Award-Winning ACT English Tutors
serving Lexington, KY

I am currently a rising senior at the University of Kentucky. I am working towards my Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in math and neuroscience. I have been tutoring students from elementary to high school for four years in math. I enjoy working with students, of course to provide academic support, but also to build an environment that encourages them to think outside the box and feel comfortable in doing so. I do tutor high school chemistry, but my primary focus is on various levels of math. From my experience, teaching mathematical concepts can be challenging without being able to adapt to the strengths of weaknesses of every individual. I believe it is crucial that students are given an opportunity to learn that adheres to their individual characteristics. Aside from academia, I enjoy staying physically active, volunteering throughout my community, and being a huge sports fanatic.

I am medical student attending the University of Kentucky. My experience tutoring has both informal and formal components. Informally, I have tutored fellow students in classes that we share. Formally, I teach an organic chemistry recitation at UK. Subjects that I tutor are organic chemistry, mathematics, and biology. I do not have a favorite subject to tutor because I find there to be something very interesting about each subject. My philosophy to teaching is to look at it with the perspective of an enjoyable intellectual conversation. Learning is life-long so let us find the enjoyment in learning. My hobbies outside of academia include listening to music, cooking, and badminton.

Studying communication and ministry meant Logan spent years dissecting how language persuades — sermon structure, rhetorical clarity, concise phrasing — which maps surprisingly well onto the ACT English section's rhetoric and organization questions. He pairs that background with a 36 ACT composite and teaches the punctuation rules the test loves to recycle (comma usage, apostrophes, semicolons) as quick pattern-recognition decisions rather than gut calls. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am no longer needed.

I am 22 years old and just graduated from the University of Kentucky with a double degree in French and Biochemistry. I have been a tutor for over a year now at UK's tutoring center. I believe that anyone can learn anything with enough practice and encouragement, and I love helping students overcome challenges and gain more self-confidence!

Scoring a 35 ACT composite means Kevin knows the English section's quirks inside out — the way it tests rhetorical skills alongside grammar, and how questions about sentence placement or paragraph transitions require a different mindset than comma rules. He teaches students to recognize the four or five recurring grammar patterns that account for most questions, then builds speed so they can spend real time on the trickier rhetoric and organization items.

I am a graduate of UofL with a BS degree in Biochemistry and minor in Biology, heading to medical school at UVA this fall. I have spent 5 semesters as a teaching assistant for the Chemistry Department, spending three semesters teaching general chemistry and two semesters teaching organic chemistry. I have also spent a year as a small-group tutor, helping individual students through tough chemistry topics. While I have a strong background in biology, I am most passionate about tutoring chemistry I love its order, set in rules and mathematics. Outside of academics, I spend my time outdoors, bouldering, or playing couch co-op video games.

I am a graduate of the University of Kentucky with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and a minor in Art Studio. I am currently working toward my Masters of Arts in Game Development at the Savannah College of Art and Design. I am deeply passionate about helping students unleash their full potential. Witnessing the "aha" moments when they grasp a challenging concept is very rewarding. I tutor a range of subjects from computer science principles and programming languages (C, C++, Java, etc.) to game development in Unity and 3D art in various software.

Between biomedical engineering coursework and a love of writing and literature, Matthew lives in both technical and editorial modes — a combination that clicks on the ACT English section, where questions about conciseness and sentence structure reward the same precision required in lab reports. His 35 ACT composite means he's already proven he can move through those 75 questions at speed, and he teaches the punctuation and rhetorical strategy patterns as repeatable rules rather than judgment calls.

Neuroscience training means reading and writing dense, jargon-heavy prose daily — so Janki edits for clarity almost on autopilot, which is the exact skill the ACT English section tests at speed across its grammar, conciseness, and rhetorical strategy questions. She scored a 34 ACT composite and uses that familiarity to teach the punctuation and sentence-structure rules as a small, repeatable toolkit rather than something students need to feel out passage by passage. Rated 4.8 by students.

I'm looking forward to putting my knowledge to work for you!

Twelve years of editing and publishing sharpened Richard's instinct for cutting bloated sentences and fixing structural errors — the exact skills the ACT English section tests under a tight 45-minute clock. His medical school training in biochemistry added another layer: writing and revising technical prose daily builds the kind of rule-based grammar reflexes that outperform guessing by ear, especially on verb tense consistency and modifier placement questions.

Comma rules, pronoun agreement, and sentence structure questions make up the bulk of ACT English — and they follow predictable patterns once you know what to look for. Andrew scored a 34 composite and walks students through the grammar conventions the test recycles most often, turning a section many students rush through into one of their highest scores.

The ACT English section tests grammar and rhetorical skills at speed — 75 questions in 45 minutes — so students need to recognize comma splices, subject-verb agreement errors, and transition problems almost on instinct. Diana's English degree from the University of Louisville and her 32 ACT composite mean she can pinpoint exactly which usage rules appear most often and drill them until they become automatic.

I am a current sophomore at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where I am majoring in Biology as part of the 7 Year Accelerated Medical Program. I am also minoring in Healthcare Economics and Policy. My favorite subjects in school are Chemistry, Biology, and Math, but I also enjoy the process of writing and editing thought provoking essays. During high school, I spent time tutoring for the National Honor Society. My approach to tutoring is to teach the concepts in a simplistic manner and reinforcing the concepts while adding difficulty through effective practice problems. In my free time, I have recently found myself reading, working out, drawing, and spending time with my siblings.

Medical school trains you to read dense passages fast and extract exactly what matters — Jiatian applies that same triage instinct to the ACT English section, where 75 questions in 45 minutes rewards quick, decisive editing over deliberation. As a Rice AB graduate now finishing med school, she treats each underlined portion as a rule-based decision point, drilling students on the specific punctuation and rhetorical patterns the test repeats until choosing the right fix becomes automatic.

Running a tutoring program at a Boston charter school meant Liz spent years watching middle schoolers make the exact same grammar mistakes the ACT English section exploits — subject-verb disagreement buried inside long sentences, comma splices connecting independent clauses, and transitions that don't actually connect anything. Her special education training sharpened her ability to break those rules into small, explicit steps instead of relying on "does it sound right," which is particularly effective for students whose ears haven't been reliable guides. Her 34 ACT composite and 4.7 rating confirm the approach holds up under test conditions.

I'm referring to math, of course, but I didn't always like the subject. Until about age 16, I thought of math as a boring, mind-numbing process of blindly memorizing formulas and then forgetting them after the test, but a series of wonderful teachers showed me the truth. I had thought that everything in math was invented arbitrarily just to torture students, but actually it all made sense in a deep way. When I caught a glimpse of what math really was, I found it irresistible and I ended up majoring in math in college at UChicago. I'm currently a Master's student in Computer Science at NYU.

Punctuation and rhetorical strategy questions on ACT English trip students up for different reasons — one is about rules, the other is about intent. Eileen breaks each passage into those two modes, teaching comma and semicolon conventions alongside paragraph-level decisions like whether a sentence belongs or should be deleted. Her 36 ACT composite came partly from mastering exactly this kind of quick categorization.

I am passionate about helping students with math, science, test prep, and more! As sophomore undergraduate at Brown University studying Mathematics and Biophysics, I am well experienced with many topics. I received a perfect 36 on my ACT, so I am very confident with test taking.

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.

Scoring a perfect 36 ACT composite means Ryne didn't just survive the English section's 45-minute sprint — he mastered the specific rhythm of its grammar and rhetoric questions, from comma rules around nonessential clauses to the passage-organization problems that reward reading like an editor. His political science background adds a layer of rhetorical awareness that's especially useful on questions about argument structure, transitions, and whether a sentence actually serves the writer's purpose. Rated 4.9 by students.

Punctuation rules, rhetorical strategy questions, and sentence structure traps make up the bulk of ACT English — and each type requires a different approach. Asta scored a 35 ACT composite and now walks students through the specific grammar conventions that appear most frequently, from comma splices to pronoun-antecedent agreement, so they can move through all 75 questions with confidence and speed.

A Creative Writing degree from Carnegie Mellon and induction into Sigma Tau Delta (the English honors society) meant Sydney spent four years dissecting sentence-level craft — parallelism, punctuation as pacing, cutting every unnecessary word — which is essentially what the ACT English section tests at speed across five passages. She scored a 35 ACT composite and brings a writer's instinct for why concise phrasing beats bloated alternatives, turning the rhetorical strategy questions from guesswork into quick editorial calls. Rated 4.9 by students.

Elliot earned a 36 ACT composite, and his approach to the English section zeroes in on the handful of grammar rules — comma splices, modifier placement, parallelism, pronoun agreement — that appear on nearly every test form. Beyond mechanics, he also tackles the rhetorical strategy questions, teaching students how to evaluate whether a sentence should be added, deleted, or repositioned within a passage.

I am available to tutor a range of middle school and high school subjects, but I am most excited about tutoring test prep. I remember how stressful preparing for college can be and I am eager to do my part in helping students fulfill their college goals. I believe that learning is a collaborative process and I am committed to being as actively involved in the student's learning as I can. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, going to the movies (I try to see each Oscar nominee before the ceremony every year.), and am a huge Michigan sports fan.
