Nicholas is currently a math graduate student at the University of Illinois, which means the algebra, functions, and trigonometry that fill the ACT Math section are concepts he works with daily — not formulas he has to dust off. His own 36 ACT composite came from treating the 60-question sprint as an exercise in efficient problem classification: identifying what each question is really asking and picking the shortest path to the answer. Rated 4.9 by students, he brings that same structured, no-wasted-steps approach to every practice session.

Mechanical engineering at the university level means solving problems where algebra, trigonometry, and geometry aren't separate chapters — they show up tangled together in a single equation, which is exactly how the harder ACT Math questions work. Caroline scored a 35 ACT composite and uses that engineering instinct for breaking multi-step problems into clean, sequential calculations to teach students how to move through the back third of the section without losing time. Rated 4.5 by students.
Scoring high on ACT Math means handling everything from pre-algebra ratios to trigonometric identities within a single 60-minute sprint. Ryne's 36 ACT composite and his advanced coursework through linear algebra and multivariable calculus give him the range to tackle every difficulty level, and he teaches students which problems to solve quickly and which deserve extra time.
David's computer science training built the kind of systematic problem-solving instinct that pays off on ACT Math — he treats each question as a logic puzzle, identifying the shortest path to the answer before touching his calculator. That approach, combined with his own 36 ACT composite, means he can teach students to recognize when a geometry or trig problem is really just an algebra problem in disguise. Rated 5.0 by students.
I am a graduate student living in New York and have been tutoring and teaching test prep classes for the past several years. I love working with students to help them gain confidence and understanding in subjects that have been giving them trouble, and I strive to make learning the most positive and enjoyable experience possible!
Nisarg scored a 34 ACT composite while juggling a neuroscience curriculum full of statistics and quantitative methods, so the math section's mix of algebra, geometry, and probability feels like familiar territory. He's particularly sharp at teaching students to recognize when a problem is testing a concept they already know dressed up in unfamiliar language — a reframing skill that keeps the clock from becoming the enemy. Rated 4.9 by students.
Every ACT Math section follows a predictable difficulty curve, and Rohit teaches students to recognize which question types — coordinate geometry, logarithms, matrices — appear in the final fifteen and which show up early. His economics training means he's especially sharp on data interpretation and applied word problems. He scored a 35 composite and holds a 5.0 student rating.
The ACT Math section covers everything from pre-algebra to trigonometry in 60 minutes, so pacing and pattern recognition matter as much as raw skill. Ella earned a 36 composite and approaches each question type — coordinate geometry, matrices, logarithm properties — with specific strategies that cut down on wasted time. She's rated 5.0 by the students she's worked with.
Jaya's 35 ACT composite means she's navigated the math section's unique challenge: 60 questions spanning pre-algebra through trigonometry, all in 60 minutes. She teaches students to triage — identifying which problems to solve immediately, which to set up strategically, and which to skip and return to. Her emphasis on pacing and problem recognition is especially useful for students who know the math but run out of time.
David's math minor and economics concentration at Pomona mean the algebra, probability, and function concepts that dominate ACT Math are tools he uses daily — not abstract test topics. He scored a 36 ACT composite and brings a pacing method built around identifying which of the 60 questions deserve full attention and which can be solved in under 30 seconds by recognizing the pattern. Rated 5.0 by students.
I am an honors student at the University of Minnesota studying English and Journalism. I've been tutoring, teaching, and volunteering in schools for five years and specialize in language arts and standardized test preparation.
Between her biomedical engineering major and math minor at the University of Minnesota, Emily lives in the exact content the ACT Math section tests — coordinate geometry, trigonometric identities, and logarithmic functions all show up in her coursework regularly. Her 35 ACT composite and 5.0 student rating speak to how effectively she translates that fluency into score gains.
I am an incoming Epidemiology and Global Health Master of Public Health student at the University of Minnesota. I received my undergraduate degree in Mathematics from Grinnell College in 2020 and also have extensive coursework in philosophy, biology, chemistry, and physics. I worked as a calculus tutor in Grinnell's math lab and tutored a professor's 8th grader in recreational math, competition problems, and ACT math test prep. I'm an alumni of the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth (CTY) and enjoy juggling, sudoku, and creating origami tessellations.
The ACT Math section covers everything from pre-algebra to trigonometry in 60 minutes, so pacing matters as much as knowledge. Harry earned a 35 composite and breaks the test into tiers — which questions to solve quickly, which to set up carefully, and which to skip and return to. That strategic layer is often what separates a 28 from a 32.
I am a current veterinary student and lifelong lover of science, literature and learning. My background is primarily in biology and the life sciences, and in addition to my veterinary program, I also work as part of a research team in comparative oncology that develops treatments for cancer that benefit both humans and animals. I am passionate about increasing public understanding of science, and am happy to work with students of any level of science education.
Courtney scored a 34 ACT composite and brings that test-day fluency to the Math section's trickiest territory: coordinate geometry, matrices, and the handful of trigonometry questions that separate a 30 from a 34. She teaches students to identify which problems deserve full work and which can be solved faster by back-plugging answer choices or sketching quick diagrams.
Chemistry majors do more math than most people realize — Edward's coursework in physical chemistry alone required calculus, linear algebra, and enough applied trig to make the ACT Math section feel familiar rather than foreign. He scored a 35 ACT composite and brings a problem-solving instinct trained on reaction kinetics and thermodynamic equations, which means he can quickly identify the shortcut through a dense word problem. Rated 5.0 by students.
Scoring well on ACT Math means handling everything from pre-algebra ratios to trigonometric identities under tight time pressure — and knowing which problems to solve quickly versus which deserve extra minutes. Michelle is pursuing a mathematics education degree and scored a 34 ACT composite, so she knows both the math itself and how the test frames it. She walks students through the specific question types that appear most often and the shortcuts that actually hold up under pressure.
I'm a student at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities studying civil engineering. I have tutored students ranging from 3rd grade all the way through high school. I specialize in math and ACT tutoring.
Shrey earned a 35 ACT composite as an engineering student, and the math section plays to his strengths: coordinate geometry, trigonometric identities, and the probability questions that tend to appear late in the test. He times every practice set because the real challenge on ACT Math isn't difficulty — it's finishing 60 questions in 60 minutes without sacrificing accuracy.
Pacing is the hidden challenge on ACT Math — 60 questions in 60 minutes means there's no time to rethink an approach mid-problem. Anna, who earned a 34 ACT composite, drills students on recognizing problem types at a glance so they can jump straight to the most efficient solution path, whether it's a coordinate geometry shortcut or a quick plug-in strategy for systems of equations.
Scoring a 34 ACT composite, Ethan knows the math section inside out — the way it tests algebra, coordinate geometry, and trigonometry under tight time pressure. He teaches specific pacing strategies and shows students how to recognize which problems to solve algebraically versus which ones to estimate or back-solve, turning time management into a scoring advantage.
Scoring well on ACT Math means moving efficiently through 60 questions that span pre-algebra through trigonometry — speed matters as much as accuracy. Brian's approach zeroes in on recognizing problem types quickly, especially in the higher-numbered questions where coordinate geometry and function manipulation tend to cluster. He earned a 34 ACT composite and has taught summer test prep to high school students, so he knows which concepts yield the biggest score jumps.
Scoring a 33 ACT composite, Broden knows the Math section inside out — its pacing, its favorite problem types, and where it tries to create time pressure around coordinate geometry and trigonometry. He teaches students to recognize what each question is actually testing so they can pick the fastest solution path instead of grinding through unnecessary algebra.
Scoring a 34 composite on the ACT, Amrit knows the Math section rewards speed and strategy as much as raw ability — especially on the later questions covering matrices, logarithms, and trigonometric identities. He teaches students to recognize question types quickly and allocate time where it actually moves the score. His approach is built on the disciplined study habits he developed as an engineering student, not shortcuts.
I'm dedicated to critical thought and careful, clear writing. In my independent written work, I focus on issues of political economy, critical theory, and the social and political impacts of technology. I recently also have begun to work on a science fiction novel. In tutoring, I hope to encourage students to approach writing and language with ease and technical competence. I have extensive experience in many academic areas, and can help develop skills for large research projects, short essays, standardized test taking, and everything in between. Nothing is too complex to be broken down clearly and mastered!
I'm Emma! I'm a rising senior Classics major at Carleton College in Northfield, MN. I study Latin, Ancient Greek, and the histories associated with the two languages. Outside of class, I'm an RA, and I spend 6-8 hours a week tutoring and teaching college access courses in a nearby high school. In the future, I hope to teach high school Latin!
Scoring high on ACT Math isn't about knowing advanced topics — it's about moving quickly and accurately through algebra, coordinate geometry, and trigonometry under tight time pressure. Allison earned a 34 ACT composite and brings both her math fluency from Dartmouth's CS program and a strategic sense for which problems to solve first. She teaches students to recognize question types on sight so they spend their 60 minutes where it counts.
Most ACT Math questions reward quick translation — reading a setup and immediately knowing whether it's a systems problem, a trig identity, or a ratio in disguise. Audrey's 35 ACT composite and her background juggling both STEM coursework and classical studies mean she's practiced at switching gears fast, which is exactly the mental flexibility the 60-question time crunch demands. She zeroes in on the algebra and geometry items where students lose time overthinking rather than executing.
Scoring a 34 ACT composite, Matt knows firsthand how the Math section tests familiar concepts in unfamiliar packaging — a coordinate geometry question disguised as a word problem, or a trigonometry identity buried in an algebraic setup. He teaches students to recognize what each question is actually asking, cutting through the noise to apply the right technique quickly and confidently.
I am a graduate of Minnetonka High School and an incoming freshman at the University of Minnesota. I have done 2 years of classes at the University of Minnesota through the PSEO dual credit program. I tutor physics and math, at the high school and introductory college level. In my spare time, I like to yoyo, play chess, watch movies, and read.
I am a recent graduate of the University of Missouri in Columbia, where I earned two Bachelor of Arts degrees in French and Linguistics in May 2016. Sometime in the near future, I plan on going back to school to earn a Masters degree in translation. I have a passionate love of languages and language usage, and I derive great joy from helping others develop their skills in these areas. As such, I am a registered French, English, Writing, Essay Editing, and Grammar tutor. My goals as a tutor are to help students become more comfortable with the material that they are learning, to give them the tools necessary to develop study skills that are effective for them, and to impart upon them the same passion for learning that I possess, because I have seen that passion is a great motivator and tends to predict remarkable improvement. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy writing creatively, trying to teach myself different languages (right now it's Japanese), playing the saxophone, and going on nature walks.
Scoring well on ACT Math means handling 60 questions in 60 minutes, so speed and strategy matter as much as knowing the content. Josephine earned a 34 ACT composite and pairs her applied mathematics training with specific pacing techniques — like identifying which problems to skip and return to — that keep students from burning time on low-value questions. She covers everything from coordinate geometry to logarithms with that efficiency-first mindset.
I'm Logan! I'm currently a student at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, majoring in data science. My coding language of choice is Python, in which I have 5 plus years of formal and informal education/experience. Prior to college, I worked as a youth sports coach and camp coordinator, which has given me the skills and values needed to be a successful tutor. Moreover, during college, I've been working with younger students and have been tutoring them through their own python coursework.
Scoring well on ACT Math isn't about knowing advanced topics — it's about solving pre-algebra through trigonometry questions quickly and accurately under a 60-minute clock. Amy earned a 35 ACT composite and teaches every math subject the test covers, so she can identify whether a missed question is a content gap or a pacing issue. She walks students through the specific question types that appear most frequently and the shortcuts that save real time.
Most ACT Math questions below #40 are testing algebra and geometry concepts students already know — the challenge is recognizing them under time pressure and avoiding the trap answer choices. Nate, who scored a 33 ACT composite and tutors everything from pre-algebra through differential equations, teaches students to read each problem as a pattern-matching exercise: identify the concept, pick the efficient path, move on. Rated 5.0 by students.
Actuarial science is essentially applied probability and statistics under time pressure — which makes Alex's degree a natural fit for the ACT Math section, where quick algebraic manipulation and comfort with data questions separate good scores from great ones. He scored a 33 composite himself and uses that experience to teach students how to identify which of the 60 questions deserve full attention and which can be solved in under 30 seconds with the right shortcut.
Scoring well on ACT Math means handling 60 questions in 60 minutes, so speed and pattern recognition matter as much as knowledge. Jane's physics background gives her a practical fluency with algebra, trigonometry, and coordinate geometry that translates directly to the test — she teaches students which problems to solve algebraically and which to shortcut with estimation or back-solving.
Aerospace engineering at the University of Minnesota meant Alexander spent years applying algebra, trigonometry, and calculus under pressure — exactly the skill set the ACT Math section tests across its 60 questions, minus the rocket science. He teaches students to identify what each problem is really asking before touching their calculator, a habit that cuts through the section's trickier geometry and functions items. His 32 ACT composite and 5.0 tutoring rating back up the approach.
I am licensed for 9-12 Life Science education as well as 5-8 Science. I am currently working on my masters of education with an emphasis on natural science and environmental education at Hamline University.
