Raquel
BA Case Western Reserve University • Doctor of Dental Science, Predentistry UCLA School of Dentistry
7+ Years Tutoring

I am currently attending UCLA School of Dentistry. I have spent a big chunk of my life tutoring. I had 600 hours of volunteer experience tutoring 5th graders in language. I also was the Tutoring Head of the Science National Honor Society in high school and spent every week tutoring high school level biology and chemistry. I spent one summer working at Kumon tutoring children in basic math and reading. In college, I spent two years tutoring adults to pass their GED. I was also an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant (UTA) for a development and physiology biology class, as well as a Peer Tutor for other intro level biology classes. If you chose me as your tutor, I look forward to working with you and helping you be the best student you can be!

Chandler
Current Undergrad, Chemistry Occidental College
1+ Years Tutoring

Scoring high on ACT Math means moving fast through 60 questions that jump between coordinate geometry, trigonometry, matrices, and probability without warning. Chandler earned a 34 ACT composite and uses his chemistry-trained quantitative instincts to teach strategic shortcuts — like recognizing which problems to set up algebraically versus which to back-solve. He emphasizes pacing drills alongside content review so students don't run out of time on the harder back-half questions.

Nina
BA Southern Methodist University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Southern Methodist University. I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre Studies, with a focus on acting and directing. Since beginning high school, I have spent much of my extracurricular and summer time tutoring, mentoring, and counseling students elementary though high school age. While a tutor a fair amount of subjects, I sincerely enjoy exploring English, Literature, and French. I love the English and Literatue because both subjects connect deeply to my love for theatre, and I love French because I have lived in France twice; once when I was 7 in Paris, and again when I was 16 in the Nord Pas-de-Calais region. I would say my teaching style depends directly on the student, but generally, I love acting like I'm a student too and find fun ways to address the issues they're facing in practical ways. I always try to get my students to appreciate the skills they develop by showing them how they're useful in everyday life. When I'm not tutoring, I enjoy trying new restaurants, going for a swim, practicing my singing, and going to acting class.

I'm Katrina--a recent transplant to LA and also a recent grad of Yale University! Reading and writing have been integral to my life over the past few years as a Film and Media Studies and Sociology double major. I believe that crafting text can be a fun hobby and a very useful skill. Yet, it can often be challenging. I know what it is like to need help with schoolwork, and I know what it is like to provide that help for others. I believe that with patience and effort, we can solve any problem!

A 36 on the ACT Math section means Jackie has already navigated every question type the test throws — from coordinate geometry and matrix operations to probability and trigonometric identities. She breaks the section into a pacing strategy that prioritizes banking time on the first 40 questions so students have breathing room for the harder final 20. Rated 5.0 by students.

The ACT Math section covers a wide spread from pre-algebra through trigonometry, and the challenge is often pacing rather than difficulty. Sarah scored a 35 composite and teaches students to quickly identify which formula or concept each question is really testing, especially on the coordinate geometry and functions problems that eat up the most time.

Kevin
BA University of California-Santa Barbara
8+ Years Tutoring

Kevin scored a 33 on the ACT, and his approach to the Math section is built around speed and pattern recognition — knowing instantly whether a problem is testing coordinate geometry, trigonometric identities, or probability, then applying the fastest solution path. He teaches students to spot the 10-15 questions that most test-takers waste time on and develop specific strategies for each type. That kind of targeted prep turns a good math foundation into a score that actually reflects it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Score improvement varies based on your starting point and commitment level, but students typically see gains of 2-5 points on the ACT Math section (which ranges from 1-36) with focused preparation. Students who start lower often see larger percentage improvements, while those already scoring in the high 20s may see more modest gains. The key is identifying your specific weak areas—whether that's algebra, geometry, or test-taking pacing—and addressing them systematically with targeted practice and strategy refinement.

The ACT Math section gives you 60 minutes for 60 questions, so you have exactly one minute per question on average. However, effective pacing means spending less time on easier problems and reserving more time for challenging ones. A smart approach is to do a quick first pass, marking questions to revisit, then return to harder problems with fresh eyes. Tutors work with students to practice this strategy through timed drills, helping you develop pace awareness and decision-making skills about which problems to tackle first.

ACT Math covers algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and data analysis, with many students struggling most with trigonometry and function problems. Other frequent pain points include algebra word problems (which require translating language into equations), geometry proofs and spatial reasoning, and questions requiring multiple steps. Los Angeles students benefit from identifying their personal weak areas through diagnostic practice tests, then focusing preparation there rather than re-studying already-solid skills. This targeted approach is far more efficient than generic test prep.

Taking 4-6 full practice tests during your preparation period allows you to become comfortable with the test format, identify patterns in your mistakes, and track score progress over time. Beyond full tests, targeted practice on specific problem types is equally important—spending time on algebra drills or geometry practice sets helps build confidence in weak areas. The goal isn't test quantity but quality review: after each practice test, you should analyze every missed question to understand why you got it wrong, not just move on to the next test.

Test anxiety often stems from uncertainty about what to expect or feeling unprepared for specific problem types. Building genuine confidence through repeated practice with authentic ACT-style questions helps tremendously—when you've seen similar problems before, the test feels less intimidating. Tutors also help students develop mental strategies like working through difficult problems methodically rather than panicking, learning to skip and return to tough questions instead of getting stuck, and practicing relaxation techniques before test day. Many students find that knowing they have a clear strategy significantly reduces anxiety.

ACT Math preparation isn't one-size-fits-all—a student struggling with coordinate geometry needs different support than one who understands geometry but rushes through algebra. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows a tutor to diagnose your specific weak areas, teach strategies tailored to how you learn best, and focus preparation time where it matters most. This is far more efficient than generic test prep courses, especially in a large district like Los Angeles where students have varying math backgrounds and pacing needs.

Most students benefit from 2-3 months of focused preparation, dedicating 4-6 hours per week to ACT Math study. If you're starting with a significant gap between your current and goal scores, or if math isn't your strongest subject, a longer timeline of 4-6 months may be beneficial. The right timeframe depends on your starting point, other test sections you're preparing for, and how quickly you can master the specific skills you're missing. A tutor can help you create a realistic study plan based on your individual situation and target test date.
