Hello! I am Jason Min, a recent college graduate looking to do some tutoring over the summer. Please feel free to ask me questions!
Most ACT Math questions below #40 test pre-algebra and algebra concepts students already know — the challenge is executing them cleanly under a one-minute-per-question pace. Aleeza, who scored a 36 ACT composite, drills students on recognizing problem types at a glance so they bank time early for the trickier trigonometry and matrix items near the end. Her biology degree keeps her sharp on the data-interpretation and probability questions that often get overlooked in prep.
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.
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.
I am a patient, intellectual, and calm college student at the University of Michigan passionate about tutoring others to improve their proficiency in a wide variety of subjects. I teach students by creating individualized plans that cater to the strengths and weaknesses of the student. I work hard and as long as it takes to ensure that the student derives maximum benefit. I love teaching a wide variety of subjects, and have a speciality in standardized tests.
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.
I am no longer needed.
Scoring high on ACT Math isn't about knowing advanced topics — it's about moving through algebra, coordinate geometry, and trigonometry questions with speed and confidence. Alyssa earned a 35 ACT composite and brings a systematic approach to identifying what each problem is really testing, so students stop second-guessing and start finishing sections with time to spare.
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.
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.
Most ACT Math questions reward quick recognition over deep calculation — and Vivian, who scored a 36 composite, teaches students to identify which of the 60 problems are algebra in disguise and which actually require trig or coordinate geometry knowledge. Her approach emphasizes eliminating answer choices strategically on the harder back-third items while building enough speed on the routine ones to bank time. Rated 4.9 by students.
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+.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you work with a tutor. Most students see meaningful gains—typically 2-4 points on the ACT composite—within 8-12 weeks of focused preparation. Students who struggle with specific math concepts often see faster improvement once those gaps are addressed, while those aiming for top scores (34+) may need longer to master advanced problem-solving strategies. Your tutor will help you set realistic goals based on your current performance and target score.
The biggest challenge for most students is pacing—the ACT Math section gives you 60 minutes for 60 questions, so speed and accuracy both matter. Many students also struggle with geometry and trigonometry concepts that may not be emphasized as heavily in their regular coursework, or they misread multi-step word problems. Additionally, test anxiety can cause careless mistakes on problems students actually know how to solve. A tutor can help you develop strategies to manage time, strengthen weak content areas, and build confidence on test day.
Your first session is about understanding where you stand and what you need. Varsity Tutors connects you with a tutor who will review your current ACT Math score (or have you take a practice section), identify which topics are causing the most trouble, and discuss your target score and timeline. From there, your tutor will create a personalized study plan focused on your specific weak areas—whether that's algebra, geometry, or test-taking strategy—rather than reviewing material you already know well.
Practice tests are essential because they help you get comfortable with the test format, pacing, and question styles under timed conditions. Taking full practice tests (or timed sections) regularly shows you where you're making mistakes and whether those mistakes are from knowledge gaps or careless errors. Your tutor will use practice test results to guide your study plan and help you track progress over time. Aim to take at least one full practice test every 2-3 weeks as you prepare.
Timing strategy is learnable. Start by taking untimed practice sections to build confidence with the content, then gradually add time pressure. Many students benefit from skipping harder problems initially and returning to them after completing easier ones—this ensures you rack up points on questions you can solve quickly. Your tutor can teach you which problem types typically take longer and help you develop shortcuts for common question formats. Practice this strategy repeatedly so it becomes automatic on test day.
The best way is to review your practice test results and look for patterns—are you missing geometry questions, struggling with word problems, or making errors on algebra? Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who can analyze your performance data and pinpoint exactly which content areas need work. Once you know your weak spots, your tutor can create targeted lessons and practice sets rather than spending time on topics you've already mastered, making your study time much more efficient.
Test anxiety often stems from uncertainty—not knowing what to expect or doubting your abilities. Personalized tutoring builds confidence by giving you deep familiarity with the test format, question types, and strategies you'll use. As you practice problems repeatedly and see yourself improving, anxiety naturally decreases. Your tutor can also teach you calming techniques and help you develop a pre-test routine that works for you. Many students find that knowing they've prepared thoroughly is the best anxiety antidote.
Most students benefit from 8-12 weeks of consistent tutoring before their test date, meeting 1-2 times per week depending on their starting score and target. If you're starting from a lower baseline or aiming for a very competitive score, you may want to begin 3-4 months out. Your tutor will help you create a realistic timeline based on your goals and can adjust the pace as you progress. The key is consistency—regular practice between sessions is just as important as tutoring time itself.
