Award-Winning ACT English Tutors
serving Las Vegas, NV

I'm a sophomore at USC studying Biomedical Engineering. In high school, I maintained a 4.0 GPA while participating in organizations like Mu Alpha Theta so that I could tutor struggling math students in subjects ranging from Algebra to Calculus III. Seeing how comfortable I was in the environment really made an impact on me, and I want to continue that experience tutoring through Varsity Tutors both online and in person. Students I have tutored before in math and standardized testing subjects tell me that my strategies and quick methods for arriving at solutions saves them a great deal of time and energy as they take their exams, which reaffirms my passion and love of tutoring. In my classroom experiences, I found that sometimes the methods that were taught were just too confusing, so then I either created or looked up better ways that secured a better grade for me in the class; the idea that the same problem can be solved in many ways is an idea I try to impart in all of my students so that they can feel comfortable using a process they picked out instead. In my free time, Iove to watch movies, play Super Smash Bros, listen to new music, and read articles on Flipboard.

Scoring a 35 ACT composite while majoring in sociology means Kendra reads dense, argument-heavy texts daily and knows how to spot the structural and rhetorical moves the English section actually tests — redundancy, transition logic, and paragraph-level organization. She teaches the punctuation rules as a short, memorizable list and spends most of her time on the passage-flow questions where students tend to lose easy points by overthinking.

Most science majors treat the ACT English section as an afterthought — Cassandra didn't, earning a 33 composite by applying the same systematic thinking from her biology coursework to grammar conventions and rhetorical strategy questions. She teaches the section's punctuation and conciseness patterns as a finite rule set to memorize and apply, which clicks especially well for students who are strong in STEM but struggle to articulate why one answer "sounds better" than another. Rated 4.9 by students.

I'm currently applying to be a Ph.D. candidate in the hopes of becoming a professor in the social sciences, as my greatest passion is helping students harness their potential and realize their success!

The ACT English section is really a grammar and rhetoric test disguised as a reading exercise, and Lauryn breaks it down that way. She teaches students to spot comma splices, pronoun-antecedent errors, and redundancy patterns quickly, then tackles the trickier rhetorical strategy questions that ask about paragraph organization and tone.

I love teaching patiently and accurately to achieve concrete goals! A National Merit scholar, a college student, and an aspiring writer, I encourage high achievement and creativity in all my students. With 2+ years of tutoring experience and 1+ years of teaching experience, both in-person and online, I will gladly adapt to your educational and personal needs! Primarily, I tutor the SAT and ACT. I have the most experience in tutoring English (up to 12th grade) and math (up to Algebra II/pre-calc). I can also tutor competitive Lincoln-Douglas and policy debate as well as Impromptu speech at a middle/high school level or general public speaking and argumentation. My favorite subjects are English, which I am pursuing at UNLV, and Speech & Debate, which I teach at a private school. I have an AP Honors Diploma and AP Scholar with Distinction Award from high school.

I'm trying to work on personal projects. I really enjoy snowboarding, and have been doing that since the third grade. I also enjoy playing sports and video games.

Studying computational neuroscience and philosophy at MIT means Tim writes in two very different registers daily — tight, code-adjacent technical prose and carefully argued humanistic essays — and that dual fluency sharpens the quick editing decisions the ACT English section demands. He scored a 34 ACT composite and is especially effective on the rhetorical strategy questions where students need to evaluate paragraph-level logic and trim unnecessary wording, skills his philosophy training made second nature. Rated 4.9 by students.

Economics majors at Ohio State's Honors College write constantly — policy briefs, data analyses, argumentative papers — and Brian edits his own prose with the same rule-driven approach he teaches for the ACT English section's punctuation and conciseness questions. He zeroes in on the transition and sentence-placement questions that trip up students who've only drilled comma rules, showing how to read each passage as a logical argument rather than a grammar worksheet. His 33 ACT composite backs up the method.

Scoring a 35 ACT while double-majoring in Biology and Spanish meant Emily was constantly switching between scientific precision and literary nuance — exactly the kind of editing flexibility the English section demands when it jumps from punctuation rules to rhetorical strategy questions within the same passage. She zeroes in on the section's most recycled traps, like verb tense shifts across long paragraphs and comma usage around appositives, teaching them as predictable patterns rather than judgment calls. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am a recent graduate of Cornell University, where I received a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and graduated Magna Cum Laude. Over the past several years, I have worked with students from diverse backgrounds and experiences tutoring thermodynamics (my personal favorite), chemistry, and math. I have also tutored in the past for ACT/SAT and other subjects such as history, but I am deeply passionate about science and engineering. I tend to push my students to understand conceptual topics, as opposed to rote or algorithmic learning. In my free time, I love to bake sourdough, learn about history, garden, and recently started biking again.

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.

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.

I am excited to help anyone who might need it!

Zhenrui earned a perfect 36 ACT composite, which means the English section's trickiest question types — sentence placement, redundancy traps, and transition logic — are territory he's already mapped out cold. His engineering training at Columbia reinforces a rule-first approach: instead of debating what sounds natural, he teaches the specific punctuation and rhetoric patterns the test reuses so students can move through all 75 questions with a clear decision framework.

A magna cum laude Duke graduate with professional writing experience, Frances knows how to dissect a sentence quickly — which is exactly what the ACT English section demands across its 75 questions on punctuation, rhetorical strategy, and passage organization. She zeroes in on the redundancy and transition questions that trip up students who otherwise know their grammar, teaching them to edit like a writer tightening a draft rather than a test-taker second-guessing by ear. Her 35 ACT composite and 4.6 rating back up the approach.

Comma rules, subject-verb agreement across long clauses, and rhetorical ordering questions make up the bulk of ACT English — and each one has a learnable pattern. Edward scored a 36 composite and approaches this section by drilling the specific grammar conventions that appear most frequently, then layering in the passage-level strategy questions that many students overlook. His background as a writer means he can explain why a rule exists, not just that it does.

I am in my second year at MIT studying mathematics, and I am currently doing a research project in Spectral Graph Theory. I have been a tutor since my junior year in high school, and I enjoy teaching all levels of math; everything from pre-algebra through calculus and linear algebra! I focus primarily on making sure that the definitions and processes given in class make intuitive sense, so that math can begin to feel like second nature.

I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.

The IB program drills a particular kind of writing discipline — structured arguments, precise language, relentless editing — and Vansh carried that training straight into his aerospace engineering work at Georgia Tech, where technical writing leaves zero room for ambiguity. That combination makes him especially sharp on the ACT English questions testing conciseness and sentence placement, where students need to cut wordiness and reorganize logic under time pressure rather than just fix punctuation. His 36 ACT composite and 5.0 rating back it up.

Scoring a perfect 36 ACT composite means Sharan didn't just survive the English section — she mastered the specific rhythm of its 75 questions in 45 minutes, where hesitating on even a few rhetorical strategy questions can tank your pacing. Her premed coursework at Cornell keeps her writing tight and evidence-driven daily, and she applies that same discipline to teaching the punctuation and conciseness patterns the test loves to recycle. Rated 5.0 by students.
