Frequently Asked Questions
Your first session is designed to understand your current strengths and challenges. A tutor will review your recent practice tests or ACT scores, identify patterns in the types of questions you struggle with (grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, or rhetorical skills), and discuss your target score and timeline. This assessment helps create a personalized study plan tailored to your needs.
Score improvement varies based on your starting point, effort, and consistency. Students typically see meaningful gains of 2-4 points within 8-12 weeks of regular tutoring, though some improve faster depending on their baseline and how quickly they apply strategies. The ACT English section (1-36 scale) rewards mastery of specific grammar rules and question patterns—areas where personalized instruction makes a real difference.
The ACT English section gives you 45 minutes for 75 questions, which requires both speed and accuracy. Tutors teach strategic approaches like identifying question types quickly, knowing which errors to prioritize, and using elimination techniques to save time on harder questions. Practice with timed drills helps you build confidence and find a rhythm that works for your pace.
Most students struggle with comma rules, subject-verb agreement, and distinguishing between similar grammatical concepts. Others find rhetorical skills questions (about word choice, sentence placement, and organization) tricky because they require reading comprehension alongside grammar knowledge. A tutor can pinpoint your specific weak areas through diagnostic practice tests and target those gaps directly.
Practice tests are essential—they help you understand the question format, identify patterns in your mistakes, and build stamina for test day. Varsity Tutors recommends taking full practice tests every 2-3 weeks and reviewing them thoroughly with a tutor to understand why you missed questions. This combination of testing and targeted instruction accelerates improvement far more than studying grammar rules alone.
Look for someone with strong ACT English scores themselves, experience teaching grammar and test-taking strategies, and the ability to explain concepts clearly. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand both the content and the strategic side of the test—they know which rules appear most frequently, how to spot question patterns, and how to build your confidence under timed conditions.
Most students benefit from 1-2 sessions per week over 8-12 weeks, though your ideal schedule depends on your starting score and test date. Consistent, focused sessions work better than cramming—this allows time to practice strategies between meetings and solidify your understanding. Your tutor can recommend a schedule based on your goals and current performance.
Absolutely. Much test anxiety comes from uncertainty about what to expect or how to approach questions. Working through practice tests with a tutor builds familiarity and confidence—you'll know exactly what's coming and have proven strategies to handle it. Tutors also teach pacing and stress-management techniques that help you stay calm and focused during the actual test.
