Scoring a 35 ACT composite required John to dominate the Math section, and he knows which topics carry the most weight — coordinate geometry, trigonometric identities, and logarithm properties show up repeatedly and are where most students leave points on the table. He teaches efficient problem-solving strategies that cut through the section's time pressure, so students spend seconds, not minutes, on questions designed to slow them down.
I am an undergraduate at Washington University, and I grew up in Columbus, Ohio. Math has always been one of my favorite subjects. I love Pre-algebra, Calculus, Linear Algebra and everything in between! I have tutored for about four years and have worked with students of all ages. Most students come to me for Math, but I have also worked with students on SAT and ACT test prep, Statistics and Physics. Everyone learns in a slightly different way, and I love figuring out the best way to teach something to people individually and dig down to what questions they really need to have answered to understand the material. In my spare time, I like to go on long bike rides and explore St. Louis's restaurants. I also love baking, playing with dogs and cats, watching movies with my friends and playing soccer.
Teaching AP Chemistry and Honors Biology day in and day out means Samuel constantly uses the algebra, proportional reasoning, and data-analysis skills that fill the ACT Math section — he's the kind of tutor who can explain why a formula works because he applies it in a real classroom every day. His 34 ACT composite and 4.9 rating speak to both his command of the content and his ability to make it click under timed conditions.
A 34 ACT composite means Jacob handled the Math section's trickiest content — logarithms, matrices, trigonometric identities — under real time pressure. He teaches students to categorize each problem type on sight so they can allocate time strategically, spending seconds on straightforward algebra and saving energy for the higher-level geometry and pre-calc questions at the end.
The ACT Math section covers a wide arc from pre-algebra through trigonometry, and Joy has taught every stop along that path during her decade-plus career as an educator. She breaks down coordinate geometry, function notation, and trig identities into manageable steps so students can move through all 60 questions with confidence and speed.
Computational biology at Columbia means Sean spends his time writing code to model biological systems — work that demands constant fluency with algebra, probability, and data interpretation, which happen to be the three pillars of ACT Math. He scored a 34 composite and uses that experience to teach students how to quickly classify each of the 60 questions by type so they're never wasting time deciding *how* to start a problem. Rated 4.9 by students.
I am currently working towards an Aerospace Engineering degree at the University of Colorado, Boulder. In high school, I worked with 5th grade students tutoring math. Beyond that, I was always avaliable to help my classmates learn topics that I may have understood better at the time. Overall, math and science courses are my favorite to help people with because I enjoy those courses myself and think the knowledge is not hard to learn if given the right teacher and enough time. In teaching, I like to understand the level of comprehension the student has first before just going in and telling them what he/she should do. It is more effective to learn how to teach yourself the knowledge than to just be able to regurgitate it onto a test. Other than academics, I like playing basketball, video games, and just hanging out and messing around with friends.
Most ACT Math questions test algebra and proportional reasoning that Kristen covers daily as a seventh-grade math and reading teacher — she knows exactly which foundational gaps cause students to stall on problems that should be quick points. Her 33 ACT composite backs up that content knowledge, and her classroom instinct for spotting where a student's thinking derails means practice sessions zero in on the specific skills that move scores rather than reworking material a student already owns.
Scoring a 34 ACT composite means Vijaya knows how the math section tests concepts like coordinate geometry, trigonometric identities, and probability under tight time constraints. She breaks down each problem type by identifying what the question is actually asking — a skill that eliminates the trap answers designed to catch rushed test-takers. Rated 5.0 by students.
Scoring well on ACT Math means handling 60 questions in 60 minutes, which leaves no room for second-guessing whether a problem needs the law of sines or a system of equations. Megan teaches students to categorize each question type on sight so they can select the right approach instantly. Her 33 ACT composite and her experience across algebra, calculus, and middle school math give her a clear read on where speed breaks down and how to fix it.
Scoring a 33 ACT composite means Katherine handled the Math section's jump from basic algebra to trigonometry and matrices under serious time pressure. She teaches students to recognize which formula or approach a problem is really testing, cutting through the ACT's tendency to disguise straightforward concepts in unfamiliar setups.
Scoring a 32 ACT composite means Parag knows how to navigate the Math section's time pressure and question progression from pre-algebra through trigonometry. He teaches students to recognize which formula or concept each problem is really testing, cutting through the wording to find the fastest path to the answer.
Scoring a 33 ACT composite, Taylor knows that the Math section rewards speed as much as skill — students need to move efficiently through algebra, geometry, and trigonometry questions without getting stuck on any single problem. She walks through time-management strategies alongside the actual math, teaching students which question types to attack first and where to avoid common traps that eat up the clock.
Scoring a 34 ACT composite, Mubariz tackles the Math section by teaching students to recognize which concept each problem is actually testing — whether it's a disguised systems-of-equations question or a trigonometric identity hiding behind an unfamiliar setup. As a chemistry major at Washington University in St. Louis, he uses math daily and understands how algebra, geometry, and trig interlock across the 60-question sprint. He emphasizes strategic pacing alongside deep concept knowledge so students aren't just accurate but fast.
I am a dental student at University of Missouri-Kansas City and I will graduate with a DDS in 2025. I have benefitted immensely from study groups, peer workshops, and online resources during my time in undergrad, so I know how much a little extra work can help in the long run. I am excited to work with you to make your English, reading, writing, biology, or psychology goals a reality! When I'm not doing school stuff, I love to read, hang out with my foster cats, and spend time outside.
I am a recent graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder. I am a Colorado native who enjoys rock climbing and nature. I work currently for a large international engineering consulting company and specialize in water engineering.
The ACT Math section covers a wide spread — from pre-algebra ratios all the way to trigonometric identities — and knowing where to spend your time matters as much as knowing the math. Shreya scored a 32 ACT composite and teaches students to recognize which problems to solve quickly and which deserve a second look. Rated 5.0 by students, she breaks each practice test into patterns so the real exam feels familiar.
I am a medical student at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. I love to work with students to help them reach their fullest potential.
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.
I am a Yale graduate with over 8 years experience tutoring students from a variety of backgrounds. I recently graduated from the Yale School of Public Health with a MPH concentrating in Epidemiology and Global Health. I also received my B.S. from Yale with a double major in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and French. I have experience both leading group classes and working with students one on one. I will respond to a student's strengths, weaknesses, and learning style in order to help them succeed and make the most of our time together. I earned a perfect score of 36 on the ACT, 2280 on the SAT, and qualified as a National Merit Scholar on the PSAT. I look forward to working with you!
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.
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.
Research in astrophysics and optical engineering means Dennis spends his days doing math that's orders of magnitude harder than anything on the ACT — so the algebra, trigonometry, and coordinate geometry across all 60 questions feel like second nature to him. He teaches students to read each problem for what it's actually asking, cutting through the extra wording that turns a simple calculation into a time sink. His 36 ACT composite and 4.7 rating back up the approach.
I am a sophomore at the Georgia Institute of Technology and am working towards a major in Computer Engineering. I have been tutoring students of all ages and backgrounds in various math topics ranging from elementary school math to AP Calculus throughout high school. I love teaching math and always find it amazing to watch my students grow and improve in their mathematical abilities. While helping students with standardized testing, we go through several tricks and tactics that have helped my students succeed and have fun in the process. I am also well versed in Physics and have spent 3 years taking the highest levels of physics courses. I love playing all sports (especially soccer) and enjoy playing the guitar in my free time as well.
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.
I am a patient, intellectual, and calm college student at the University of Michigan passionate about tutoring others to improve their proficiency in a wide variety of subjects. I teach students by creating individualized plans that cater to the strengths and weaknesses of the student. I work hard and as long as it takes to ensure that the student derives maximum benefit. I love teaching a wide variety of subjects, and have a speciality in standardized tests.
Scoring a 35 ACT composite while pursuing mechanical engineering at Harvard, Christopher brings genuine mathematical fluency to ACT Math prep. He zeroes in on the topics that appear most frequently — logarithms, trigonometric identities, coordinate geometry — and teaches time-saving shortcuts so students aren't scrambling in the final ten questions.
I'm not tutoring, I love walking through New York for design inspiration and taking carpentry, metalworking, and illustration classes.
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 a recent magna cum laude graduate of Duke University and a full-time educator in North Carolina. I have a passion for helping young people figure things out and have experience writing professionally.
