I'm an engineer with tutoring experience ready to help students of all ages in a variety of math subjects, as well as with standardized testing needs. Being an engineer means that I'm a problem-solver, and that I need to be able to adapt to a variety of situations. I apply that skill to my tutoring: every student is different, and I adapt my teaching methods to those differences.

Daniyal
BA Agnes Scott College
3+ Years Tutoring

The ACT English section tests grammar rules that most students half-remember — comma splices, subject-verb agreement across long clauses, and rhetorical strategy questions that ask about passage organization. Daniyal scored a 35 ACT composite and breaks each question type into a quick decision tree so students stop second-guessing themselves on test day.

Robert
Current Undergrad, Mathematics University of Oklahoma Norman Campus
1+ Years Tutoring

Studying French alongside mathematics gives Robert a grammar awareness that most math-focused tutors lack — he actually thinks about how sentence structure works across languages, which sharpens his instinct for the verb-agreement traps and modifier errors the ACT English section loves to recycle. His 35 ACT composite means he's battle-tested on the real exam, and he teaches the punctuation and rhetorical strategy questions as a finite rule set rather than a guessing game.

Jordan

10+ Years Tutoring

Growing up homeschooled and then earning a Classics-focused Letters degree at Oklahoma means Jordan has been dissecting sentence structure and rhetorical choices since childhood — exactly the skills the ACT English section tests when it asks about paragraph organization, redundancy, and transition logic. His 33 ACT composite and 4.8 rating reflect real results, and his background editing peers' writing through college gives him a quick eye for the comma-placement and verb-agreement patterns the test loves to recycle.

Carson
BA University of Oklahoma Norman Campus
9+ Years Tutoring

Studying philosophy at the undergraduate level means Carson spent years dissecting arguments sentence by sentence — deciding whether a claim is precise, whether a transition actually connects two ideas, and whether every word earns its place, which is exactly what the ACT English section asks you to do at speed. His 35 ACT composite backs up that editorial instinct, and he's particularly sharp on the rhetorical strategy questions where students need to judge whether a sentence belongs in a paragraph or whether a passage achieves its stated purpose. Rated 4.9 by students.

Blake's biochemistry background means he's spent years writing lab reports where every sentence has to be tight, precise, and free of ambiguity — exactly the editing mindset the ACT English section rewards on its conciseness and redundancy questions. His 32 ACT composite backs up an approach rooted in teaching the punctuation and rhetorical conventions as a fixed ruleset rather than something to sound out.

Sophia
BS The University of Texas at Dallas
5+ Years Tutoring

I have spent all my academic life learning how to study effectively, earning high scores on the ACT and SAT, and I am passionate about passing that knowledge on to others. With my performance on standardized tests, I was able to become a National Merit Scholar and obtain a full scholarship to university, a long-time dream of mine. I understand the hurdles that many students face, and I want them to feel confident that they have the tools they need to succeed. I love teaching test prep because standardized tests have an enormous impact on people's futures, and I also teach math because it reaches across many fields, from astronomy to robotics. I work with students to encourage a personal path towards learning that is different for everyone.

Meredith
BA Pepperdine University
10+ Years Tutoring

Every ACT English question boils down to one decision: does this sentence follow the rules, or does it just sound okay? Meredith drills the specific conventions — comma splices, parallel structure, redundancy — that account for the majority of points on this section. Her own 33 ACT composite came from exactly this kind of targeted, rule-based preparation.

The ACT English section is really a grammar and rhetoric test in disguise, and Joseph — who scored a 35 composite — treats it that way. He walks through comma rules, parallelism, and transition logic so students can spot errors by ear and by rule, which makes the difference between guessing and knowing on test day.

Nathan

Growing up surrounded by school teachers and education professionals gave Nathan an early instinct for breaking down how people learn — and on the ACT English section, that means quickly identifying whether a student is stumbling on punctuation conventions, rhetorical strategy, or passage-level organization, then targeting the actual gap. His 33 ACT composite and background in both computer science and writing let him treat grammar questions as rule-based logic puzzles while coaching the rhetoric and essay-flow questions through an editor's lens.

Astoria
BA Washington University in St. Louis
6+ Years Tutoring

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.

Liz

1+ Years Tutoring

Running a tutoring program at a Boston charter school meant Liz spent years watching middle schoolers make the exact same grammar mistakes the ACT English section exploits — subject-verb disagreement buried inside long sentences, comma splices connecting independent clauses, and transitions that don't actually connect anything. Her special education training sharpened her ability to break those rules into small, explicit steps instead of relying on "does it sound right," which is particularly effective for students whose ears haven't been reliable guides. Her 34 ACT composite and 4.7 rating confirm the approach holds up under test conditions.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Score improvement depends on your starting point and effort, but most students see meaningful gains within 4-8 weeks of focused preparation. Students who work with tutors typically improve 2-4 points on the English section by addressing specific weak areas—whether that's grammar rules, punctuation, or rhetorical strategy questions. The key is identifying exactly where you're losing points and practicing targeted strategies rather than reviewing everything.

The ACT English section (75 questions in 45 minutes) tests two main skills: usage and mechanics (grammar, punctuation, sentence structure) and rhetorical skills (organization, style, and strategy). You'll see passages with underlined portions to correct, plus questions about how to improve sentences or organize ideas. Many students struggle with the pacing—you have less than 30 seconds per question—so tutoring focuses on both content knowledge and efficient test-taking strategies.

The biggest challenges we see are pacing (running out of time), confusing similar grammar rules, and understanding what rhetorical strategy questions are really asking. Many students also struggle with comma rules and identifying sentence fragments versus run-ons. Personalized tutoring helps you focus on your specific weak spots—whether that's commas, verb tense, or organization questions—rather than wasting time on concepts you already know.

Practice tests are essential—they help you understand the question formats, build stamina for the full section, and identify exactly which grammar rules or question types trip you up. Taking full practice tests under timed conditions reveals whether your problem is content knowledge or pacing. Tutors use your practice test results to create a focused study plan, so you're not studying blindly but targeting the specific areas that will move your score.

Pacing is about strategy, not just speed. Most students benefit from learning which question types to tackle first (easier grammar questions before complex rhetorical strategy questions) and when to skip and return to harder questions. Tutors teach you to quickly identify what each question is testing so you're not re-reading passages or overthinking simple grammar fixes. With practice, you'll develop a rhythm that lets you finish with time to review.

No—the ACT tests a specific set of grammar concepts, not obscure rules. The most important ones are comma usage, verb tense and agreement, pronoun agreement, and sentence structure. Rather than memorizing, tutors help you understand the logic behind these rules so you can apply them quickly on test day. This approach is much more effective than flashcards because you develop intuition for what sounds and is correct.

Test anxiety often comes from feeling unprepared or unsure of your strategy. Personalized tutoring builds confidence by helping you master the specific content and question types that appear on the ACT, plus teaching you a reliable test-taking approach. When you know exactly what to expect and have a plan for tackling each question type, anxiety naturally decreases. Many students also benefit from practicing under timed, test-like conditions so the real test feels familiar.

Your first session focuses on understanding where you stand and what you need. You'll likely take a diagnostic practice test or review results from a recent ACT, then discuss your goals and timeline. The tutor will identify your specific weak areas—maybe it's comma rules or rhetorical strategy questions—and create a personalized study plan. This foundation helps you make the most of every session by working on what actually matters for your score.
