Vanessa
BA Harvard University
4+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Harvard University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Social Studies with a focus in food policy and law. During my undergraduate studies I spent my time in political organizations and in research, teaching fellowships on political philosophy at Harvard Effective Altruism and serving as a Visiting Researcher in food policy at the University of Cambridge. After graduating, I spent time as a researcher in political science and history and mentored students working towards attending top schools in the US and UK, providing one-on-one help with applications and developing seminars on topics like Sociology and English. Most recently, I have started a non-profit organization in Ecuador focused on educating families about healthy cooking and providing nutritional assistance. At the same time, I am excited to continue pursuing my passion for teaching and helping students navigate subjects like History, English Literature, ESL, Spanish, and Standardized Tests like the ACT, AP, and IB tests. I believe that the knowledge young people receive in primary and secondary education is the ultimate individual enrichment; an essential part of understanding who they are and a key to seeing who they may become. In my spare time, I walk, read history books like Doris Kearns Goodwin's Team of Rivals, and listen to music like Led Zeppelin and Lana del Rey.

Talia
BA Northwestern University
5+ Years Tutoring

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.

Sydney
BA Carnegie Mellon University
8+ Years Tutoring

Scoring a 35 ACT composite means Sydney tackled the Math section's full range — from coordinate geometry and trigonometric identities to probability and matrices — under real time pressure. She approaches ACT Math as a strategic exercise, teaching students which problems to solve algebraically, which to estimate, and how to manage pacing so they aren't rushing the final ten questions.

Cindy
Current Undergrad Student, English Harvard University
9+ Years Tutoring

Scoring high on ACT Math means handling everything from pre-algebra ratios to trigonometric identities without slowing down, and Cindy's 36 composite came from knowing exactly when to solve algebraically versus when to backsolve or estimate. She teaches students to categorize problems on sight so they spend their time on the questions that actually challenge them. Her tutoring spans elementary math through calculus, so she can quickly identify and fill whatever gaps are costing points.

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 tutoring. Students who work with a tutor on pacing strategies, problem-solving techniques, and targeted practice typically improve by 2-5 composite points. The key is identifying your specific weak areas—whether that's algebra, geometry, or test-taking speed—and addressing them systematically.

Running out of time is one of the most common challenges students face, and it's very fixable with the right strategy. A tutor can help you prioritize problems by difficulty, skip strategically rather than rushing, and practice pacing drills to build speed without sacrificing accuracy. Many students also benefit from learning which question types they can solve fastest and tackling those first to build confidence and secure points.

The ACT Math section tests similar content but with different pacing and question styles—the ACT is faster (60 questions in 60 minutes versus the SAT's 80 minutes for similar content) and focuses more on straightforward problem-solving rather than multi-step reasoning. The ACT also includes trigonometry, which the SAT doesn't. A tutor familiar with both tests can help you understand these differences and adapt your study approach accordingly.

The best way is to take a full practice test under timed conditions, then review every problem you missed or guessed on to identify patterns. Common weak areas include algebra, functions, geometry, and trigonometry. A tutor can analyze your practice test results, pinpoint which concepts are causing the most trouble, and create a focused study plan so you're not wasting time on topics you already know.

Most students benefit from taking 4-6 full practice tests spread across their study period, with at least one every 2-3 weeks. This gives you enough data to track progress and identify remaining weak spots without burning out. Between full tests, targeted practice on specific topics is more efficient than endless drilling. A tutor can help you space these tests strategically and make sure you're learning from each one rather than just repeating mistakes.

Test anxiety often comes from feeling unprepared or panicking when you encounter a hard problem. Working with a tutor builds confidence through repeated exposure to different question types and timed practice, which reduces anxiety significantly. Tutors can also teach you calming strategies like taking deep breaths between problems, skipping difficult questions without dwelling on them, and focusing on what you can control rather than what you can't.

Most students preparing for the ACT benefit from 5-8 hours per week of focused math study over 8-12 weeks, though this varies based on your starting score and target score. Consistent, focused practice beats cramming—30-45 minutes several times a week is more effective than marathon weekend sessions. A tutor can help you build a realistic schedule that fits your school commitments and keeps you on track without overwhelming yourself.

Your first session typically focuses on understanding your current level, goals, and learning style. Expect to take a practice test or review your recent test results so the tutor can identify your strengths and weaknesses. You'll discuss your target score, timeline, and any specific challenges you're facing. This information helps the tutor create a personalized study plan tailored to your needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
