Scoring a perfect 36 ACT composite means Talia didn't just survive the English section's 45-minute sprint — she mastered the specific rhythm of its grammar and rhetorical questions, from comma rules around appositional phrases to spotting redundancy buried mid-paragraph. Her political science writing at Northeastern keeps those editing instincts sharp, since constructing policy arguments demands the same tight, logical prose the test rewards. Rated 5.0 by students.

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.

Scoring a 35 ACT composite while juggling a biology and computer science double major at Northeastern means Eunice didn't have time to second-guess English questions by ear — she learned the finite set of grammar and rhetoric rules the section actually tests and applied them systematically. She's especially sharp on the punctuation and sentence-structure questions where knowing the rule (not just what "sounds right") is the fastest path to a correct answer. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am current student at Harvard Medical School. I attended Vassar College as an undergraduate where I studied Science, Technology and Society. I am a patient teacher and eager to work with students of all ages.

Scoring a 35 ACT composite while majoring in math at Tufts means Nikola lives in the world of precise, rule-based thinking — and the English section is really just another rule-based system once you stop guessing by ear and start recognizing the dozen or so grammar patterns the test actually rotates through. He also tutors college essays and literature, so he brings genuine editorial instincts to the rhetoric and passage-organization questions that pure grammar review won't cover. Holds a 5.0 rating.

I am a third year student at Northeastern University. I am a double major in English and Mathematics, and studying to be a secondary school teacher here in Boston.

I am currently a Junior at Boston University majoring in Medical Sciences and minoring in Psychology. I am in the Seven Year Liberal Arts/Medical Education program with Boston University School of Medicine. I greatly enjoy teaching others and assisting students in their academic journeys. I have tutoring experience in the past with peer and younger students in subjects such as Writing, Math, and Science. I have a great foundation in these areas and hope to share my knowledge with others!

Most ACT English mistakes come down to a handful of grammar rules — comma splices, pronoun-antecedent agreement, modifier placement — that students have never been explicitly taught. Anthony's 35 ACT composite and his college training in literary arts mean he can explain not just which answer is correct but why the sentence sounds wrong in the first place, turning gut instinct into a reliable strategy.

I am a recent Duke University graduate where I studied Financial Economics. I have extensive experience in tutoring maths and sciences as well as standardized test prep. Outside of work, I love to spend time with my corgi and explore the city of Boston!

Punctuation and rhetorical strategy questions make up the bulk of ACT English, and they follow predictable patterns once you know what to look for. John drills students on the handful of comma rules, pronoun-antecedent traps, and sentence-combining techniques that appear on nearly every test. His own 35 ACT composite came from exactly this kind of targeted preparation.

Elizabeth's MA in English and her work with 826 Boston meant she was constantly editing real student writing — catching comma errors, restructuring muddled paragraphs, and trimming wordiness — which is essentially the ACT English section compressed into 45 minutes. She scored a 34 ACT composite and teaches the rhetorical strategy questions by training students to read each passage as a draft that needs tightening, not a test that needs outsmarting.

Scoring well on ACT English means spotting comma splices, pronoun-antecedent errors, and rhetorical strategy questions at speed — and most of that comes down to pattern recognition. Justin earned a 35 ACT composite and teaches students to identify the handful of grammar rules the test recycles so they can move through passages efficiently and confidently.

Tutoring non-native English speakers at his international school in Bosnia gave Andy something most ACT English tutors lack — experience explaining grammar rules to people who can't fall back on what "sounds right." That foundation, plus a 34 ACT composite, makes him particularly effective on the punctuation and sentence-structure questions where native speakers' instincts actually lead them astray. Rated 5.0 by students.

Greetings, my name is Karthik! I studied at Northeastern University and earned a BS in math and physics, and I started tutoring formally in undergrad via a mix of online tutoring and university sponsored peer tutoring later taking on responsibilities as a student grader and TA. But well before I started formal tutoring, it was not uncommon for peers to remark that I explained things better than our teachers. While at first I was prone to lecturing due to my assumption that others found theory as elucidating as I did, my sessions are now dominated by working through problems provided by either the student or me. Also software visualization is a boon whenever my drawing skills don't pass muster. Ultimately, my purpose is to cultivate disciplined learning and excellence in STEM, whether that be for a class or purely out of curiosity/passion, so please do not hesitate to reach out if you think I can help you achieve your goals.

Pursuing a PhD in American Literature at UConn means Meghan reads and edits dense academic prose daily — the kind of close, structural attention that maps perfectly onto the ACT English section's questions about passage organization, transition logic, and trimming redundancy. Her 32 ACT composite and 5.0 rating come from teaching students to treat each passage as a rough draft they're tightening, spotting the specific rule each question targets instead of relying on what sounds right.

I'm a recent PhD graduate in Bioengineering in the Boston area. My thesis involved nanoparticles and bacterial infections, but as a biomedical engineer I've had training in circuits, mechanics, some programming, chemistry and biology. Tutoring for me is a collaborative effort, following a problem-based learning with questions that will lead the student towards the answer they're looking for while providing a well-rounded understanding of why and how that answer works.

I am a Health Sciences and Biology double major at Northeastern University, graduating in just one year. I have worked in part-time biology research lab for three years, as well as full-time in a hospital in Boston for over a year now, in both clinical and research settings.

I'm a second year MD/PhD student currently enjoying medical school. I'm a laid back guy who loves to teach and help people understand topics. I also enjoy teaching people new ways to learn, allowing them to spend less time studying and more time enjoying other activities, like playing soccer or exploring around their city.

I am a freshman at Northeastern University. I am currently studying Psychology on a Pre-Med track. Even though my studies are heavily science-based, I enjoy all other subjects, as well. I tutored in high school as Vice-President of the National Honor Society and I am looking forward to continuing my passion for helping others through tutoring.

The ACT English section tests grammar rules and rhetorical strategy in rapid succession — 75 questions in 45 minutes means students need to spot comma splices, pronoun errors, and transition problems almost on instinct. Ryan scored a 34 ACT composite and breaks the English section into the handful of recurring grammar patterns that account for the majority of questions. Rated 5.0 by students, he treats pacing as a skill to practice, not just a goal to hope for.

Scoring a 34 ACT composite while carrying a full biology course load at Boston College meant Jasmine had to master the English section efficiently — she learned to treat its grammar questions as a closed set of rules rather than a subjective judgment call, and now teaches students that same systematic approach. She's especially effective with science-minded students who overthink rhetorical strategy questions, showing them how to evaluate passage organization and transition choices with the same logic they'd use in a lab report. Rated 5.0 by students.

I'm Emma! I'm excited at the possibility of becoming your tutor! Let's see if we would make a good match

Gabrielle's English and History double major means she's spent years writing and revising analytical essays — building the exact editorial instincts the ACT English section rewards when it asks about transition placement, redundancy, and paragraph-level organization. She scored a 33 ACT composite and uses her background in close reading to teach students how the passage's argument should guide their answer choices, especially on the rhetorical strategy questions where grammar rules alone won't help.

I am an engineering student at Northeastern University who loves helping people out with all subjects. Standardized tests are just a game against the clock that we can improve in so many ways.

I am available to tutor in a broad range of subjects, though I am most passionate about Economics, History, and Civics. Please feel free to contact me and I would be happy to arrange a session.

As an English major at Harvard who also speaks Mandarin, Cindy has an intuitive grasp of how grammar rules function across languages — a perspective that sharpens her ability to teach the ACT English section's trickiest punctuation and sentence-structure questions as logical systems rather than feel-based guesses. Her perfect 36 ACT composite means she's navigated every question type the section throws at students, and she's especially sharp on the rhetorical strategy questions about paragraph organization and conciseness. Rated 5.0 by students.

I'm a current senior at Harvard University earning a double major in Environmental Science and Public Policy and Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality. During my time at Harvard, I've done a wide variety of education-related work. I've taught my own self-designed course on Feminism, Intersectionality, and Queer Theory to high school students in both the US and Vietnam, and I currently design and lead customized inclusivity trainings with Harvard's Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.

Clare scored a 35 ACT composite and treats the English section as a place where small, learnable rules — subject-verb agreement, modifier placement, punctuation between clauses — translate directly into fast point gains. She drills students on the handful of grammar concepts that appear most frequently, then shifts to the rhetorical strategy questions that tend to trip people up.

Earning a 34 ACT composite required Connie to nail the English section's rapid-fire grammar and rhetorical strategy questions. She teaches students to distinguish between conventions-of-usage traps — comma splices, pronoun agreement, verb tense shifts — and the subtler production-of-writing questions that ask about organization and tone. Speed and accuracy come from drilling those two categories separately before combining them under timed conditions.

Engineering students read and write with a specific kind of discipline — every word in a lab report or design spec has to earn its place — and Kristen carries that same ruthless editing instinct into the ACT English section's conciseness and rhetorical strategy questions. Her 36 ACT composite means she's seen every grammar convention and passage-organization trick the test throws, and she teaches each one as a concrete rule rather than a judgment call. Rated 4.9 by students.

Scoring a 35 ACT composite while carrying a Harvard computer science courseload means Parita reads and edits with both speed and precision — she treats each English section question like a conditional statement where only one answer satisfies all the constraints. She's especially sharp on the punctuation and sentence-structure questions that reward knowing the actual rule over trusting your ear, and she teaches students to eliminate answer choices systematically rather than agonizing over what "sounds best." Rated 5.0 by students.

I am personable and open with my students because I believe that forging an honest and mutually respectful relationship is fundamental for us to be successful in learning together. I hope to bring my experience, dedication and eagerness to work with a variety of students to Varsity Tutors.

I'm an MIT undergrad studying Urban Planning. I loved math in science in school, but know that it can be frustrating and easy to dislike when taught in a way that is difficult to understand, or when it seems useless and pointless to learn. My goal is to get students not only to perform well in these subjects, but to fully comprehend and enjoy them.

Scoring a 35 ACT composite means Amelia knows the English section inside and out — the comma rules, the rhetorical strategy questions, the tricky pronoun-antecedent traps. As someone who genuinely enjoys analyzing English grammar, she teaches students to spot the patterns the test relies on rather than second-guessing every answer choice.

Tutoring English in an ESOL classroom for refugees taught Andy to explain grammar rules from scratch — no assumptions about what "sounds right" — which is exactly the mindset that unlocks the ACT English section for students who've been guessing by ear. His 35 ACT composite and CS-trained habit of systematic problem-solving mean he treats each question as a rule to identify and apply, not a vibe to interpret.

I'm Scotty! I am currently a senior at Harvard College pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Sociology with a secondary (minor) in Theater, Dance, and Media. I know full well that struggling with course material is tricky to navigate; I have not always felt comfortable going straight to the professor or teacher to ask for help. That's why I love tutoring - I aim to be a helpful resource for students, blending the toughness of a coach with the warmth and comfort of a friend to provide the best atmosphere for those I tutor.

I am a MIT undergrad studying Materials Science and Engineering with minors in Economics and Japanese. I was a TA for Physics II: Electricity and Magnetism at MIT, and I tutored in math and science in high school. I scored a perfect score on the SAT Math section twice, and have taken 11 AP tests with an average score of 4.7. I believe the best way to learn math is through challenging problems, and gaining confidence in yourself when you find that you understand those problems. I am passionate about learning, and I hope I can share that passion with you!

I am deeply passionate about the field of education. I look forward to tutoring and helping individuals who are dedicated to their future. I am happy to offer advice about college applications and career counseling as well. I can't wait to meet you!

I am a graduate of Harvard University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Social Studies with a focus in food policy and law. During my undergraduate studies I spent my time in political organizations and in research, teaching fellowships on political philosophy at Harvard Effective Altruism and serving as a Visiting Researcher in food policy at the University of Cambridge. After graduating, I spent time as a researcher in political science and history and mentored students working towards attending top schools in the US and UK, providing one-on-one help with applications and developing seminars on topics like Sociology and English. Most recently, I have started a non-profit organization in Ecuador focused on educating families about healthy cooking and providing nutritional assistance. At the same time, I am excited to continue pursuing my passion for teaching and helping students navigate subjects like History, English Literature, ESL, Spanish, and Standardized Tests like the ACT, AP, and IB tests. I believe that the knowledge young people receive in primary and secondary education is the ultimate individual enrichment; an essential part of understanding who they are and a key to seeing who they may become. In my spare time, I walk, read history books like Doris Kearns Goodwin's Team of Rivals, and listen to music like Led Zeppelin and Lana del Rey.

I am a recent Tufts University grad with a degree in chemical physics and environmental studies. I am a dual citizen of the United States and Sweden and apparently sleep talk in both languages. My biggest passion is the preservation of the environment, and I hope to start a career as an environmental scientist. I am currently certified to both prepare students for the ACT exam and tutor mathematics (algebra and pre-calculus), physics, chemistry, and general science. In my free time I enjoy reading, skiing, hiking, cooking, longboarding, sailing, and watching over the top action movies. I do not want to give you the right answers; I want teach you how to find the right answers yourself. That means I will be patient and help you understand the fundamentals of the subject matter. I understand that preparing for a test like the ACT might seem hard, but I want to show you that you have what it takes to conquer the exam.
