Earning a 36 ACT composite, Eric approaches the Math section as a pacing and pattern-recognition challenge as much as a content test. The first 40 questions reward speed and accuracy on pre-algebra through coordinate geometry, while the final 20 demand quick thinking on trigonometry and matrices — and he teaches students to shift gears between those two phases deliberately. His method turns the 60-minute time crunch from a source of panic into a manageable strategy.

After scoring a 36 ACT composite, Sreya reverse-engineered the Math section into the handful of concept clusters that appear most often — coordinate geometry, logarithmic and trigonometric identities, and probability. She teaches each cluster with timed mini-sets so students build both accuracy and the speed needed to reach the final ten questions with confidence.
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.
Earning a 35 ACT composite, Anusha knows exactly where the ACT Math section gets tricky — especially in the later questions involving matrices, logarithms, and coordinate geometry that many students haven't seen in class yet. She teaches targeted shortcuts for those high-value problems while shoring up the algebra and trig fundamentals that make the first 40 questions fast and reliable.
Most ACT Math questions test algebra and functions concepts that strong English students already use intuitively — proportional reasoning, pattern recognition, translating words into equations — they just need someone to make that connection explicit. Sophia earned a 36 ACT composite and tutors both calculus and algebra alongside her English work at Yale, so she bridges the gap between 'I get it conceptually' and 'I can execute it in under a minute per question.' That cross-disciplinary fluency is especially useful for the word-heavy problems in the middle of the section where reading precision matters as much as math skill.
Scoring a 35 ACT composite means Mathew knows how to navigate the math section's time pressure — especially on the later questions involving matrices, logarithms, and trigonometric identities where most students lose points. He breaks each problem type into a quick decision framework: identify what's being tested, eliminate traps, and solve efficiently.
I am a current sophomore at Yale University, studying Environmental Engineering and Global Affairs. I spent four years tutoring K-12 students in reading and math, and I believe in the importance of appreciating the process of learning and mastering concepts.
I am a chemistry/math tutor with hundreds of hours teaching both subjects. What separates me from other tutors is my fantastic attention to the learning styles of different students, and my ability to attune my teaching style to each individual student. I am a big believer in letting students utilize tutoring time in the way they believe best, and I try to make myself a resource more than an instructor, which reinforces good study habits as well as lets me help the student with subject material. I will be attending the University of Michigan to major in Mathematics in the Fall.
Michigan's biology curriculum leans heavily on quantitative reasoning — biostatistics, population modeling, enzyme kinetics — which keeps Samantha fluent in the algebra, probability, and graph-reading skills that dominate the ACT Math section. Her 35 ACT composite means she's personally navigated the pacing pressure of all 60 questions, and she teaches students to identify which problem type they're looking at before picking a strategy, cutting down on the mid-problem hesitation that burns the most time.
Earning a perfect 36 ACT composite means Krisha didn't just survive the Math section's 60-questions-in-60-minutes pace — she mastered it. She teaches targeted strategies for the topics that trip students up most, like coordinate geometry, logarithms, and matrix problems, while building the time-management habits that keep easy points from slipping away.
Raveena's bioinformatics program at VCU is essentially applied math — algorithms, statistical modeling, data structures — so the algebra, probability, and function questions that dominate ACT Math are territory she navigates daily. She scored a 35 ACT composite and uses that experience to teach students how to read each problem for exactly what's being tested, cutting through the extra wording that eats up time on the 60-question sprint. Rated 4.9 by students.
Scoring a 34 ACT composite means Ajay knows how the math section tests familiar concepts in unfamiliar packaging — coordinate geometry questions that are really about slope, or probability problems buried in word-heavy setups. He teaches students to decode what each question is actually asking before touching their calculator.
Scoring a 35 ACT composite means Nishika knows exactly where the Math section tries to trip students up — especially on coordinate geometry, matrices, and the handful of trigonometry questions that separate a 30 from a 34. Her dual background in computer science and business gives her a knack for breaking multi-step word problems into clean, logical sequences.
I am a learner for life and I love sharing my knowledge with others. I have tutored middle-school students for one year and university students for two years. My focus is mainly on mathematics, chemistry, and related fields. I have degrees in both mathematics and biomedical engineering so I cover a lot of ground in the physiological sciences, computer programming, and statistics as well. Taking tests is one of my strong points and I have some killer strategies to share!
I am very excited to be a part of Varsity Tutors because it is my belief that everyone has the capability to succeed in school, even if they need a little extra help to get there. Quality education is absolutely essential in making sure a child is prepared for their future career. I love working with students and seeing them triumph over areas they were once struggling with.
Scoring a 35 ACT composite means Joyce knows exactly how the Math section tests familiar concepts under tight time pressure — it's less about advanced material and more about recognizing which tool to grab for coordinate geometry, probability, or function problems in under a minute. She teaches pacing strategies alongside content review so students stop running out of time on the back half of the test.
Pratik's 35 ACT composite came partly from treating the Math section as a pattern-matching exercise — most of the 60 questions recycle the same algebra, coordinate geometry, and trig setups in slightly different packaging, and learning to spot those templates is faster than re-deriving every solution from scratch. As a premed biology major at Cornell, he's stayed immersed in quantitative coursework (biostatistics, chemistry problem sets, physics) that keeps those core math skills sharp and ready to deploy under time pressure.
I am an undergraduate student at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor, and am pursuing a dual degree in Movement Science and Biopsychology, Cognition and Neuroscience. I hope to go to medical school and become a physician in the future. I have had previous experience working with young kids at daycares, and I love helping others.
Scoring a 34 ACT composite means Myna knows exactly where the math section tries to trip students up — especially on coordinate geometry, trigonometry, and the handful of pre-calculus questions near the end that most test-takers skip. She teaches pacing strategies alongside content so students aren't just accurate but fast enough to finish all 60 questions.
I am currently a student at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. I am working on my third year in the Bachelors of Business Administration program. Throughout my time in both college and high school I have experienced the frustration and pains of students, whether it be myself or my friends. I have always helped my friends with the subjects they struggled with (Calculus, ACT science, Economics, etc.) because I want to see them succeed. I decided to become a tutor to help others succeed as well. I teach ACT, SAT, Statistics, Economics, Business, Math, English, Environment Science, Reading, Writing, and Essay Editing. I especially enjoy teaching Essay Editing, Reading, and Writing because there is more flexibility and opportunity to add your own style into these subjects. Outside of school I enjoy playing tennis, working out, DJing and cooking.
Scoring a 33 ACT composite means Jack knows how to navigate the Math section's mix of algebra, coordinate geometry, and trigonometry under tight time constraints. He breaks down each problem type by identifying what the question is actually asking — a skill that eliminates careless mistakes on the problems students already know how to solve. Rated 4.9 by students.
I'm Anya, and I'm currently a student at the University of Michigan who's passionate about sharing my knowledge. I am outgoing and extremely patient, and I want to help you strengthen your weaknesses and enhance your strong suits. Everyone has a different approach to learning new things, and I know how to explain topics from different angles so that they are easier to understand. My favorite subjects to tutor are science, Spanish, and standardized tests, but I can cater to a variety of other areas as well.
I am very creative, enthusiastic and hard-working, which I believe to be vital characteristics to bring to a tutoring session.
I am a very strong writer, communicator, and a huge science geek. I've also spent years coaching elementary and middle school students in various sports, and have found fulfillment and success working with all age ranges.
I am an artist and journalist from Ann Arbor, MI attending Harvard College in Cambridge, MA. I'm excited to work with students in my area and online.
Her computer science background at the University of Michigan means Maansi thinks algorithmically about the ACT Math section — identifying which of the 60 questions are quick wins, which need setup, and which to strategically skip on a first pass. She teaches specific shortcuts for coordinate geometry, trigonometry, and word problems that shave seconds per question. That systematic approach helped her earn a 33 ACT composite.
Every ACT Math section follows a predictable distribution: heavy on algebra and coordinate geometry, lighter on trig and matrices. Goutham maps out which question types a student already owns and which need targeted practice, so study time goes where it actually moves the score. His University of Michigan science and economics background means the applied math and data interpretation questions are second nature to him.
Scoring a 33 ACT composite gave Griffin firsthand insight into how the Math section tests familiar concepts — linear equations, coordinate geometry, basic trig — under intense time pressure. He teaches students to identify which question types they can solve quickly and which deserve a strategic skip, turning pacing into a reliable score booster.
An engineering student who scored a 34 ACT composite, Alec knows ACT Math inside and out — from the coordinate geometry and trigonometry questions that dominate the back half to the pacing strategy needed to actually finish all 60 questions. He pinpoints exactly where a student's time is being lost and builds targeted drills around those weak spots.
I am an excellent resource for students of all ages!
I'm Gurbani, and I am a current fourth-year medical student that would love to give back to other students and help them get into a position like I am today.
Timing is the hidden challenge on ACT Math: students often know the content but can't finish 60 questions in 60 minutes. Alexandra teaches efficient approaches to the algebra, coordinate geometry, and trigonometry problems that dominate the second half of the test, where most points are lost. With a 33 ACT composite and deep experience across every level of math, she pinpoints which content gaps to close first for the biggest score jump.
I'm a recent graduate from Reed College where I majored in Political science with additional concentrations in environmental science, sociology, philosophy, and 3D art.
Scoring well on ACT Math means moving fast through 60 questions that span pre-algebra to trigonometry — and knowing which problems deserve full work versus a shortcut. Shreeman earned a 33 ACT composite and, as a biomedical engineering graduate, has deep comfort with every topic the test covers. He teaches students to recognize problem types on sight and match each one to the fastest solution path.
I am a current Senior at the University of Michigan studying Financial Mathematics. I have tutored professionally for 2 years as well as independently for 3 years. I am tutoring math as well as basic C++. My teaching philosophy is to teach you how to learn rather than give you the answer. Outside of tutoring I love snowboarding, traveling, photography, and reading.
Scoring a 33 ACT composite, Sarnath knows firsthand which math topics the test leans on hardest — coordinate geometry, trigonometric identities, and probability questions that reward careful setup over speed. He teaches students to recognize question types quickly and choose the most efficient path to an answer, which is often the difference between finishing on time and running out of it.
The ACT Math section throws algebra, geometry, and trigonometry at students in rapid succession, and knowing the content isn't enough — pacing matters just as much. Kirby scored a 32 ACT composite and teaches students to recognize which problem types deserve full attention and which ones have shortcuts built into the answer choices.
I am a senior at the University of Michigan, in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts pursuing a B.S. in Biochemistry. As a student, I have a well-rounded academic history with interest in a range of different subject areas including: history, English, writing, math, science, and computer skills. My goal as a tutor is to help you learn the material and have some fun while doing it. As such, I am flexible with schedules and platforms (online vs in-person) and am available Monday-Friday afternoon/ evenings and possibly some weekend times upon request\*. Furthermore, I am also flexible with content/styles of sessions and can change the focus or style (ie: content review, homework help, general conceptual lectures, etc) accordingly to meet individual needs. Outside of academia I enjoy camping, hiking, reading (books and science papers), playing video games, and watching sports (basketball and football). I also have experience in assisting people with "mental blocks", testing anxiety, and related feelings of academic failure. I am open to sharing both my personal experience through my academic journey as well as hearing yours and offering advice if so desired. At the end of the day, I love to learn and it brings me happiness to be able to help others have that same feeling of success in academics. Whether you need more lecturing, problem solving help, mentoring, etc. I will do my best to cater to your specific learning needs. I look forward to working with you!
I am a lifelong learner interested in inspiring others to cultivate a similar drive. I look forward to meeting with you!
I am a recent University of Michigan graduate with a Bachelor's in Industrial and Operations Engineering. I enjoy teaching people of all ages, and am particularly strong within SAT/ACT test prep, algebra/geometry/pre-calc, calculus 1, and reading/writing.
