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.

I'm not tutoring, I love walking through New York for design inspiration and taking carpentry, metalworking, and illustration classes.

I am currently interviewing for medical school for matriculation in August 2017.

I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.

I'm a graduate of Columbia College Chicago; after exploring many fields of interest (writing, linguistics, computer science, and more), I completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Fashion Design graduating Cum Laude.

Most ACT Math questions below #40 test algebra and proportional reasoning that Carmen has drilled across years of tutoring subjects from elementary math through pre-calculus and trigonometry — she knows which foundational gaps cause students to stumble on problems that should be quick points. Her 35 ACT composite backs up that content knowledge, and her literature training gives her an unusual edge on the word-heavy setups where students waste time misreading what's actually being asked.

Scoring a 35 ACT composite means Sonali knows exactly where the Math section tries to eat up your time — coordinate geometry and trigonometry questions that look complex but collapse into simple steps once you spot the setup. She teaches students to identify question patterns quickly and allocate their 60 minutes strategically across the difficulty curve.

I am a current undergraduate student at the Macaulay Honors College at Hunter College, where I received a full tuition merit scholarship. I am pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry, as well as minoring in English. For years, I have tutored high school students in preparation for New York State Regents Exams, as well as elementary school and middle school students, mainly in English, Mathematics, and Biology. I enjoy exposing students to different learning techniques to allow them to discover their unique learning style. I find that this is especially important for younger students, who benefit from visuals, hands-on interaction, and interesting analogies. Thus, I customize my teaching methods to each individual student.

Scoring a 35 ACT composite, Laura knows the Math section inside out — especially the algebra, coordinate geometry, and trigonometry problems that make up the bulk of the test. She teaches students to identify which formula or technique a question is really testing, cutting through the wordiness that slows most test-takers down. Her calculus background means she can also handle the handful of higher-level questions that appear near the end.

Most ACT Math questions below #40 test algebra and proportional reasoning that students already know — the challenge is recognizing it under time pressure and in unfamiliar wording. Rachel, who scored a 34 ACT composite and tutors everything from elementary math through calculus, teaches students to strip each problem down to the core operation being tested so they stop overthinking straightforward questions. That leaves more clock for the trig and coordinate geometry items near the end where deliberate problem-solving actually pays off.

I am Texas transplant and graduated from Tulane University, where I majored in economics. After graduation I moved to New York to serve as an AmeriCorps with Habitat for Humanity. The skills I learned in teaching volunteers to build a house translate well to tutoring, and I am sure that I can help you improve your scores! With a perfect score on the 2016 MCAT CARS section, I specialize in tutoring reading comprehension and English for both the ACT and MCAT. My goal is to help you learn to read between the lines and develop strategies for test-day success. Other than tutoring, I do woodworking, read, bike, and box. I am looking forward to working with you!

I'm a graduate of Loyola University Chicago's Honors Interdisciplinary Program, from which I received a Bachelor of Arts in Classical Civilization. After graduating, I relocated to New York City to pursue my creative goals and obtain an MFA in Fiction writing. I have experience tutoring both adults and gifted adolescents; while I am capable of tutoring a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Writing, History, and Literature. I believe in the intellectual potential of every student, and have observed that a great many obstacles in a student's educational journey can be overcome through a personal and case-by-case approach on the part of the teacher or tutor. I also believe that early educational success is the foundation for lifetime achievement and general well-being, and I try to relate this in motivational terms to all students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, writing, running through Brooklyn, and seeing almost any movie in theaters.
