Still Not Hitting Your Target ACT Score After Months of Studying?
If your ACT score isn’t improving, even after multiple practice tests and months of reviewing mistakes, the problem is not effort.
Most ACT Verbal mistakes aren’t random. Students often repeat the same 3 to 4 reasoning errors over and over, which means they keep missing the same types of questions. Instead of another generic tutoring session, I’ll identify exactly what’s costing you points.
Send me your missed ACT Reading or English questions, and within 12 hours you’ll receive a personalized written analysis explaining:
• the recurring error patterns behind your missed questions
• why those traps keep working on you
• the specific reasoning adjustments that will help you avoid the traps on test day
I call this the Test Writer Method, a pattern-based diagnostic system I developed to identify recurring ACT reasoning mistakes and turn them into repeatable score improvements.
I’m an Ivy-trained academic (Johns Hopkins BA, Yale MA, Columbia MS) with more than 10 years of experience teaching reading, writing, and diagnostic reasoning.

What I Do:
You send me your missed ACT Reading or English questions.
I review the questions, answer choices, and your responses to identify your recurring reasoning patterns, not just the individual mistakes.
For each pattern, I explain:
• why it happens
• how the ACT is exploiting it
• exactly how to adjust your thinking before your next test
This is a personalized written diagnostic, not a generic tutoring session.

Example of my Test Writer Method Analysis:
Trap Pattern: The Too Far Answer
Passage sentence:
“Although the inventor initially doubted whether the device would be useful, she continued refining the design after receiving positive feedback from early users.”
Question:
The passage suggests that the inventor:
A) eventually became certain the device would be successful
B) changed her approach after receiving evidence that the device had potential
C) continued working on the device despite having some initial uncertainty
D) created the device primarily because users demanded it
Correct answer: C
Why a student might miss it:
A student may choose A because it sounds logical:
“If she kept working after receiving positive feedback, she must have become confident it would succeed.”
But the passage never says she became certain.
The answer goes one step beyond what the author actually states.
The Test Writer Method diagnosis:
The ACT often creates wrong answers by taking a true idea from the passage and adding:
• an assumption
• an exaggeration
• a stronger claim
• an implication the author never made
The fix:
Before selecting an answer, ask:
“Can I point to the exact words in the passage that prove every part of this answer?”
The correct answer is usually the one that says exactly what the author said—no more, no less.
This is the type of hidden reasoning pattern I identify across your missed questions.

For Students and Parents:
If a student keeps narrowing answers to two choices and choosing the wrong one, they may not need more hours of practice tests and generic unfocused review.
They may need to understand the recurring reasoning patterns causing their mistakes.
The goal is not to memorize more rules; it’s to identify the hidden patterns behind missed questions and stop repeating the same mistakes. This is precision-based ACT score improvement, not generic tutoring.
