I'm Veena and I recently graduated from the University of Miami with a B.S. in Microbiology and Immunology with Chemistry and English Literature as my minors. I've tutored at a Math and Reading learning center in high school and became an employee of the Academic Resource Center at UM where I tutored my peers in STEM subjects. I was an assistant science teacher at a middle school for a year, and a workshop leader for chemistry classes at UM.

Civil engineering coursework at UF means Cavan reads technical documents all day where a misplaced modifier or ambiguous pronoun can change the meaning of a structural specification — that same precision applies to the ACT English section's grammar and rhetoric questions. He scored a 33 ACT composite and teaches the punctuation and sentence-structure rules as a closed system students can memorize and apply mechanically, which frees up time for the trickier passage-organization questions. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am currently studying at St. John’s College for my Bachelor of Arts in the Liberal Arts. St. John’s curriculum follows the Great Books Program which relies on primary sources instead of textbooks. During my time at St. John’s, I have volunteered as a tutor working with middle school students, focusing on Reading, Writing, and Mathematics. I have also tutored students in US history, Government, and World Religions. I have enjoyed tutoring English and Literature the most as I find it very rewarding to help students find material that they not only enjoy, but connect to and use to understand their own lives. In this age, technology has made information freely available to everyone. I think that it is extremely important to teach students how to find, processes and critically reflect on this wealth of resources. I find that it is equally important to nurture a student’s curiosity by demonstrating how lessons taught in the classroom can be applied to their unique passion. My own passions include writing, reading anything from philosophy to comic books, and playing video games.

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."

Growing up bilingual in a Colombian household and then adding French through study abroad gave Manuela an intuitive grasp of how grammar rules operate beneath the surface of any language — exactly the kind of structural awareness that makes the ACT English section's punctuation and sentence-structure questions feel systematic rather than ambiguous. She scored a 32 ACT composite and uses her Romance Languages training to unpack why English conventions like parallel structure and verb tense shifts follow predictable patterns. Rated 5.0 by students.

Punctuation rules, rhetorical strategy, and sentence structure make up the bulk of ACT English, and each one has a finite set of patterns the test recycles. Payal teaches students to identify those patterns — when a dash pair signals a nonessential clause, when "however" needs a semicolon, when a question is really asking about tone. Rated 5.0 by students, she brings the same precision to grammar that her physics training demands in problem-solving.

I am working towards a Bachelor of Arts in Pure and Applied Mathematics as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Astronomy and Physics. I have enjoyed studying math and science since I was in elementary school. I would always help my friends out by answering their questions about the material. For about the last five years, I have had my own tutoring business where I have tutored a wide variety of math courses from elementary school math to pre-calculus and calculus. I like to make sure my students have a complete understanding of the core concepts before going into practice questions. I have also had experience helping my peers with physics and computer science courses.

I like helping students. I am very patient. I have experience teaching Calculus classes at the University of Miami. I have done private tutoring for all levels of math up to Calculus, as well as Statistics, Business Math, and Math Finance. I have worked in the actuarial field. I have an undergraduate degree in mathematics from Michigan State University and a Master's degree in mathematics from the University of Miami. I worked for The Princeton Review as a tutor for the SAT. I did very well on both the SAT and ACT, and like teaching students how to do better on those. I like history, too, and always find it fun to tutor history.

The ACT English section tests grammar and rhetorical choices at speed — 75 questions in 45 minutes — so students need to recognize comma splices, subject-verb disagreements, and redundancy almost on instinct. Andrew pairs his Writing minor with a 33 ACT composite to drill the specific patterns that appear most often. He walks through each question type until students can spot the error before they finish reading the sentence.

Law school-bound and steeped in the kind of argumentative writing that demands airtight grammar, Noah approaches the ACT English section as a set of editing decisions — trimming redundancy, fixing verb-tense shifts, and choosing the transition that actually moves an argument forward. His 32 ACT composite and economics background mean he tackles the passage-organization questions with a logical, structure-first mindset rather than relying on what "sounds right."

I am a rising senior at Duke University who is Pre Med and majoring in Asian and Middle Eastern Studies. I was born and raised in Miami FL and went to public school until college (Sunset Elementary, GW Carver Middle and Coral Reef Senior High for those from Miami). I decided to start tutoring because I would not be on this path had I not had good teachers supporting me along the way. For that reason I want to be able to help others achieve their goals without academics being a huge hurdle.
