I met with Rachna to review my math skills before the current ACT test. She helped by reviewing by what is on the ACT. She also went over step by step on understanding math concepts. Ms. Rachna also understood my concerns and addressed them in a manner that I could understand. She was very friendly and easy to relate to. I enjoyed working with her and would HIGHLY recommend using Rachna for any math tutoring needs. She was the best tutor I've had at Wyzant!
