Eric
BA Duke University
8+ Years Tutoring

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.

Emily
BA Cornell University
6+ Years Tutoring

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.

Nicholas
BA University of Minnesota-Twin Cities
4+ Years Tutoring

Nicholas is currently a math graduate student at the University of Illinois, which means the algebra, functions, and trigonometry that fill the ACT Math section are concepts he works with daily — not formulas he has to dust off. His own 36 ACT composite came from treating the 60-question sprint as an exercise in efficient problem classification: identifying what each question is really asking and picking the shortest path to the answer. Rated 4.9 by students, he brings that same structured, no-wasted-steps approach to every practice session.

Sugi
BA Rice University • Doctor of Medicine, Ophthalmic Technology Baylor College of Medicine
5+ Years Tutoring

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.

Asta
BA University of Chicago
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Emily
BA Indiana University-Bloomington • Doctor of Medicine, Community Health and Preventive Medicine Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis
8+ Years Tutoring

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 students learn to spot what's being asked before they start calculating. Rated 5.0 by students.

Kevin
BA Case Western Reserve University
7+ Years Tutoring

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.

Austin
BA University of Notre Dame
15+ Years Tutoring

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.

Eric
BA Ohio University-Main Campus
1+ Years Tutoring

I'm a recent college graduate with degrees in Biological Sciences and Russian from Ohio University. During my time there, I tutored students in a variety of subjects, including biology, chemistry, and Spanish. In addition, I worked as both a peer advisor and teaching assistant, which gives me insight into the learning strategies and study skills that students need to succeed. As a tutor, I like to focus on doing actual problems with students because it is the most effective way to immediately identify their strengths and weaknesses and to address them. In my free time, I like to lift weights, read books, and spend time with my friends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Score improvement depends on your starting point and commitment level, but most students see meaningful gains within 8-12 weeks of consistent practice. The ACT Math section rewards targeted skill-building—students who work with a tutor to identify weak areas (like trigonometry or word problems) and practice strategically often improve by 2-4 points. Your tutor will help you focus on the question types and concepts that are costing you the most points.

Your first session is about assessment and planning. Your tutor will review your practice test results, discuss your target score, and identify which ACT Math topics are holding you back—whether that's algebra, geometry, trigonometry, or test-taking pacing. By the end, you'll have a clear roadmap for what to focus on and how many sessions you'll likely need to reach your goal.

The ACT Math section gives you 60 minutes for 60 questions—that's one minute per question on average, but harder questions take longer. A tutor will teach you pacing strategies like tackling easier questions first, recognizing which problems to skip and return to, and using calculator shortcuts effectively. Practice tests are essential here; your tutor will help you time yourself on real ACT questions so you build speed without sacrificing accuracy.

Students in Honolulu and nationwide often struggle with word problems (translating language into equations), trigonometry concepts, and pacing under pressure. Many also miss questions they actually know how to solve because they misread what's being asked. A tutor helps you develop a question-reading strategy, practice the specific topics that trip you up, and build the confidence to work efficiently without rushing.

Consistent practice is more important than volume—aim for 30-45 minutes of focused work 4-5 times per week between sessions. Your tutor will assign targeted practice sets on your weak areas, and you'll take full-length practice tests every 2-3 weeks to track progress. This regular rhythm helps reinforce concepts and builds the automaticity you need to work quickly and accurately on test day.

Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or unsure about specific topics. Working with a tutor builds genuine confidence because you're mastering the actual question types and concepts you'll see on the ACT. Your tutor also teaches stress-management strategies—like how to reset mentally after a tough question and how to use your calculator strategically to reduce pressure. The more prepared you feel, the calmer you'll be on test day.

Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who specialize in ACT Math and understand the specific challenges students face on this section. You'll be matched with someone based on your goals, availability, and learning style. Your tutor will have proven experience helping students improve their scores and will tailor sessions to your needs—whether you need foundational concept review or advanced test-taking strategies.

The ACT allows graphing calculators, which can save time on certain problems—but using one strategically is key. Some questions are actually faster to solve by hand, while others (like complex algebra or graphing) benefit from calculator use. Your tutor will teach you which problems warrant calculator use and which don't, plus how to use your calculator efficiently without getting bogged down. Practice tests help you develop this judgment so you're not wasting time on test day.
