Yash
BA Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus
5+ Years Tutoring

I am a sophomore at the Georgia Institute of Technology and am working towards a major in Computer Engineering. I have been tutoring students of all ages and backgrounds in various math topics ranging from elementary school math to AP Calculus throughout high school. I love teaching math and always find it amazing to watch my students grow and improve in their mathematical abilities. While helping students with standardized testing, we go through several tricks and tactics that have helped my students succeed and have fun in the process. I am also well versed in Physics and have spent 3 years taking the highest levels of physics courses. I love playing all sports (especially soccer) and enjoy playing the guitar in my free time as well.

Certified ACT English Tutor
Vansh
BA Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus
9+ Years Tutoring

The IB program drills a particular kind of writing discipline — structured arguments, precise language, relentless editing — and Vansh carried that training straight into his aerospace engineering work at Georgia Tech, where technical writing leaves zero room for ambiguity. That combination makes him especially sharp on the ACT English questions testing conciseness and sentence placement, where students need to cut wordiness and reorganize logic under time pressure rather than just fix punctuation. His 36 ACT composite and 5.0 rating back it up.

Michael
BFA NYU Shanghai
9+ Years Tutoring

The ACT English section tests grammar rules most students never formally learned — comma splices, modifier placement, rhetorical strategy questions that ask you to rearrange or delete sentences. Michael scored a 36 composite and breaks each question type into a decision tree so students stop relying on what "sounds right" and start applying consistent logic. Rated 4.9 by students.

I am no longer by their side. I seldom have students rely on "tricks"; instead, students will learn the underlying reasoning so that they can extend their solving methods to new related problem types. I look forward to applying my years of tutoring and teaching experience to help many motivated students.

1+ Years Tutoring

Scoring a 36 ACT composite means Parker knows exactly how the English section tests grammar — from comma splices and apostrophe rules to rhetorical strategy questions about paragraph placement and transitions.

Harrison
BA University of Central Florida
5+ Years Tutoring

Scoring a 35 ACT while pursuing an interdisciplinary science degree means Harrison has spent years toggling between dense technical writing and timed standardized tests — a combination that builds the fast, rule-based editing reflexes the English section demands. He zeroes in on the verb tense consistency and pronoun agreement questions that science-minded students tend to overthink, teaching them to treat each underlined portion as a quick pattern match rather than a stylistic judgment call. Rated 4.9 by students.

Lia
BA University
8+ Years Tutoring

I am a certified Math 5-9 Teacher in FL. I taught middle and high school for two years. I am a graduate of Florida State University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Social Science with a focus in Public Administration and Sociology. After graduation, I took a gap year before graduate school to serve in AmeriCorps. I highly recommend it! I currently do photography and work at a startup. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Math. I have worked with students in grades K-12. I cater to each student's individual learning style. In my experience, it is always rewarding seeing my students have that "aha moment" when they understand a concept or when their confidence and attitude towards a subject has changed from when we started. This in turn is reflected in their improved test scores and grades in the class. I am a firm believer in fully investing in my students to help them reach their highest potential.

Ankit
BA Duke University
8+ Years Tutoring

Most ACT English mistakes come down to three things: comma rules, pronoun agreement, and transitions between ideas. Ankit earned a perfect 36 ACT composite and approaches the English section as a set of learnable patterns rather than gut-feeling grammar. He drills students on recognizing exactly which rule each question tests so they can move through all 75 questions with confidence and time to spare.

Apoorva
BA University of Illinois at Chicago
1+ Years Tutoring

Apoorva's biomedical engineering training at UIC meant writing lab reports and technical documents where every comma, transition, and word choice had to survive peer review — the same editing reflexes the ACT English section tests at speed. She scored a 34 ACT composite and teaches the section's punctuation and conciseness questions as a closed set of rules to memorize and apply, which clicks especially well for STEM-minded students who distrust "going by ear."

I am graduated from Penn State University in Industrial Engineering in 2017. I've tutored ever since I was in high school, and I love helping people! I like to help my students understand math (and other topics) instead of just doing it blindly.

Fun fact, I used to work for Disney and I like to salsa dance!

Frequently Asked Questions

Score improvement depends on your starting point and commitment level, but most students see meaningful gains within 8-12 weeks of focused preparation. Students working with tutors typically improve 2-4 points on the English section through targeted practice on grammar rules, rhetorical skills, and test-specific strategies. The key is identifying your weak areas early—whether that's punctuation, sentence structure, or passage comprehension—and drilling those consistently.

The ACT English section has 75 questions across 5 passages and tests two main skill areas: Usage/Mechanics (punctuation, grammar, sentence structure) and Rhetorical Skills (style, organization, strategy). You'll need to identify errors, improve sentences, and understand how ideas flow within and between paragraphs. Many students find the rhetorical questions trickier than grammar because they require reading comprehension alongside writing knowledge.

You have 45 minutes for 75 questions—roughly 36 seconds per question—so pacing is critical. Most students benefit from reading each passage quickly (1-2 minutes), then tackling questions in order without getting stuck on any single question for more than 45 seconds. A tutor can help you identify whether you're losing time on reading comprehension or overthinking grammar rules, then build a personalized strategy that plays to your strengths.

The biggest mistakes are rushing through passages without fully understanding them, overthinking straightforward grammar questions, and not recognizing rhetorical question patterns. Many students also struggle with comma rules, pronoun-antecedent agreement, and identifying the best word choice for tone and style. Working through practice tests with a tutor helps you spot your personal patterns—whether you're weak on specific grammar concepts or just need better test-taking habits.

Your first session focuses on understanding where you stand. You'll likely take a diagnostic practice test or review past ACT English work to identify your specific weak areas—whether that's grammar fundamentals, passage comprehension, or test strategy. From there, a tutor can create a focused study plan that targets your gaps and builds confidence before test day.

Practice tests are essential—they're the best way to build familiarity with question formats, develop your pacing strategy, and identify patterns in what you're missing. Taking full practice tests under timed conditions helps you understand whether you're struggling with content knowledge or test-taking skills. A tutor can review your practice test results with you, pinpoint exactly which grammar concepts or question types are tripping you up, and adjust your study plan accordingly.

Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or unsure about question formats—both things tutoring directly addresses. Building confidence through consistent practice, learning proven test-taking strategies, and understanding exactly what to expect on test day all reduce anxiety significantly. Many students also benefit from learning how to skip difficult questions strategically and come back to them, which removes the pressure of solving every problem perfectly.

Look for tutors with strong ACT English scores themselves, proven experience helping students improve their scores, and knowledge of both grammar content and test-specific strategies. It's also valuable if they understand the rhetorical skills section deeply—not just grammar—since that's where many students struggle.
