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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A magna cum laude Duke graduate with professional writing experience, Frances knows how to dissect a sentence quickly — which is exactly what the ACT English section demands across its 75 questions on punctuation, rhetorical strategy, and passage organization. She zeroes in on the redundancy and transition questions that trip up students who otherwise know their grammar, teaching them to edit like a writer tightening a draft rather than a test-taker second-guessing by ear. Her 35 ACT composite and 4.6 rating back up the approach.

I'm referring to math, of course, but I didn't always like the subject. Until about age 16, I thought of math as a boring, mind-numbing process of blindly memorizing formulas and then forgetting them after the test, but a series of wonderful teachers showed me the truth. I had thought that everything in math was invented arbitrarily just to torture students, but actually it all made sense in a deep way. When I caught a glimpse of what math really was, I found it irresistible and I ended up majoring in math in college at UChicago. I'm currently a Master's student in Computer Science at NYU.

I am currently a student at Duke University studying Biomedical Engineering and Economics. Just a little bit about me and some of my interests. Some of my favorite academic interests include memoirs and modern classics. I think Catcher in the Rye is still one of my all time favorite books but Percy Jackson, a modern classic, is up there too. Beyond academics, I take great guilty pleasure in watching TV shows such as Westworld, Sherlock, How I Met Your Mother, and even The Bachelorette when I'm at a low point.

Computer science trained David to think in strict syntax — one misplaced character breaks everything — and that same precision applies to the ACT English section's punctuation and sentence structure questions, where a single comma or semicolon determines the correct answer. He teaches the section's grammar conventions as a finite rule set to apply systematically, which clicks especially well for students who struggle with the "pick what sounds right" approach. His 36 ACT composite and 5.0 rating speak for themselves.

Punctuation rules and rhetorical effectiveness questions trip up different types of students on ACT English, and Richard diagnoses which category is costing points before drilling the fixes. His 36 ACT composite means he's navigated every question type — comma splices, dangling modifiers, transition logic, redundancy — and can explain the reasoning behind each answer choice. A Government major at Harvard, he brings genuine comfort with written English to every session.

I am available to tutor in a broad range of subjects, though I am most passionate about Economics, History, and Civics. Please feel free to contact me and I would be happy to arrange a session.

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.

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.

I am excited to help anyone who might need it!

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.
