Satvik
AP Statistics Tutor • +68 Subjects
I am an incoming college sophomoore studying Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I was one of the top scholars at Carmel High School in Indiana and have various experiences teaching and tutoring through leading the Carmel High School Science Olympiad team to Nationals for two years in a row. Many of my friends consistently come to me for help with various subjects because of my willingness to help and teach in a way that makes sense to everyone. My specialities are physics, chemistry, math, and economics but I am comfortable tutoring any STEM subject, the SAT, and the ACT. Some of my accomplishments include a perfect 36 ACT score, 800 on the Physics, Math Level 2, and Chemistry SAT subject tests, and a 5 on all the physics, Calculus BC, Chemistry, Macroeconomics, Computer Science, etc. AP exams. When teaching, I focus on making sure that not only do students understand different concepts, but also that students understand why and practical applications of the different concepts. As a recent high school graduate, I have a deep understanding of how high-schoolers think, what is covered in various courses now, and can connect with my students a lot more. Additionally, as an undergraduate teaching assistant at the College of Computing at Georgia Tech, I taught weekly recitation sections of 30 students and held weekly office hours. Therefore, I have lots of experience teaching and working with students.

Jeffrey
Pre-Calculus Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering PhD program at Rice University which will begin Fall 2020, and I am hoping to return to academia as a professor after earning my PhD. In the meantime, I am looking to share my passion for gaining knowledge, specifically in STEM, by educating the up and coming members of such a great field. I have experience tutoring both Calculus and Physics at Notre Dame, as well as experience as a Student Assistant for Differential Equations and Mechanics. I believe the key to learning is much deeper than learning to solve problems and that seeking knowledge is one of the best means for personal improvement.
Quinn
Calculus Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and current study habits. Students who work with tutors typically see meaningful gains within 8-12 weeks of consistent practice, especially when tutoring targets specific weak areas. Research on personalized 1-on-1 instruction shows it's one of the most effective ways to accelerate learning—students often improve faster than studying alone because tutors identify exactly where you're getting stuck and adjust their teaching accordingly.
Rather than promising a specific number, the best tutors focus on understanding your goals, diagnosing gaps in your knowledge, and building a study plan that gets you there. Some students need help with timing strategies, others with content mastery—your improvement will reflect your actual needs.
Tutors start by analyzing your practice test results to pinpoint exactly where you're losing points—whether it's specific question types, pacing issues, or content gaps. They'll work through problems with you to understand your thought process and find the root cause (do you misunderstand the concept, rush through questions, or second-guess yourself?).
Once weak areas are identified, tutors create targeted practice focused on those sections rather than having you study everything equally. This is much more efficient than generic test prep, since your time goes toward what actually moves your score.
Reading comprehension and math reasoning tend to be the toughest for many students, partly because they require both content knowledge and strong test-taking strategies. Reading struggles often come from pacing (running out of time), missing subtle details, or overthinking questions. Math challenges typically involve unfamiliar question formats, time pressure, or gaps in foundational skills.
Tutors address these through targeted strategies: for reading, teaching active annotation and question-first approaches; for math, breaking down problem types so you recognize them instantly and know the fastest solving method. The English and science sections also benefit from strategy coaching, especially around pacing and eliminating wrong answers efficiently.
Timing issues usually come from either reading too slowly, spending too long on hard questions, or not having a clear strategy for question difficulty. Tutors help you develop a pacing plan for each section—knowing exactly how many seconds you can spend per question and when to skip and return to harder problems.
Practice under timed conditions is key. Working with a tutor, you'll take timed practice tests and review your pacing afterward, adjusting your approach based on what actually works for your reading speed and problem-solving style. Over time, better pacing becomes automatic.
Absolutely. A big part of test anxiety comes from uncertainty—not knowing what to expect, doubting your abilities, or feeling unprepared. Personalized tutoring directly addresses this by building genuine confidence through mastery. When you understand the material, recognize question patterns, and practice successfully, anxiety naturally decreases.
Expert tutors also teach mental strategies for test day: how to stay calm when you encounter a hard question, when to breathe and refocus, and how to manage negative self-talk. Knowing you've practiced extensively and have a solid plan reduces nervous energy significantly.
Practice tests serve two purposes: diagnostic (identifying weak areas) and confidence building (simulating test day conditions). Tutors typically recommend taking a full, timed practice test early to establish your baseline, then using targeted practice on specific sections while working on weak areas. Once you're feeling stronger, you'll take more full tests under realistic conditions to build stamina and refine timing.
The key is reviewing every single question afterward—not just the ones you missed, but also ones you got right but weren't confident about. Tutors guide this review to extract the most learning and catch patterns in your mistakes.
ACT Aspire assesses the same core skills and content you're learning in school—English, math, reading, and science—but focuses on reasoning and application rather than pure memorization. A strong tutor understands both what's covered in class and what ACT Aspire specifically tests, helping you build the skills your school teaches while also training the test-specific strategies and timing that matter on test day.
The best tutoring bridges the gap between regular coursework and standardized testing, so you're not studying in isolation. Your tutor can explain how your algebra or writing skills transfer to ACT Aspire questions, making test prep feel like an extension of learning rather than something separate.
