I am an undergraduate at Washington University, and I grew up in Columbus, Ohio. Math has always been one of my favorite subjects. I love Pre-algebra, Calculus, Linear Algebra and everything in between! I have tutored for about four years and have worked with students of all ages. Most students come to me for Math, but I have also worked with students on SAT and ACT test prep, Statistics and Physics. Everyone learns in a slightly different way, and I love figuring out the best way to teach something to people individually and dig down to what questions they really need to have answered to understand the material. In my spare time, I like to go on long bike rides and explore St. Louis's restaurants. I also love baking, playing with dogs and cats, watching movies with my friends and playing soccer.

Punctuation and rhetorical strategy questions trip up most ACT English test-takers, especially when passages require deciding whether a sentence should be added, deleted, or revised for tone. Sean zeroes in on the handful of grammar rules — comma splices, subject-verb agreement, parallel structure — that account for the majority of points on this section. Rated 4.9 by students, he scored a 34 composite and knows how to turn rule recognition into speed.

Shreya tutors Spanish alongside English, and that cross-language awareness sharpens her ability to explain the grammar rules the ACT English section leans on hardest — subject-verb agreement, pronoun case, and comma placement around clauses — because she can show students the underlying logic instead of just saying "pick what sounds right." Her 32 ACT composite and 5.0 rating come from pairing that grammar instinct with a pre-med student's discipline for systematic practice under timed pressure.

I am excited to help anyone who might need it!

Most math majors wouldn't seem like natural fits for ACT English, but John's 35 ACT composite means he clearly conquered the section himself — and his approach treats grammar questions the way he treats equations: identify the rule being tested, apply it, move on without second-guessing. He's especially useful for students who overthink the "sounds right" trap on punctuation and conciseness questions, since he teaches them to rely on a short list of recurring conventions instead of instinct.

Grading hundreds of high school essays each semester — from AP Chemistry lab reports to biology research summaries — has given Samuel an almost automatic sense for the punctuation errors, awkward transitions, and redundant phrasing the ACT English section recycles in every passage. He teaches the section's grammar conventions as a short, memorizable rulebook rather than a guessing game, and his 34 ACT composite shows he applies those rules under real test conditions. Rated 4.9 by students.

Comma rules, subject-verb agreement, and rhetorical strategy questions on the ACT English section all follow predictable patterns once you know what to look for. Jacob, who scored a 34 composite, teaches students to spot the handful of grammar concepts the ACT recycles and to read passages for logical flow rather than guessing based on what "sounds right."

Over a decade of teaching English as a second language gave Joy an unusually precise understanding of English grammar mechanics — the kind the ACT English section tests through punctuation, sentence structure, and rhetorical strategy questions. She doesn't just tell students which answer is correct; she explains the underlying rule so they can spot comma splices, misplaced modifiers, and pronoun-antecedent errors on their own.

Currently deep in a six-year medical program, Vijaya reads and edits technical writing daily — the kind of dense, precise prose that builds the exact reflex the ACT English section rewards when you have 36 seconds per question. She scored a 34 ACT composite and zeroes in on the punctuation and sentence-structure rules students most often try to solve by ear, replacing guesswork with a small, repeatable set of patterns. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am currently working towards an Aerospace Engineering degree at the University of Colorado, Boulder. In high school, I worked with 5th grade students tutoring math. Beyond that, I was always avaliable to help my classmates learn topics that I may have understood better at the time. Overall, math and science courses are my favorite to help people with because I enjoy those courses myself and think the knowledge is not hard to learn if given the right teacher and enough time. In teaching, I like to understand the level of comprehension the student has first before just going in and telling them what he/she should do. It is more effective to learn how to teach yourself the knowledge than to just be able to regurgitate it onto a test. Other than academics, I like playing basketball, video games, and just hanging out and messing around with friends.

Every ACT English question tests either a grammar rule or a rhetorical choice, and most students can't tell which is which under time pressure. Kristen's English Language Arts certification and her 33 ACT composite mean she can pinpoint exactly which conventions — comma splices, pronoun agreement, parallel structure — a student keeps missing and drill those specifically. She also unpacks the strategy questions about organization and tone that many tutors gloss over.

State-certified with a master's in Curriculum and Instruction, Megan has spent years teaching both English and science — a combination that builds an unusually systematic approach to the ACT English section's grammar conventions, where she treats comma rules, verb-tense shifts, and transition logic as patterns to learn rather than instincts to guess at. Her 33 ACT composite and 5.0 rating speak to how well that structured method clicks with students who need more than just 'pick what sounds right.'
