I am a Yale graduate with over 8 years experience tutoring students from a variety of backgrounds. I recently graduated from the Yale School of Public Health with a MPH concentrating in Epidemiology and Global Health. I also received my B.S. from Yale with a double major in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and French. I have experience both leading group classes and working with students one on one. I will respond to a student's strengths, weaknesses, and learning style in order to help them succeed and make the most of our time together. I earned a perfect score of 36 on the ACT, 2280 on the SAT, and qualified as a National Merit Scholar on the PSAT. I look forward to working with you!

I am a current sophomore at Vanderbilt University! I am double majoring in Public Policy and Human & Organizational Development with a minor in Spanish. I first started tutoring in high school, when I started working at Kumon Learning Center and began teaching elementary and middle school students reading and mathematics. I also volunteered my tutoring services through my high school's National Merit Society, through which I helped my peers in advanced subjects such as AP testing, ACT, SAT, and PSAT prep.
I am usually someone they ask. I love reading and writing. I am a big believer in the importance of critical thought and creative problem solving. I am excited to work with you.
Scoring a 33 on the ACT, Shawn knows firsthand which math concepts appear most often — coordinate geometry, proportional reasoning, and function behavior dominate the later questions where most students lose points. He walks through each problem type with an emphasis on recognizing what's actually being asked before jumping into calculations.
I am currently a senior at Johns Hopkins studying Biomedical Engineering. I have a lot of experience tutoring in math, physics, chemistry, and thermodynamics. I have also proof-read essays for college applications and english classes as well. Outside of school I like to cook, play basketball, and listen to music.
I am passionate about teaching because I love helping someone understand and become confident in a concept that previously baffled them. I am a student at The Ohio State University working towards a Computer Science degree. I have experience tutoring math up through AP Calculus BC, French, and AP Literature. My experience in tutoring comes from the free weekly French tutoring program I initiated at my high school, which grew to me tutoring other subjects as well. My teaching philosophy involves discussion and helping the student come to an answer themselves, which allows the topic to stick. Because of this one of my favorite subjects to tutor is writing. Writing tutoring helps the student grow and allows them to see the problems in their writing themselves. Outside of academia I enjoy calligraphy and playing piano.
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.
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.
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.
A math-economics degree from UCLA means Vinay is equally comfortable with the pure algebra problems and the applied data questions that make the ACT Math section feel unpredictable. He zeroes in on the content areas where most students stall — coordinate geometry, trigonometric identities, and matrix-style word problems in the 50-60 range. His 35 ACT composite shows he knows how to execute under that tight 60-minute clock.
Scoring a 36 ACT composite means Yashas knows exactly how the math section tests concepts like coordinate geometry, trigonometry, and probability under tight time constraints. He breaks down each question type by difficulty tier so students learn where to spend their time and where to move quickly. Rated 5.0 by students.
Georgetown's economics curriculum — heavy on calculus, statistics, and quantitative modeling — keeps Adam sharp on exactly the algebra and data-analysis skills that drive most ACT Math questions. He scored a 35 ACT composite and uses that familiarity with the test's pacing to teach students how to read the later-section problems efficiently, where most points get left behind.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you work with a tutor. Students typically see meaningful gains—often 2-4 points on the ACT scale—within 8-12 weeks of focused preparation, though some improve faster. The key is identifying your specific weak areas (algebra, geometry, trigonometry) and practicing strategically rather than just reviewing content you already know.
Most students struggle with pacing because they spend too long on difficult problems early in the test, leaving insufficient time for easier questions they could answer quickly. Expert tutors help you develop a strategic approach: tackling problems in order of difficulty within your skill level, using elimination techniques to save time, and knowing when to skip and return to a question later.
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who start by reviewing your practice test results and diagnostic assessments to pinpoint exactly where you're losing points—whether it's algebra fundamentals, geometry reasoning, or trigonometry applications. Once weak areas are identified, tutors create a personalized study plan that focuses your effort where it matters most rather than reviewing material you've already mastered.
Practice tests are essential—they're the most accurate predictor of your actual test performance and help you get comfortable with the test format, timing pressure, and question types. Tutors typically recommend taking full practice tests every 2-3 weeks, then reviewing every question you missed to understand not just the right answer, but why you made that mistake and how to avoid it next time.
Absolutely. Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or unfamiliar with question formats, both of which tutoring directly addresses. By working through hundreds of practice problems, learning proven test-taking strategies, and building genuine confidence in your skills, you'll feel more in control on test day. Tutors also teach calming techniques and help you develop a positive mindset about challenging problems.
The ACT Math content is the same nationwide, but Varsity Tutors connects Dayton students with tutors who understand local school schedules and testing timelines. Whether you're preparing for your first attempt or retaking the test, tutors work around your school's calendar and can coordinate with your current math coursework to reinforce concepts you're learning in class.
Your first session focuses on understanding your current level and goals. Expect to discuss your practice test scores, review which types of problems give you the most trouble, and talk about your target score and timeline. From there, your tutor will outline a personalized study plan and likely start working on one of your weak areas so you can see the tutoring approach in action.
Most students benefit from 1-2 tutoring sessions per week combined with independent practice between sessions. If you're preparing 8-12 weeks before test day, weekly sessions work well. If you're closer to your test date or have significant gaps to close, twice-weekly sessions accelerate progress. Your tutor will recommend a schedule based on your starting score, target score, and available study time.
