I am currently a resident physician at Northwestern Hospital.

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.
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.
I am most passionate about music, French, and English. I love the potential for communication and creativity that languages and the arts provide.
I am here to help with pre-med coursework, MCAT prep, and many other classes. I am frequently available for online tutoring.
Scoring a 35 ACT composite means Zora performed at an elite level across every section, math included. She zeroes in on the algebra, geometry, and coordinate-plane questions that make up the bulk of ACT Math, teaching students to identify which formula or approach a problem is actually testing before they start calculating.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you work with a tutor. Many students see 2-4 point improvements within 8-12 weeks of focused preparation, though some improve more quickly by targeting specific weak areas. The key is identifying which topics are holding you back—whether that's algebra, geometry, or test-taking strategy—and working systematically through them with personalized instruction.
Timing is one of the biggest challenges on ACT Math—you have 60 minutes for 60 questions. A tutor can help you develop strategies like identifying which questions to tackle first, when to skip and return to harder problems, and how to work efficiently without sacrificing accuracy. Practice with full-length tests under timed conditions, combined with personalized feedback on your approach, builds the confidence and speed you need.
The best way is to take a full practice ACT and analyze your results by topic—algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and data analysis each appear regularly. When you connect with a tutor, they'll review your practice tests to identify patterns in the questions you're missing, whether it's conceptual gaps or careless mistakes. This targeted approach means you spend study time on what actually moves your score, not reviewing topics you've already mastered.
Your first session is about understanding where you're starting from and what you want to achieve. A tutor will typically review your practice test results, discuss your target score and timeline, and assess which math concepts are solid versus which need work. From there, you'll develop a personalized study plan that focuses on your specific challenges and fits your schedule.
Yes. Test anxiety often comes from feeling unprepared or unsure about how to approach problems. Working with a tutor builds genuine confidence by helping you master the material and develop reliable test-taking strategies. Practicing full-length sections, learning how to manage your time, and understanding exactly what to expect on test day all reduce anxiety and help you perform closer to your actual ability.
ACT Math questions test your ability to apply concepts quickly and often include word problems that require multiple steps to solve. The format is different from traditional textbook problems, and the pacing is faster. A tutor familiar with the ACT can teach you to recognize question types, decode what's being asked, and apply efficient strategies specific to how the test is structured—skills that go beyond your regular math class.
Most students benefit from 8-12 weeks of focused preparation, with tutoring sessions 1-2 times per week plus independent practice. If you're starting further from your target score, you might need longer. A tutor can help you create a realistic study schedule based on your current score, target score, and test date—and adjust it as you progress.
Look for someone with strong math knowledge and specific experience preparing students for the ACT—not just general math tutoring. They should be able to explain concepts clearly, give you honest feedback about your progress, and adjust their teaching based on how you learn best. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have proven success helping students improve their ACT Math scores.
