Scoring a 35 on the ACT means Kendall knows how the math section tests familiar concepts in unfamiliar packaging — a coordinate geometry question disguised as a word problem, or a trigonometry identity buried inside an algebra setup. Kendall's approach zeroes in on recognizing those disguises quickly so students spend their time solving, not decoding. Holds a 5.0 student rating.

Biophysics at the undergraduate level means Benjin is constantly toggling between calculus, algebra, and data analysis — so the math concepts spread across the ACT's 60 questions feel like familiar territory rather than a grab bag of disconnected topics. He earned a 36 ACT composite and uses that experience to show students how to read each problem for what it's actually asking, especially on the geometry and functions items where overthinking burns the most time.
Scoring a 33 ACT composite, Joshua knows the math section inside out — the way it buries straightforward algebra and geometry inside wordy setups designed to eat up time. He teaches students to identify what each question is actually asking within seconds, then apply the right technique quickly, which is the difference between a good score and a great one.
Scoring high on ACT Math isn't about knowing advanced topics — it's about solving familiar concepts under brutal time pressure. Jared earned a 34 ACT composite and teaches students to recognize problem types within seconds, particularly on the later questions involving matrices, logarithms, and trigonometric identities that tend to eat up the clock.
I am currently studying Elementary Education at Brigham Young University. I am also minoring in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) and Spanish DLI (Dual Language Immersion). I am fluent in Spanish because I lived in Mexico for 18 months, but I also went through the language learning process in high school classes and understand the challenges students face. I love teaching and tutoring anyone with a desire to improve, especially elementary aged students. I try to make learning fun and accessible to each individual student's learning style. In my spare time I like to read, cook, play tennis and paint.
Scoring a 34 ACT composite means Samantha knows how to navigate the Math section's rapid shifts from basic algebra to coordinate geometry to trigonometry — all under tight time pressure. She teaches pacing strategies alongside the actual math, so students learn when to solve carefully and when to move on. Rated 5.0 by students.
I am a Senior at Fordham University, where I am double majoring in Humanitarian Studies and Communications and Culture. My academic undergrad research is focused on fan fiction and participatory culture. I have worked in communications with INEE, immigration casework at the Office of U.S. Senator Gillibrand, refugee resettlement with Catholic Charities, procurement with URENCO USA, and as a children's librarian assistant. This fall, I will be attending law school, with the intent of pursuing a career in immigration public policy after graduation.
Scoring well on ACT Math comes down to speed and pattern recognition across 60 questions in 60 minutes — there's no time for second-guessing. John, who earned a 34 ACT composite, teaches students to identify which math concept each question is really testing, from coordinate geometry to trigonometric identities, so they can pick the fastest path to the answer. His physics background makes him especially sharp on the applied math and word-problem questions that slow most students down.
Scoring a 33 ACT composite herself, Kacey knows the Math section's pacing demands as well as its content. She zeroes in on the coordinate geometry, trigonometry, and word-problem translation skills that separate a good score from a great one, teaching students to spot what each question type is actually testing before they start calculating.
Scoring a 34 ACT composite, Matthew knows the math section rewards speed and strategic thinking as much as raw ability. He teaches students to recognize problem types quickly — coordinate geometry, probability, trigonometric identities — and match each one to the fastest solution path. Timed practice with that kind of pattern recognition is what consistently pushes scores higher.
I am a Sophomore at BYU from Sacramento, CA. Currently, I am studying Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Management. I love understanding how everything works and that is one of my biggest motivators in school and learning in general. The subjects in which I am most proficient are Calculus, any type of Algebra and test-taking skills. I am also fluent in Spanish having spent two years in Spain where I talked with peoples of various Spanish-speaking countries emphasizing the Castillian accent. I would love to be able to share my enthusiasm for understanding with everyone.
Computational mathematics as a major means Joseph doesn't just know the algebra, trig, and probability on the ACT — he understands the underlying structures well enough to spot which solution path is fastest before putting pencil to paper. His 33 composite and 5.0 tutoring rating back that up, and he uses timed drills to get students comfortable attacking all 60 questions without running out of clock on the harder items near the end.
Between coordinate geometry, trigonometry, and the handful of matrix or logarithm questions that catch students off guard, ACT Math rewards knowing which tool to reach for quickly. Ben earned a 34 composite and teaches students to identify problem types at a glance so they spend their limited time on execution, not figuring out what's being asked. His 5.0 rating speaks to how well that approach clicks.
Scoring well on ACT Math means handling everything from basic proportions to logarithms and matrices in under a minute per question. Matthew earned a 35 ACT composite and knows which problems to solve algebraically, which to back-solve, and which to skip and return to — pacing strategy that turns a good math student into a high scorer.
My tutoring approach is one of coaching, mentoring, and helping the student understand exactly what level and detail of help that they need to get ahead. Combining the personal discipline learned during 20 years as a Naval Officer with the unique expertise learned in one-on-one communication with peers and sailors as well as my five children, I can help you or your child succeed. A Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering, and a Math Minor help qualify me for tutoring in many subjects. My individualized tutoring methods also raised my step-son's Physics grade from a C to an A in one semester. I specialize in mathematics (basic arithmetic through calculus) but can help in many other subjects. Learning should be fun, but should also, at times, bring "Instant" results. I work to keep positive encouragement in every lesson, tutoring, or test preparation session. I speak fluent Spanish!
I enjoy helping students build confidence in chemistry, physics, and the ACT. I just finished up my sophomore year studying biomedical engineering with a 3.99 GPA. While at school, I am a peer tutor for general chemistry, organic chemistry, and physics 1. I love getting to know my students and helping them out with their unique concerns. I have a very problem-based teaching philosophy where we work through lots of practice problems together. I can't wait to meet you! Let's connect!
As a passionate tutor with over 2 years of experience, I am dedicated to helping students excel in mathematics, particularly in subjects like Algebra, Calculus, and Geometry. Currently pursuing a Bachelor's in Data Science at Utah State University, I leverage my academic background to provide real-world applications that make complex concepts more relatable. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring their understanding. I believe in tailoring my approach to meet each student's unique needs, which not only boosts their confidence but also enhances their academic success. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy engaging in problem-solving challenges and exploring new technologies, which further fuels my enthusiasm for teaching and learning.
A math major tackling ACT Math is a different experience than drilling practice tests alone. Rebecca scored a 34 ACT composite and brings university-level number sense to the test's trickiest problems — the coordinate geometry and trigonometry questions in the 50s and 60s that separate good scores from great ones. She teaches efficient strategies for managing the section's tight pacing.
I am fluent in Spanish.
Kristina scored a 32 ACT composite and brings deep quantitative training from her biochemistry and biomedical engineering degrees. She tackles the ACT Math section concept by concept — coordinate geometry, trigonometric identities, probability — and teaches students how to identify which problems to solve quickly and which deserve extra time.
I'm currently working toward graduating from the University of Utah with a degree in Sociology. I tutor mainly math and writing, but am able to tutor in a variety of subjects. I strive to make my tutoring sessions productive and enjoyable by getting students involved and excited about learning.
Mechanical engineering at the University of Utah means Samantha uses algebra, trigonometry, and geometry daily in contexts where getting the math wrong has real consequences — that practical fluency carries over when she's walking students through the same concepts on the ACT. She scored a 33 composite and teaches students to identify what each problem is actually asking before touching their calculator, a habit that cuts down on the careless mistakes that pile up across 60 questions.
I'm Lizz, a middle school math teacher working in Chicago Public Schools. I love to see students go from describing themselves as "not a math person" to feeling like they meet exciting challenges in math and other parts of their lives. Even though I love working in the classroom, I feel like tutoring allows me to make more of an impact and connect with students.
I am an undergraduate at Washington University in St. Louis majoring in Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology on the Premed track. I have two years worth of experience peer tutoring. I feel the most confident tutoring ACT preparation. During my time as a high school student, I worked from an ACT score of 25 to a 36 and developed many effective strategies that I will tailor to the students I tutor and understand the ins and outs of the test. In addition to working with high school peers, I have also enjoyed teaching private piano and violin lessons for elementary students. Helping people knock down their roadblocks is a passion of mine. Standardized tests and basic education may feel removed from our passions, but developing those foundations are essential for opening up opportunities and becoming capable of taking on our pursuits.
Computational biology at Cornell means Emily spends her days translating messy biological data into precise mathematical models — so the algebra, probability, and trig concepts packed into ACT Math's 60 questions are tools she uses constantly, not abstract formulas she memorized once. She scored a 36 ACT composite and teaches students to identify what each problem is really testing before they start calculating, which cuts down on the second-guessing that burns clock in the back half of the section.
Physics majors live and breathe the algebra, trigonometry, and graphical reasoning that make up the bulk of ACT Math — Dylan's Vanderbilt coursework means he solves these kinds of problems daily, not just on test day. He's especially strong at showing students what a function or equation actually looks like on a graph, which turns abstract questions into something visual and quick to solve. His 36 ACT composite backs up that approach.
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.
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.
I am available to tutor in a broad range of subjects, though I am most passionate about Economics, History, and Civics. Please feel free to contact me and I would be happy to arrange a session.
Scoring well on ACT Math isn't about knowing advanced concepts — it's about moving quickly and accurately through 60 questions that span pre-algebra to trigonometry. Talia earned a 36 composite and teaches students to recognize which problems deserve full work and which can be solved in under 30 seconds with the right shortcut. That kind of strategic pacing is often the difference between a good score and a great one.
Earning a 36 ACT composite, Eric approaches the Math section as a pacing and pattern-recognition challenge as much as a content test. The first 40 questions reward speed and accuracy on pre-algebra through coordinate geometry, while the final 20 demand quick thinking on trigonometry and matrices — and he teaches students to shift gears between those two phases deliberately. His method turns the 60-minute time crunch from a source of panic into a manageable strategy.
I am currently a resident physician at Northwestern Hospital.
Chemical engineering at Michigan means Edward solves problems daily where algebra, trig, and unit conversions aren't textbook exercises — they're how you size a heat exchanger or model fluid flow. That applied math instinct, paired with a 36 ACT composite, lets him show students the fastest way to decode each of the 60 questions rather than grinding through every calculation from scratch. Rated 4.8 by students.
Scoring a 35 ACT composite means Emily knows how the math section tests concepts — it's less about advanced formulas and more about recognizing which tool to apply under time pressure, whether that's coordinate geometry, probability, or trigonometric identities. She breaks down each problem type so students learn to spot what's being asked before they start calculating. Rated 5.0 by students.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and commitment level, but most students see meaningful gains within 8-12 weeks of consistent practice. Students who work with a tutor typically improve faster because they can identify and target their specific weak areas—whether that's algebra, geometry, or test-taking pacing—rather than studying broadly. The ACT Math section rewards both accuracy and speed, so a tutor can help you develop strategies that work for your learning style.
Many students struggle with pacing because the 60-minute section requires solving 60 questions—that's only one minute per question on average. The real challenge is knowing when to skip a difficult problem and come back to it, versus spending time to solve it correctly. A tutor can teach you strategic approaches to manage your time, like tackling easier questions first and learning which question types typically take you longer, so you can build a personalized test-day strategy.
The best way is to take a full practice test under timed conditions and review your results by topic—the ACT breaks down performance into areas like algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and data interpretation. When you connect with a tutor, they can analyze your practice test results to pinpoint exactly where you're losing points, whether it's conceptual gaps or careless errors. From there, you can create a focused study plan instead of reviewing everything.
Consistency matters more than marathon sessions—most students benefit from 3-4 focused practice sessions per week, each 45-60 minutes long. This rhythm gives your brain time to absorb concepts between sessions while keeping the material fresh. A tutor can help you structure these sessions effectively, mixing targeted skill practice with full-length timed sections so you're building both accuracy and speed.
Test anxiety often comes from feeling unprepared or panicking when you encounter an unfamiliar question type. Working with a tutor helps build confidence because you've practiced extensively and seen similar problems before—you know what to expect. Tutors can also teach you concrete strategies like deep breathing, positive self-talk, and a clear game plan for the test, so you feel in control rather than overwhelmed.
Yes—ACT Math questions test the same concepts but often in unfamiliar formats that require strategic thinking rather than just calculation. For example, you might need to work backwards from answer choices or recognize that a geometry problem is really testing algebra. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who specialize in ACT Math and can teach you how to decode these question types and develop efficient solving strategies.
Your first session focuses on understanding where you are and where you want to go. You'll likely take a diagnostic practice test or review results from a recent test, discuss your score goals, and talk about your learning style. From there, your tutor creates a personalized plan that targets your specific challenges—whether that's mastering certain topics, improving your pacing, or building test-day confidence.
Look for tutors who have strong math backgrounds, proven experience teaching ACT prep, and ideally their own high scores on the test. They should understand not just the math content but also test-specific strategies—how to manage time, recognize question patterns, and avoid common traps. When you connect with Varsity Tutors, we match you with experienced tutors who specialize in ACT Math and understand how to help students in Provo succeed.
