Jerry Yang · ACT Math Specialist

I've solved thousands of ACT math problems.
I'm obsessed with this test.

I only tutor one thing: ACT Math, one-on-one. Most of my students find me after a class, a workshop, or another tutor has already covered everything else, because math has more sub-skills than any other section and group prep can't individualize for all of them.

The specialist, not the generalist

Most of my students find me after a workshop, a class, or another tutoring program has already covered everything else. I'm who they call when math is the one piece still not clicking.

2

One-on-one, because math isn't one skill

ACT Math tests dozens of distinct sub-skills. A group class teaches to the middle. My diagnostic finds exactly which sub-skills a student is missing, then I teach only those.

3

Affordable because I only do one thing

Specializing in a single section, one-on-one, is how I can offer truly individualized attention at a rate a full-service program can't match.

Every Skill. Tracked. Checked Off.

My diagnostic doesn't stop at "Geometry" or "Algebra." It tracks 165 named math skills across all 9 ACT categories, verified against 3,060 real problems from 51 official tests. Here's what closing every gap actually looks like.

How I Run the Program

The same five steps I use with every student — whether they're starting fresh or already partway through another program.

1

Free introductory call

A quick call to talk through what's going on. I get a first read on where the gaps might be, no obligation.

2

Free diagnostic test

I schedule the student for a full ACT Math diagnostic, broken down by sub-skill, not just a composite score.

3

Free strategy conference

I grade the diagnostic myself and trace every wrong answer back to the specific concept behind it, then walk you through a personalized, prerequisite-mapped plan — in plain terms, which sub-skills are missing and how many sessions it will realistically take to close them.

4

Live 1:1 sessions, online

I teach every session myself over Zoom, focused entirely on ACT Math — direct instruction, not a rotating roster.

5

A recap after every single session

I send parents a written summary of what we covered and what's next, every time.

Featured Student Story

Akshay Gulabrao, Granada Hills Charter High School

Jerry Yang with student Akshay Gulabrao at Oxford Test Prep

Akshay came to me scoring a 28 on ACT Math — good, but not quite enough to be competitive for the engineering programs he had his sights on. Math was the one section standing between him and those schools, so we diagnosed exactly which sub-skills were costing him points and closed them one by one. He walked away with a 34 in Math, graduated in 2017, and went on to UC Riverside's Computer Engineering program — one of the most competitive majors on campus.

Jerry Yang

I'm a USC Marshall graduate. I can help with any part of the ACT, but math is my passion — it's the subject I love teaching most. I've worked through thousands of ACT Math problems myself, not just to solve them, but to understand exactly how to explain each one clearly. That's what led me to build the prerequisite-chain diagnostic system this practice runs on: math has more sub-skills than any other section, and a generic, one-size class can't individualize for all of them.
