Biomedical engineering at Texas A&M means Whitney writes dense technical reports daily — and that constant editing reflex is exactly what powers her through the ACT English section's 75 questions in 45 minutes, especially the conciseness and rhetorical strategy items where you need to cut filler fast. Her 35 ACT composite and 5.0 rating confirm she knows how to turn that instinct into repeatable test-day results.

I'm a freshman at Rice University, and planning to major in Mathematical Economic Analysis and Computer Science. I'm also a student athlete and a starting member of The Rice University Men's Golf Team so I understand time is crucial and will do my best to help you understand and not just memorize concepts so you don't have to spend time every week trying to understand the same thing. A lot of math concepts repeat themselves in high school and college. My core is in math and that is where I will be most efficient in helping a student. Aside from that, please let me know if you have any questions or need anything.

Tim

1+ Years Tutoring

Scoring a 35 ACT composite means Tim knows the English section inside out — the way it cycles through the same comma rules, rhetorical strategy questions, and sentence-placement problems test after test. He teaches students to categorize each question on sight so they can apply the right grammar or style rule in seconds. That systematic approach turns a section many students rush through into one of the easiest places to pick up points.

Rakhi
BA Columbia University in the City of New York
1+ Years Tutoring

An applied math major might seem like an odd fit for ACT English, but Rakhi's 1550 SAT proves she's sharp on the reading-and-writing side of standardized tests too — and math training builds the exact rule-based thinking that turns grammar questions from guesswork into pattern recognition. She tackles the section's punctuation and sentence structure questions as logical puzzles with finite rules, which clicks especially well for students who think analytically but freeze when asked what "sounds right." Rated 4.8 by students.

Paul

10+ Years Tutoring

Law school prep means living inside arguments about word choice and logical structure — Paul's heading to UT Law this fall, and that pre-legal training shapes how he tackles the ACT English section's rhetorical strategy and transition questions, where picking the right connector between ideas is more about reasoning than grammar instinct. His 34 ACT composite and background teaching both Spanish and ESL give him an unusually explicit grasp of English syntax rules that native speakers often can't articulate.

Meagen

9+ Years Tutoring

An English major at Carleton with a 34 ACT composite, Meagen reads and writes intensively enough that the section's grammar conventions — apostrophe rules, comma placement around clauses, subject-verb agreement buried under long modifiers — register as second nature rather than memorized lists. She's especially useful for students who already write well but freeze on the rhetorical strategy questions about paragraph structure and whether a sentence belongs, since that's the kind of editorial judgment her literature coursework drills daily.

Duy
BA Whitman College
1+ Years Tutoring

Rhetoric majors learn to dissect how sentences persuade — where emphasis falls, what's redundant, which transitions actually move an argument forward — and that's essentially what the ACT English section tests under a 45-minute clock. Duy pairs that rhetorical training with a 34 ACT composite and uses it to teach the passage-level strategy questions (sentence placement, paragraph relevance, writer's goal) that grammar-only prep tends to skip. He's especially good at showing students how to read each passage as a mini-argument rather than a collection of isolated error-correction problems.

Since high school, I've tutored and mentored students in all areas of STEM including Math, Science, and anything Computer Science/Technology related. I'm qualified to tutor in various academic subjects as well as ACT prep. But based on my past software engineering internship experiences at Apple and Microsoft, I am most confident in tutoring Computer Science topics ranging from specific coding languages to data structures, algorithms and coding projects.

I'm a born and raised Austinite and recently earned my Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from Texas A&M University in May 2015. I mostly tutor high school/college math and science courses, as well as SAT/ACT and MCAT prep. My favorite classes to help students with are biology, physics, biochemistry and statistics! I took 14 AP classes in high school, and retook many of the math and sciences class in college. I think this helps with tutoring because I learned the material multiple times and from many great teachers, so if a student doesn't understand a concept at first, I can hopefully explain it in another way that I've learned.

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Texas at Austin, majoring in physics and math. I plan on graduating in 2019. Afterwards, I plan on going to graduate school to get a PhD. During college, I have been involved in various outreach events with the Society of Physics students including events like ExploreUT, as well as giving tours in the physics building. I have also done outreach in high school. As a committee member of the Bergen Science Challenge, I was involved in the planning and execution of a county-wide science fair for middle school students at my magnet high school in New Jersey. I like to show to my students why I enjoy learning about math and physics, as there are many interesting things to be learned about how the world works. I greatly enjoy learning about the odd consequences of fields like quantum mechanics and relativity. I have also done tutoring in the past, both independently and through the National Honors Society in my high school. I tutor a large variety of subjects within physics and math, up to and including Calculus. In my academics, I use the majority of physics and math knowledge I have accumulated on a regular basis in my classes, so I know where math and physics concepts are used in higher level classes, as well as how they apply to concepts outside of the subject.

Frequently Asked Questions

Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you work with a tutor. Students typically see meaningful gains—often 2-4 points on the ACT scale—within 8-12 weeks of focused preparation, though some improve faster depending on their baseline skills and effort. The key is identifying your specific weak areas (grammar rules, rhetorical skills, or test strategy) and targeting those systematically rather than studying everything at once.

The ACT English section (75 questions in 45 minutes) tests two main skill areas: Usage/Mechanics (punctuation, grammar, sentence structure) and Rhetorical Skills (style, organization, strategy). You'll encounter passages with underlined portions where you choose the best revision, plus questions about overall passage organization and effectiveness. Understanding which question type you're facing—and what skill it's really testing—is crucial for both accuracy and pacing.

With 75 questions in 45 minutes, you have roughly 36 seconds per question—but not all questions take equal time. The strategy is to move quickly through straightforward grammar questions while spending a bit more time on rhetorical skills questions that require understanding the passage context. A tutor can help you identify which question types you naturally handle faster and which ones trip you up, so you can develop a personalized pacing strategy that maximizes your score.

The best way is to take a full practice test under timed conditions, then review every single question you missed or guessed on—not just to see the right answer, but to understand why you got it wrong. Were you unsure of the grammar rule? Did you misread the question? Did you run out of time? Tracking patterns across multiple practice tests reveals your real weak spots. A tutor can accelerate this process by analyzing your practice tests and pinpointing the specific grammar rules, question formats, or strategic mistakes that are holding back your score.

The most frequently tested rules include subject-verb agreement, pronoun clarity, comma usage, verb tense consistency, and modifier placement. ACT also heavily tests rhetorical skills like word choice precision and sentence combining for style and clarity. Rather than memorizing every grammar rule, focus on the ones that appear repeatedly in practice tests—that's where your score gains live. A tutor can help you master the high-frequency rules first so you see faster improvement.

Your first session typically focuses on assessment and strategy. You'll likely take a practice test or review recent ones to identify your specific weak areas, discuss your target score and timeline, and learn how the tutor will personalize your preparation. From there, you'll develop a study plan that targets your gaps—whether that's drilling grammar rules, practicing passage-based questions, or building test-taking stamina. The goal is to move from general ACT English prep into a focused plan that actually moves your score.

Most students benefit from taking 3-5 full practice tests under timed conditions, spaced throughout their preparation period. This gives you enough data to spot patterns in your mistakes and build test-day stamina without burning out on repetition. Between full tests, targeted practice on specific question types or grammar rules is more efficient than endless drilling. Your tutor can recommend a practice schedule based on your timeline and how quickly you're improving.

Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who understand ACT English inside and out and can personalize their approach to your learning style and goals. Whether you're aiming to break 30 or push toward 35+, you'll get matched with someone who has proven success helping students improve their scores. The right tutor will focus on your specific weak areas rather than generic test prep, making your study time count.
