Award-Winning ACT Math Tutors
serving Springfield, MO

I am excited to help anyone who might need it!

I am an undergraduate at Washington University, and I grew up in Columbus, Ohio. Math has always been one of my favorite subjects. I love Pre-algebra, Calculus, Linear Algebra and everything in between! I have tutored for about four years and have worked with students of all ages. Most students come to me for Math, but I have also worked with students on SAT and ACT test prep, Statistics and Physics. Everyone learns in a slightly different way, and I love figuring out the best way to teach something to people individually and dig down to what questions they really need to have answered to understand the material. In my spare time, I like to go on long bike rides and explore St. Louis's restaurants. I also love baking, playing with dogs and cats, watching movies with my friends and playing soccer.

Scoring a 35 ACT composite required John to dominate the Math section, and he knows which topics carry the most weight — coordinate geometry, trigonometric identities, and logarithm properties show up repeatedly and are where most students leave points on the table. He teaches efficient problem-solving strategies that cut through the section's time pressure, so students spend seconds, not minutes, on questions designed to slow them down.

Teaching AP Chemistry and Honors Biology day in and day out means Samuel constantly uses the algebra, proportional reasoning, and data-analysis skills that fill the ACT Math section — he's the kind of tutor who can explain why a formula works because he applies it in a real classroom every day. His 34 ACT composite and 4.9 rating speak to both his command of the content and his ability to make it click under timed conditions.

A 34 ACT composite means Jacob handled the Math section's trickiest content — logarithms, matrices, trigonometric identities — under real time pressure. He teaches students to categorize each problem type on sight so they can allocate time strategically, spending seconds on straightforward algebra and saving energy for the higher-level geometry and pre-calc questions at the end.

The ACT Math section covers a wide arc from pre-algebra through trigonometry, and Joy has taught every stop along that path during her decade-plus career as an educator. She breaks down coordinate geometry, function notation, and trig identities into manageable steps so students can move through all 60 questions with confidence and speed.

Computational biology at Columbia means Sean spends his time writing code to model biological systems — work that demands constant fluency with algebra, probability, and data interpretation, which happen to be the three pillars of ACT Math. He scored a 34 composite and uses that experience to teach students how to quickly classify each of the 60 questions by type so they're never wasting time deciding *how* to start a problem. Rated 4.9 by students.

Scoring a 33 ACT composite means Katherine handled the Math section's jump from basic algebra to trigonometry and matrices under serious time pressure. She teaches students to recognize which formula or approach a problem is really testing, cutting through the ACT's tendency to disguise straightforward concepts in unfamiliar setups.

Scoring a 32 ACT composite means Parag knows how to navigate the Math section's time pressure and question progression from pre-algebra through trigonometry. He teaches students to recognize which formula or concept each problem is really testing, cutting through the wording to find the fastest path to the answer.

Most ACT Math questions test algebra and proportional reasoning that Kristen covers daily as a seventh-grade math and reading teacher — she knows exactly which foundational gaps cause students to stall on problems that should be quick points. Her 33 ACT composite backs up that content knowledge, and her classroom instinct for spotting where a student's thinking derails means practice sessions zero in on the specific skills that move scores rather than reworking material a student already owns.

Scoring a 34 ACT composite means Vijaya knows how the math section tests concepts like coordinate geometry, trigonometric identities, and probability under tight time constraints. She breaks down each problem type by identifying what the question is actually asking — a skill that eliminates the trap answers designed to catch rushed test-takers. Rated 5.0 by students.

Scoring well on ACT Math means handling 60 questions in 60 minutes, which leaves no room for second-guessing whether a problem needs the law of sines or a system of equations. Megan teaches students to categorize each question type on sight so they can select the right approach instantly. Her 33 ACT composite and her experience across algebra, calculus, and middle school math give her a clear read on where speed breaks down and how to fix it.

I am currently working towards an Aerospace Engineering degree at the University of Colorado, Boulder. In high school, I worked with 5th grade students tutoring math. Beyond that, I was always avaliable to help my classmates learn topics that I may have understood better at the time. Overall, math and science courses are my favorite to help people with because I enjoy those courses myself and think the knowledge is not hard to learn if given the right teacher and enough time. In teaching, I like to understand the level of comprehension the student has first before just going in and telling them what he/she should do. It is more effective to learn how to teach yourself the knowledge than to just be able to regurgitate it onto a test. Other than academics, I like playing basketball, video games, and just hanging out and messing around with friends.

Scoring a 33 ACT composite, Taylor knows that the Math section rewards speed as much as skill — students need to move efficiently through algebra, geometry, and trigonometry questions without getting stuck on any single problem. She walks through time-management strategies alongside the actual math, teaching students which question types to attack first and where to avoid common traps that eat up the clock.

Scoring a 34 ACT composite, Mubariz tackles the Math section by teaching students to recognize which concept each problem is actually testing — whether it's a disguised systems-of-equations question or a trigonometric identity hiding behind an unfamiliar setup. As a chemistry major at Washington University in St. Louis, he uses math daily and understands how algebra, geometry, and trig interlock across the 60-question sprint. He emphasizes strategic pacing alongside deep concept knowledge so students aren't just accurate but fast.

I am a dental student at University of Missouri-Kansas City and I will graduate with a DDS in 2025. I have benefitted immensely from study groups, peer workshops, and online resources during my time in undergrad, so I know how much a little extra work can help in the long run. I am excited to work with you to make your English, reading, writing, biology, or psychology goals a reality! When I'm not doing school stuff, I love to read, hang out with my foster cats, and spend time outside.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder. I am a Colorado native who enjoys rock climbing and nature. I work currently for a large international engineering consulting company and specialize in water engineering.

The ACT Math section covers a wide spread — from pre-algebra ratios all the way to trigonometric identities — and knowing where to spend your time matters as much as knowing the math. Shreya scored a 32 ACT composite and teaches students to recognize which problems to solve quickly and which deserve a second look. Rated 5.0 by students, she breaks each practice test into patterns so the real exam feels familiar.

I am a medical student at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. I love to work with students to help them reach their fullest potential.

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.

I'm Lizz, a middle school math teacher working in Chicago Public Schools. I love to see students go from describing themselves as "not a math person" to feeling like they meet exciting challenges in math and other parts of their lives. Even though I love working in the classroom, I feel like tutoring allows me to make more of an impact and connect with students.

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.

Mechanical engineering at Case Western means Kevin solves problems all day where algebra, trigonometry, and applied math aren't optional — they're the entire job. That instinct for picking the most efficient solution path is exactly what the ACT Math section rewards across its 60 questions, especially on the geometry and functions items where a shortcut can save a minute. His 36 ACT composite and 4.8 rating back up the approach.

Scoring a 33 ACT composite, Justin knows the math section's particular challenge: it's not that any single problem is hard, but that 60 questions in 60 minutes leaves zero room for hesitation. He teaches students to classify problems on sight — coordinate geometry, matrix operations, logarithm properties — and match each type to a fast solution path. His PhD in Computational Mathematics means he can also dig deeper when a student's underlying algebra or trig foundations need reinforcing.

Physics majors live and breathe the algebra, trigonometry, and graphical reasoning that make up the bulk of ACT Math — Dylan's Vanderbilt coursework means he solves these kinds of problems daily, not just on test day. He's especially strong at showing students what a function or equation actually looks like on a graph, which turns abstract questions into something visual and quick to solve. His 36 ACT composite backs up that approach.

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.

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.

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.

Zhenrui scored a 36 ACT composite, which means a perfect score on the Math section — the kind of result that comes from knowing exactly how the test frames questions on coordinate geometry, matrices, and trigonometric identities. He teaches students to spot which concept each problem is really testing, cutting through the ACT's tendency to dress up straightforward math in confusing language.

Most ACT Math questions below #40 test concepts students already know — the points get lost to pacing mistakes and misread setups, not missing knowledge. Asta, who scored a 35 ACT composite, coaches students to identify exactly what each problem is asking before touching their calculator, a habit that cleans up the careless errors that quietly drag scores down. Her 5.0 rating speaks to how well that disciplined, read-first approach clicks during timed practice.

Computational biology at Cornell means Emily spends her days translating messy biological data into precise mathematical models — so the algebra, probability, and trig concepts packed into ACT Math's 60 questions are tools she uses constantly, not abstract formulas she memorized once. She scored a 36 ACT composite and teaches students to identify what each problem is really testing before they start calculating, which cuts down on the second-guessing that burns clock in the back half of the section.
