Award-Winning ACT English Tutors
serving Colorado Springs, CO

Scoring a 36 ACT composite required mastering the English section's particular blend of grammar rules and rhetorical strategy questions — knowing when a comma splice matters and when the real question is about paragraph organization. Jude approaches each passage type differently, teaching students to distinguish between punctuation-level fixes and big-picture decisions about tone and structure.

I am a neuroscience and psychology double major from CU Boulder working to go to PA school down the road. I am originally from the East coast, but definitely prefer the hiking here. I was a learning assistant (basically student focused teacher aid) at CU, and took a course to learn more effective pedagogy. Afterwards, I was asked to be a mentor, and continued trying to help as much as I can.

I am a student at the Georgia Institute of Technology studying Chemical Engineering. For the past several years, I have worked with students extensively. Through hosting events for younger kids to learn about STEM and for older teens to practice empathetic design, I know the importance of teaching students in ways that engage them rather than frustrate them, which I apply to my teaching. I have tutored high school students in a drop-in resource center in various subjects including math of all levels, chemistry, and English, making me adequately equipped in a variety of topics. I have also tutored several students long-term. Establishing relationships with students and exploring their unique learning styles is my favorite part of tutoring. I prioritize helping students discover HOW to learn in a manner that is the most effective for them, so they can begin to use those skills on their own throughout their education. Learning is a lifelong skill that requires practice for improvement; I strive to help my students gain confidence in their ability to learn.

Engineering students read instructions literally — which turns out to be the exact mindset for the ACT English section, where "what sounds right" loses to knowing the actual rule behind each comma, transition, or sentence restructure. Christian's 34 ACT composite and his mechanical engineering training at Oklahoma Christian give him a systematic, no-guesswork approach to the grammar conventions and conciseness questions the test leans on hardest. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am a graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry as well as MCD (Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental) Biology while minoring in Chemistry in 2015. I love exploring all of the cool things that this world has to offer. By dabbling in a little of everything I can set my sights on what really holds my attention. My primary interests lie in the sciences, where learning what makes our world turn drives my passion for knowledge.

Most ACT English mistakes come down to three things: comma rules, pronoun agreement, and transitions between ideas. Rosemary drills these high-frequency grammar concepts until students can spot errors at the pace the test demands — roughly 35 seconds per question. She also covers the rhetorical strategy questions that ask whether a sentence should be added, deleted, or moved.

Comma rules, pronoun-antecedent agreement, and rhetorical ordering questions make up the bulk of ACT English — and nearly all of them follow predictable patterns once you know what to look for. Graham scored a 33 ACT composite and walks students through each grammar and rhetoric category so they can spot errors by instinct on test day rather than second-guessing every answer.

The ACT English section tests grammar and rhetorical strategy in rapid succession, and most points are lost not on hard rules but on the subtler questions about sentence placement and tone. Rohith's 32 ACT composite included strong performance across all sections, and he teaches students to spot the patterns in punctuation, transitions, and conciseness that the test rewards.

I am an incoming first year medical student at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Aurora, Colorado. I graduated from the University of Virginia with a BS in Biomedical Engineering. Through the course of my undergraduate career, I served as a teaching assistant for Cell & Molecular Biology and both undergraduate and graduate versions of Introduction to MATLAB. I also have experience volunteering as a tutor from elementary to high school levels. In addition to teaching, I have personal experience with the ACT, SAT, AP, IB, and MCAT exams. I would like to now use my teaching experience to help local students in the subjects I encountered during my undergraduate career. I love teaching and work to make learning as easy as possible by employing games, shortcuts, and gradual build-up so that my students can improve to their desired performance levels.

I am a undergraduate student who is willing to help other students in subjects that they may be experiencing difficulties in.

Most students tackle ACT English by ear — picking whatever "sounds right" — but Austin treats it as a rule-based game, drilling the dozen or so grammar patterns the test leans on hardest, like comma usage with appositives and pronoun-antecedent agreement. His 33 ACT composite and computer science training at KU mean he's wired to think in systems, which clicks especially well for students who need structure over instinct. Rated 5.0 by students.

Licensed to teach high school and trained in philosophy — a discipline built on constructing airtight arguments — Paige reads ACT English passages the way she'd evaluate a thesis: checking whether every sentence earns its place, whether transitions actually connect ideas, and whether the punctuation follows rules rather than vibes. Her 32 ACT composite and 5.0 rating come from that same blend of rhetorical precision and grammar fundamentals she brings to every session.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I am currently a resident physician at Northwestern Hospital.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 current sophomore at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where I am majoring in Biology as part of the 7 Year Accelerated Medical Program. I am also minoring in Healthcare Economics and Policy. My favorite subjects in school are Chemistry, Biology, and Math, but I also enjoy the process of writing and editing thought provoking essays. During high school, I spent time tutoring for the National Honor Society. My approach to tutoring is to teach the concepts in a simplistic manner and reinforcing the concepts while adding difficulty through effective practice problems. In my free time, I have recently found myself reading, working out, drawing, and spending time with my siblings.

I am an undergraduate at Washington University in St. Louis majoring in Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology on the Premed track. I have two years worth of experience peer tutoring. I feel the most confident tutoring ACT preparation. During my time as a high school student, I worked from an ACT score of 25 to a 36 and developed many effective strategies that I will tailor to the students I tutor and understand the ins and outs of the test. In addition to working with high school peers, I have also enjoyed teaching private piano and violin lessons for elementary students. Helping people knock down their roadblocks is a passion of mine. Standardized tests and basic education may feel removed from our passions, but developing those foundations are essential for opening up opportunities and becoming capable of taking on our pursuits.

Scoring a 36 ACT composite while juggling IB Chemistry gave Sreya firsthand experience with the kind of intense, efficient prep the English section demands — she learned to stop debating what "sounds right" and instead treat each question as a quick pattern-match against a short list of grammar rules the test reuses. Her chemistry background actually reinforces this: identifying the type of error before picking a fix is the same systematic thinking she uses in a lab. Rated 5.0 by students.

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.

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.

Punctuation rules, subject-verb agreement across long modifying phrases, and rhetorical strategy questions each require a different kind of attention on ACT English. Rhea tackles these by teaching students to read the surrounding sentences — not just the underlined portion — which is where most careless errors originate. Her 36 ACT composite means she's mastered the pacing and pattern recognition this section demands.

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.

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 looks deceptively easy until students realize it's testing precise grammar rules — comma splices, subject-verb agreement across long clauses, and rhetorical strategy questions that require reading like an editor. Aleeza earned a 36 composite and treats this section as a set of learnable patterns, drilling the specific conventions that appear most frequently so students stop second-guessing their answers.

I am a sophomore at the Georgia Institute of Technology and am working towards a major in Computer Engineering. I have been tutoring students of all ages and backgrounds in various math topics ranging from elementary school math to AP Calculus throughout high school. I love teaching math and always find it amazing to watch my students grow and improve in their mathematical abilities. While helping students with standardized testing, we go through several tricks and tactics that have helped my students succeed and have fun in the process. I am also well versed in Physics and have spent 3 years taking the highest levels of physics courses. I love playing all sports (especially soccer) and enjoy playing the guitar in my free time as well.

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.

I'm Lizz, a middle school math teacher working in Chicago Public Schools. I love to see students go from describing themselves as "not a math person" to feeling like they meet exciting challenges in math and other parts of their lives. Even though I love working in the classroom, I feel like tutoring allows me to make more of an impact and connect with students.
