Competition math throughout high school gave Tracy a toolkit most ACT Math tutors don't have — she spots shortcuts in coordinate geometry and trigonometry problems that save 30-plus seconds per question. That efficiency matters on a 60-question, 60-minute section where running out of time is the most common score killer. Tracy scored a 36 ACT composite and knows exactly where the difficulty spikes in questions 40-60.

Amber scored a 35 ACT composite and brings particular clarity to the Math section's later questions, where algebra, coordinate geometry, and trigonometry concepts get layered into multi-step problems. She teaches students to identify what each question is actually asking before calculating — a triage skill that prevents careless errors and saves time for the harder items.
Scoring a 35 ACT composite, Philip knows the math section inside out — from the straightforward pre-algebra questions to the coordinate geometry and trigonometry problems that trip up high scorers. He teaches students to spot which formula or shortcut each question is really testing, cutting down on wasted time and second-guessing. That strategic approach is what turns a good math score into a great one.
Computer science at Stanford means Elyse lives in algebra, functions, and logarithms daily — the same concepts that dominate the back half of ACT Math. With a 35 composite, she teaches students to spot the underlying structure of tricky problems fast, especially the function and sequence questions that look unfamiliar but follow predictable patterns. Rated 5.0 by students.
Most ACT Math questions below #40 test algebra and proportional reasoning that students already know — the issue is speed and recognition under pressure, not missing content. Thomas, who scored a 36 ACT composite, teaches students to read each problem for its underlying structure so they can match it to a solution method in seconds rather than re-deriving from scratch. His math/stats background at Carleton means the trig and probability items in the back third of the section get the same clear, efficient treatment.
Pacing is the hidden challenge on ACT Math: sixty questions in sixty minutes means there's no time to rethink an approach mid-problem. Quinn identifies which content gaps — whether it's coordinate geometry, logarithms, or trigonometric identities — are costing the most points and drills efficient solution paths for each. His own 35 ACT composite came from exactly this kind of targeted preparation.
After scoring a 35 ACT composite, Patrick developed a clear sense of how the Math section tests concepts — the way it buries straightforward algebra or coordinate geometry inside wordy setups designed to eat up time. He teaches students to decode what a problem is actually asking before they start calculating, a reading-intensive approach that plays to his strengths as a UChicago-trained linguist.
Statistics majors from UChicago don't just learn math — they learn to think in patterns, probabilities, and efficient problem-solving, which is exactly what the ACT Math section rewards across its algebra, geometry, and data questions. Samuel scored a 35 ACT composite and brings a methodical approach to the 60-question format, teaching students to identify what each problem is really asking before they ever pick up a pencil. Rated 4.9 by students.
I am passionate about teaching because I understand greatly a lot of the academic struggles and problems students may face through education, especially as a first generation college student. Currently I am studying for my medical doctorate degree (M.D.) at the Medical College of Wisconsin. I graduated UCLA with a Biology degree with Asian Languages minor in 2019, cum laude honors. Both during my undergrad and days since, I had a chance to tutor private clients in Southern California and work for a few exam prep companies. I enjoy tutoring math, sciences (chemistry, biology mainly), social sciences (history, politics), essay writing, and Japanese. I also help assist in studying for standardized exams (SAT, ACT, SAT Subject, AP, MCAT, PCAT, OAT)! My tutoring style will be very direct in trying to identify gaps in knowledge and working/practicing on those gaps. I like to be interactive and answer the students' questions directly. I strongly believe education is one path in which students may be able to reach their dreams and I will be your supporter along the way. In my free time, I enjoy playing the piano, practicing martial arts, and watching anime/playing games.
Physics at Cornell means Joel spends his days translating real-world problems into equations — exactly the skill that separates a good ACT Math score from a great one, especially on the word-heavy algebra and trigonometry questions in the back half of the section. His 35 ACT composite backs up that quantitative fluency, and he teaches students to read each problem like a physics setup: identify what you know, name what you need, and pick the shortest path to the answer.
Scoring well on ACT Math means handling everything from pre-algebra ratios to trigonometric identities within a single 60-minute sprint. Alexander's 35 ACT composite came partly from knowing which problems to solve algebraically and which to shortcut with estimation or back-solving. He teaches students to triage the 60 questions by difficulty so they bank easy points before tackling the harder coordinate geometry and matrix problems.
Engineering coursework keeps Adam sharp on exactly the math the ACT tests: coordinate geometry, trigonometry, logarithms, and word problems that require translating English into equations. He scored a 35 composite and teaches students to identify which formula a question is really asking for, cutting through the ACT's tendency to bury straightforward problems in confusing setups.
Scoring a 34 composite on the ACT, Mark knows the math section's particular pressure points — the jump from straightforward algebra to coordinate geometry and trigonometry in the final third, where pacing falls apart for most students. He teaches specific time-management strategies alongside the content, so students learn which problems to solve quickly, which to skip, and how to avoid the traps baked into answer choices.
Scoring well on ACT Math means handling 60 questions in 60 minutes across topics from pre-algebra through trigonometry — speed and accuracy both matter. Abhinav's 34 ACT composite came partly from a deliberate math strategy: identifying which problems to solve quickly, which to set up algebraically, and which to skip and return to. He teaches that same decision-making framework so students stop losing points to time pressure.
Scoring a 34 ACT composite, Josh knows the math section inside out — from coordinate geometry and trigonometry to the probability questions that trip up students in the final ten problems. He teaches a pacing strategy that prioritizes quick wins on earlier questions so students have real time left for the harder material at the end.
I am a bilingual school-based speech-language pathologist in Milwaukee. I have been working in the schools for over 4 years supporting Spanish speaking students with communication disorders. I completed my Master's in speech-language pathology from Marquette University in 2016. I have also tutored students of all grade levels in Spanish, math, reading and writing for over 8 years, and enjoy supporting learners so they can be successful at school and work towards their goals for the future. I work on a daily basis to support English language learners and students with special needs, and have tutored students from many diverse backgrounds. My approach to tutoring is identifying each individual's strengths and skills, and teaching specific strategies so the student can feel empowered to support their own learning. I am patient, thorough, and receptive to how each student learns best.
Most ACT Math questions test algebra and functions concepts that Jacob already teaches in his high school and AP tutoring sessions — so he knows which gaps show up repeatedly and how to close them fast. His 33 ACT composite backs up that content knowledge, and his communication background gives him an edge in breaking down wordy problem setups into the simple equations hiding underneath. Rated 4.9 by students.
Most ACT Math questions test algebra and geometry concepts students have already seen — the hard part is solving them cleanly in under a minute each. Nicole, who scored a 33 ACT composite and holds a 5.0 tutoring rating, teaches a streamlined process for each problem type: identify the concept, skip the unnecessary information, and execute the calculation without second-guessing. Her psychology background also gives her practical strategies for the focus and pacing issues that cause even well-prepared students to lose points late in the section.
I am a martial arts enthusiast, training Judo and Jiu Jitsu nearly every day of the week. In my down time, I like to play guitar and read popular scientific literature.
A mathematics degree gives Taylor an edge on ACT Math that goes beyond test tricks: she actually understands why the law of cosines works, how logarithmic scales behave, and where matrix questions are headed. She maps the 60-question sprint into clusters — pre-algebra, coordinate geometry, trigonometry — so students know exactly where their points are hiding. Her own 35 ACT speaks to the strategy behind the content.
I am studying Economics and Business with a Spanish minor at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. My favorite subjects to tutor are Math and Spanish for elementary and middle school students. I look forward to working with you!
Connor's applied math major means algebra, trig, and pre-calc aren't test topics for him — they're daily coursework, which lets him spot exactly where a problem is headed before finishing the first line. He earned a 33 ACT composite and teaches students to sort the 60 math questions into instant-solve, setup-required, and come-back-later buckets so nothing eats more time than it deserves. Rated 5.0 by students.
Scoring a 33 ACT composite, Zach knows the math section rewards speed and pattern recognition as much as raw calculation skill. He walks students through the specific question types — coordinate geometry, trigonometric identities, probability — that show up repeatedly, and teaches efficient strategies for each one.
I am an upcoming Sophomore studying Finance with a pre-med interest within the Wisconsin School of Business. Please feel comfortable contacting me with any types of questions! I am extremely passionate about using my own personal experience and style to help any type of student excel in a variety of courses. I believe traditional learning environments can oftentimes overcomplicate topics, and my primary goal is to look at things from a different angle/perspective to truly understand the given material. I'm looking forward to getting through this together!
I am understanding and patientI know that the tutees feedback is sometimes more important than my own, so I make sure to leave room for those valuable conversations between us. I find that writing can sometimes be hard to reveal, so I always treat every writer with the utmost respect. I always tell writers that Im not here to tell them what they did wrong in
I'm fluent in R, Python, SQL, and M (MUMPS). This September I will be pursuing a Master's degree in data science. I'm available to tutor GRE, ACT, and SAT math as well as other math, statistics, and economics subjects. Although I am most passionate about math, I'm also happy to help students with general testing strategies and preparation for the other parts of the standardized exams.
I'm a lifelong educator, former professor and counselor who believes in the importance of fostering and cultivating individual strengths and interests in order to address areas of need.
Scoring a 32 on the ACT herself, Megan knows exactly where the Math section tries to slow students down — coordinate geometry questions that look harder than they are, probability problems buried in word-heavy setups, and tricky logarithm applications. She teaches efficient strategies for identifying what each question is really asking so students stop losing time on misdirection.
I am a passionate tutor of several subjects, with an emphasis on high school math. I attended Johns Hopkins University and spent a semester abroad in Seville, Spain. Since graduating in 2014 with a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics, I have worked in software development, education, and the performing arts -- I like a bit of variety to keep life interesting! I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Educational Policy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My personal interests include dance, cooking, and podcasts.
Engineering coursework at UW-Madison meant Cole spent years solving math problems under pressure, which is exactly what the ACT Math section demands across algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. He teaches students to recognize which formula or approach a problem is really asking for — especially on the higher-numbered questions where the setup is deliberately confusing. His 33 ACT composite backs up an approach built on efficiency and pattern recognition.
I am dedicated to employing practical, time-efficient study solutions to help prospective medical school applicants reach their goals
Most ACT Math questions below #45 test algebra and proportional reasoning that Samantha uses constantly in her microbiology and genetics coursework at UW-Madison — calculating dilution factors, interpreting data sets, modeling growth curves. She teaches students to read each problem like a mini word problem from a science lab: identify what's given, name what's missing, and pick the shortest path to the answer. Her 32 ACT composite and 5.0 tutoring rating back up that no-nonsense approach.
Math is Sarah's favorite subject to tutor — she finds it the most concrete and logical — and her 32 ACT composite means she's personally navigated the pacing and content demands of the math section. She's especially good at breaking down the pre-algebra and geometry problems that should be quick wins but trip students up when the wording gets tricky, turning rushed mistakes into reliable points.
Industrial engineering at Georgia Tech is essentially applied math under pressure — optimization, probability, statistical modeling — which maps neatly onto the algebra, functions, and data questions that fill the ACT Math section. Ilesh pairs that quantitative training with a perfect 36 ACT composite and a pacing approach built around identifying which of the 60 problems deserve full attention and which can be solved in under 30 seconds. Rated 5.0 by students.
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.
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 currently a resident physician at Northwestern Hospital.
A chemical engineering degree means Alex didn't just memorize formulas — he used trigonometry, coordinate geometry, and logarithms daily in coursework at Washington and Lee. On the ACT Math section, he teaches students to recognize which of the 60 questions are designed to waste time and which reward a quick conceptual shortcut. His perfect 36 ACT composite came partly from that kind of strategic pacing.
Scoring high on ACT Math means handling 60 questions in 60 minutes, which leaves no room for getting stuck on coordinate geometry or probability problems. Anna earned a perfect 36 ACT composite and teaches a triage strategy — identifying which questions to solve immediately, which to set up and return to, and which to skip strategically. That pacing discipline is often the difference between a 30 and a 34+.
