ACT Math Tutor

I’ve been working with students since 2009 either as a one on one tutor, classroom teacher or small group instructor and I understand how math is difficult because I grew up finding math difficult for me. I love one on one tutoring because it gives me an opportunity to meet great students and with my experience learning math I can relate to their frustration and help them get through it. My interest in math started when I read about Sherlock Holmes during my middle school years and I loved the logic behind solving mysteries and connected it to solving math problems! It became fun for me to do math problems like I was solving a mystery and at that time I was doing algebra and solving for “x”. Algebra is my favorite math subject but over the years I have taught a wide range of middle and high school math subjects including geometry, trigonometry and precalculus. Read more

Behind the 4.0 GPA on my Master’s Degree transcript, you would have never thought that I had been a C student from middle school to 11th grade, then my whole studying attitude drastically changed. So what happened...? It was all because of ONE new Math teacher in Grade 12. Somehow he took interest in me, and often offered me challenges to answer difficult questions in front of all my classmates. Being put under the spotlight, no joke...he really made me think hard! I will never forget that moment of feeling of how a correct answer to a question matters. After receiving compliments for a couple of times after I had the correct answers, I felt an irresistible drive in me. I told myself - not only that I could not let myself down, also I could not let my teacher down, as he had vested his confidence in me. From that day onwards, I aimed for nothing less than straight As, and never looked back. This was how I was being brought to be the me I am today. My teacher may not have known how much he had impacted my life, but I thankfully do! He has helped me realize dreams that I may not even dare to dream before. I left home (Hong Kong) to Canada for my Undergraduate studies, and came to Atlanta for my Master’s. I have been tutoring for over 25 years, for students at different grades from middle school to Kennesaw State University level. I understand that each student is unique, and each comes with different learning experiences from previous math teachers - some may be good, while others could be bad. My mission as a teacher is to take interest in each of them, fuel them with confidence and passion in the subject, and equip them with all they need to excel further. I would not be there feeding answers to help students finish their homework assignments - which many students may eagerly hope, and which some teachers are being liked for. That would be too easy a task for me and them. Instead, I will help them build strong foundations and fundamentals, such that they could feel the pleasure and reinforcement when they are able to attain the correct answers themselves. This is the inner drive in them which I target to help them develop in my tutoring. Yes, you may say...this requires a lot of patience. But, this is where my area of forte is. I have the patience and track record of teaching both able students as well as students with Special Needs. It is just beyond imagination on how proud and satisfying it is for me to visualize my students reaching and surpassing increasingly challenging yardsticks I set for them from time to time. Trust that you would find our partnership equally fruitful and worthwhile as it has been for me. Read more

How an ACT Math Tutor Can Help

An ACT math tutor can help you study the right material so you’re prepared for the test. They will work with you to fill in any gaps in your Math knowledge from middle school or high school courses. A private ACT Math tutor can also provide you with practice questions and sample tests so you can get used to answering questions within the time limit.

When you hire an ACT tutor, you’ll still need to put in the work of studying for the exam. But a tutor can alleviate some of the stress from the exam by helping you work through practice tests and offering proven test preparation tips. 

Along with helping you overcome any challenges you’re having with the high school Math material, they can teach you the best test-taking strategies. With a tutor, you can practice using the process of elimination on multiple-choice questions to give yourself a better chance of scoring well.

How Does ACT Math Tutoring Work?

ACT Math tutoring focuses on two things: test preparation and Math review. Even if you have a good high school math teacher, you may still find certain Algebra, Trigonometry, or Pre-Calculus topics challenging. Great ACT Math tutors are experts in the subject matter and experienced teachers. 

With an ACT Math tutor, you get to work in a calm, one-on-one environment that’s conducive to learning. You can work on memorizing key theorems and formulas and improving your concentration during practice tests.

One of the best benefits of a private tutor is that they can give you the exact help you need by tailoring tutoring sessions to you.  You can learn the study skills you’ll need for the ACT Math section.

Benefits of Working With an ACT Math Tutor

The most important benefit of hiring an ACT tutor is that you can improve your score on the Math section of the test. But there are additional advantages as well.

Better Math grades

While an ACT Math tutor will spend some tutoring sessions focused on test prep strategies, they will also help you learn key Math concepts. Most students struggle with math at some point in their academic careers, so chances are there are some topics you’re less comfortable with. An ACT Math tutor can spend time going over those subjects so you build a deep understanding of them.

Less test anxiety

Standardized tests like the ACT can be stressful. The test environment itself is stressful, and there’s the underlying knowledge that your score can determine what sort of college opportunities are open to you. 

By taking the time to study with a private ACT tutor, you can lower your test anxiety. ACT prep tutors can offer helpful advice on managing your stress and reducing your anxiety on test day. Plus, just the fact that you are spending the time to study with an expert can help you feel more confident about the ACT Math test.

Preparation for college

Of course, a good ACT score is a big part of preparing for college. But working with an ACT tutor can also sharpen your Math skills so you’re ready for advanced courses like college Algebra and Calculus.

How Much Does an ACT Math Tutor Cost?

Private tutoring has a reputation for being very expensive, but the fact is that tutoring rates vary widely. Some tutors charge as little as $15 per hour while others charge over $100 per hour. The average cost of a private test prep tutor is around $80 per hour. You might find that tutors with advanced degrees, teaching licenses, or decades of experience charge more than a tutor with a bachelor’s degree. 

There are some ways you can potentially lower your cost for private ACT tutoring. Some tutors offer a discount if you purchase several hours at a time. Others may teach small-group sessions for a lower fee than one-on-one tutoring. 

How Do I Choose an ACT Math Tutor?

There are lots of excellent ACT Math tutors to choose from, so you need to know how to find the perfect one for you. The best ACT Math tutor is one who has a teaching style that works well for you and a compatible personality. You may need someone who uses more demonstrations of problems or someone who has access to a lot of test prep books and sample exams. It’s best to choose someone who understands your learning style and goals.

When you’re comparing potential tutors, look at their education and other credentials. It’s good to choose someone who already has several years of tutoring experience, particularly in ACT test prep. Online reviews from prior students can give you key insight into a tutor’s teaching style and results.

How to Find an ACT Math Tutor Near You

It’s easy to find an ACT Math tutor near you. Just start with an online search for ACT tutors in your city or ZIP code. You’ll probably get a long list of potential options, including some local tutors in your area and others who offer remote tutoring sessions online.

You can narrow down your list based on each potential tutor’s qualifications and years of experience. Be sure to choose someone who specializes in the ACT Math section. The SAT exam is similar, but not the same, so studying needs to be slightly different. Check for online reviews as well to make sure the tutor was well-liked by prior students.

To make your final decision, send a message to your top candidates. You can ask about their test prep methods and verify that they can cover the Math concepts that are challenging you. Some private tutors offer a free initial session, which lets you determine whether they are a good fit for you.

Common ACT Math Skills & Topics to Know

The Math section of the ACT is designed to cover a range of typical high school Math topics from courses like Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, Geometry, and Trigonometry:

• Real and complex number systems
• Exponents, vectors, and matrices
• Polynomial, exponential, linear, and radical equations
• Graphing and solving expressions
• Manipulating and translating functions
• Area, perimeter, surface area, and volume of shapes and solids
• Trigonometric ratios and conic sections

The test also includes a few topics from Probability and Statistics, like data collection methods and sample spaces.

You are allowed to use a calculator on the ACT Math portion, but the time limit is still fairly tight, so it’s essential to have excellent problem-solving skills.

ACT Math Tutoring Frequently Asked Questions

If you aren’t sure about hiring an ACT Math tutor, check the questions below. You’ll find expert answers to help you decide which option is right for you.

What is ACT Math?

The ACT is a standardized test that includes a Math section featuring multiple-choice questions. These questions cover various topics that are taught in high school Math classes, such as basic arithmetic, Trigonometry, Geometry, and Algebra. Because of the ACT’s strict time limit, it tests the student’s ability to solve Math questions quickly and accurately.

What does an ACT Math tutor do?

An ACT Math tutor helps students prepare for the Math portion of the ACT college entrance exam. Tutoring sessions are designed to help students master the Math concepts that are part of the test and also improve their test-taking skills. With this combination of Math instruction and test prep, students can hone the essential skills they need to score well on the ACT.

Are ACT Math tutors worth it?

Yes. Studies show that students who work with a private ACT tutor tend to score higher when retaking standardized college entrance exams like the ACT. Your ACT score can have a significant impact on your educational opportunities, so it’s worth it to hire a private tutor to try to increase your score.

Is online ACT Math tutoring available?

Yes. You can find several different online services that offer ACT Math tutoring. 

How is online tutoring different from in-person tutoring?

While many people choose to hire a local ACT tutor for in-person sessions, you can also go through an online tutoring service. Both options allow you to learn at your own pace from an experienced tutor. An online service is a good option for people who live in an area without many local ACT tutors or who need a lot of flexibility when scheduling sessions.

Is ACT Math tutoring tax deductible?

No. The IRS counts the cost of private tutoring as a personal expense, which is not eligible for a tax deduction.
