so he knows exactly where to drill. Rated 4.9 by students.

I am a student at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities pursuing a BS in mathematics, as well as minors in creative writing and computer science. While I do not have any formal experience with teaching, I have spent much of my academic career tutoring friends and family to help them succeed in school, and I have personally improved the grades of many of my peers through studying sessions with me by as much as 30%. I am a friendly and casual tutor, but my enthusiasm for helping others to learn is likely my most important quality as a tutor. I would appreciate any opportunity to help you or your child to improve their school performance.

Studying Latin and ancient languages at the university level means Audrey has internalized English grammar from the outside in — she learned sentence structure through declensions, cases, and syntax rules that make ACT English conventions like subject-verb agreement and parallel structure feel almost obvious by comparison. She scored a 35 ACT composite and uses that classical-language precision to teach the punctuation and rhetorical strategy questions as rule-based decisions, not vibes. Rated 4.9 by students.

I am a graduate of Minnetonka High School and an incoming freshman at the University of Minnesota. I have done 2 years of classes at the University of Minnesota through the PSEO dual credit program. I tutor physics and math, at the high school and introductory college level. In my spare time, I like to yoyo, play chess, watch movies, and read.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Missouri in Columbia, where I earned two Bachelor of Arts degrees in French and Linguistics in May 2016. Sometime in the near future, I plan on going back to school to earn a Masters degree in translation. I have a passionate love of languages and language usage, and I derive great joy from helping others develop their skills in these areas. As such, I am a registered French, English, Writing, Essay Editing, and Grammar tutor. My goals as a tutor are to help students become more comfortable with the material that they are learning, to give them the tools necessary to develop study skills that are effective for them, and to impart upon them the same passion for learning that I possess, because I have seen that passion is a great motivator and tends to predict remarkable improvement. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy writing creatively, trying to teach myself different languages (right now it's Japanese), playing the saxophone, and going on nature walks.

Investigating financial crimes at U.S. Bank means Josephine reads dense, jargon-heavy documents all day and edits them down to clear, defensible summaries — the exact muscle the ACT English section tests when it asks about conciseness, transition logic, and cutting redundant phrasing. Her 34 ACT composite and applied mathematics minor reflect someone who treats grammar questions as rule-based puzzles rather than vibes-based guesses. Rated 5.0 by students.

Scoring a 35 ACT composite while studying Management Information Systems means Amy lives in both worlds the English section draws on — structured, rule-based thinking for grammar questions and clear communication skills honed through business writing. She's especially effective at teaching students to stop debating between two "close" answer choices by identifying which specific convention (punctuation, verb form, rhetorical purpose) each question is actually testing. Her background in Mandarin Chinese also gives her a second-language perspective on English grammar that makes tricky modifier and sentence-structure questions easier to explain from scratch.

I am good at (math and science) and what I'm passionate about (teaching others) to empower students to achieve their goals.

I'm Logan! I'm currently a student at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, majoring in data science. My coding language of choice is Python, in which I have 5 plus years of formal and informal education/experience. Prior to college, I worked as a youth sports coach and camp coordinator, which has given me the skills and values needed to be a successful tutor. Moreover, during college, I've been working with younger students and have been tutoring them through their own python coursework.

Writing across physics lab reports, college essays, and literature coursework means Jane constantly switches between technical precision and creative prose — two registers that build a sharp instinct for the grammar and rhetoric questions the ACT English section cycles through. She scored a 33 ACT composite and is especially useful for students who write well but freeze when asked to explain the rule behind a comma splice or a misplaced modifier. Rated 4.9 by students.

Actuarial science training means Alex spends his days parsing dense, rule-bound language where a misplaced word changes everything — a habit that carries over to the ACT English section's punctuation and sentence structure questions, where precision beats intuition. His 33 ACT composite backs up an approach that treats each underlined portion as a quick decision between specific grammar conventions rather than a debate about what sounds natural.

I am a software engineer and logistics specialist with a B.S. from the College of Science & Engineering at the University of Minnesota.

Studying both Political Science and Spanish means Danae writes and edits across two very different rhetorical traditions daily — tight argumentative essays and precise grammatical constructions in a second language — which builds the kind of rule-based editing reflex the ACT English section rewards over gut instinct. She scored a 33 ACT composite and is especially effective at breaking down the punctuation and sentence-structure questions where knowing the actual rule (not just what sounds okay) is the difference between a 28 and a 33. Rated 4.9 by students.
