I am currently a fourth year medical student at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and graduated Suma Cum Laude from Yeshiva College with a BA in Biology and Music. As a Writing Center tutor, I worked with undergraduate and graduate students looking to improve their writing, and have also tutored Regents-level biology and chemistry. Most recently, I tutored for Kaplan, teaching an MCAT preparatory course and working one-on-one with students. When not studying, I like to ride my bike, train Taekwondo, play blues guitar (or bass, or piano, or saxophone, or drums), and read a good book.

I am currently a 3rd year doctoral candidate at the University of Oxford. I previously attended the Yale School of Public Health and earned a Master of Public Health in Health Policy with a concentration in Global Health. I also hold two Bachelors degrees - a B.A. in political science and a B.A. in biology - from Vassar College. I have been a tutor for twelve years and enjoy teaching very much. I have taught both graduate and undergraduate level courses at Yale as well as multiple courses at Oxford. Some of my favorite activities include traveling, dancing (classical ballet, pointe), and playing baseball.
I'm a rising junior at Harvard College. I study African American Studies with a secondary in Women's Studies and I am pursuing a language citation in Spanish. I aspire to one day go to business school. When I am not doing work, I can typically be found reading, writing, or dancing.
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.
A year as a course assistant in Harvard's math department gave Richard a deep bench of ways to explain concepts when the first approach doesn't click. On ACT Math, he zeroes in on the topics that appear most frequently in the 50s and 60s — coordinate geometry, trigonometric identities, matrices, and logarithms — where most students leave points on the table. His 36 composite confirms he can execute under the test's tight time pressure.
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.
I'm not tutoring, I love walking through New York for design inspiration and taking carpentry, metalworking, and illustration classes.
Scoring well on ACT Math means covering a huge range — from pre-algebra through trigonometry — under serious time pressure. Liz earned a 34 ACT composite and has spent years teaching math at the middle school level, so she's particularly sharp at diagnosing which content gaps are costing the most points. She builds targeted practice around those gaps and layers in pacing strategies so students aren't rushing the last ten questions.
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.
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.
Scoring a 36 ACT composite gave Sharan firsthand insight into the math section's quirks — questions that look complicated but collapse once you spot the right property of exponents or the shortcut through a system of equations. She teaches students to identify question types quickly and apply efficient strategies, especially on the later problems where time pressure is fiercest.
I'm a recent graduate from the University of Pennsylvania who studied Linguistics and Deaf Studies. I eventually hope to work towards breaking down barriers between the Deaf and hearing worlds and encouraging greater focus on reforming Deaf education practices.

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. Many students improve by 2-4 points on the composite ACT, with some seeing even larger jumps in specific math sections. The key is identifying your weak areas—whether that's algebra, geometry, or test-taking pacing—and targeting those through focused practice and personalized instruction.
The ACT Math section gives you 60 minutes for 60 questions, which means you need to average one minute per problem—a pace that trips up many students. The real challenge isn't just speed; it's knowing which problems to tackle first, which to skip strategically, and how to avoid getting stuck on difficult questions. Tutors help you develop a personalized pacing strategy and practice the decision-making skills that let you maximize your score within the time limit.
The best way is to take a full-length practice test under timed conditions, then analyze which question types and topics you missed most. ACT Math covers algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and data interpretation, and most students find they're stronger in some areas than others. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who review your practice tests to identify patterns in your mistakes—whether you're misunderstanding concepts, making careless errors, or running out of time—so you can focus your study time where it matters most.
Your first session is all about assessment and planning. Tutors will review your ACT Math background, look at any practice tests or previous scores you have, and understand your goals and timeline. From there, they'll create a personalized study plan that targets your specific weak areas, establishes a realistic practice schedule, and breaks down the math concepts and test-taking strategies you need to master.
Most students benefit from taking 3-5 full-length practice tests spaced throughout their study period, with at least one every 2-3 weeks. The first test gives you a baseline; middle tests help you track progress and adjust your strategy; the final test builds confidence and familiarity with the real format. Between full tests, focused practice on specific math topics and timed drills on individual question types keeps your skills sharp without burnout.
Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or unsure of your strategy—tutoring directly addresses both. When you work with a tutor to master the math content, understand question formats, and practice under realistic time pressure, you build genuine confidence rather than just hoping for the best. Tutors also teach you concrete strategies for staying calm during the test, like when to skip a problem, how to check your work efficiently, and how to manage the mental fatigue that comes with 60 minutes of focused math.
Varsity Tutors matches you with expert tutors who specialize in ACT Math and understand the needs of Bronx students preparing for test day. You'll work through a simple process to describe your goals, availability, and learning style, and then get connected with a tutor who fits your needs. Whether you need intensive prep over a few weeks or ongoing support over several months, tutors offer flexible scheduling to work around your school and extracurricular commitments.
A typical study schedule involves 5-8 hours per week over 8-12 weeks leading up to test day, though this varies based on your starting score and target score. If you're aiming for a significant improvement, more intensive prep—10+ hours weekly—might be necessary. Your tutor will help you create a realistic schedule that balances ACT Math study with your other classes and commitments, breaking study sessions into focused 60-90 minute blocks where you tackle specific topics or practice problems.
