Patrick
BA University of Chicago
9+ Years Tutoring

English and linguistics training at the University of Chicago gave Patrick an unusual double lens for the ACT — he reads the English section as a linguist spotting systematic grammar patterns, and approaches Reading passages the way a literary analyst dissects argument and tone. His 35 composite reflects genuine comfort across all four sections, and his experience teaching ESL, academic writing, and critical reading to everyone from fifth graders to business professionals means he can adjust his explanations on the fly depending on where a student gets stuck.
