No obligation. Takes ~1 minute.

I am a rising sophomore studying civil engineering at Cornell University. I enjoy tutoring math (algebra-calculus 3), high school and college physics, Spanish, and writing. I have experience tutoring throughout high school, where I was the head of a peer-tutoring program. I have continued tutoring in college as well.

I am working toward a double English and Dance major at Muhlenberg College. I am currently earning my Secondary Teacher's certification. My passion is to help students find their own passion and identity in the world, and to help them how to think critically. I tutor in a variety of English subjects, ACT prep, ukulele, and songwriting! I have experience in both outdoor and museum science education, and I have tutored students in science, English, writing, and music. When I'm not pursuing academics, you can find me riding my horse, playing guitar with my friends, or teaching dance classes! I look forward to speaking with you!
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 currently a resident physician at Northwestern Hospital.
Scoring well on ACT Math means handling everything from basic proportions to matrices and logarithms within a single 60-minute sprint, so pacing strategy matters as much as content knowledge. Danielle's 36 ACT composite and her science-heavy coursework at Tufts give her fluency across the full range of topics the test covers. She zeroes in on the specific question types — coordinate geometry, probability, trigonometric identities — where each student is losing the most points.
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.
Scoring high on ACT Math means handling everything from coordinate geometry to logarithms and matrices under serious time pressure — roughly one minute per question. Olivia's engineering math background means she tackles these topics daily, and she teaches students to identify which formula a problem is really testing before they start calculating. Her 34 ACT composite speaks to how well that approach works.
Medical school admissions forced Amanda to master the ACT inside out — her 34 composite came from treating the math section like a diagnostic problem, identifying exactly which concept each question tests before choosing an approach. Her biology degree at Alabama was math-intensive enough (biostatistics, quantitative analysis) that the algebra, probability, and trig on the ACT feel like familiar territory, and she teaches students to work those 60 questions with the same systematic efficiency she applies to clinical reasoning.
Jennifer scored a 33 ACT and tackles the Math section by sorting its 60 questions into the skill clusters that matter most: coordinate geometry shortcuts, trigonometric identities, and the probability questions students tend to skip. Her engineering training means she can explain not just which formula applies but why it works, which makes the logic stick under time pressure.
I am here to help with pre-med coursework, MCAT prep, and many other classes. I am frequently available for online tutoring.
The ACT Math section covers everything from pre-algebra ratios to trigonometric identities in 60 rapid-fire questions, and pacing is where most students lose points. Mary scored a 35 composite and teaches students to triage problems by difficulty so they lock in easy points first and spend remaining time on coordinate geometry and matrix questions that reward careful setup.
Naomi scored a 35 ACT composite and uses that experience to pinpoint exactly where students lose points on the Math section, whether it's coordinate geometry, trigonometric identities, or the word problems that appear in the final ten questions. She emphasizes recognizing which formula a problem is really testing, since the ACT rewards speed as much as accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you work with a tutor. Students typically see 2-4 point increases over 8-12 weeks of regular tutoring, though some improve more significantly if they're addressing fundamental gaps. The key is identifying which concepts are holding you back—whether it's algebra, geometry, or test-taking strategy—and focusing your practice there.
Your first session is about understanding your strengths and challenges. A tutor will likely review your practice test results, discuss which math topics feel most difficult, and assess your pacing and test-taking habits. This helps create a personalized study plan focused on the areas where you'll gain the most points.
Pacing is one of the biggest challenges on ACT Math—you have about 60 seconds per question. Tutors help by teaching you to identify which questions to tackle first, which to skip strategically, and how to avoid getting stuck. Practice with timed drills and full practice tests helps you build speed without sacrificing accuracy.
Students in Allentown and across the country often struggle with trigonometry, sequences and series, and complex algebraic word problems. Many also find the geometry questions tricky because they require visual reasoning under time pressure. A tutor can help you master these specific topics and develop strategies to recognize and solve them quickly.
Most students benefit from taking 4-6 full practice tests under timed conditions before their actual ACT. This builds stamina and helps you identify patterns in where you lose points. Between full tests, targeted practice on specific topics is more efficient than random problem-solving. A tutor can guide you on which practice materials to use and how to review your mistakes effectively.
Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or uncertain about question formats. Working with a tutor builds confidence by ensuring you understand the material deeply and have practiced similar problems many times. Tutors also teach breathing techniques and mental strategies to stay calm under pressure, so you can focus on solving problems rather than worrying.
Look for tutors who have strong math backgrounds and specific experience preparing students for the ACT. Ideally, they've scored well on the ACT themselves or have a track record of helping students improve. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand the unique demands of ACT Math and can teach both content and test-taking strategy.
If you're starting 8-12 weeks before your test, aim for 3-5 hours per week of focused ACT Math prep. For students closer to test day, more intensive study may help. Your tutor can create a customized schedule based on your current score, target score, and available time. Consistency matters more than cramming—regular practice helps concepts stick.
