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.

I am double majoring in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology and Philosophy at Emory University. I genuinely enjoy working with students to achieve their academic goals. I have experience teaching children and adolescents language skills, science, and math. In my free time, I can mostly be found outside hiking, running, or doing yoga.
Neuroscience writing at WashU demands ruthless clarity — Ethan edits dense research prose daily, which builds the exact reflex the ACT English section rewards when it asks you to tighten wordy sentences, fix misplaced modifiers, and choose the right transition between ideas. His 35 ACT composite means he's already proven he can apply those editing instincts at speed under test conditions.
I'm always up for the challenge of changing my methods of instruction and breaking down topics to foster a deeper understanding of a subject. On a different note, I generally spend my spare time playing lacrosse or running outdoors when possible. I also play the violin with a school quartet, and teach lessons to beginning students working through the Suzuki program.
Latin studies build an unusually explicit grasp of grammar — Tyler spent years parsing sentence structures, verb forms, and modifier relationships in a language where you can't fake it by ear, and that translates directly to the ACT English section's punctuation and sentence structure questions. He pairs that grammatical precision with a 35 ACT composite and a systematic approach to the rhetorical strategy questions, teaching students to treat each passage as a quick editing task with predictable, rule-based solutions.
Scoring a 35 ACT composite meant Jennifer had to master the English section's particular blend of grammar rules and rhetorical strategy questions — two skill sets that require different approaches. She teaches students to distinguish between "fix the error" questions and "improve the passage" questions on sight, so they're applying the right thinking before they even read the answer choices.
I am currently a graduate student at Georgia Tech studying Prosthetics and Orthotics. My career goal is to become a certified prosthetist/orthotist, which means I would make and fit artificial limbs (prostheses) to patients who need them as well as make and fit assistive devices that support existing body parts (orthoses) to treat various conditions.
As a physics student at Georgia Tech, Burhanuddin writes technical prose all day — lab reports, proofs, problem explanations — which builds the exact editing reflex the ACT English section demands when it asks you to fix dangling modifiers, cut redundancy, or choose the right transition between ideas. His 35 ACT composite confirms he executes under timed pressure, and he teaches the section's punctuation and sentence-structure rules as a systematic toolkit rather than a guessing game. Rated 5.0 by students.
I am a Biotechnology Master's Student at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zurich. I completed my undergraduate degree in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from Georgia Tech in 2018 while minoring in Biomedical Engineering. My passion is researching novel ways to use ethically derived induced pluripotent stem cells in both research and therapeutic environments, and I love to share my knowledge and excitement for science, math, and language with others.
I'm a a high school graduate headed off to college at Haverford, a top college near Philly. I specialize in both math and writing, often tutoring my friends and volunteering at the writing center. I've taken many dual enrollment math courses at local colleges, including Calculus 1,2, and 3, as well as linear algebra. I also do a lot of test prep, as I've actually taken the SAT 5 times and scored a 1590, so I'm very used to standardized testing. I love helping people, so I hope I can help you!
Before becoming a college prep administrator, Marion spent years as a high school science teacher — which means she's read (and red-penned) thousands of student paragraphs full of exactly the comma errors, wordy phrasing, and shaky transitions the ACT English section loves to test. Her 34 ACT composite and Masters in Education back up an approach built on teaching the section's finite rule set so students can move through all 75 questions with confidence rather than guesswork. Rated 5.0 by students.
I'm Thomas, a sophomore Computer Science student at Georgia Tech. While I may be a STEM major at a tech school, I've always been skilled in reading and writing, never earning less than A in an English class throughout my academic career. If you're looking for someone with a high success rate in English, whether it be standardized testing or general writing, you're in the right place. In high school, I received a perfect score on the SAT writing section (only missed perfect on Verbal by 10 points), won first place in the UIL Regional Ready Writing Contest, and served as an editor on the school newspaper. While completing my university English requirement, I created an online tour stop for Atlanta's National Center for Civil and Human Rights.
I'm Adel, a native of Atlanta, GA and graduate of Georgia Tech. I love playing basketball, football, eating all kinds of great food, catching the newest movie or new TV show and most of all, hanging out with my friends and family. I have been tutoring since my freshmen year in college a variety of subjects including Mathematics, English and Science. With my youngest brother in high school and my youngest sister in elementary school, I have constant exposure to different levels and types of academic subjects.
Minoring in both mathematics and French at UAB gave Varshini an unusual double fluency — she learned English grammar conventions analytically, the way a multilingual student does, while her neuroscience major demanded the kind of tight, precise writing that mirrors what the ACT English section rewards. She scored a 34 ACT composite and zeroes in on the verb tense consistency and sentence placement questions where students who rely on instinct alone tend to lose easy points.
I am a rising junior in Cornell University in the College of Engineering. Currently, I am studying Computer Science and Education with the goal of becoming a high school teacher for Mathematics and Computer Science. I have educated others in a wide variety of age groups and settings from public schools to private tutoring to summer camps. With the rise of computer science and programming I have firsthand experience on what the future of someone pursuing that field is like and how to prepare and stay motivated in that field. In my time aiding students I saw that motivation and having a goal is the most important part of learning the subject and becoming a better student to help accomplish the set goal.
Getting past the Jeopardy! Online Test takes the same rapid pattern recognition the ACT English section demands — scanning a chunk of text, spotting what's off, and committing to an answer fast. Paula pairs that instinct with a 32 ACT composite and a psychology background that makes her especially sharp on the rhetorical questions about audience, purpose, and how a writer's choices shape meaning. Rated 4.8 by students.
I am continuing to add to my range of subjects that I teach.
I am an undergraduate at Rice University in Houston pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. I have both formal and informal tutoring experience: I worked as an assistant teacher in my high school's math department in Atlanta teaching geometry, algebra and pre-calculus to students over the summer. As an Academic Fellow at Rice, I provide academic assistance to my peers in the natural sciences, specifically chemistry and biochemistry. Although my studies are focused in STEM, I am a strong writer and I excel in helping students improve grammar and essay organization. Additionally, I have abundant experience in both standardized and AP testing. I am a friendly and empathetic person, and I want to do whatever I can to help other students succeed!
The ACT English section tests grammar rules most students never formally learned — comma splices, pronoun-antecedent agreement, rhetorical strategy questions that ask you to rearrange or delete sentences. Yilin scored a 34 composite and breaks each passage into a system of quick pattern checks so students stop second-guessing themselves on race day. Rated 5.0 by students.
Most ACT English mistakes come down to a handful of recurring grammar rules: punctuation between clauses, subject-verb agreement across long sentences, and redundancy traps. Morgan, who scored a 34 composite and studies English literature at WashU, drills these patterns until students spot errors almost on instinct. She's rated 5.0 by her students.
Computer science trained Benjamin to parse syntax errors in code, and he applies that same systematic eye to the ACT English section — spotting misplaced commas, broken parallel structure, and redundant phrasing by treating each underlined portion as a line of code that either follows the rules or doesn't. His 34 ACT composite means he's battle-tested on the actual exam, and he's particularly effective at teaching the conciseness questions where students need to pick the shortest correct option instead of the one that "sounds smartest."
Scoring a 35 ACT composite means Jessica knows the English section inside out — the comma rules, rhetorical strategy questions, and transition logic that trip up even strong readers. As an English major and former editor-in-chief of her school newspaper, she spots grammatical errors instinctively and teaches students to do the same under timed pressure. Rated 5.0 by students.
The ACT English section tests grammar and rhetorical skills at speed — comma rules, verb agreement, sentence structure, and paragraph-level organization all in 45 minutes. Megan breaks each question type into recognizable patterns so students stop second-guessing and start identifying the error before they've finished reading the underlined portion. Her own 34 ACT composite means she's mastered the pacing these questions demand.
Between his neuroscience coursework and college essays, Josh spends most of his time editing dense, precise prose — a habit that translates directly to the ACT English section's rapid-fire grammar and rhetoric questions. He scored a 32 ACT composite and breaks down the passage-level organization and conciseness questions by teaching students to read like editors trimming a draft, not like test-takers hunting for errors. Rated 5.0 by students.
I am passionate about teaching others as I believe knowledge is an infinite resource that can be used to help us achieve great things in life. As a student at Northwestern University I have been constantly challenged to learn in new ways and I hope to inspire and help others navigate through various subjects. I am obtaining a Bachelor of Arts degree in Neuroscience on the pre-med track and I have already attained a legal studies minor. I am a firm supporter of customized learning as finding the best way to teach or learn is the best way to receive amazing results.
I am a current senior at Davidson College, working towards my B.A. in German Studies and Arab Studies. I have spent many hours tutoring the German and Arabic language to college students. I have spent time abroad in Germany, studying German as a second language with AATG (American Association of Teachers of German). My years of being a camp counselor and babysitter have translated into my teaching methods and style. I encourage young learners to approach problems in multiple ways by retesting previously learned material and encouraging independent thinking. I am a huge believer in discovering answers instead of being told them. I look forward to working with you!
Minoring in both Chemistry and English at Rhodes College meant Saniya spent four years switching between rigid lab writing and nuanced literary prose — building the kind of dual editorial instinct that maps neatly onto ACT English, where one question tests a strict comma rule and the next asks you to judge a paragraph's rhetorical purpose. She zeroes in on the verb tense consistency and pronoun agreement questions that tend to snag students who otherwise read well, teaching each as a pattern to spot rather than a judgment call. Holds a 33 ACT composite and a 5.0 rating.
The ACT English section is really a grammar and rhetoric test in disguise, and Dhruv treats it that way — drilling comma rules, parallel structure, and transition logic until students can spot errors almost instantly. He scored a 35 ACT composite through self-study and knows exactly which grammar patterns the test recycles most often. Rated 4.9 by students.
I am committed to empowering my students and supporting their academic and personal growth. I believe the foundation to successful tutoring to be a mutually trusting and accommodating relationship; thus, I am a firm believer of individualized lesson plans that play to the unique strengths and weaknesses of each student.
As an avid reader and honors English student at KU, Emily spots the grammar and rhetorical patterns the ACT English section tests — comma splices, pronoun agreement, redundancy, and passage-level organization questions. She teaches students to hear the errors by reading strategically rather than relying on rules they've half-memorized, an approach that helped her earn a 33 composite.
The ACT English section tests grammar rules most students never formally learned — comma splices, pronoun-antecedent agreement, and rhetorical strategy questions that require reading for tone. Andrew scored a 35 composite and breaks each question type into a decision tree so students can identify the tested rule in seconds. Rated 4.9 by students.
Scoring a 33 ACT composite, Shea knows the English section inside out — it tests grammar rules and rhetorical strategy in ways that reward quick pattern recognition over slow deliberation. She teaches students to spot the most common traps, like misplaced modifiers and redundant phrasing, so they can move through passages efficiently and confidently. Her question-driven style ensures students understand the underlying rule, not just the right answer for one practice problem.
Every ACT English question tests one of a handful of grammar and rhetorical skills — subject-verb agreement, punctuation in nonrestrictive clauses, paragraph organization. Joseph scored a 32 ACT composite and uses his deep background in English to teach students how to spot what each question is actually asking before they even look at the answer choices. His approach turns a 75-question sprint into a manageable, pattern-based exercise.
Five years of teaching elementary-aged kids built Monroe's instinct for breaking rules into simple, repeatable steps — an approach that pays off on the ACT English section, where 75 questions in 45 minutes leaves no room for debating what "sounds right." His political science coursework at UGA means he writes argumentative prose daily, giving him a natural feel for the transition and passage-organization questions that trip up students who only drill grammar. A 35 ACT composite and 4.9 rating from students back up the method.
I am now a Dean's List sophomore at Oglethorpe University.
Chemical engineering coursework drills a specific kind of precision into your writing — every lab report and technical memo has to be tight, logically sequenced, and free of ambiguity, which is essentially what the ACT English section rewards at speed. Kellie pairs that editorial discipline with a 34 ACT composite and a strong grammar background to teach the punctuation and sentence-structure rules the test cycles through most often. She's especially effective on the conciseness questions where students need to recognize that shorter is almost always the answer.
I am originally from Cartersville, Georgia, but go to school at Washington University in St. Louis. I am a sophomore pursuing a double major in Biology and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. I am currently on the pre-health track in the hopes of one day becoming an Obstetrician Gynecologist. I spend most of my free time volunteering for the Distinguished Young Women program as an interview coach and participant coordinator, locally and statewide.
Scoring a 34 ACT composite means Daniel navigated the English section's rapid-fire grammar and rhetorical strategy questions at a high level. He teaches students to spot the patterns in punctuation, sentence structure, and paragraph organization questions so they can move quickly through passages without second-guessing. His own writing background — he lists writing among his core hobbies — gives him a natural ear for the concision and clarity the ACT rewards.
Comma placement, pronoun agreement, and sentence structure questions make up the bulk of ACT English, but they're easy to miss without a systematic approach to each passage. Kinza drills the grammar rules that appear most frequently and teaches students to read sentences in context so they catch rhetorical-order and transition questions that pure grammar knowledge alone won't solve.
I am currently a graduate student at the Rutgers Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences - New Brunswick/Piscataway campus. Although I am pursuing a medical career, I am a firm advocate of education. In terms of how my belief meshes with my interest in medicine, patient education should play a large part in patient care. Education leads a greater understanding of underlying health issues, causes, and risks which leads to a greater chance in patient compliance.
