Award-Winning ACT English Tutors
serving Kennewick, WA

Most ACT English questions test the same handful of grammar rules disguised in different contexts — comma splices, pronoun agreement, parallel structure, and rhetorical effectiveness. With a 35 ACT composite and a degree in English, Grant can pinpoint exactly which rules a student keeps missing and drill those patterns until the corrections feel automatic.

Punctuation rules, subject-verb agreement, and rhetorical strategy questions make up the bulk of ACT English, and Angela tackles each category with targeted practice sets that expose the patterns the test reuses. She scored a 33 ACT composite and brings a sharp editorial eye from years of personal writing and substitute teaching across grade levels. Students walk away knowing not just which answer is correct, but why the other three fail.

Running a dual-language tutoring program in Mandarin and English gave Antonia an unusually concrete grasp of how grammar rules operate beneath the surface — the kind of structural awareness that makes the ACT English section's punctuation, transition, and conciseness questions feel like pattern matching rather than guesswork. She teaches across all levels of English and writing, so she can quickly pinpoint whether a student's errors stem from shaky fundamentals or just unfamiliarity with how the test frames its questions.

I am a professional scientist with multiple years of experience in the biopharmaceutical field. I have spent time in the classroom with elementary aged students and am comfortable with this age group. I am also familiar with AP classes and ACT/SAT preparation. I look forward to sharing my love of learning with students and helping them achieve academic goals!

I'm a sophomore at Vanderbilt University, majoring in Physics and Classics and minoring in Mathematics and Computer Science. I'm qualified to teach a wide variety of subjects, but prefer to focus on the fields I'm studying in school listed above; I have a passion for those areas that I want to share with everyone, no matter the education level or confidence. I believe that no one is "bad at math," but many people haven't been taught math and science concepts in a way that matches how they best learn. As a result, I try to tailor my teaching style to be the best it can be for each individual student. With regard to math and physics, I myself prefer a physical, graphical understanding of different concepts, so I do best at explaining what seemingly abstract concepts actually mean in the real world and how they act on a graph.

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.

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.

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 22 years old and just graduated from the University of Kentucky with a double degree in French and Biochemistry. I have been a tutor for over a year now at UK's tutoring center. I believe that anyone can learn anything with enough practice and encouragement, and I love helping students overcome challenges and gain more self-confidence!

Scoring a perfect 36 ACT composite means Ryne didn't just survive the English section's 45-minute sprint — he mastered the specific rhythm of its grammar and rhetoric questions, from comma rules around nonessential clauses to the passage-organization problems that reward reading like an editor. His political science background adds a layer of rhetorical awareness that's especially useful on questions about argument structure, transitions, and whether a sentence actually serves the writer's purpose. Rated 4.9 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!

The IB program drills a particular kind of writing discipline — structured arguments, precise language, relentless editing — and Vansh carried that training straight into his aerospace engineering work at Georgia Tech, where technical writing leaves zero room for ambiguity. That combination makes him especially sharp on the ACT English questions testing conciseness and sentence placement, where students need to cut wordiness and reorganize logic under time pressure rather than just fix punctuation. His 36 ACT composite and 5.0 rating back it up.

I am no longer needed.

After earning a perfect 36 on the ACT, Vivian developed a systematic method for the English section that sorts its 75 questions into a handful of recurring patterns: punctuation rules, pronoun agreement, sentence placement, and rhetorical strategy. She drills students on recognizing each pattern instantly so they can move through the section with time to spare. Her 4.9 rating speaks to how well that approach clicks.

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.

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.
