Most algebra struggles trace back to one or two gaps — maybe distributing negatives, maybe setting up equations from word problems. Shawn diagnoses exactly where the confusion starts and rebuilds from that point, covering factoring, systems, and quadratics in a sequence that actually sticks. He hold...

Having taken college-level linear algebra and multivariable calculus as a freshman at Northwestern's engineering school, Dylan built his higher math on a bedrock of algebraic fluency — and he knows exactly which core skills (distributing, factoring, working with rational expressions) need to be rock...

When a student says they're "bad at algebra," it almost always traces back to a specific conceptual gap — maybe negative number operations, maybe distributing across parentheses, maybe translating word problems into equations. Cassandra diagnoses that gap early and rebuilds from there, so each new t...

A strong grasp of algebra underpins nearly everything Sam studied in his Human Biology program, from setting up equations for statistical models to manipulating formulas in lab work. He breaks down topics like systems of equations and inequalities by connecting them to practical scenarios, making ab...

Most algebra struggles come down to one thing: students follow steps without understanding why those steps work, then freeze when a problem looks slightly different. Daniel teaches the logic underneath — why you flip the inequality sign when dividing by a negative, how distributing actually connects...

Solving for x is straightforward until students hit multi-step equations, inequalities, or word problems that require translating English into math. Elizabeth's engineering training gave her years of practice turning real situations into algebraic expressions, and she brings that same translation sk...

Most algebra struggles come down to one thing: students can follow a procedure but can't set up the problem themselves. Karen tackles that gap head-on, teaching students to translate word problems into equations and reason through factoring, inequalities, and linear systems rather than relying on me...

Teaching Algebra I at the high school level showed Zelalem exactly where students get stuck: translating word problems into equations, distributing negatives correctly, and making sense of slope as a rate of change. He tackles each of these by connecting the algebra to something concrete before movi...

The jump into algebra is really a jump into abstract thinking, and Michelle tackles it by grounding every new concept — whether it's solving systems of equations or factoring quadratics — in concrete examples first. Her teaching assistant experience at an SAT prep center sharpened her ability to dia...

Most algebra struggles come down to one or two foundational ideas that didn't stick — distributive property, balancing equations, or what a variable actually represents. Gabriela spent years teaching algebra in the classroom before earning her Master's in Math Education, and she's developed a sharp ...
