I am a graduate of Texas A&M University; I received a Bachelor of Science in Biology along with being a minor in Spanish. I also studied at Plano ISD in high school. As Plano ISD is recognized for its academic achievements and competitiveness, I have always been positively challenged by my curriculum and by my peers to improve and to push myself to excel. From a young age, I have always been a part of the Gifted and Talented program. Trying to challenge myself and wanting to be different, I took a risk and joined the International Baccalaureate (IB) Program, a program that was not as well recognized at the time and was extremely difficult. Joining the IB program was the best decision I have taken thus far. I gained knowledge from all around world- different insights, different histories, different philosophies, different literature, etc.

I am a prematriculant student at the University of Chicago. In high school I took advanced STEM courses at the University of North Texas through a high school program called the Texas Academy of Math and Science. I love taking high level math courses, but I get even more excited when I can help friends and classmates in courses I have already taken. I believe that having a solid understanding of math concepts builds you up for success in any field. I have experience as a teaching assistant in pre-calculus and calculus and have experience tutoring and assisting students in high school math, calculus, and differential equations. When preparing students for standardized tests like the ACT and SAT, I focus on filling any gaps in material and teaching new techniques for making the test easier and quicker to take. I have used and perfected these techniques while taking the ACT and SAT myself and have had success on both tests. I am also a National Merit Finalist.

I am most passionate about biology and chemistry. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students.

Scoring a 33 ACT composite, Akhil knows the math section's particular mix of algebra, geometry, and trigonometry — and more importantly, how to manage pacing across 60 questions in 60 minutes. He teaches students to identify which problems deserve full work and which can be solved with strategic shortcuts like back-solving or plugging in answer choices.

Sunny earned a 35 ACT composite and tackles the Math section by teaching students which concepts appear most often and how to manage time across the difficulty curve. Her approach to coordinate geometry, trigonometry, and word-problem translation gives students a repeatable process rather than a grab bag of formulas.

I am currently a senior at Emory University studying chemistry and applied math with a focus on inorganic chemistry. I will be available to tutor algebra, trigonometry, algebra 2, biology, chemistry, calculus, geometry, pre- calculus, and ACT prep. I started tutoring in high school and continued tutoring at Emory where I tutored general chemistry, introductory biology, and calculus for two years. Apart from academic tutoring, I am also involved in Project SHINE which teaches English to recent Atlanta immigrants. I believe that education (no matter what kind) is crucial in life, but I also strive to emphasize why something is important. In my experience, most students struggle with something because they don't understand exactly why it is important or simply do not care. I am heavily involved in academic research at Emory so I am able to help a student understand exactly why a specific subject area is important and how it is continuously applied both in the lab and in the real world to improve our lives. It's always easier to see the physical and practical applications of a subject than try to visualize its importance on paper. In my spare time I enjoy chemistry, ancient Roman history, jam bands, running, cycling, and scuba diving.

The ACT Math section covers everything from pre-algebra ratios to trigonometric identities, and the real challenge is pacing — not just knowing the math but recognizing which approach gets you to the answer fastest. John earned a 36 composite and teaches students to identify problem types on sight so they can allocate time strategically across all 60 questions.

The ACT Math section rewards speed as much as knowledge, and Sugi teaches students to recognize which of the 60 questions are quick wins versus time traps. Her perfect 36 composite and strong math background — through calculus and physical chemistry at Rice — mean she can explain underlying concepts when a student needs more than just a shortcut.

Scoring a 36 on the ACT required mastering every math concept the test throws at you, from coordinate geometry and matrix operations to logarithmic functions. Bidyut walks through each problem type with an emphasis on recognizing what the question is actually asking, which saves time and eliminates careless errors. He's rated 5.0 by students.

Scoring high on ACT Math isn't about knowing advanced topics — it's about moving through algebra, coordinate geometry, and trigonometry questions with speed and confidence. Alyssa earned a 35 ACT composite and brings a systematic approach to identifying what each problem is really testing, so students stop second-guessing and start finishing sections with time to spare.

Medical school trains you to triage — figure out what matters most and act on it fast — and Jiatian applies that same instinct to ACT Math, teaching students to read a problem, identify the core concept being tested, and pick the most efficient solve path without getting tangled in extra information. Her Rice University math foundation covers the algebra, geometry, and probability spread across the section, and she's particularly sharp at showing students how to avoid the trap answers designed to catch rushed mistakes on the back half of the 60-question lineup.

I'm currently a freshman at Rice University studying applied math. I've always had a love for sharing knowledge with others, and I started tutoring when I was a junior in high school. As a former AP student and a National AP Scholar, I have the experience necessary to guide my students through challenging curriculum. Though I specialize in tutoring mathematics and physics, I am experienced with and am happy to tutor a broad range of subjects.
