I'm not tutoring, I love walking through New York for design inspiration and taking carpentry, metalworking, and illustration classes.

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 con...

I am currently interviewing for medical school for matriculation in August 2017.

I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campu...

I'm a graduate of Columbia College Chicago; after exploring many fields of interest (writing, linguistics, computer science, and more), I completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Fashion Design graduating Cum Laude.

Studying literature means Carmen has spent years dissecting how sentences are built — not just what they say, but how punctuation, syntax, and word choice shape meaning on the page. That close-reading reflex is exactly what the ACT English section rewards, especially on rhetorical strategy questions...

Debate team experience at her college sharpened Sonali's instinct for tight, purposeful language — the same skill the ACT English section tests when it asks whether a sentence is redundant, whether a transition actually connects two ideas, or whether a paragraph achieves its stated goal. With a 35 A...

Laura scored a 35 composite and approaches the English section methodically, teaching students to spot the grammatical patterns the test recycles and to read for rhetorical purpose on ...

I am a current undergraduate student at the Macaulay Honors College at Hunter College, where I received a full tuition merit scholarship. I am pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry, as well as minoring in English. For years, I have tutored high school students in preparation for New York State...

Studying Classical Civilization at Loyola Chicago's Honors program meant Dustin spent years translating and editing Latin and Greek texts — work that builds an almost surgical awareness of how English grammar rules function, since you can't translate without understanding sentence structure at its b...

Sociology trained Reid to read arguments critically and write with economy — two skills that map directly onto the ACT English section's rhetorical strategy and conciseness questions, where spotting redundant phrasing and weak transitions matters as much as knowing comma rules. His PhD work in Educa...

Most ACT English mistakes come down to three things: comma placement, pronoun agreement, and rhetorical strategy questions that students rush through. Maya zeros in on whichever of those categories is costing a student the most points, then runs targeted practice sets until the patterns stick. Her o...

Building houses for Habitat for Humanity as an AmeriCorps volunteer taught Sara how to break complex tasks into clear, repeatable steps — the same approach she takes with the ACT English section's punctuation and rhetorical strategy questions, turning what feels like subjective guessing into a syste...

The ACT English section tests grammar rules most students have never been explicitly taught — comma splices, dangling modifiers, rhetorical strategy questions buried in passage transitions. Rachel scored a 34 ACT composite and breaks these question types into learnable patterns so students can spot ...

An Amherst English degree means Andrew spent four years dissecting prose at the sentence level — identifying why a particular word choice weakens an argument or how a misplaced clause muddles meaning — which is precisely the skill the ACT English section tests under time pressure. He scored a 35 ACT...
