I'm a strong believer that education can be fun, and address learning with a sense of humor and a positive attitude. My approach to learning tends to be very communication-based, and often driven by how the client I'm working with feels they learn best. As a result, I tend to provide structure and guidance in a more flexible learning environment.

Punctuation, pronoun clarity, sentence structure, rhetorical strategy — the ACT English section packs a lot of grammar concepts into 45 minutes. Dylan teaches students to categorize each question type on sight so they can move through passages efficiently without losing accuracy. Rated 5.0 by students, he draws on his education degree to make grammar rules stick rather than feel arbitrary.

Most ACT English mistakes come down to a handful of grammar patterns — comma usage, subject-verb agreement across long modifying phrases, and redundancy. Heather scored a 35 ACT composite and approaches the section almost like a code: once students learn the dozen or so rules the test recycles, their accuracy jumps dramatically. She also digs into the rhetorical strategy questions that separate a 30 from a 35.

Hi, I'm Nic :) I have a Masters in philosophy and a Bachelors in computer science. I've worked as an educator for over a decade, thoroughly enjoy tutoring high school students, and can't wait to start working with you (or your student) towards persistent academic success! Feel free to reach out with any questions, https://linktr.ee/nickhh

Most ACT English mistakes come down to a handful of recurring grammar rules — subject-verb agreement across long clauses, comma usage with nonessential information, and rhetorical effectiveness questions about tone and organization. Daniel drills these patterns until students spot them instinctively, then layers in pacing strategies so nothing gets left on the table. He earned a 33 ACT composite and reads voraciously, which keeps his grammatical instincts sharp.

Neuroscience papers at Brown demand airtight prose — every misplaced modifier or ambiguous pronoun gets flagged in peer review, and Owen has internalized that editorial reflex through years of scientific writing. He applies it to the ACT English section by teaching students to treat each underlined segment as a specific rule being tested (comma after introductory clause, parallel structure, redundant phrasing) rather than reading for what "sounds right." His 33 ACT composite confirms the approach holds up under test-day pressure.

A Classics degree from Reed means Marilyn spent years translating Latin prose with surgical attention to grammar — parsing verb agreement, modifier placement, and clause structure in ways that map almost perfectly onto what the ACT English section tests. She scored a 34 ACT composite and uses that grammatical fluency to teach students the punctuation and sentence-level rhetoric questions as rule-based decisions, not guesswork. Rated 4.8 by students.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder. I received my Bachelor of Science in Chemical and Biological Engineering with a minor in French. During my time at CU, I studied abroad in Paris, as well as being a Teaching Assistant for Chemistry, Biology, and Fluid Mechanics for engineers and often helped my peers with homework. During the summer and fall I teach percussion for a local high school marching band. While I tutor a variety of math and science topics, my favorite subjects are chemistry and physics, as I love exploring the ways in which the world works. Education is of the highest importance to me, and I wish to share this passion with my students. In my spare time, I like to read suspense novels, play a variety of string instruments, and play Legend of Zelda.

Scoring a 33 ACT composite while on USC's pre-med track means Nikita balances scientific precision with strong language instincts — she knows the grammar rules the English section cycles through, but she also teaches the rhetorical strategy questions where you have to judge whether a sentence actually earns its place in a passage. Her Spanish minor adds a second grammar system that sharpens her ability to explain English conventions like subject-verb agreement and pronoun reference from the ground up, not just by ear. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am applying to medical schools to attend Fall 2016 and I like to play basketball, go backpacking and volunteer with youth in my free time.

Finishing an honors English thesis on Octavia Butler and Toni Morrison means Sammi has spent years dissecting how sentences are built — the kind of close editorial reading that maps directly onto the ACT English section's questions about sentence structure, redundancy, and paragraph organization. Her 33 ACT composite backs up that instinct, and she's especially sharp at teaching students to recognize when an answer choice adds words without adding meaning, a trap the test sets constantly.

I am open to helping students practice speaking, reading, and writing without any judgment. I am open to helping you learn Chinese or Japanese no matter where you are in the learning process.

Comma rules, pronoun agreement, and sentence structure questions make up the bulk of ACT English, but the real challenge is learning to hear the difference between what sounds right and what is right. Laura breaks the 75-question section into targetable grammar patterns so students stop second-guessing themselves and start recognizing errors on sight. Her own 32 ACT composite backs up the approach.

As a computer engineering student at Michigan, Paul reads and writes code all day — and the ACT English section rewards that same instinct for spotting exactly where something breaks in a sequence of otherwise functional parts. He scored a 32 ACT composite and is particularly effective at teaching the punctuation and sentence structure rules the test cycles through, since he treats each question like a syntax error: identify the rule being violated, apply the fix, move on.

Scoring a perfect 36 ACT composite while studying Industrial Engineering at Georgia Tech means Ilesh learned to treat every problem — including grammar — as a system with rules you can map and apply. He zeroes in on the English section's punctuation and sentence structure questions by teaching the handful of patterns the test actually recycles, so students stop second-guessing what "sounds right" and start recognizing what's structurally correct. Rated 5.0 by students.

Scoring a 36 ACT composite means John knows exactly how the English section tries to trip students up — from comma splice traps to rhetorical strategy questions buried in transition sentences. His English and Drama background gives him a natural ear for the grammar and style conventions the test rewards, and he teaches students to spot the patterns that make 75 questions in 45 minutes manageable.

Running through the Honors Program in Medical Education at Northwestern meant Anna was writing and editing scientific prose from her first undergraduate year — tightening arguments, cutting redundancy, and enforcing precise punctuation under deadline, which is essentially the ACT English section at higher speed. She scored a 36 ACT composite and teaches the rhetorical strategy questions (paragraph placement, writer's-goal prompts, transition logic) as structured decision trees rather than subjective judgment calls. Rated 5.0 by students.

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 currently a resident physician at Northwestern Hospital.

Scoring a 36 ACT composite while juggling a chemical engineering curriculum at Washington and Lee means Alex learned to read and edit fast — a skill that pays off on the English section's 75 questions in 45 minutes, where hesitation on any single punctuation or rhetoric question eats into the clock. His medical school training at Arizona adds another layer: writing and revising under pressure is now second nature, and he teaches the section's recurring patterns (verb-tense shifts, pronoun agreement, passage-level organization) as a systematic checklist rather than a feel-it-out exercise.

Elliot earned a 36 ACT composite, and his approach to the English section zeroes in on the handful of grammar rules — comma splices, modifier placement, parallelism, pronoun agreement — that appear on nearly every test form. Beyond mechanics, he also tackles the rhetorical strategy questions, teaching students how to evaluate whether a sentence should be added, deleted, or repositioned within a passage.

Most ACT English mistakes come down to a handful of grammar rules applied inconsistently — comma splices, pronoun-antecedent disagreement, redundancy. Christopher scored a 35 composite and drills these patterns until students spot errors almost reflexively, then tackles the trickier rhetorical strategy questions that separate good scores from great ones.

The ACT English section rewards students who can spot rhetorical strategy questions hiding among grammar items — knowing when the test is asking about sentence placement versus subject-verb agreement changes everything. Austin scored a 33 ACT composite and brings a Classics background that makes parsing sentence structure second nature. He teaches students to distinguish between questions testing conventions and those testing rhetoric, which cuts down on careless errors.

I am a Neuroscience and Behavior major at Columbia University. Although my major is centered in the STEM field, I am also passionate about human rights work, global engagement, and local outreach. While my future plans are subject to change, I see myself continuing in academia, going to medical school, and becoming a physician.

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.

Medical school trains you to read dense passages fast and extract exactly what matters — Jiatian applies that same triage instinct to the ACT English section, where 75 questions in 45 minutes rewards quick, decisive editing over deliberation. As a Rice AB graduate now finishing med school, she treats each underlined portion as a rule-based decision point, drilling students on the specific punctuation and rhetorical patterns the test repeats until choosing the right fix becomes automatic.

Most ACT English mistakes come down to a handful of grammar and rhetoric patterns that repeat across every test. Benjamin, who scored a 36 composite and studies English at Columbia, drills students on the specific punctuation rules, transition logic, and concision principles that the ACT actually tests — so nothing on test day feels unfamiliar.

Studying communication and ministry meant Logan spent years dissecting how language persuades — sermon structure, rhetorical clarity, concise phrasing — which maps surprisingly well onto the ACT English section's rhetoric and organization questions. He pairs that background with a 36 ACT composite and teaches the punctuation rules the test loves to recycle (comma usage, apostrophes, semicolons) as quick pattern-recognition decisions rather than gut calls. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am a Yale graduate with over 8 years experience tutoring students from a variety of backgrounds. I recently graduated from the Yale School of Public Health with a MPH concentrating in Epidemiology and Global Health. I also received my B.S. from Yale with a double major in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and French. I have experience both leading group classes and working with students one on one. I will respond to a student's strengths, weaknesses, and learning style in order to help them succeed and make the most of our time together. I earned a perfect score of 36 on the ACT, 2280 on the SAT, and qualified as a National Merit Scholar on the PSAT. I look forward to working with you!

I am available to tutor a range of middle school and high school subjects, but I am most excited about tutoring test prep. I remember how stressful preparing for college can be and I am eager to do my part in helping students fulfill their college goals. I believe that learning is a collaborative process and I am committed to being as actively involved in the student's learning as I can. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, going to the movies (I try to see each Oscar nominee before the ceremony every year.), and am a huge Michigan sports fan.

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.

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.

I'm referring to math, of course, but I didn't always like the subject. Until about age 16, I thought of math as a boring, mind-numbing process of blindly memorizing formulas and then forgetting them after the test, but a series of wonderful teachers showed me the truth. I had thought that everything in math was invented arbitrarily just to torture students, but actually it all made sense in a deep way. When I caught a glimpse of what math really was, I found it irresistible and I ended up majoring in math in college at UChicago. I'm currently a Master's student in Computer Science at NYU.

Scoring a 36 on the ACT meant Dennis had to master the grammar and rhetoric rules that drive the English section — comma usage, parallel structure, transitions, and redundancy traps. He breaks these into learnable categories so students can spot patterns quickly instead of relying on what "sounds right." His approach turns a section many students guess through into one of the easiest to improve.

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.

Most ACT English mistakes come down to a handful of grammar patterns — comma splices, subject-verb agreement across long phrases, and misplaced modifiers — that repeat throughout the test. Alyssa teaches students to spot these specific patterns quickly, drawing on her own 35 composite score and her experience editing college-level writing.

I am passionate about helping students with math, science, test prep, and more! As sophomore undergraduate at Brown University studying Mathematics and Biophysics, I am well experienced with many topics. I received a perfect 36 on my ACT, so I am very confident with test taking.

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.

Punctuation rules and rhetorical effectiveness questions trip up different types of students on ACT English, and Richard diagnoses which category is costing points before drilling the fixes. His 36 ACT composite means he's navigated every question type — comma splices, dangling modifiers, transition logic, redundancy — and can explain the reasoning behind each answer choice. A Government major at Harvard, he brings genuine comfort with written English to every session.

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.
