Hi! My name is Meg and I am a math and ACT prep tutor. I have two years of one-on-one tutoring experience, specializing in Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Precalculus, and ACT Math. I enjoy tailoring my sessions to my students’ unique and individual needs. Learning is deeply individual, so I am committed to implementing the methods and explanations that work best for you.

I graduated in 2021 with a bachelor's degree in engineering science and have been working as a tutor and electrical engineer since. My engineering degree was math-intensive, and I use algebra and precalculus daily as an electrical engineer. Because of this, I have developed an intuitive understanding of high school math concepts. I enjoy breaking complex problems down into clear, simple steps that make sense.

I also have been trained to tutor ACT prep through a national tutoring company. I have been tutoring ACT prep for two years, in addition to high school math. I have worked with over 30 students in all ACT subjects, and they have seen their scores increase by up to six points across sections. In practice, I reliably score in the range of 35-36, so ask me about strategies I use to achieve this!

I offer flexible options, including brush-up sessions and longer customized programs designed around your specific goals. I look forward to hearing from you!

Approved Subjects

ACT English

ACT English

I have 2+ years experience helping over 30 students prepare for the ACT, and many have been able to raise their score by 5 or more points! Most of my students work with me for four to eight months to achieve the results they are looking for, but I am happy to tailor your program to fit your specific needs. The ACT English section tests your ability to proofread passages, and knowing your punctuation rules is a must. I am very familiar with techniques that will help you play to your strengths and am excited to help you achieve your goals!
ACT Math

ACT Math

I have two years of experience tutoring ACT Math with a national tutoring company and regularly achieve 35-36 on practice tests. I am well-versed in proven strategies and enjoy specializing my sessions to your specific needs. My students have regularly seen an increase in their ACT Math score of up to six points! I prioritize locating weaknesses and turning them into strengths through clear explanations and regular practice.
ACT Reading

ACT Reading

I have 2+ years tutoring ACT prep with a national tutoring company, and tutoring ACT Reading is a unique challenge I enjoy. Reading for the ACT requires focus and the ability to think critically, so I focus my tutoring on teaching best practices and techniques to achieve this on standardized tests. My students have found success and have built confidence through working with me, and have often seen score increases of 5 points or more on the ACT.
ACT Science

ACT Science

I have two years of experience tutoring ACT Science and am ready to teach you critical techniques to earn the score you want. Science on the ACT tests your ability to read and comprehend science experiments and data, so I focus my teaching on learning how to locate key information quickly and accurately to get the correct answers. You do not have to have an extensive background in science to do well on the ACT, so let's work together to earn your goal score!
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have two years of experience tutoring students in Algebra 1. My goal is to help my students develop strong algebra skills so they are prepared for higher levels of math and careers in STEM. I believe that every student can succeed and excel in mathematics, and algebra is where it starts. When teaching math topics, I aim to meet students where they are and to break complex problems down into steps that they feel comfortable solving. I am patient and observant, and I use those qualities to make learning mathematics enjoyable and help students thrive. Learning algebra can feel dauting for students, but it doesn't have to be!
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

Algebra 2 is one of my favorite subjects to teach! I have been tutoring Algebra 2 for 2+ years and enjoy breaking problems down into steps that make sense. Having a solid foundation of algebra is critical for students interested in having a career in science, math, or engineering. I have a degree in engineering science, so this is something I know firsthand! I teach Algebra 2 from the unique perspective of someone who uses Algebra 2 concepts in my profession and has a deep, intuitive understanding of them. I enjoy meeting students where they are and helping them build confidence in their studies of mathematics.
Geometry

Geometry

I have 2+ years experience tutoring Geometry. I enjoy breaking complex geometry problems down into manageable pieces so that students can grasp concepts at every step. My goal is to make geometry enjoyable and help students build confidence in this area of math! I also have experience tutoring geometry for standardized tests, like the ACT, so let's talk about the concepts you need to know!
Precalculus

Precalculus

I have two years experience tutoring all levels of high school math, including precalculus. Precalculus is one of my favorite subjects to teach because it brings together fundamentals from previous math classes and sets you up for success in Calculus. I have developed a deep understanding of precalculus topics through my degree in engineering science and from working as a professional electrical engineer. I use my understanding of these topics to break complicated problems down into pieces you understand. Building confidence in Precalculus is critical for students interested in a career in STEM, and I have firsthand experience with this. My goal is to help you succeed, no matter where your understanding of mathematics is today.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

My degree in engineering science and professional work as an electrical engineer has put me in a unique position to be able to tutor trigonometry. I use trigonometry in my profession, and this has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of trig topics. I use my understanding to translate complicated trig problems into smaller pieces that are easy for a beginner to understand. My goal is to help students in their studies of mathematics so they can gain confidence in their abilities!

Great ACT math tutor!

We booked our daughter for 3 sessions of ACT math prep with Meg prior to her 2nd ACT test as we got her prior scores late with little time to prep for next test. We did not expect much improvement in that short amount of time but we were delighted when her math score jumped from a 27 to a 32. My daughter really enjoyed working with Meg too. She reviewed test problems with her and gave her tips and strategies for approaching the test. Highly recommended!

Wonderful Tutor

Meg did some ACT practice with my son and it was fantastic. He's a little impatient and sometimes struggles to focus, but they covered a lot of material, and Meg kept him on task and taught him key concepts extremely well. We'll be using Meg more and I thoroughly recommend her as an excellent tutor.

Meg was an absolute lifesaver for us!

My daughter’s regular ACT tutor went on vacation the week before she was scheduled to take the ACT again, and we were suddenly in a pinch. Meg stepped in and managed to fit Bella in for three 90-minute sessions in that final week, which we were incredibly grateful for. Even with such a short amount of time, Meg didn’t waste a minute. She quickly figured out where Bella was losing points and focused their time on the areas and strategies that could make the biggest difference. They worked on both English and Math, and Meg helped Bella understand that she had a strong foundation but was often losing points from rushing, not reading carefully enough, or spending too much time on difficult questions. I especially appreciated that Meg didn’t try to cram everything into Bella’s head at the last minute. Instead, she taught her how to test smarter—prioritize questions she was confident in, focus on accuracy, recognize when to move on, and avoid unnecessary mistakes. By their final session, Meg was already seeing a significant improvement in Bella’s English accuracy, which was so encouraging right before test day. Meg was patient, positive, flexible, and incredibly thorough. After every session she left detailed notes explaining exactly what they worked on, what she noticed, and what Bella should focus on next. As a parent, I really appreciated that communication. We found Meg completely by chance because we needed someone at the last minute, but I genuinely wish we had found her sooner. She accomplished a lot with Bella in just 4½ hours, and Bella went into her ACT feeling much more prepared and with a clear strategy. I would absolutely recommend Meg to any parent looking for ACT help!
