Award-Winning ACT English Tutors
serving North Las Vegas, NV

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 a rising sophomore at Case Western Reserve University studying engineering. I have taken most high-school level standardized tests, and have scored consistently above the 95th percentile. I have tutored small groups of students throughout high school, and also have experience as a private tutor. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy playing Ultimate Frisbee with my college club team.

I am an undergraduate at Washington University in St. Louis majoring in Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology on the Premed track. I have two years worth of experience peer tutoring. I feel the most confident tutoring ACT preparation. During my time as a high school student, I worked from an ACT score of 25 to a 36 and developed many effective strategies that I will tailor to the students I tutor and understand the ins and outs of the test. In addition to working with high school peers, I have also enjoyed teaching private piano and violin lessons for elementary students. Helping people knock down their roadblocks is a passion of mine. Standardized tests and basic education may feel removed from our passions, but developing those foundations are essential for opening up opportunities and becoming capable of taking on our pursuits.

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.

Most ACT English mistakes come down to three things: comma rules, pronoun agreement, and rhetorical ordering — and Emily zeroes in on whichever of those is costing a student the most points. Her 36 ACT composite came partly from understanding the test's patterns, like how "DELETE the underlined portion" is correct more often than students expect. She also draws on her experience facilitating English language discussion sessions to make grammar intuitions stick.

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.

I am a sophomore at the Georgia Institute of Technology and am working towards a major in Computer Engineering. I have been tutoring students of all ages and backgrounds in various math topics ranging from elementary school math to AP Calculus throughout high school. I love teaching math and always find it amazing to watch my students grow and improve in their mathematical abilities. While helping students with standardized testing, we go through several tricks and tactics that have helped my students succeed and have fun in the process. I am also well versed in Physics and have spent 3 years taking the highest levels of physics courses. I love playing all sports (especially soccer) and enjoy playing the guitar in my free time as well.

I am currently a student at Duke University studying Biomedical Engineering and Economics. Just a little bit about me and some of my interests. Some of my favorite academic interests include memoirs and modern classics. I think Catcher in the Rye is still one of my all time favorite books but Percy Jackson, a modern classic, is up there too. Beyond academics, I take great guilty pleasure in watching TV shows such as Westworld, Sherlock, How I Met Your Mother, and even The Bachelorette when I'm at a low point.

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.

Most ACT English mistakes come down to three things: comma rules, pronoun agreement, and rhetorical strategy questions that ask about paragraph organization. Nikhil scored a perfect 36 composite and drills students on recognizing these patterns quickly, turning a section that feels subjective into one of the easiest places to pick up points.

Public policy writing at the college level is essentially an exercise in tight, rule-governed prose — every sentence has to be clear, concise, and structurally sound, which is exactly what the ACT English section tests at speed. Dana applies that editorial training to the rhetorical strategy and conciseness questions where students tend to lose the most points, teaching them to treat each passage as a draft that needs trimming rather than a puzzle to decode. Her perfect 36 ACT composite confirms the approach holds up under test conditions.

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.
