I am pursuing a career in dentistry/oral surgery and will be beginning dental school at Boston University this fall. For this reason I recently took the DAT, which I am capable of assisting you with as well. During my undergraduate education, which I completed this past December, I worked in my school's tutoring center, helping my peers succeed in mathematics and science courses. Outside of my academic life, I am a big sports fan and I mostly follow the New York sports teams. For fun, I like to play basketball and golf with my friends. I am looking forward towards getting to know you and helping you with your academic needs.

Ten years of teaching algebra, philosophy, and SAT prep means Grant has spent thousands of hours explaining rule-based systems to students — and the ACT English section is exactly that: a finite set of grammar and rhetoric rules disguised as a reading exercise. His 33 ACT composite and dual background in math and psychology give him an unusual angle on the section's trickiest questions, where logical elimination beats trying to hear which answer "sounds right."

Most ACT English mistakes come down to a handful of grammar patterns — comma splices, pronoun-antecedent agreement, and misplaced modifiers account for a huge share of the 75 questions. Ved scored a 36 composite and teaches students to spot these recurring structures quickly so they can move through the section with time to spare. He also unpacks the rhetorical strategy questions, which many students overlook during prep.

Scoring a 35 ACT composite as a high school junior gave Sid firsthand experience with the time pressure and second-guessing that derail students on the English section's rapid-fire grammar questions. He teaches a planning-first approach — identifying whether each question tests punctuation, sentence structure, or rhetorical flow before even looking at answer choices, which cuts down on the "sounds right" trap. Rated 5.0 by students.

Most ACT English mistakes come down to about fifteen grammar and punctuation rules that the test cycles through relentlessly — comma splices, pronoun agreement, redundancy, and parallel structure among them. Raaga isolates these rules one at a time, then runs students through timed passage drills until spotting errors becomes automatic. She earned a 36 ACT composite, so she's applied these same strategies under real test pressure.

Finance students read dense prospectuses and earnings reports all day — Rahul's business program at Babson built the same quick-editing reflex that the ACT English section rewards, especially on conciseness and redundancy questions where the shortest correct answer usually wins. His 35 ACT composite confirms he can move through all 75 questions at pace, and he teaches the punctuation and transition rules as a checklist rather than a guessing game.

Studying applied math at Stanford means Alex spends most of his time building logical arguments — a habit that turns out to be exactly what the ACT English section's rhetorical strategy and passage organization questions demand, since they're really asking whether a piece of writing holds together structurally. His 35 ACT composite and 4.8 rating show he can apply that analytical precision to the grammar and conciseness questions too, teaching the punctuation and transition rules as a system rather than a guessing game.

I am a sophomore at Emory University studying Economics and Global Health. I am a native of Edison, New Jersey and a graduate of John P. Stevens High School. Going through the college application process is nothing if not stressful, but after a few years of analyzing my mistakes and observing others, there are many things that I wish I had known earlier. I am here to provide assistance to high school students looking to excel and meet their goals. It is difficult to meet the expectations of top colleges and universities, but with me in your corner, I hope that burden gets a little lighter.

Roshan's 35 ACT composite came partly from treating the English section like a pre-med lab practical — systematic, rule-based, and fast. He teaches students to spot the handful of punctuation and sentence-structure patterns the test keeps recycling, turning what feels like subjective editing into a repeatable process. Rated 5.0 by students.

Marissa studies both Psychology and Spanish at Rutgers, which means she's constantly switching between APA-style precision and literary analysis — two modes of writing that build the exact editing reflexes the ACT English section demands in 45 minutes. Her 35 ACT composite backs up an approach that zeroes in on the rhetorical strategy and conciseness questions where students need to think like writers making deliberate choices, not just grammar checkers scanning for errors.

I am a current student at Yale University pursuing a degree in English. Since I was little, writing and storytelling has been one of my biggest passions. Though back then, I often told stories to my friends and family as though they were truth, once they helped me find the page I've had much, much more success. I have been tutoring kids since I was in high school, but I've also spent many hours working with kids on the baseball diamond as a coach, as well as as a camp counselor. My philosophy is that I know how hard and difficult (and sometimes annoying) high school English and History classes can be, and my goal is to try and bring a little fun back into the material while making sure we do what it takes to master your craft as a budding young writer, whether in a rhetorical analysis of Pride and Prejudice or in your CommonApp personal essay.

Punctuation rules and rhetorical strategy questions on the ACT English section trip up students for different reasons — one is about memorizing conventions, the other about reading like an editor. Shalin breaks the 75 questions into those two skill buckets and drills each separately, so students stop guessing on comma placement and start recognizing when a sentence is being added for tone versus evidence. His 32 ACT composite backs up the method.
