Philosophy taught Galen to say exactly what he means and nothing more — a discipline that maps almost perfectly onto the ACT English section's conciseness and rhetorical strategy questions, where the correct answer is usually the one that cuts the most words without losing meaning. He scored a 34 ACT composite and approaches each passage as an exercise in tightening prose, teaching students the specific punctuation and transition rules the test cycles through so they stop relying on what "sounds right." Rated 5.0 by students.

The best part of tutoring is promoting students' long-term success through mastery of reading, writing, math, study skills, organization, and critical thinking. In particular, I enjoy helping students build test-taking strategies and core skills for the ACT, SAT, and other admissions tests. I also support pre-K and K-12 students learning math and ELA. Before joining Varsity, I tutored in a Reading and Writing Lab for university students with learning disabilities where I earned a College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA) certification. Since joining Varsity, I have completed continuing education through the Lastinger Center for Learning. I graduated from the University of Arizona in 2021 with a BA in Cultural Anthropology. In addition to tutoring, I have worked as an instructional aide for an art program, an applied anthropology researcher, and a nonprofit program coordinator. Out of all these experiences, I enjoy tutoring the most. I look forward to working with you!

The ACT English section tests grammar and rhetorical skills at speed — comma rules, subject-verb agreement, and paragraph-level organization all in 45 minutes. Rebia, who scored a 33 ACT composite, breaks each passage into discrete decision points so students learn to spot what's actually being tested in every underlined portion. Rated 5.0 by students.

Scoring a 36 ACT composite while juggling a chemical engineering curriculum at Washington and Lee means Alex learned to read and edit fast — a skill that pays off on the English section's 75 questions in 45 minutes, where hesitation on any single punctuation or rhetoric question eats into the clock. His medical school training at Arizona adds another layer: writing and revising under pressure is now second nature, and he teaches the section's recurring patterns (verb-tense shifts, pronoun agreement, passage-level organization) as a systematic checklist rather than a feel-it-out exercise.

I'm a performer at heart so I love to sing and dance; however, there's nothing better than a night on the town with a few friends!

Most ACT English mistakes come down to a handful of grammar rules applied inconsistently — comma splices, pronoun-antecedent agreement, and misplaced modifiers account for a huge share of missed points. Lindsay, who scored a 35 composite, teaches students to spot these patterns by reading like an editor rather than a test-taker. Once students learn to hear the error before they see the answer choices, their accuracy and speed both jump.

Jacob's psychology and theater training made him a close reader of subtext — figuring out what a sentence is trying to do and whether it's actually doing it, which is the exact skill behind the ACT English section's rhetorical strategy and passage organization questions. His 35 ACT composite and 5.0 rating back up an approach that teaches grammar conventions as a short, memorizable rulebook rather than a guessing game. He's especially sharp on the conciseness questions where students need to recognize that the shortest correct answer is almost always the right one.

Scoring a perfect 36 ACT composite while double-tracking biology and English at Yale gave Alice an unusual editorial range — she's equally comfortable dissecting a dense science passage and tightening a clunky rhetorical transition, which is exactly the versatility the English section demands across its varied passage types. She teaches the punctuation and sentence-structure rules as a short, memorizable system, then drills students on the rhetorical strategy questions where knowing what a passage is *trying to do* matters more than what sounds right.

I'm a graduate of Arizona State University with Barrett, the Honors College. I received my BSE in biomedical engineering in 2022 and I'll finish my education with an MS in 2023. I've tutored math (K-12) since 2016 with an emphasis on algebra and high school test prep concepts. It's never too early or too late to build foundational math skills. I believe a student at any age or level can benefit from practicing core skills while introducing logical and efficient solutions into their math repertoire!

Most ACT English mistakes come down to five or six grammar patterns — misplaced modifiers, comma rules, parallel structure, verb tense consistency, and wordiness. Gordon drills students on recognizing these patterns at speed, since the 45-minute time limit means decisions need to be almost automatic. He also tackles the rhetorical strategy questions by teaching students to read for paragraph-level purpose, not just sentence-level correctness.

I am not studying or performing research, I enjoy playing video games, card games, or role-playing games with my friends. I also am an amateur engineer, participating in the online community of laser enthusiasts. Together, we construct circuitry, design housings, and align lenses to create not laser pens for pets, but high-powered, scientific lab lasers.

I'm a rising sophomore at Georgia Institute of Technology. I love teaching and got a lot of practice from tutoring my brother. Physics is probably my favorite subject to teach.

I'm a 24-year old teacher/tutor. I am a very personable, outgoing person and I enjoy making connections with others- especially when I can make people feel comfortable no matter what the setting- and I find that those who have less to say usually have the most important things to say! Tutoring provides me with a platform in which I am able to help others gain confidence in their work and watch them discover abilities they may not have known that they have. Above all, this is what I most love about tutoring and teaching.

I am music educator passionate about providing you the individualized assistance you require. I believe in providing engaging, real-life applications of concepts to maximize student interest and growth in subject areas.

I'm a college student at ASU studying Finance but I used to be an engineer so I have completed all math classes up to Calculus 3 including differential equations and linear algebra. I just have a passion for mathematics and I love to help others. Hopefully I can get them to not only understand math but also help them find a liking for mathematics.

Most ACT English mistakes come down to three things: comma rules, pronoun agreement, and transition words. Taylor's English background means she doesn't just flag the right answer — she explains the underlying grammar logic so students can spot errors by ear and by rule. Her 32 ACT composite backs up an approach that balances speed with accuracy across all 75 questions.

Serving as a teaching assistant for a Socratic-seminar writing course at Barrett Honors College meant Madeleine spent semesters reading freshman prose and flagging exactly the issues the ACT English section loves to test — run-on sentences, misplaced commas, and transitions that don't actually connect ideas. Her applied math background adds a systematic edge: she teaches grammar conventions as a fixed set of rules to apply in order, which tends to unlock speed for students who freeze up trying to decide what "sounds right." She scored a 33 ACT composite and holds a 5.0 rating.

I am one of a rare breed of native Arizonans born and raised in Tucson, Arizona. I graduated from the University of Arizona with a bachelor's degree in Astrophysics and a Master's degree in Teaching and Teacher Education. Before getting the master's degree in education I worked for NASA as an entry-level scientist/analyst, which essentially means I did A LOT of computer programming. I worked on the following projects: Galileo, Cassini, IRAF, UBV White-Dwarf Sky Survey, and NICMOS on the HST. However, while working on those projects I quickly discovered that my lifelong dream of being an astronaut was not really what I wanted to do. I had always had a passion for music, and was a good trumpet player, and with a little nudging from my College Band Director, well, the road definitely took a right turn.

Theater training builds a surprisingly useful skill for the ACT English section: Tucker spent years analyzing scripts for rhythm, structure, and intent, which translates directly into the rhetorical strategy questions about author purpose and passage organization. His 33 ACT composite and 5.0 rating confirm he backs up that instinct with the hard grammar rules — he teaches the punctuation and sentence-structure conventions as a short, memorizable playbook so students stop second-guessing what "sounds right."

Applying to law school means Alexis lives in the world of precise, persuasive writing — catching redundancies, tightening arguments, and making every word earn its place, which is essentially what the ACT English section asks you to do 75 times in 45 minutes. Her 32 ACT composite and triple-major background in the humanities give her a deep comfort with the passage-level rhetoric and organization questions, not just the punctuation drills. Rated 5.0 by students.

The ACT English section tests grammar rules students think they know — comma splices, subject-verb agreement across long clauses, and rhetorical strategy questions that trip up even strong writers. Courtney breaks each question type into a decision tree so students can identify the tested rule in seconds rather than relying on what "sounds right." Rated 5.0 by students, she scored a 32 ACT composite herself.

I am a Math and Science expert, and I would love to help you or your student reach their potential. I offer flexible hours, I am easy to get along with, and I have effective methods. I take pride in helping others learn. I have a BS in mechanical engineering so there isn't a high school or college math class I haven't taken. I'm a Physics dork as well! Outside of tutoring, I love the outdoors, sports (especially the Cardinals and Suns!), and science-fiction. I look forward to working with you!

I am a recent graduate of Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas with a B.S. in Neuroscience cum laude. I am living in Austin until I begin medical school in July. Tutoring has always been a hobby of mine, and I continued my passion for teaching during college by being the Peer Tutor for a Statistics course and a Biology course at Trinity. Additionally, I tutored middle and high school students in the San Antonio community while working for a company similar to Varsity Tutoring. My favorite part of being a tutor is seeing the light-bulb moment happen for my students when they finally grasp a concept they???ve been struggling with. Usually with my students and as a student myself, I find that explaining concepts in a different way with language that is more understandable or connecting it to real-world experiences goes a long way. As a competitive swimmer for the past 15 years and the captain of my college team, I understand the desire students have for excelling in both the classroom and in their extracurricular activities and the struggle that can occur between balancing them. Besides tutoring, I enjoy traveling, spending time with my family and my dog, and cooking!

I am a rising senior at Emory University majoring in Biology, B.S. on a pre-med track in the Biology Honors Program. In my sophomore year, I was a math and literacy tutor at Emory Reads where I worked with students at Ivy Prep Academy, Atlanta GA. Now, I lead review sessions for my fellow classmates in organic chemistry and biology to prepare for upcoming exams. In my past tutoring experiences and review sessions, I always used different colors and incorporated diagrams to improve conceptual understanding because I firmly believe every problem can be solved; if we have a solid foundation and truly understand a concept, we can apply it to any given scenario and figure out the solution. In order to make sure of this, I always encourage students to ask questions until all doubts have been cleared before moving on to decrease gaps in understanding. I can help with math, english, biology, chemistry, and physics although I think my favorite subjects to tutor would have to be Organic Chemistry and Human Physiology! I sincerely enjoy teaching these subjects and hope to show the students just how fascinating they can really be.

Punctuation rules and rhetorical strategy questions trip up most ACT English test-takers, and Claire addresses both by teaching students to hear sentence structure — where a comma actually belongs, why a transition word changes an argument's direction. She scored a 32 ACT composite and now applies that same analytical precision to her medical coursework and the medical ethics course she taught at Midwestern.

Scoring a 34 ACT composite, Ben knows the English section inside out — the way it tests comma rules, verb agreement, and rhetorical strategy in rapid succession. He teaches students to recognize what each question is really asking, which cuts through the temptation to rely on what "sounds right." His background in English and extensive writing experience make grammar and rhetoric second nature.

Law school trains you to read sentences the way the ACT English section demands — zeroing in on whether every word earns its place, whether clauses connect logically, and whether punctuation follows actual rules instead of instinct. Mladen's JD and psychology background mean he can break down both the grammar conventions and the rhetorical strategy questions, especially the ones about passage organization and redundancy that reward careful editorial thinking. His 33 ACT composite confirms the approach works under real test conditions.

Law school at Tulane trained Andrew to edit ruthlessly — trimming redundant clauses, tightening transitions, and enforcing parallel structure in legal briefs, which mirrors exactly what the ACT English section demands at speed. His history and economics background at Northwestern added years of argumentative writing that sharpened his ear for rhetorical strategy questions, particularly the add/delete and paragraph-placement types that pure grammar review won't cover. Rated 4.9 by students with a 32 ACT composite to back it up.

I'm Kelly and I love everything about language. I became an avid reader at a young age, and it's stuck with me my entire life. My favorite stories are those that engage both intellect and emotions. And I love the infinite possibilities that come with constructing a good story. I'm honored to serve as a teacher and mentor to all my students!

Most ACT English mistakes come down to three things: comma rules, pronoun agreement, and rhetorical strategy questions that students rush through. Kyle drills students on recognizing these specific question types so they can move through the 75 questions efficiently and with purpose. His own 32 ACT composite backs up the approach.

Working in Arizona State's writing center means Liliana reads and edits student prose all day — catching comma splices, tightening wordy sentences, and restructuring weak paragraphs, which mirrors exactly what the ACT English section asks you to do under a 45-minute clock. Her Spanish and Anthropology double major adds a multilingual awareness of grammar rules that makes her especially clear when explaining why a punctuation or sentence-structure answer is correct, not just which one "sounds better." She scored a 32 ACT composite and brings that same patient, editorial approach to every passage.

Scoring a 32 ACT composite, Isabel knows the English section rewards a specific skill: hearing the difference between correct and awkward phrasing in context. She drills punctuation rules, subject-verb agreement, and rhetorical strategy questions until students can spot errors at the pace the test demands.

I am attending Arizona State, and to follow my passion for helping others out. Recently, I have volunteered in hospitals, as well as partaken in many formal tutoring programs, such as a class in my high school in which the subject material was the best way to encourage and motivate students for long term success.

Scoring a perfect 36 ACT composite while studying Industrial Engineering at Georgia Tech means Ilesh learned to treat every problem — including grammar — as a system with rules you can map and apply. He zeroes in on the English section's punctuation and sentence structure questions by teaching the handful of patterns the test actually recycles, so students stop second-guessing what "sounds right" and start recognizing what's structurally correct. Rated 5.0 by students.

Scoring a 36 ACT composite means John knows exactly how the English section tries to trip students up — from comma splice traps to rhetorical strategy questions buried in transition sentences. His English and Drama background gives him a natural ear for the grammar and style conventions the test rewards, and he teaches students to spot the patterns that make 75 questions in 45 minutes manageable.

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 higher speed. She scored a 36 ACT composite and teaches the rhetorical strategy questions (paragraph placement, writer's-goal prompts, transition logic) as structured decision trees rather than subjective judgment calls. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am currently a resident physician at Northwestern Hospital.

Scoring a perfect 36 ACT composite means Sugi knows exactly how the English section tests grammar — from comma splices and apostrophe rules to rhetorical strategy questions about paragraph organization. She breaks each question type into a decision tree so students can identify what's being tested before they even look at the answer choices. Rated 5.0 by students.
