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.

Scoring a 35 on the ACT means Tyler knows the math section's particular pressure: 60 questions in 60 minutes leaves no room for getting stuck. He teaches students to sort problems by type — coordinate geometry, matrices, trigonometric identities — and to recognize which ones deserve full work and which ones can be solved in under 30 seconds with the right shortcut.
Pacing is everything on ACT Math — the jump from question 40 to question 60 is where most students lose points on coordinate geometry, trigonometry, and probability. Jennifer scored a 35 ACT composite and teaches a triage strategy that identifies which harder problems are worth the time and which to skip strategically. Her comfort with math through calculus means she can break down even the trickiest problems into familiar steps.
I'm always up for the challenge of changing my methods of instruction and breaking down topics to foster a deeper understanding of a subject. On a different note, I generally spend my spare time playing lacrosse or running outdoors when possible. I also play the violin with a school quartet, and teach lessons to beginning students working through the Suzuki program.
I am a Biotechnology Master's Student at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zurich. I completed my undergraduate degree in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from Georgia Tech in 2018 while minoring in Biomedical Engineering. My passion is researching novel ways to use ethically derived induced pluripotent stem cells in both research and therapeutic environments, and I love to share my knowledge and excitement for science, math, and language with others.
Scoring a 34 ACT composite, Marion knows that ACT Math rewards speed and pattern recognition across a wide spread of topics, from coordinate geometry to logarithms to probability. She breaks the 60-question gauntlet into difficulty tiers so students learn which problems to solve quickly, which to set up strategically, and which to skip and return to — a pacing approach that often unlocks several extra points.
I am currently a graduate student at Georgia Tech studying Prosthetics and Orthotics. My career goal is to become a certified prosthetist/orthotist, which means I would make and fit artificial limbs (prostheses) to patients who need them as well as make and fit assistive devices that support existing body parts (orthoses) to treat various conditions.
I am an undergraduate at Rice University in Houston pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. I have both formal and informal tutoring experience: I worked as an assistant teacher in my high school's math department in Atlanta teaching geometry, algebra and pre-calculus to students over the summer. As an Academic Fellow at Rice, I provide academic assistance to my peers in the natural sciences, specifically chemistry and biochemistry. Although my studies are focused in STEM, I am a strong writer and I excel in helping students improve grammar and essay organization. Additionally, I have abundant experience in both standardized and AP testing. I am a friendly and empathetic person, and I want to do whatever I can to help other students succeed!
I'm Adel, a native of Atlanta, GA and graduate of Georgia Tech. I love playing basketball, football, eating all kinds of great food, catching the newest movie or new TV show and most of all, hanging out with my friends and family. I have been tutoring since my freshmen year in college a variety of subjects including Mathematics, English and Science. With my youngest brother in high school and my youngest sister in elementary school, I have constant exposure to different levels and types of academic subjects.
I'm Thomas, a sophomore Computer Science student at Georgia Tech. While I may be a STEM major at a tech school, I've always been skilled in reading and writing, never earning less than A in an English class throughout my academic career. If you're looking for someone with a high success rate in English, whether it be standardized testing or general writing, you're in the right place. In high school, I received a perfect score on the SAT writing section (only missed perfect on Verbal by 10 points), won first place in the UIL Regional Ready Writing Contest, and served as an editor on the school newspaper. While completing my university English requirement, I created an online tour stop for Atlanta's National Center for Civil and Human Rights.
Yilin's psychology and chemistry double major means she's comfortable on both sides of the ACT Math section — the data interpretation and probability questions that lean scientific, and the algebra and functions problems that require methodical reasoning. She scored a 34 ACT composite and, rated 5.0 by students, teaches a deliberate process for eliminating trap answers on the tricky mid-section items where most points get left behind.
The ACT Math section covers everything from pre-algebra ratios to trigonometric identities, and time pressure is the real obstacle for most students. Emily's own jump to a 33 composite came partly from learning which question types to attack first and which to flag, and she shares those pacing strategies alongside the actual math content.
Speed kills on ACT Math, where 60 questions in 60 minutes means students need shortcuts for coordinate geometry, trigonometric identities, and probability problems they might otherwise solve the long way. Andrew's 35 ACT composite came from building exactly those shortcuts, and he teaches students to recognize which approach a question is really asking for before they start calculating.
The ACT Math section throws 60 questions across algebra, geometry, and trigonometry in just 60 minutes, so pacing matters as much as knowledge. Jessica earned a 35 composite and breaks down each problem type by difficulty tier, teaching students which questions to attack first and where to avoid common calculation traps.
A chemical engineering background means Kellie has solved thousands of math problems under pressure, from algebra and trig through calculus and beyond. She applies that depth to ACT Math by identifying which of the 60 questions are quick wins and which demand careful setup — a pacing strategy that pairs well with her 34 composite score. Students learn to recognize problem types on sight so they spend time solving, not decoding.
I'm a Civil Engineering major, Sustainable Communities minor at Georgia Tech heading into my second year this fall. I love tutoring most subject, ranging from US Government to Algebra. In the past, the subjects that I have tutored the most are AP US Government and Reading. My tutoring method changes depending on the student, but I love to ask questions and make comparisons to other topics to provide a multidisciplinary understanding and make connections. My philosophy is to avoid memorization and promote understanding! I feel that students have more fun this way and will be better equipped to apply this information to their lives. Outside of the classroom, I am an avid Georgia Tech football fan (we're getting better, I promise!), traveler, and recycler!
I am a recent graduate of the University of Alabama, where I got my Bachelor of Arts in Communications, and majored in public relations and English. I recently moved to the Atlanta area to begin an exciting job as a digital media specialist! I have six years of tutoring experience, especially in English, grammar, writing, general study skills, and essay planning.
I'm Ryan, and I'm dedicated to empowering you and your words as much as possible. I even got an English degree from Davidson College to back it up. I've also worked as a College Advisor, so I have experience filling out hundreds of FAFSAs and college applications, editing quite a bit of last-minute essays, and assisting students in the best strategies for the ACT/SAT. I hope to help you present and uncover all your truths!
Between his finance coursework and strong math background, Victor tackles ACT Math by teaching students to identify which concept each problem is actually testing — whether it's coordinate geometry, trigonometric identities, or probability. His 32 ACT composite came from a disciplined, strategic approach to pacing and problem selection that he now passes along to his students.
Nuclear engineering at Georgia Tech means Corey lives in calculus and advanced math daily, but he's also dialed into the pre-algebra through trigonometry range that the ACT tests — and his 33 composite proves he knows how to perform under that specific time pressure. He breaks the 60-question section into tiers, teaching students which problems to attack immediately and which setups signal a time trap worth skipping and revisiting.
Industrial engineering at Georgia Tech is essentially applied math — optimization, probability, statistical modeling — so Rodrigo works through ACT Math content with the kind of fluency that makes the algebra and geometry questions feel routine rather than stressful. He scored a 32 ACT composite and, rated 5.0 by students, emphasizes quick problem setups and eliminating trap answers so students can maintain momentum across all 60 questions.
I am a 4th year medical student who has been tutoring since college. I love working with people and teaching students. I have a strong background in the sciences and look forward to helping make science easy for everyone. I look forward to working with you.
I'm Olivia, and I'm excited to be considered as your tutor. I primarily tutor French at all levels. In addition to my language education from a young age, working and studying in France and Belgium helped me attain fluency in French.
I am excited to be back in Atlanta and continuing to work with students!
I am a graduate of the College of William and Mary, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with a Public Health minor, Magna Cum Laude. I served as a both an undergraduate Teaching Assistant for an upper level public health course and a College Applicant mentor for a local high school throughout my time in college. I am passionate about helping students of all ages and abilities reach their full potential!
I am currently the Editor-in-Chief of Crit, the Journal of the American Institute of Architecture Students, a national peer-reviewed publication in which high school, college, and graduate students publish their written and design work. I also work as a college essay editor for an educational consultant based in Philadelphia. I am preparing applications to dual-degree graduate programs in city planning and law.
I am double majoring in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology and Philosophy at Emory University. I genuinely enjoy working with students to achieve their academic goals. I have experience teaching children and adolescents language skills, science, and math. In my free time, I can mostly be found outside hiking, running, or doing yoga.
Scoring well on ACT Math means handling everything from pre-algebra ratios to trigonometric identities within a single 60-minute sprint. Ethan's approach is triage-based: he teaches students to categorize each problem's difficulty on sight so they bank easy points first and spend remaining time on the harder coordinate geometry and matrix questions. With a 35 ACT composite and a science major's comfort with quantitative reasoning, he makes the pacing strategy feel natural.
Having taken college-level Calculus 1, 2, 3, and linear algebra before finishing high school, Jackson finds the ACT Math section's trickiest problems — coordinate geometry, matrices, logarithms — straightforward rather than intimidating. He teaches students to recognize which concept each question is really testing, cutting through the ACT's tendency to disguise simple math in complicated wording. His 35 composite and 5.0 student rating speak to the results.
Scoring high on ACT Math isn't about knowing advanced topics — it's about executing algebra, coordinate geometry, and trigonometry quickly and without careless errors under a tight 60-minute clock. Burhanuddin's 35 ACT composite and his background as a Georgia Tech physics major mean he can show students the fastest path through each problem type, from matrix questions to logarithm properties to unit-circle trig. He's rated 5.0 by students.
The ACT Math section covers everything from pre-algebra ratios to trigonometric identities in 60 minutes, so pacing and pattern recognition matter as much as raw math skill. Varshini's 34 ACT composite and her math minor at UAB mean she knows both the content and the test — which problem types to solve quickly, which ones deserve extra time, and where the common traps hide in coordinate geometry and function questions.
Most ACT Math questions test concepts students have already seen in class — the challenge is executing them cleanly under a one-minute-per-problem pace. Paula, who scored a 32 ACT composite and holds a 4.8 rating, zeroes in on the translation step that trips people up: reading a problem, identifying which algebra or geometry tool applies, and moving on without second-guessing. Her broad tutoring background across math levels means she can quickly spot whether a missed question is a content gap or a test-taking habit to fix.
Chris is studying Computer Science and Education at Cornell's College of Engineering — a combination that means he thinks about math both as a practitioner and as someone training to teach it. That dual lens is especially useful on ACT Math, where he breaks down the algebra, geometry, and trig questions into systematic decision trees that help students work faster through all 60 problems. His 35 ACT composite and 5.0 tutoring rating back up the approach.
I am continuing to add to my range of subjects that I teach.
I am a current undergraduate student at the University of Georgia who has a passion for passing on what he has learned.
Morgan's 34 ACT composite came partly from knowing which math concepts the test leans on hardest — the algebra, proportional reasoning, and coordinate geometry that fill the first 40-odd questions before the trig kicks in. Studying English lit at WashU might seem unrelated, but parsing dense word problems is essentially close reading, and Morgan treats those setup-heavy questions as translation exercises: strip the paragraph down, find the equation hiding inside, solve. Rated 5.0 by students.
I am a current senior at Davidson College, working towards my B.A. in German Studies and Arab Studies. I have spent many hours tutoring the German and Arabic language to college students. I have spent time abroad in Germany, studying German as a second language with AATG (American Association of Teachers of German). My years of being a camp counselor and babysitter have translated into my teaching methods and style. I encourage young learners to approach problems in multiple ways by retesting previously learned material and encouraging independent thinking. I am a huge believer in discovering answers instead of being told them. I look forward to working with you!
Scoring a 34 ACT composite required Megan to perform under the Math section's notoriously tight time constraints, and she teaches the same efficiency to her students. She zeroes in on the topics that appear most frequently — coordinate geometry, trigonometric identities, and logarithmic properties — and shows how to recognize what a question is really asking before committing to a solution path.
Scoring well on ACT Math means handling 60 questions in 60 minutes, so speed matters as much as knowledge. Josh, who earned a 32 ACT composite, teaches students to triage — identifying which algebra, coordinate geometry, and trigonometry problems to solve quickly and which to strategically skip and revisit. That pacing discipline, combined with targeted practice on the pre-calculus concepts that dominate the last 15 questions, consistently moves scores upward.
I am committed to empowering my students and supporting their academic and personal growth. I believe the foundation to successful tutoring to be a mutually trusting and accommodating relationship; thus, I am a firm believer of individualized lesson plans that play to the unique strengths and weaknesses of each student.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and the time you invest. Students typically see gains of 2-5 points on the ACT Math section (which is scored 1-36) within 8-12 weeks of consistent tutoring, though individual results vary. The most significant improvements often come from targeted work on your specific weak areas—whether that's algebra, geometry, or test-taking pacing—rather than broad review of all content.
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who specialize in ACT Math and can diagnose exactly which concepts or strategies are holding you back, then create a personalized study plan to address those gaps.
The ACT Math section gives you 60 minutes for 60 questions, so pacing is critical. Many students lose points not because they can't solve the problems, but because they rush or get stuck on difficult questions and run out of time. Effective strategies include: working through easier problems first to build confidence and points, flagging harder questions to return to later, and practicing mental math to avoid calculator dependency on every problem.
A tutor can help you develop a pacing strategy tailored to your strengths, teach you to quickly identify question difficulty, and build fluency with common problem types so you work faster on test day.
Atlanta students preparing for the ACT often find these topics most challenging: word problems that require translating English into equations, geometry and trigonometry concepts, rational expressions and logarithms, and problems combining multiple skills. Many students also struggle less with content and more with question format—the ACT asks you to think differently than classroom tests, requiring flexibility in how you approach problems.
The best approach is taking a practice test early to identify your specific problem areas, then working with a tutor who can address those gaps rather than reviewing everything. This targeted approach is much more efficient than studying broadly.
Most students benefit from taking 3-5 full practice tests, spacing them throughout their study period. Each practice test serves a different purpose: early tests help identify weak areas, middle tests let you practice implementing new strategies, and final tests build confidence and familiarize you with test-day conditions. However, quality matters more than quantity—taking five tests without analyzing what you got wrong wastes time.
Work with a tutor to create a practice test schedule that fits your timeline, then use your results to focus on the concepts and strategies that will move your score most meaningfully.
Ideally, start 8-12 weeks before your test date. This gives you enough time to identify weak areas, work through content gaps, practice problem-solving strategies, and take multiple practice tests to build confidence. If you're closer to your test date, tutoring is still valuable—even 4-6 weeks of focused work on high-impact skills can meaningfully improve your score.
Varsity Tutors can connect you with tutors available at times that work for your schedule, whether you need weekly sessions or more intensive prep as your test date approaches.
The ACT Math section tests your ability to apply math concepts in unfamiliar contexts, with heavy emphasis on word problems and multi-step thinking. Classroom math often focuses on mastering one technique at a time, while the ACT requires you to choose the right approach from your entire toolkit. Additionally, the time pressure and multiple-choice format reward different skills than traditional homework or tests.
Tutors who specialize in ACT Math understand these differences and teach you both the content and the test-specific strategies to solve problems efficiently and confidently.
Much of test anxiety comes from uncertainty—not knowing what to expect, feeling unprepared, or doubting your ability to handle pressure. Personalized tutoring builds genuine confidence by helping you master specific skills, understand question patterns, and practice under realistic test conditions. When you've solved dozens of similar problems and seen your practice test scores improve, test day feels less overwhelming.
Tutors can also teach you calming strategies specific to math anxiety, like how to approach difficult questions without panicking and how to manage your mental energy across 60 questions.
