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 junior at Purdue University studying Aerospace Engineering and am part of the Air Force ROTC program. I have 6 years of tutoring experience at places including Kumon, Mathnasium, and Purdue University. I have worked with kids of all ages from kindergarten to sophomores in college, each with their own set of unique strengths, and tutored a variety of subjects, including calculus, trigonometry, geometry, thermodynamics, chemistry, and physics. Like many of my previous students, I struggled to understand concepts that I was being taught and was a terrible test taker. However, I found ways to overcome my obstacles and develop an better intuition for what I was learning. I believe that it is only this intuition and understanding that helps overcome these obstacles. My least favorite thing to see people be discouraged, so with a little bit of guidance and reassurance, I want to show people that they are capable of anything they put their mind to.
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.
Leading Carmel High School's Science Olympiad team to back-to-back Nationals appearances meant Satvik was already teaching peers how to work through math and physics problems under pressure long before he started aerospace engineering at Georgia Tech. That competition mindset shapes how he tackles ACT Math — he trains students to recognize problem types instantly and pick the fastest solution path, especially on the trigonometry and coordinate geometry questions that gate scores above 30. He earned a perfect 36 ACT composite and holds a 5.0 rating.
Two years as a math instructor at Mathnasium gave Amy a knack for diagnosing exactly where a student's reasoning breaks down — whether it's coordinate geometry, probability, or logarithmic functions. She scored a 35 ACT composite and knows which problem types appear most frequently, so study time targets the concepts that actually move scores.
I am a Honors Student at the University of Purdue Studying Chemical Engineering. I am here to help you with whatever you need. I believe anyone can succeed with the help of others.
Scoring a 35 ACT composite means Aidan knows exactly where the Math section tries to trip students up — especially on coordinate geometry, matrices, and the handful of trigonometry questions that separate a 30 from a 34+. He breaks each problem type into a quick decision framework so students spend less time deliberating and more time executing.
Scoring well on ACT Math isn't about knowing advanced calculus — it's about moving quickly and accurately through algebra, coordinate geometry, and trigonometry questions that are designed to be tricky, not hard. Lauren earned a 35 ACT composite and teaches students to spot what each question is really testing so they don't waste time on overbuilt solutions. Her science and math background at Duke keeps these concepts sharp and ready to explain from multiple angles.
Because she taught math across every grade level for five years, Anya understands the full progression of skills the ACT Math section tests — from proportional reasoning and coordinate geometry through logarithms and trigonometry. She identifies which content gaps are costing a student the most points and targets those first, so score gains come quickly.
Scoring well on ACT Math isn't about knowing advanced topics — it's about solving algebra, geometry, and trig problems accurately under serious time pressure. Charles tackles this by teaching students to recognize problem types within seconds and match them to efficient solution methods, cutting out the hesitation that eats up the clock. His own 34 ACT composite came from exactly this kind of strategic, pattern-based preparation.
Scoring a 35 ACT composite means Wahala knows firsthand how the math section tests familiar concepts in unfamiliar packaging — a coordinate geometry question disguised as a word problem, or a probability question buried in a table. She teaches students to identify what each question is actually asking before touching their calculator, a habit that eliminates careless errors and saves time for the harder problems at the end.
Engineering coursework at Notre Dame means Alexandra lives in math daily, from trigonometric identities to coordinate geometry — exactly the concepts that dominate the later, harder questions on ACT Math. She teaches students to recognize which formula a problem is actually testing, cutting through the wordiness that trips up even strong math students. Rated 5.0 by students.
Dartmouth's biology curriculum leans heavily on quantitative reasoning — biostatistics, modeling, data analysis — which keeps Victoria sharp on exactly the algebra, probability, and function concepts that fill the ACT Math section. She scored a 34 composite and uses that familiarity with the test's pacing to teach students how to quickly identify what each problem is really asking beneath the extra wording. Rated 5.0 by students.
Before switching to economics and education, Victor spent two years in Purdue's aerospace engineering program — which means he's been through the rigorous algebra, trigonometry, and problem-solving gauntlet that maps directly onto the toughest ACT Math questions. His statistics concentration adds an edge on the probability and data items that many students skip or guess on. With a 33 ACT composite and a 5.0 tutoring rating, he pairs genuine math fluency with a teaching approach sharpened by his special education classroom experience.
Scoring a 33 ACT composite means Walker has navigated the Math section's jump from straightforward algebra to coordinate geometry and trigonometry under tight time constraints. He teaches pacing strategies alongside the actual math, showing students how to identify which problems to tackle first and which formulas to have at their fingertips on test day.
Scoring a 34 composite on the ACT, Dayle knows the math section inside out — where it tests algebra fundamentals, where it sneaks in coordinate geometry, and where it demands quick thinking on probability and trigonometry. She teaches students to recognize question types on sight so they can allocate their 60 minutes strategically instead of grinding through every problem the same way.
I'm fluent in Spanish and proficient in Mandarin. I worked with all the Spanish speaking clients as a paralegal at a law firm and lived in Nanjing China while I studied at Nanjing University. I'm also TEFL certified.
I'm currently a sophomore at Notre Dame. I'm a math major but am also fulfilling pre-med requirements, so I'm a good bet with things like math, chemistry, and physics. As my friends can attest, I'm also a great proofreader if you have any papers. If you happen to be learning Italian, I have intermediate proficiency in that as well.
Tutoring is about a lot more than studying, tests, and knowledge. I believe the interpersonal relationship involved with teaching greatly benefits both parties. Learning is fundamental to life- and turning otherwise cumbersome and difficult tasks like passing a hard class into a lightbulb moment is where I find my satisfaction. Turning such a familiar struggle into newfound realization and understanding is what I aim for.
I am a recent graduate of Indiana University-Bloomington, where I majored in Political Science and Mandarin Chinese. This past year I studied abroad and worked in China with the Chinese Flagship Program. I love studying history, languages, literature, and writing, and when I'm not helping students as a tutor, you can find me swing dancing, listening to jazz music, experimenting with vegan baking, and walking my dog.
I am a student at the University of Pennsylvania. My experience tutoring is widely varied: I was a teaching assistant at an elementary school for three years and a peer tutor for the SAT, ACT, math, and college admission essays also for three years. My main objective when working with students is to make sure students understand content and seeing its importance to the real world. I help guide students find their love of learning through interactive teaching and engaging resources.
I am a student at DePauw University. I am a Chemistry and Global Health double major. I speak fluent Spanish and English and am an Arabic student. I hope to go to medical school someday and work in the field of epidemiology.
I am currently a student studying English Education at Taylor University after graduating from Grapevine Faith Christian School in May 2015. In high school, I took a variety of AP, Honors, and Dual Credit classes. When I took the ACT, I received a perfect score on the English portion and scored very highly on the writing, reading, and science sections as well. Because I took the test so recently, I am very familiar with its format and can help students develop strategies to answer questions quickly and correctly. At Taylor, I am a member of the Honors program and will be enrolled in both English and education classes each semester.
I am a 19 year old who appreciates school and knowledge more than anything. I have always been drawn to learning more and as a result I have felt the responsibility to pass knowledge on to those who are struggling with a concept I have mastered. I excel in math and science and hope to help kids who are interested in these topics overcome the obstacles that come with the education process, in order to continue learning more. I have had many inspirational academic mentors in my life that have allowed me to become the man I am today and as a result I am glad to be in the position to pay it forward.
I am a mechanical engineering student at the University of Louisville. I have tutored friends and other students, since I was in middle school. I am very open and am willing to answer just about any question.
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.
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.
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.
I am excited to help anyone who might need it!
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.
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.
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.
Research in astrophysics and optical engineering means Dennis spends his days doing math that's orders of magnitude harder than anything on the ACT — so the algebra, trigonometry, and coordinate geometry across all 60 questions feel like second nature to him. He teaches students to read each problem for what it's actually asking, cutting through the extra wording that turns a simple calculation into a time sink. His 36 ACT composite and 4.7 rating back up the approach.
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.
I am no longer needed.
I am in my second year at MIT studying mathematics, and I am currently doing a research project in Spectral Graph Theory. I have been a tutor since my junior year in high school, and I enjoy teaching all levels of math; everything from pre-algebra through calculus and linear algebra! I focus primarily on making sure that the definitions and processes given in class make intuitive sense, so that math can begin to feel like second nature.
The ACT Math section covers a wide spread from pre-algebra through trigonometry, but the real challenge is pacing — 60 questions in 60 minutes leaves no room for getting stuck. Dana, who earned a 36 composite, teaches students to triage problems by difficulty and use strategic shortcuts on coordinate geometry and systems of equations. Her approach turns the time constraint from a source of panic into a manageable rhythm.
