Zeke
BA University of Virginia-Main Campus
7+ Years Tutoring

Scoring well on ACT Math isn't about knowing advanced topics — it's about executing algebra, geometry, and trig quickly under a brutal 60-minute time limit. Zeke, who earned a 34 composite, teaches students to identify which of the 60 questions are fast points and which deserve a strategic guess, then sharpens speed on the high-frequency problem types. That combination of triage and fluency is what moves scores from the low 20s into the 30s.

Jessica
BA University
7+ Years Tutoring

Jessica's 33 ACT composite came from an International Studies program at Richmond that was heavier on quantitative reasoning than most people expect — economics coursework meant constant exposure to the algebra, graphing, and data-interpretation skills that fill the math section. She teaches students to spot what each problem is actually asking before touching their calculator, which cuts through the section's trickiest setups.

Julian
Current Undergrad Student, Mechanical Engineering University of Virginia-Main Campus
9+ Years Tutoring

I'm Julian and I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Virginia. I have been there before. Repeatedly, there are moments where I do not understand a certain subject and I am in need of assistance. Even the most notable scholars need help at some point in their lifetime. For this reason, I'd like to repay the favor and help other students in need. More people than I can count have been there to help me and I would like to do the same with other students. To do this, I will tutor with an engaging and interactive environment. When assisting students, I like to go beyond explicit instructions. I strive for the student to fully understand the processes that we cover so that it sticks in the student's mind more effectively. Subsequently, I believe it is important to continue practicing the content individually. The main goal is to instill long term confidence in the student that surpasses what is being taught.

Earning a 36 ACT composite, Eric approaches the Math section as a pacing and pattern-recognition challenge as much as a content test. The first 40 questions reward speed and accuracy on pre-algebra through coordinate geometry, while the final 20 demand quick thinking on trigonometry and matrices — and he teaches students to shift gears between those two phases deliberately. His method turns the 60-minute time crunch from a source of panic into a manageable strategy.
