Angela
Certified ACT Math Tutor
Angela
Current Undergrad, Environmental Science Northeastern University
1+ Years Tutoring

Angela's approach to ACT Math zeroes in on the topics that appear most frequently — coordinate geometry, trigonometric ratios, and probability — so students spend their prep time where it actually moves their score. With a 33 ACT composite and coursework in environmental science that demands constant quantitative reasoning, she explains concepts through quick, logical setups rather than brute-force memorization. She's rated 5.0 across her students.

Antonia
BA University of Washington
1+ Years Tutoring

Antonia covers ACT Math from the pre-algebra concepts that show up more often than students expect all the way through the coordinate geometry and trigonometry questions that separate a 30 from a 34. She teaches students to identify which formula or shortcut each problem is really testing, since the ACT often buries straightforward math inside unfamiliar wording. Her math tutoring spans elementary through SAT-level, so she can quickly pinpoint and fill the specific gaps holding a score back.

Dennis
BA Princeton University
9+ Years Tutoring

Research in astrophysics and optical engineering means Dennis spends his days doing math that's orders of magnitude harder than anything on the ACT — so the algebra, trigonometry, and coordinate geometry across all 60 questions feel like second nature to him. He teaches students to read each problem for what it's actually asking, cutting through the extra wording that turns a simple calculation into a time sink. His 36 ACT composite and 4.7 rating back up the approach.

Rahul
BS Cornell University
6+ Years Tutoring

I am a recent graduate of Cornell University, where I received a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and graduated Magna Cum Laude. Over the past several years, I have worked with students from diverse backgrounds and experiences tutoring thermodynamics (my personal favorite), chemistry, and math. I have also tutored in the past for ACT/SAT and other subjects such as history, but I am deeply passionate about science and engineering. I tend to push my students to understand conceptual topics, as opposed to rote or algorithmic learning. In my free time, I love to bake sourdough, learn about history, garden, and recently started biking again.

Sreya
BA University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
6+ Years Tutoring

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.

Kevin
BA Case Western Reserve University
7+ Years Tutoring

Mechanical engineering at Case Western means Kevin solves problems all day where algebra, trigonometry, and applied math aren't optional — they're the entire job. That instinct for picking the most efficient solution path is exactly what the ACT Math section rewards across its 60 questions, especially on the geometry and functions items where a shortcut can save a minute. His 36 ACT composite and 4.8 rating back up the approach.

Yash
BA Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus
5+ Years Tutoring

I am a sophomore at the Georgia Institute of Technology and am working towards a major in Computer Engineering. I have been tutoring students of all ages and backgrounds in various math topics ranging from elementary school math to AP Calculus throughout high school. I love teaching math and always find it amazing to watch my students grow and improve in their mathematical abilities. While helping students with standardized testing, we go through several tricks and tactics that have helped my students succeed and have fun in the process. I am also well versed in Physics and have spent 3 years taking the highest levels of physics courses. I love playing all sports (especially soccer) and enjoy playing the guitar in my free time as well.

Edward
BA University
1+ Years Tutoring

Chemical engineering at Michigan means Edward solves problems daily where algebra, trig, and unit conversions aren't textbook exercises — they're how you size a heat exchanger or model fluid flow. That applied math instinct, paired with a 36 ACT composite, lets him show students the fastest way to decode each of the 60 questions rather than grinding through every calculation from scratch. Rated 4.8 by students.

Emily
BA Indiana University-Bloomington • Doctor of Medicine, Community Health and Preventive Medicine Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis
8+ Years Tutoring

Scoring a 35 ACT composite means Emily knows how the math section tests concepts — it's less about advanced formulas and more about recognizing which tool to apply under time pressure, whether that's coordinate geometry, probability, or trigonometric identities. She breaks down each problem type so students learn to spot what's being asked before they start calculating. Rated 5.0 by students.

Vansh
BA Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus
9+ Years Tutoring

Scoring a 36 composite on the ACT, Vansh treats the Math section as a speed-and-strategy challenge as much as a content test. He identifies which of the 60 questions are disguised algebra, which are coordinate geometry, and which are trigonometry traps — then teaches the shortcuts that keep pacing on track without sacrificing accuracy.

Richard
BA Harvard University
1+ Years Tutoring

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.
