Scoring well on ACT Math isn't about knowing advanced topics; it's about solving pre-algebra through basic trig quickly and accurately under a tight 60-minute clock. Kerr, who scored a 36 composite, teaches students to identify which problems deserve full work and which can be shortcut through estimation or back-solving. His economics and CS studies at Vanderbilt keep him fluent in the quantitative reasoning the test demands.

The ACT Math section covers everything from pre-algebra ratios to logarithms and matrices, but the real challenge is pacing — 60 questions in 60 minutes leaves zero room for getting stuck. Eileen earned a 36 ACT composite and teaches students to recognize which problems deserve full work and which can be solved by backsolving or plugging in answer choices. That triage skill alone can recover five or six questions most students lose to the clock.

I am an Undergraduate Student at Vanderbilt University. With years of tutoring experience and a solid academic foundation, I am fully equipped to teach in various subjects at many different levels.

Yale's mechanical engineering program is essentially four years of applied math under pressure — statics, dynamics, thermodynamics — which means Charles has internalized the algebra, trigonometry, and modeling skills that dominate the ACT Math section. He's particularly strong at teaching students to translate real-world word problems into clean equations, a skill that pays off on the dozen or so setup-heavy questions that separate a 30 from a 34.

I am a freshman at Vanderbilt University studying biochemistry and involved in analytical chemistry research. Despite my studies being very science oriented, I also enjoy studying English and the humanities. I'd be happy to tutor you in any of these areas!

Scoring well on ACT Math means moving quickly through 60 questions that span pre-algebra to trigonometry — so knowing when to use a shortcut matters as much as knowing the math itself. Nat earned a 35 ACT composite and majors in mathematics at Vanderbilt, giving him both test strategy and deep subject knowledge. He pinpoints which question types cost a student the most time and drills efficient approaches for each.

Scoring high on ACT Math means moving through 60 questions in 60 minutes, which leaves zero room for second-guessing coordinate geometry formulas or trigonometric identities. Michelle earned a perfect 36 ACT composite and approaches the section as a speed-and-accuracy challenge, drilling the specific question patterns — logarithms, matrices, conic sections — that trip up students in the final third of the test.

I am a student at the University of Denver! I've tutored people informally for a few years now, and I'm excited to work with Varsity. I can help with math up to pre-calculus, grammar, and especially biology. Science was my favorite subject in school!

I'm an Iowa native who moved to Nashville for graduate school. My background is in the life sciences; I have a Masters from Vanderbilt in Chemical and Physical Biology, and my undergraduate degree is in Biochemistry. However, my education has been well rounded and I have interests in philosophy, literature, writing, and history. I have extensive research experience, and I hope to share my passion for science with students. I have experience mentoring undergraduate students during my graduate school education to help them gain research experience. I am a very patient teacher and have the ability to see problems from the students perspective; my tutoring style adapts to each student's individual needs, but centers on getting each student to come to their solutions rather than following any one formula for success. I have a lot of experience with standardized testing, and have taken multiple AP subject tests in addition to the ACT, SAT, and GRE examinations.

I'm currently a senior at Vanderbilt double majoring in history and business, while also preparing for the LSAT exam. I've tutored several different subject areas, but I can make the most impact assisting students with history, reading, and writing. I believe that every student has the potential to achieve their goals, and that by helping others I can enhance my own education as well.

Rachel's math degree and 32 ACT composite mean she's worked through every problem type on the section — but what sets her apart is how naturally she connects the geometry and trigonometry questions back to the foundational algebra most students already have down. She teaches students to read the later, harder items as variations on earlier concepts, which cuts down on panic when the difficulty ramps up around question 40. Rated 4.8 by students.

Most ACT Math questions below #40 are testing concepts students already know — the issue is recognizing them under time pressure and in unfamiliar phrasing. Teo, who scored a 36 ACT composite and holds degrees in both mathematics and computer science, teaches a pattern-matching approach to the section: identify the underlying concept in seconds, execute the shortest solution path, and move on. That systematic efficiency is what turns a student who "knows the math" into one who actually finishes all 60 questions.

Most students don't realize the ACT Math section front-loads algebra and proportional reasoning questions that should be quick wins — but only if the underlying skills are automatic. Miah, who scored a 34 ACT composite and tutors everything from pre-algebra through calculus, drills students on recognizing those early problem types instantly so they bank time for the trickier geometry and trig items near the end. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am a recent graduate of Vanderbilt University where I received a BS in Human and Organizational Development. I also minored in Quantitative Methods and have a passion for statistics. I have spent time living in France and England and love to travel. My time abroad has cultivated a love of language and writing and how to use academic tools in order to create opportunities in life beyond the classroom. I am excited about helping students achieve their academic and personal goals.

I am a Chemical and Bimolecular Engineering PhD student at Vanderbilt University. I have my B.S. and M.S. in Bioengineering and have been tutoring for 3+ years. I am looking forward to tutoring you and helping in any way I can! Feel free to contact me!

Mechanical engineering at Alabama means Joshua lives in algebra, trigonometry, and applied problem-solving daily — the same core skills that make up roughly 80% of ACT Math questions. He breaks each problem into its underlying concepts first, then shows students how those pieces snap together, which builds the kind of quick recognition that matters when you're facing 60 questions in 60 minutes. His 34 ACT composite confirms he knows how to execute that approach under real test conditions.

I am a second-year student at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. I am double majoring in Cognitive Studies and Psychology with a minor in Computer Science. I have tutored high school and middle school subjects, standardized test prep, and helped students build college applications in Westchester County, NY and Fairfield County, CT. I have tutored in a range of subjects but particularly enjoy helping students gain both the skills and confidence needed to excel at essay writing. In my free time, I like to read non-fiction in a variety of subjects, SCUBA dive, and have recently taken up knitting. I look forward to helping you achieve your goals!

I'm Meredith. I am a student at Sewanee: The University of the South, where I am pursuing degrees in English and International Studies. I also am pursuing a certificate in Creative Writing. I love to read, write, and engage in anything that allows me to be creative. I have a passion for education as a student and as a teacher. I cannot wait to meet new students and provide help in any way I can!

Most ACT Math questions test concepts from algebra and geometry that students already know — the challenge is solving them in under a minute each under pressure. Lawrence, who scored a 33 ACT composite, teaches students to recognize problem types on sight and pick the fastest path to an answer, whether that's back-solving, plugging in values, or sketching a quick diagram.

I am a rising sophomore at Emory University working towards a Bachelors of Arts degree in Psychology, as well as a minor in global health, culture, and society. I tutored in multiple subject areas in high school as a peer tutor as well as a tutor to younger students in elementary and middle school. I also tutored elementary school students in multiple subject areas during my first year at Emory. I tutor in many subjects, but have always been passionate specifically about tutoring in math. I have been tutored by peers many times throughout high school and college in different subjects, including the ACT. I found unique ways to solve problems and expand my problem solving skills through this, especially because I felt as though my peers were better able to relate to me, and therefore cater to my needs as a student. My approach is catered specifically to each student by first learning how he or she best learns, and then using tactics that will benefit them the most as they learn and grow as a student.

Sixty questions in 60 minutes means ACT Math rewards pattern recognition as much as raw ability. Grant, who earned a 33 ACT composite, teaches students to sort problems by type — coordinate geometry, trigonometry, probability — and apply the fastest solution path for each. He spends particular time on the pre-calculus and logarithm questions in the 50-60 range that separate good scores from great ones.

Scoring a 34 ACT composite means Matthew handled the Math section's jump from basic algebra to trigonometry and logarithms under real test pressure. He zeroes in on the question types that trip students up most — coordinate geometry, matrix problems, and the handful of pre-calculus concepts that appear in the final ten questions — and teaches efficient strategies for each.

I am passionate about helping others learn foreign languages! I have been studying Spanish for 6 years now and am now proficient on the professional level. As a graduate with a degree in Spanish with an education licensure, I look forward to helping others understand this beautiful language better! I always look to help students reach their goals with the language whether it's reaching proficiency, keeping up the skills, or simply learning how to use the language well enough for an upcoming test. Regardless, I aim to help others understand and appreciate Spanish and other languages in general.

Earning a 34 ACT composite required Nathan to master the Math section's progression from basic algebra through trigonometry and coordinate geometry under serious time pressure. He walks students through pacing strategies and the specific concept clusters — logarithms, matrices, conic sections — that tend to separate a good score from a great one.

Marjorie scored a 34 ACT composite and holds a biology degree, which means the quantitative side of the test — ratios, probability, interpreting data-heavy word problems — overlaps with skills she uses constantly. She's particularly good at teaching students to decode what a question is actually asking before touching their calculator, a habit that eliminates most careless mistakes in the section's first 40 problems. Rated 5.0 by students.

Scoring a 33 ACT composite herself, Megan knows the math section's pacing pressure firsthand — 60 questions in 60 minutes means knowing when to set up an equation and when a quick sketch or plug-in gets you there faster. Her engineering and math background at Vanderbilt covers every topic the ACT tests, from plane geometry through matrices and logarithms.

I'm hoping to empower students to think and analyze to find their own solutions. I don't want to show them the right way to do things, but rather the right way for THEM to do things. Our brains work differently, and we find the same right answers in different ways!

Pacing is half the battle on ACT Math, where 60 questions span pre-algebra through trigonometry in just 60 minutes. William teaches students to quickly categorize each problem — coordinate geometry, probability, function notation — and apply the most efficient solution path rather than grinding through lengthy calculations. His 32 ACT composite speaks to the kind of strategic test-taking he passes on to his students.

I am a graduate of the University of Memphis. I graduated magna cum laude in English with a concentration in Literature. While being a student I was part of the Honors Mentor-ship Program where I helped incoming honors freshmen get acclimated to college life. I held weekly meetings with them and helped them from homework assignments to where they could find good food in or around campus. I will be pursuing a masters degree in the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) in the summer and hopefully one day become employed as a high school English teacher. I tutor in high school and college level English literature, writing, and grammar. Since my concentration was in literature my favorite area to tutor would be in any literature related assignment. Whether it be for reading comprehension, critical reading, or for research purposes. I believe education is very important and should not be taken for granted. The choices you make in a 4-8 year period greatly influence the rest of your life and getting a strong and well-rounded education helps set-up for future success. My spare time is generally filled with video games and reading (casual or academic) and always striving to learn new things.

I am a graduate of Swarthmore College, where I studied Quantitative Social Science and Education. I currently work in marketing analytics for higher education institutions. My skills range from writing/editing to data analysis. I would love to chat and make a plan to help you reach your goals!

I am a big sports fan so I spend a large portion of my free time playing or watching either basketball, golf or baseball.

Scoring a 32 ACT composite herself, Kira knows the Math section rewards speed and strategic thinking as much as raw skill — especially on coordinate geometry and trigonometry questions that eat up time if you don't have a plan. She teaches students to recognize question types quickly and choose the fastest path to an answer, whether that's back-solving, plugging in values, or setting up an equation. That systematic approach turns time pressure from an enemy into an advantage.

Matthew scored a 33 ACT composite and knows the Math section's pacing inside out — from the straightforward algebra questions up front to the coordinate geometry and trigonometry problems that eat up time at the end. He teaches students to recognize which problems deserve full effort and which ones to flag and return to, a strategy that consistently prevents careless mistakes under pressure.

Three civil engineering degrees mean Kunal has lived in algebra, trigonometry, and applied problem-solving long enough that the ACT Math content feels like reflex — he's especially good at showing students how to set up geometry and trig problems cleanly so the calculation practically does itself. His 34 ACT composite and 4.9 student rating back up a teaching approach built on speed and precision rather than brute-force practice.

I'm Darby! I recently graduated from the University of Birmingham with an MA in Creative Writing. In 2021, I graduated from Butler University with bachelor degrees in English (on a creative writing track) and Spanish. I also studied history as a minor and was a part of Butler's honors program. I'm currently living in Nashville.

I am a freshman at the University of Michigan working towards a major in Economics with a Minor in Data Science. I think it's important to cherish education because it can genuinely teach you different skill-sets. I've tutored all throughout high school from Kumon to volunteering. I love working with all age ranges with different subjects (my favorite being spanish, algebra, geometry, english, and reading). I think it's important to have fun while you're learning and to genuinely understand the material, not just doing homework to get it done. It is also very important to take breaks while doing homework and to make sure to take your time. Also during standardized tests, it's a hard test and sometimes pressure gets to students. It's okay to make mistakes but practicing through it is the most important part!

I am here to support and inspire you every step of the way.

Civil engineering at Georgia Tech means Kacey uses algebra, trigonometry, and coordinate geometry every day — the exact content the ACT Math section tests hardest in its final 20 questions. She scored a 32 ACT composite and teaches students the specific shortcuts and setup strategies that keep pacing tight across all 60 questions.

I'm a Nashville native. I graduated from Franklin Road Academy in 2012. While in high school I played basketball, volleyball, and softball. I was also involved in the literary magazine.
