Scoring a 35 ACT composite means Roshni knows exactly where the math section tries to trip students up — especially on coordinate geometry, matrices, and trigonometry questions that appear in the final third. She teaches students to identify which formula a problem is really testing and how to eliminate answer choices quickly when time is tight. Rated 4.9 by students.

I am a sophomore electrical engineering student and member of the honors college at Virginia Commonwealth University. I recently graduated from Maggie L. Walker Governor's School in June of 2017. I have a passion for mathematics, especially calculus, and am excited to share my knowledge with others.
Most ACT Math questions boil down to algebra and coordinate geometry concepts that Devan drills regularly as a finance major at UVA — rate problems, function behavior, and data interpretation are baked into his coursework. His 34 ACT composite means he's personally navigated the pacing pressure of the 60-question format and knows which shortcuts actually hold up under time constraints. Rated 4.7 by students.
Scoring well on ACT Math isn't about knowing advanced topics — it's about executing algebra, geometry, and trig quickly under a brutal 60-minute time limit. Zeke, who earned a 34 composite, teaches students to identify which of the 60 questions are fast points and which deserve a strategic guess, then sharpens speed on the high-frequency problem types. That combination of triage and fluency is what moves scores from the low 20s into the 30s.
I am ready to help all students by answering their questions and frequently addressing some questions to them....
I am currently a student at the University of Pittsburgh! I originally hail from the DC area. I have been tutoring for about 2 years and have a lot of experience because my family has a huge teaching background. I am majoring in biochemistry and psychology but I love to write and read books! I love to tutor not only because I love to teach but also because I love to meet new people and help people lead happier lives.
Scoring a 32 ACT composite while holding deep expertise from pre-algebra through differential equations, Kyle tackles ACT Math by teaching students to recognize which tool a problem actually requires. The test mixes algebra, geometry, and trigonometry in deliberately unfamiliar contexts, and he shows how to cut through the disguise and identify the underlying concept in seconds.
Scoring high on ACT Math isn't about knowing advanced topics — it's about solving pre-algebra through trigonometry questions accurately under tight time pressure. Anmol, who earned a 33 ACT composite and studies computer science at Virginia Tech, tackles the section strategically, teaching students which problems to attack first and where to spot shortcuts in coordinate geometry and function questions.
From the moment I began helping classmates in middle school study for math quizzes, I realized how much I enjoyed guiding others toward understanding. Over time, that spark grew into a genuine passion for education. What drives me most is witnessing the transformation in a student's confidencethe moment when confusion gives way to clarity, and they begin to believe in their own abilities. Tutoring, for me, is not simply about helping students achieve better grades; it's about empowering them to trust their capacity to learn and grow. My journey as a tutor began in high school, where I volunteered as a math tutor for underclassmen struggling with algebra and geometry. I worked one-on-one with students after school, helping them tackle difficult problems and build foundational skills. This early experience taught me how patience and consistent encouragement could make a lasting difference. In college, I served as a teaching assistant for general chemistry at the University of Virginia.
I am currently a lead preschool teacher. I received my Bachelor's in Psychology from VCU and am looking to return to school to further my education. While in college, I worked as a Supplemental Instruction leader, teaching general biology and anatomy. I have also worked in an after school program with elementary age children, but I have my fondest memories volunteering as a counselor for Camp Kesem. In my own experience, I loved school and now I love teaching even more at all age levels! I especially enjoy the challenge of getting creative to discover what approach and mediums work best for each student. I am available for in person as well as online tutoring.
I'm currently a Junior at VCU. My major is Biology and I'm minoring in Chemistry and Mathematics. In addition, I'm also on the pre-med track, so I have taken many science classes!
I'm Julian and I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Virginia. I have been there before. Repeatedly, there are moments where I do not understand a certain subject and I am in need of assistance. Even the most notable scholars need help at some point in their lifetime. For this reason, I'd like to repay the favor and help other students in need. More people than I can count have been there to help me and I would like to do the same with other students. To do this, I will tutor with an engaging and interactive environment. When assisting students, I like to go beyond explicit instructions. I strive for the student to fully understand the processes that we cover so that it sticks in the student's mind more effectively. Subsequently, I believe it is important to continue practicing the content individually. The main goal is to instill long term confidence in the student that surpasses what is being taught.
Jessica's 33 ACT composite came from an International Studies program at Richmond that was heavier on quantitative reasoning than most people expect — economics coursework meant constant exposure to the algebra, graphing, and data-interpretation skills that fill the math section. She teaches students to spot what each problem is actually asking before touching their calculator, which cuts through the section's trickiest setups.
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.
Scoring well on ACT Math means covering a huge range — from pre-algebra through trigonometry — under serious time pressure. Liz earned a 34 ACT composite and has spent years teaching math at the middle school level, so she's particularly sharp at diagnosing which content gaps are costing the most points. She builds targeted practice around those gaps and layers in pacing strategies so students aren't rushing the last ten questions.
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.
Most ACT Math questions aren't actually hard — they're designed to punish rushed thinking and shaky fundamentals, which is something Viktor learned firsthand while studying math at UChicago, where every concept had to be understood from the ground up. He scored a 35 ACT composite and a 1600 SAT, and he uses that test experience to teach students how to read each problem precisely and pick the cleanest solution path before touching their calculator.
The ACT Math section covers everything from pre-algebra ratios to logarithms and matrices, but the real challenge is pacing — 60 questions in 60 minutes leaves zero room for getting stuck. Eileen earned a 36 ACT composite and teaches students to recognize which problems deserve full work and which can be solved by backsolving or plugging in answer choices. That triage skill alone can recover five or six questions most students lose to the clock.
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'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.
Most ACT Math questions reward quick recognition over deep calculation — knowing instantly whether a problem is testing coordinate geometry, function behavior, or a ratio setup. Logan's 36 ACT composite came from exactly that kind of systematic categorization, and he teaches students to classify each of the 60 questions within seconds so they spend their time solving, not figuring out what's being asked. Rated 5.0 by students.
Most ACT Math questions below #40 test pre-algebra and algebra concepts students already know — the challenge is executing them cleanly under a one-minute-per-question pace. Aleeza, who scored a 36 ACT composite, drills students on recognizing problem types at a glance so they bank time early for the trickier trigonometry and matrix items near the end. Her biology degree keeps her sharp on the data-interpretation and probability questions that often get overlooked in prep.
Every ACT Math question has a time budget of about one minute, which means knowing when to set up an equation versus when to backsolve or estimate is just as important as the math itself. Max earned a 36 composite and brings particular strength to the coordinate geometry and trigonometry problems that cluster in the later, higher-difficulty portion of the test. He builds speed by teaching students to categorize each problem type on sight.
I am a junior at Purdue University studying Aerospace Engineering and am part of the Air Force ROTC program. I have 6 years of tutoring experience at places including Kumon, Mathnasium, and Purdue University. I have worked with kids of all ages from kindergarten to sophomores in college, each with their own set of unique strengths, and tutored a variety of subjects, including calculus, trigonometry, geometry, thermodynamics, chemistry, and physics. Like many of my previous students, I struggled to understand concepts that I was being taught and was a terrible test taker. However, I found ways to overcome my obstacles and develop an better intuition for what I was learning. I believe that it is only this intuition and understanding that helps overcome these obstacles. My least favorite thing to see people be discouraged, so with a little bit of guidance and reassurance, I want to show people that they are capable of anything they put their mind to.
I am a Neuroscience and Behavior major at Columbia University. Although my major is centered in the STEM field, I am also passionate about human rights work, global engagement, and local outreach. While my future plans are subject to change, I see myself continuing in academia, going to medical school, and becoming a physician.
