Rahul
I am a recent graduate of Cornell University, where I received a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and graduated Magna Cum Laude. Over the past several years, I have worked with students from diverse backgrounds and experiences tutoring thermodynamics (my personal favorite), chemistry, and math. I have a...

Emily
Scoring a 35 ACT composite means Emily knows how the math section tests concepts — it's less about advanced formulas and more about recognizing which tool to apply under time pressure, whether that's coordinate geometry, probability, or trigonometric identities. She breaks down each problem type so ...

Ilesh
Industrial engineering at Georgia Tech is essentially applied math under pressure — optimization, probability, statistical modeling — which maps neatly onto the algebra, functions, and data questions that fill the ACT Math section. Ilesh pairs that quantitative training with a perfect 36 ACT composi...

John
The ACT Math section covers everything from pre-algebra ratios to trigonometric identities, and the real challenge is pacing — not just knowing the math but recognizing which approach gets you to the answer fastest. John earned a 36 composite and teaches students to identify problem types on sight s...

Ishan
Scoring a 35 ACT composite means Ishan knows exactly what the Math section demands — speed on coordinate geometry, comfort with trigonometry, and the ability to translate word problems into equations in seconds. He teaches students to identify what each question is actually asking before touching th...

Rhea
One thing that separates a good ACT Math score from a great one is speed on the first 40 questions, leaving real time for the harder coordinate geometry and trigonometry problems at the end. Rhea earned a 36 composite and builds that efficiency by drilling the algebra and geometry shortcuts that let...

Vansh
Scoring a 36 composite on the ACT, Vansh treats the Math section as a speed-and-strategy challenge as much as a content test. He identifies which of the 60 questions are disguised algebra, which are coordinate geometry, and which are trigonometry traps — then teaches the shortcuts that keep pacing o...

Certified Tutor
Max
Every ACT Math question has a time budget of about one minute, which means knowing when to set up an equation versus when to backsolve or estimate is just as important as the math itself. Max earned a 36 composite and brings particular strength to the coordinate geometry and trigonometry problems th...

Benjamin
Benjamin scored a 36 on the ACT, and his approach to the Math section treats it as a strategy game as much as a math test. He teaches students to recognize problem types on sight — coordinate geometry, matrices, logarithms, trigonometry — and match each with the fastest solution method, whether that...

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you work with a tutor. Students typically see meaningful gains of 2-4 points within 8-12 weeks of focused preparation, though some improve faster depending on their baseline and the specific areas they need to strengthen. A tutor can help you identify which concepts are holding you back and create a targeted study plan to address them efficiently.
Your first session focuses on understanding your current strengths and weaknesses. A tutor will likely review your practice test results, discuss which math concepts feel most challenging, and learn about your timeline and goals. This helps create a personalized study plan that targets your specific needs rather than generic test prep.
Timing is one of the biggest challenges on ACT Math—you have 60 minutes for 60 questions, which means less than a minute per problem. A tutor can teach you which questions to prioritize, how to recognize when to skip and come back later, and strategies for working through problems efficiently without sacrificing accuracy. Practice with timed drills helps you build the speed and confidence needed on test day.
The best way is to take a full practice test under timed conditions and analyze your results by topic—algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and advanced math are the main categories. A tutor can review your practice tests to identify patterns in what you're missing, whether it's conceptual gaps, careless errors, or timing issues. Once you know your weak areas, you can dedicate study time where it matters most.
Yes—a big part of test anxiety comes from feeling unprepared or unsure about problem-solving strategies. Working with a tutor builds confidence through repeated practice with different question types, learning reliable approaches to tackle problems, and getting comfortable with the test format. As you develop stronger skills and see improvement in practice tests, the anxiety typically decreases significantly.
Most students benefit from 1-2 sessions per week over 8-12 weeks leading up to test day, though this depends on your starting score and timeline. Between sessions, you'll want to spend 3-5 hours on independent practice and homework. A tutor can help you create a realistic study schedule that balances depth of learning with consistent practice across all math topics.
Practice tests are essential because they simulate real test conditions and help you identify which concepts need work and where your timing breaks down. Taking full practice tests every 2-3 weeks lets you track progress, get comfortable with the format, and build stamina for the full exam. A tutor can review your practice test results with you to pinpoint exactly what to focus on next.
Look for a tutor with strong math knowledge, proven experience helping students prepare for the ACT, and familiarity with the specific question types and strategies that work. Ideally, they should have a track record of helping students improve their scores and be able to explain concepts clearly in different ways. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors in Louisville who specialize in ACT Math preparation and understand what it takes to succeed on test day.
