I am currently a fourth year medical student at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and graduated Suma Cum Laude from Yeshiva College with a BA in Biology and Music. As a Writing Center tutor, I worked with undergraduate and graduate students looking to improve their writing, and have also tutored Regents-level biology and chemistry. Most recently, I tutored for Kaplan, teaching an MCAT preparatory course and working one-on-one with students. When not studying, I like to ride my bike, train Taekwondo, play blues guitar (or bass, or piano, or saxophone, or drums), and read a good book.

I'm a rising junior at Harvard College. I study African American Studies with a secondary in Women's Studies and I am pursuing a language citation in Spanish. I aspire to one day go to business school. When I am not doing work, I can typically be found reading, writing, or dancing.
I am currently a 3rd year doctoral candidate at the University of Oxford. I previously attended the Yale School of Public Health and earned a Master of Public Health in Health Policy with a concentration in Global Health. I also hold two Bachelors degrees - a B.A. in political science and a B.A. in biology - from Vassar College. I have been a tutor for twelve years and enjoy teaching very much. I have taught both graduate and undergraduate level courses at Yale as well as multiple courses at Oxford. Some of my favorite activities include traveling, dancing (classical ballet, pointe), and playing baseball.
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.
Most ACT Math questions reward quick recognition over deep calculation — and Vivian, who scored a 36 composite, teaches students to identify which of the 60 problems are algebra in disguise and which actually require trig or coordinate geometry knowledge. Her approach emphasizes eliminating answer choices strategically on the harder back-third items while building enough speed on the routine ones to bank time. Rated 4.9 by students.
Scoring a 36 ACT composite gave Sharan firsthand insight into the math section's quirks — questions that look complicated but collapse once you spot the right property of exponents or the shortcut through a system of equations. She teaches students to identify question types quickly and apply efficient strategies, especially on the later problems where time pressure is fiercest.
Scoring a 33 ACT composite, Justin knows the math section's particular challenge: it's not that any single problem is hard, but that 60 questions in 60 minutes leaves zero room for hesitation. He teaches students to classify problems on sight — coordinate geometry, matrix operations, logarithm properties — and match each type to a fast solution path. His PhD in Computational Mathematics means he can also dig deeper when a student's underlying algebra or trig foundations need reinforcing.
I'm not tutoring, I love walking through New York for design inspiration and taking carpentry, metalworking, and illustration classes.
The ACT Math section covers a wide spread from pre-algebra through trigonometry, but the real challenge is pacing — 60 questions in 60 minutes leaves no room for getting stuck. Dana, who earned a 36 composite, teaches students to triage problems by difficulty and use strategic shortcuts on coordinate geometry and systems of equations. Her approach turns the time constraint from a source of panic into a manageable rhythm.
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.
A year as a course assistant in Harvard's math department gave Richard a deep bench of ways to explain concepts when the first approach doesn't click. On ACT Math, he zeroes in on the topics that appear most frequently in the 50s and 60s — coordinate geometry, trigonometric identities, matrices, and logarithms — where most students leave points on the table. His 36 composite confirms he can execute under the test's tight time pressure.
I am currently interviewing for medical school for matriculation in August 2017.
Scoring high on ACT Math isn't about knowing advanced calculus — it's about quickly identifying which of the 60 questions are algebra in disguise and which require genuine trig or coordinate geometry. Robert, who earned a 36 composite, teaches students to categorize problems on sight and apply efficient shortcuts for the most time-consuming question formats. That strategic layer is often the difference between a 28 and a 33.
The ACT Math section covers everything from coordinate geometry to logarithms in 60 minutes — so speed matters as much as accuracy. Yocheved, who earned a 34 ACT composite, teaches students to recognize which formula a problem is really asking for and how to eliminate answer choices before solving.
I'm a recent graduate from the University of Pennsylvania who studied Linguistics and Deaf Studies. I eventually hope to work towards breaking down barriers between the Deaf and hearing worlds and encouraging greater focus on reforming Deaf education practices.
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
Scoring well on ACT Math isn't about knowing advanced topics — it's about solving 60 questions in 60 minutes without getting stuck. Aaron earned a 36 composite and teaches students to recognize problem types on sight, particularly the coordinate geometry and trigonometry questions that tend to slow people down in the final third of the section.
Scoring well on ACT Math means handling 60 questions in 60 minutes, so speed matters as much as accuracy — especially on the algebra and coordinate geometry problems that make up the bulk of the test. Michelle teaches students to identify which problems to solve quickly, which to set up strategically, and which to skip and return to. Her 35 ACT composite and her experience across algebra and calculus give her a clear sense of where students lose the most points.
Most students don't realize the ACT Math section is heavily front-loaded with algebra and proportional reasoning — the kind of problems where a small conceptual gap leads to a cascade of wrong answers. Grace, who scored a 35 ACT composite, teaches students to spot those gaps early and lock in the first 40 questions quickly, saving real time for the trickier trig and coordinate geometry at the end.
Scoring well on ACT Math means handling everything from pre-algebra ratios to trigonometric identities within a single 60-minute sprint. Grace earned a 35 ACT composite and breaks the math section into targetable skill clusters, so students spend their prep time on the specific question types — coordinate geometry, logarithms, matrices — that will move their score the most.
Scoring a 35 ACT composite required Shachi to master the math section's particular quirks, like the way it buries coordinate geometry and matrix problems in the final fifteen questions. She walks students through pacing strategies that ensure they bank easy points early and still have time to wrestle with the harder trigonometry and logarithm questions at the end.
I am originally from Alabama and graduated from Birmingham-Southern College with a BA in English Language and Literature. Immediately after undergrad, I relocated to New York City to pursue my law degree at Fordham University. After earning my Juris Doctor and passing the NY bar exam, I worked for five years as a litigator in New York. In 2009, I took the opportunity to fulfill a lifetime dream to live abroad and moved to South America. Upon arriving in Chile, I worked as an ESL teacher for children and adults as well as an editor of investment research and corporate trainer. I love language and am passionate about helping others learn to speak, write and read in a more effective way. Language is a tool, and I truly believe anyone can learn to use it better. I'm excited to be back in the US and eager to work with motivated students.
Finance majors live in algebra, probability, and data interpretation — the same skill set that covers roughly two-thirds of ACT Math questions — so Vansh can teach the underlying logic behind each problem type rather than just drilling formulas. His 35 ACT composite means he's personally navigated the pacing pressure of the 60-question section and knows which shortcuts actually hold up under time constraints. Rated 4.8 by students.
I'm a recent Stanford graduate (Electrical Engineering and Computer Science), and have been working at a major Management Consulting firm for a few years now. I personally scored a 2360 (out of 2400) on the SAT and 35 on the ACT and was successful in gaining admission to several top universities. I'm looking forward to helping you improve your scores towards improving your chances at getting in to your dream school.
I'm Sam! I am a sophomore at Cornell University where I study the world of labor and employment and work as a volunteer EMT. I am motivated to help students learn new things and overcome challenging obstacles. I have experience tutoring, working with kids in one-on-one and group settings, and I am dedicated, patient, and creative.
Hi! My name is Alexandra, and I am a Princeton University Neuroscience major with 5+ years of tutoring experience. I specialize in SAT/ACT/PSAT prep and have successfully taught topics ranging from computer science and basic sciences to elementary reading and writing and college essay writing. In high school, I scored a perfect 36 on the ACT on my first attempt, a perfect 1520 on the PSAT/NMSQT, won "finalist" status in the National Merit Scholarship competition, and was a medalist in the New York Science Olympiad. As an undergraduate at the top-ranked university, I focus specifically on standardized test preparation, including the SAT, ACT, and PSAT. I have an understanding of the structure and timing of the exams and the strategic approaches that are required to achieve top scores. I have successfully supported students in improving their performance through individualized study plans because I understand that not all students can use the same approaches to succeed. My approach emphasizes effective time management and a mastery of recurring question types. Outside of college test preparation, I have tutored students ages 5 to 17 in a variety of topics. A common teaching approach I use is to introduce new concepts with example problems that we work through together. I then explain each strategy and help the student through another problem, encouraging them to explain their thinking step by step. Finally, I let the student tackle a problem independently. Once a student can articulate why a method works, they are truly ready to apply it on their own. While this method suits many students, I understand that everyone learns differently and pride myself on being adaptable within and outside of lessons.
I am a graduate of Yale University, where I studied Political Science with Urban Studies, wrote and edited for a monthly magazine, and worked at the Yale University Art Gallery. I spent the last year as a Fulbright Teaching Fellow in Bogota, Colombia.
Most ACT Math questions boil down to algebra and proportional reasoning dressed up in unfamiliar contexts — and Mo's finance degree trained him to cut through exactly that kind of noise to find the calculation underneath. He scored a 35 ACT composite and teaches students a triage system for the 60-question section: lock in the straightforward pre-algebra and geometry points first, then allocate remaining time to the trig and matrix items that separate a 30 from a 34. Rated 4.9 by students.
I'm working towards my PhD in Marine Science at Stony Brook University (NY), doing research in the field of marine biogeochemistry. That's a bit of a mouthful, but basically it means I study the way living things interact with the chemistry of the ocean, and how that interaction gets recorded in mud and rock. Based on this expertise, I enjoy tutoring in general science, chemistry, and earth science.
One thing that trips students up on ACT Math is the sheer range: the test jumps from basic proportions to trigonometric identities within the same section. Emma, a Harvard neurobiology graduate who minored in economics, tackles this by teaching students to identify which of the 60 questions deserve their time and which to flag and revisit. Her structured pacing strategy is especially effective for students scoring in the mid-20s who want to break into the 30s.
Scoring a 35 ACT composite with a physics and math background, Matthew treats the ACT Math section as a speed puzzle — identifying which of the 60 questions deserve full work and which can be solved in under 30 seconds with the right shortcut. He drills students on the coordinate geometry, trigonometry, and logarithm problems that tend to cluster in the final 15 questions, where most of the score separation happens.
Scoring well on ACT Math isn't just about knowing algebra and geometry — it's about recognizing which tool to grab in under a minute per question. Danyaal earned a 35 ACT composite and approaches the math section as a pattern-recognition exercise, teaching students to identify problem types quickly and avoid the traps built into later questions. He's particularly sharp on coordinate geometry and trigonometry, where most points are lost.
Most ACT Math questions below #40 test algebra and proportional reasoning that Carmen has drilled across years of tutoring subjects from elementary math through pre-calculus and trigonometry — she knows which foundational gaps cause students to stumble on problems that should be quick points. Her 35 ACT composite backs up that content knowledge, and her literature training gives her an unusual edge on the word-heavy setups where students waste time misreading what's actually being asked.
I'm a graduate of Columbia College Chicago; after exploring many fields of interest (writing, linguistics, computer science, and more), I completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Fashion Design graduating Cum Laude.
Scoring a 35 ACT composite means Chelsey performed strongly across every section, math included. She approaches ACT Math by identifying the specific question types — coordinate geometry, probability, trigonometry basics — that trip students up most, then drilling the underlying concepts until the patterns become second nature on test day.
I am ready to help all students by answering their questions and frequently addressing some questions to them....
Most students don't realize the ACT Math section front-loads questions that rely on pre-algebra and basic algebra — skills Amanda has drilled with elementary and middle school students, where building that numerical fluency from scratch is the whole job. Her 35 ACT composite means she's also comfortable with the trickier geometry and trig items near the end, and she teaches a straightforward triage approach: lock in the early points fast, then spend real time on the problems that actually require it. Rated 5.0 by students.
Philosophy majors spend their days pulling apart arguments and spotting logical structure — skills Nicolas applies to the ACT Math section by teaching students to decode what each problem is actually asking before they touch their calculator. His 35 ACT composite means he's navigated the full difficulty curve from the early pre-algebra items to the trig and matrix questions at the end, and he shows students how to allocate their 60 minutes so they're not rushing the problems they can solve.
Scoring a 34 ACT composite means Melody knows the math section's particular pressure points: the time crunch, the jump in difficulty around question 40, and the coordinate geometry and trigonometry concepts that separate good scores from great ones. She teaches pacing strategies alongside the actual math so students aren't just prepared — they're efficient.
I am currently pursuing my Masters in Public Health at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health. I received my B.A. in Psychology and Environmental Studies at Wesleyan University. In high school, I was selected by my teachers to tutor classmates in Chemistry, Physics, and Geometry. I helped students with homework problems and with test preparation (both for in-class exams and for the SAT Subject Tests). As an undergraduate, I was a teaching assistant for introductory Russian, and worked with students both in group and in individual sessions.

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 practice. Many students improve by 2-4 points on the composite ACT, with some seeing even larger jumps in specific math sections. The key is identifying your weak areas—whether that's algebra, geometry, or test-taking pacing—and targeting those through focused practice and personalized instruction.
The ACT Math section gives you 60 minutes for 60 questions, which means you need to average one minute per problem—a pace that trips up many students. The real challenge isn't just speed; it's knowing which problems to tackle first, which to skip strategically, and how to avoid getting stuck on difficult questions. Tutors help you develop a personalized pacing strategy and practice the decision-making skills that let you maximize your score within the time limit.
The best way is to take a full-length practice test under timed conditions, then analyze which question types and topics you missed most. ACT Math covers algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and data interpretation, and most students find they're stronger in some areas than others. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who review your practice tests to identify patterns in your mistakes—whether you're misunderstanding concepts, making careless errors, or running out of time—so you can focus your study time where it matters most.
Your first session is all about assessment and planning. Tutors will review your ACT Math background, look at any practice tests or previous scores you have, and understand your goals and timeline. From there, they'll create a personalized study plan that targets your specific weak areas, establishes a realistic practice schedule, and breaks down the math concepts and test-taking strategies you need to master.
Most students benefit from taking 3-5 full-length practice tests spaced throughout their study period, with at least one every 2-3 weeks. The first test gives you a baseline; middle tests help you track progress and adjust your strategy; the final test builds confidence and familiarity with the real format. Between full tests, focused practice on specific math topics and timed drills on individual question types keeps your skills sharp without burnout.
Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or unsure of your strategy—tutoring directly addresses both. When you work with a tutor to master the math content, understand question formats, and practice under realistic time pressure, you build genuine confidence rather than just hoping for the best. Tutors also teach you concrete strategies for staying calm during the test, like when to skip a problem, how to check your work efficiently, and how to manage the mental fatigue that comes with 60 minutes of focused math.
Varsity Tutors matches you with expert tutors who specialize in ACT Math and understand the needs of Bronx students preparing for test day. You'll work through a simple process to describe your goals, availability, and learning style, and then get connected with a tutor who fits your needs. Whether you need intensive prep over a few weeks or ongoing support over several months, tutors offer flexible scheduling to work around your school and extracurricular commitments.
A typical study schedule involves 5-8 hours per week over 8-12 weeks leading up to test day, though this varies based on your starting score and target score. If you're aiming for a significant improvement, more intensive prep—10+ hours weekly—might be necessary. Your tutor will help you create a realistic schedule that balances ACT Math study with your other classes and commitments, breaking study sessions into focused 60-90 minute blocks where you tackle specific topics or practice problems.
