Paige
Academic Coaching Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am a graduate of The University of Memphis. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English with a concentration in literature and World Languages with a concentration in French. I graduated summa cum laude with university honors as the student marshal for The College of Arts and Sciences. I am also a member of the national honor society, Phi Kappa Phi. I am now working towards my Master of Arts in English Literature and a graduate certificate in Women's and Gender Studies with plans to complete a graduate certificate in Autism Studies as well. I believe everyone deserves access to a meaningful education and I know that not everyone thrives with the same teaching methods or paces. This is why it is so important for educators to understand their students and work with them accordingly. I enjoy reading as a pastime and one of the reasons I advocate for reading all throughout life is that it cultivates empathy, a character trait that is absolutely invaluable in this world. I would love to help you with homework!
Diane
ACT Prep Tutor • +36 Subjects
I specialize in ACT/SAT test prep, but I'm happy to help with most subjects up to high school level. I have a particularly strong background in Econ, Government, and Computer Science, but I have worked with students in pretty much everything! I'm also currently employed by two local high schools as a speech and debate coach. I really enjoy working with students and helping them meet their potential.My goal is to make whatever we are working on approachable and easy to understand. I will always try to find multiple ways to explain or remember a problem where possible, and will do my best to help you understand 'why', so that you can do better on not only the problem in front of you, but also on other problems like it in the future.I have flexible hours and locations, and because of my coaching and other work I am often in the North-West suburbs in addition to The Cities, so I can make many locations work. I look forward to working with you!
Olivia
American Literature Tutor • +19 Subjects
I hold a master's degree in English from Boston College, and I have 5-6 years of tutoring experience, depending on the subject. I also teach college level writing and English.I tutor ESL/ELL, English, Writing, Editing, Grammar and Style, SAT Reading, and Literature. I most enjoy tutoring writing, since that's what I teach, and literature, since that's what I enjoy studying most.My tutoring (and teaching) style is relatively informal, since I like to make sure students are comfortable both with me and the material. I also find that a more casual setting increases students' willingness to learn and their ability to retain material. My goal is to make sure that the student not only understands the material, but is confident in their understanding, since that leads to better grades and, ultimately, a better education.When I'm not teaching or tutoring, I enjoy music, cooking, writing, watching Jeopardy obsessively, and being outside with my dogs.

Having tutored GED students and led literacy circles, I've seen firsthand the value of education and reading. I love to read, everything from social commentary to dramatic novels, and I hope students I work with develop a lifelong love of literature. When not working or reading, I enjoy spending time with my pup, working on crossword puzzles, and seeking out the best cup of coffee.

Norman
ACT English Tutor • +14 Subjects
I am an expert writer, editor, and teacher with nearly fifteen years at the secondary and post-secondary levels of education with additional experience in curriculum development and educational assessment.Among the most satisfying experiences for me as an instructor has been my ability to galvanize students at all levels through a progressive and multi-disciplined approach to teaching. With experience teaching at both a small private university (Marian, Butler) as well as a large urban setting (Ivy Tech, IUPUI), as well as a year teaching Middle and High School Language Arts, I pride myself in keeping up with diverse learning styles. I am enthusiastic about the pedagogy of learning and am always open to new ideologies of critical thinking and techniques of instruction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Accelerated Algebra moves at a faster pace and often includes deeper conceptual exploration alongside the standard curriculum. Students are expected to not just solve equations, but understand the underlying logic and patterns. This faster progression means there's less time to review, so gaps in foundational skills like fractions or order of operations can become obstacles. Personalized tutoring helps bridge these gaps quickly and builds the conceptual understanding needed to keep pace with the accelerated curriculum.
Word problems require students to translate language into mathematical expressions—a skill that combines reading comprehension, mathematical reasoning, and problem setup. In accelerated courses, word problems often involve multi-step equations or systems of equations, which adds complexity. Many students focus on "getting the answer" rather than understanding what the problem is asking. Tutors help students slow down, identify key information, develop a strategy before solving, and connect the problem back to the real-world scenario. This builds both confidence and the flexible thinking needed for advanced math.
Graphing becomes intuitive when students see the connection between an equation, a table of values, and the visual representation on a coordinate plane. Many students memorize slope-intercept form without understanding what slope actually represents, or they struggle to interpret what a graph tells them about a situation. Personalized instruction helps you develop this visual-algebraic connection by working with multiple representations simultaneously. When you understand that the slope is a rate of change, or that x-intercepts represent solutions, graphing becomes a tool for understanding rather than a procedural task.
Showing work isn't just about proving you got the right answer—it's a thinking tool. When students write out each step, they're more likely to catch their own mistakes, understand where errors happen, and apply the same logic to new problems. In accelerated algebra, teachers expect clear communication of mathematical reasoning, and this skill matters even more in future courses. Tutors help students develop organized problem-solving habits by modeling how to structure solutions, explaining why each step follows from the last, and building the metacognitive awareness that clear thinking leads to clear work.
Math anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or out of control. Personalized tutoring reduces anxiety by building genuine confidence—when you understand not just how to solve a problem, but why the method works, unfamiliar problems become less threatening. Tutors help by breaking down complex topics into manageable pieces, practicing similar problem types until patterns become clear, and creating a low-pressure space to make mistakes and learn from them. Over time, as students experience success with increasingly challenging material, they develop resilience and see themselves as capable mathematicians rather than just "bad at math."
Proofs are different from standard problem-solving—they require students to justify every step based on properties, definitions, or previously proven statements. Many accelerated algebra students encounter proofs for the first time and struggle because they're used to calculating answers, not explaining why something is always true. The key is understanding that a proof is a logical argument, not a mysterious puzzle. Tutors help by teaching you to identify what you know, what you need to prove, and which properties connect them. Working through proofs with feedback helps you develop the logical thinking that forms the foundation for geometry, algebra II, and beyond.
With consistent personalized instruction, students typically develop stronger problem-solving strategies, clearer understanding of concepts (not just procedures), and improved ability to tackle unfamiliar problem types. You should expect to move from "I memorized this" to "I understand why this works." Most students also experience increased confidence and reduced math anxiety as they build genuine competence. Specific improvements depend on your starting point, but the research on personalized 1-on-1 instruction shows significant gains in both conceptual understanding and test performance when students work with expert tutors who can adapt to their learning pace and style.
