Certified ACT Math Tutor
Dana
BA Brown University
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Vivian

5+ Years Tutoring

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.

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.

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.

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.

Alexandra
AB Princeton University

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.
