Scoring a 35 ACT composite means Roshni knows exactly where the math section tries to trip students up — especially on coordinate geometry, matrices, and trigonometry questions that appear in the final third. She teaches students to identify which formula a problem is really testing and how to eliminate answer choices quickly when time is tight. Rated 4.9 by students.

Most ACT Math questions boil down to algebra and coordinate geometry concepts that Devan drills regularly as a finance major at UVA — rate problems, function behavior, and data interpretation are baked into his coursework. His 34 ACT composite means he's personally navigated the pacing pressure of the 60-question format and knows which shortcuts actually hold up under time constraints. Rated 4.7 by students.
I am a sophomore electrical engineering student and member of the honors college at Virginia Commonwealth University. I recently graduated from Maggie L. Walker Governor's School in June of 2017. I have a passion for mathematics, especially calculus, and am excited to share my knowledge with others.
I am ready to help all students by answering their questions and frequently addressing some questions to them....
Scoring a 32 ACT composite while holding deep expertise from pre-algebra through differential equations, Kyle tackles ACT Math by teaching students to recognize which tool a problem actually requires. The test mixes algebra, geometry, and trigonometry in deliberately unfamiliar contexts, and he shows how to cut through the disguise and identify the underlying concept in seconds.
I am currently a student at the University of Pittsburgh! I originally hail from the DC area. I have been tutoring for about 2 years and have a lot of experience because my family has a huge teaching background. I am majoring in biochemistry and psychology but I love to write and read books! I love to tutor not only because I love to teach but also because I love to meet new people and help people lead happier lives.
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.
Scoring high on ACT Math isn't about knowing advanced topics — it's about solving pre-algebra through trigonometry questions accurately under tight time pressure. Anmol, who earned a 33 ACT composite and studies computer science at Virginia Tech, tackles the section strategically, teaching students which problems to attack first and where to spot shortcuts in coordinate geometry and function questions.
I am currently a lead preschool teacher. I received my Bachelor's in Psychology from VCU and am looking to return to school to further my education. While in college, I worked as a Supplemental Instruction leader, teaching general biology and anatomy. I have also worked in an after school program with elementary age children, but I have my fondest memories volunteering as a counselor for Camp Kesem. In my own experience, I loved school and now I love teaching even more at all age levels! I especially enjoy the challenge of getting creative to discover what approach and mediums work best for each student. I am available for in person as well as online tutoring.
I'm currently a Junior at VCU. My major is Biology and I'm minoring in Chemistry and Mathematics. In addition, I'm also on the pre-med track, so I have taken many science classes!
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.
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.
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 composite and a pacing approach built around identifying which of the 60 problems deserve full attention and which can be solved in under 30 seconds. Rated 5.0 by students.
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 so they can allocate time strategically across all 60 questions.
I am currently a resident physician at Northwestern Hospital.
Scoring high on ACT Math means handling 60 questions in 60 minutes, which leaves no room for getting stuck on coordinate geometry or probability problems. Anna earned a perfect 36 ACT composite and teaches a triage strategy — identifying which questions to solve immediately, which to set up and return to, and which to skip strategically. That pacing discipline is often the difference between a 30 and a 34+.
A chemical engineering degree means Alex didn't just memorize formulas — he used trigonometry, coordinate geometry, and logarithms daily in coursework at Washington and Lee. On the ACT Math section, he teaches students to recognize which of the 60 questions are designed to waste time and which reward a quick conceptual shortcut. His perfect 36 ACT composite came partly from that kind of strategic pacing.
Elliot's neuroscience PhD required heavy quantitative work — experimental design, statistical modeling, data analysis — which keeps the algebra, probability, and graph-reading skills central to ACT Math sharp and automatic. He scored a 36 ACT composite and uses that familiarity with the test's structure to teach students how to quickly classify each of the 60 questions by type and apply the most efficient solution path. Rated 5.0 by students.
The ACT Math section rewards speed as much as knowledge, and Sugi teaches students to recognize which of the 60 questions are quick wins versus time traps. Her perfect 36 composite and strong math background — through calculus and physical chemistry at Rice — mean she can explain underlying concepts when a student needs more than just a shortcut.
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.
Scoring a 36 composite on the ACT required Benjamin to move through the Math section's 60 questions with speed and precision, from basic proportions all the way to matrices and trigonometric identities. He teaches the pacing strategies and pattern-recognition shortcuts that let students avoid getting bogged down on mid-section problems and still reach the harder questions with time to spare.
Most ACT Math questions reward quick recognition over deep calculation — knowing instantly whether a problem is testing coordinate geometry, function behavior, or a ratio setup. Logan's 36 ACT composite came from exactly that kind of systematic categorization, and he teaches students to classify each of the 60 questions within seconds so they spend their time solving, not figuring out what's being asked. Rated 5.0 by students.
Most ACT Math questions below #40 test algebra and proportional reasoning that Austin, with a 33 composite and 1570 SAT, can break down into repeatable two- or three-step routines — the kind of efficiency that turns a rushed 60-minute sprint into a manageable pace. His classics and philosophy training also sharpened his ability to parse tricky word problems, pulling the actual mathematical question out of deliberately confusing setups.
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!
Chemical engineering at Michigan means Edward solves problems daily where algebra, trig, and unit conversions aren't textbook exercises — they're how you size a heat exchanger or model fluid flow. That applied math instinct, paired with a 36 ACT composite, lets him show students the fastest way to decode each of the 60 questions rather than grinding through every calculation from scratch. Rated 4.8 by students.
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 triage — figure out what matters most and act on it fast — and Jiatian applies that same instinct to ACT Math, teaching students to read a problem, identify the core concept being tested, and pick the most efficient solve path without getting tangled in extra information. Her Rice University math foundation covers the algebra, geometry, and probability spread across the section, and she's particularly sharp at showing students how to avoid the trap answers designed to catch rushed mistakes on the back half of the 60-question lineup.
Scoring a 35 ACT composite while pursuing mechanical engineering at Harvard, Christopher brings genuine mathematical fluency to ACT Math prep. He zeroes in on the topics that appear most frequently — logarithms, trigonometric identities, coordinate geometry — and teaches time-saving shortcuts so students aren't scrambling in the final ten questions.
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 also tutored in the past for ACT/SAT and other subjects such as history, but I am deeply passionate about science and engineering. I tend to push my students to understand conceptual topics, as opposed to rote or algorithmic learning. In my free time, I love to bake sourdough, learn about history, garden, and recently started biking again.
I am no longer needed.
I am excited to help anyone who might need it!
I am a recent magna cum laude graduate of Duke University and a full-time educator in North Carolina. I have a passion for helping young people figure things out and have experience writing professionally.
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 their calculator, a habit that eliminates careless errors. His structured practice approach starts simple and scales up, building both accuracy and confidence for test day.
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.
I am passionate about helping students with math, science, test prep, and more! As sophomore undergraduate at Brown University studying Mathematics and Biophysics, I am well experienced with many topics. I received a perfect 36 on my ACT, so I am very confident with test taking.
Scoring high on ACT Math means handling everything from pre-algebra ratios to trigonometric identities within a single 60-minute sprint. Ryne's 36 ACT composite and his advanced coursework through linear algebra and multivariable calculus give him the range to tackle every difficulty level, and he teaches students which problems to solve quickly and which deserve extra time.
A year as a course assistant in Harvard's math department gave Richard a deep bench of ways to explain concepts when the first approach doesn't click. On ACT Math, he zeroes in on the topics that appear most frequently in the 50s and 60s — coordinate geometry, trigonometric identities, matrices, and logarithms — where most students leave points on the table. His 36 composite confirms he can execute under the test's tight time pressure.
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's back-solving, plugging in values, or a direct calculation. That efficiency is what turns a good math student into a top scorer.
Scoring well on ACT Math means covering a huge range — from pre-algebra through trigonometry — under serious time pressure. Liz earned a 34 ACT composite and has spent years teaching math at the middle school level, so she's particularly sharp at diagnosing which content gaps are costing the most points. She builds targeted practice around those gaps and layers in pacing strategies so students aren't rushing the last ten questions.
Scoring a 35 ACT composite means Sydney tackled the Math section's full range — from coordinate geometry and trigonometric identities to probability and matrices — under real time pressure. She approaches ACT Math as a strategic exercise, teaching students which problems to solve algebraically, which to estimate, and how to manage pacing so they aren't rushing the final ten questions.
