Rachel
BA Columbia University in the City of New York
6+ Years Tutoring

Working as an advocate and investigator for public defense organizations means Rachel reads and edits legal prose daily — spotting ambiguous modifiers, tightening wordy arguments, and ensuring every sentence says exactly what it needs to. That real-world editing reflex, combined with a 35 ACT composite, makes her especially effective on the rhetorical strategy and conciseness questions where students need to think like writers making deliberate choices. Rated 4.9 by students.

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.

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.

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.

Joseph
Current Undergrad, Economics and International Area Studies University of Oklahoma Norman Campus
9+ Years Tutoring

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.

Jordan

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.

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.

Carson

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.

Nathan
BA Northwestern Oklahoma State University
9+ Years Tutoring

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.

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.

Benjamin
BA University of Notre Dame
5+ Years Tutoring

I am a 2023 graduate of the University of Notre Dame with a Finance/Economics major and a minor in Innovation and Entrepreneurship. I am a passionate student in the math and business realms, as I enjoy the intuitiveness of the former and the real-world potential of the latter. During classes in middle and high school, I developed a reputation of being a good source of help within my classes in a non-tutor capacity, and grew that into a peer tutor role a couple times a week during lunch my senior year of high school. What I hope to accomplish with my tutoring is ensure that you not only achieve your desired grade/score, but see how the different concepts relate to each other in the bigger picture. The more important part is to critically think about the subject matter in other, more unfamiliar contexts. Also, in my math subjects, I seek to provide personal secrets in realms including quicker computation strategies, unique acronyms for certain rules, and other intuitive shortcuts.

Dana

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.

I am a junior at Purdue University studying Aerospace Engineering and am part of the Air Force ROTC program. I have 6 years of tutoring experience at places including Kumon, Mathnasium, and Purdue University. I have worked with kids of all ages from kindergarten to sophomores in college, each with their own set of unique strengths, and tutored a variety of subjects, including calculus, trigonometry, geometry, thermodynamics, chemistry, and physics. Like many of my previous students, I struggled to understand concepts that I was being taught and was a terrible test taker. However, I found ways to overcome my obstacles and develop an better intuition for what I was learning. I believe that it is only this intuition and understanding that helps overcome these obstacles. My least favorite thing to see people be discouraged, so with a little bit of guidance and reassurance, I want to show people that they are capable of anything they put their mind to.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

The ACT English section tests your ability to identify and correct errors in grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure, as well as your understanding of rhetorical skills like organization and style. You'll have 45 minutes to answer 75 questions across five prose passages, which means pacing is critical. The section focuses on practical writing skills rather than memorizing grammar rules, so understanding *why* something is correct matters more than rote memorization.

Score improvement depends on your starting point and consistency with practice, but students typically see 2-4 point gains with focused preparation over 8-12 weeks. The key is identifying your specific weak areas—whether that's comma usage, sentence structure, or rhetorical questions—and targeting those through targeted practice and strategy refinement. Many students find that understanding the question types and developing a systematic approach to each passage makes a significant difference in both accuracy and confidence.

The biggest challenge for most students is pacing—trying to read carefully while managing the clock across five passages in 45 minutes. Many also struggle with identifying the difference between grammatically correct answers and rhetorically effective ones, or miss nuanced punctuation rules like when a comma is optional versus required. Additionally, students often don't recognize that each question tests a specific skill, so they miss patterns that could help them answer similar questions more quickly.

A strong study plan typically involves three phases: (1) learning the grammar and rhetorical concepts tested, (2) practicing individual question types in isolation to build accuracy, and (3) taking full-section practice tests under timed conditions to develop pacing and stamina. Most students benefit from spacing their practice over 8-12 weeks rather than cramming, and reviewing every mistake—not just wrong answers, but questions you guessed on—is essential for improvement. Connecting with a tutor can help you identify which skills need the most attention based on your practice test results.

The key to timing is developing a consistent approach: spend 8-9 minutes per passage (including reading and answering all 15 questions), which leaves a buffer for review. Many students waste time re-reading passages multiple times; instead, read once with purpose and trust that you can locate specific information quickly when needed. Practicing with a timer and identifying which question types slow you down most—whether that's complex sentence structure questions or rhetorical questions—allows you to develop strategies that work for your pace.

Most students benefit from taking 4-6 full ACT practice tests under timed conditions spread throughout their preparation period, with at least one every 2-3 weeks. This gives you enough data to identify patterns in your mistakes and enough repetition to build confidence and consistency. Between full tests, focus on targeted practice with individual question types or passages where you're weaker, rather than taking practice test after practice test without reflection.

A tutor can diagnose your specific weak areas through practice test analysis, teach you the grammar and rhetorical concepts you're missing, and help you develop a personalized strategy for pacing and question approach. They can also help you understand *why* you're making mistakes—whether it's a knowledge gap, a careless error, or a timing issue—and give you targeted practice to address it. For students in Tulsa, connecting with a tutor who understands the ACT English format and has experience helping students improve their scores can accelerate your progress significantly.

Bring any recent practice tests you've taken, your score reports if available, and a list of specific topics or question types that confuse you. If you haven't taken a practice test yet, that's okay—your tutor can help you take one to establish a baseline and identify where to focus your efforts. It's also helpful to bring any study materials you've already used, so your tutor can build on what you've learned rather than starting from scratch.
