Joseph
AP Statistics Tutor • +63 Subjects
I'm passionate about helping students because I believe everyone deserves the tools and preparation to build a brighter future. Education isn't just about learning facts, it's about discovering your potential, and I love being part of that journey. I've worked with students from all levels, from kindergarten through college and even graduate programs. Over the years, I've helped with a variety of subjects, but my specialties are SAT prep, SAT Subject Tests (Math II, Biology, Chemistry), Statistics, and Biology. Out of all these, I especially enjoy SAT prep. Many people think it's all about knowledge, but the SAT is really a mix of problem-solving, critical thinking, and understanding the test itself. Mastering its structure and strategies can make a huge difference, and I love showing students how to do that. I studied Biology at Lehigh University for my undergraduate degree and completed my Master's in Innovation at Yonsei University. My academic background taught me the value of hard work, curiosity, and persistencelessons I bring to every tutoring session. My teaching philosophy is simple: practice makes progress. Sure, explaining and lecturing are important, but the best learning happens when students can dive in, try things out, and connect the dots themselves. During sessions, I start with a quick, clear explanation, move into practice, and then review to make sure everything sticks. When I'm not tutoring, I'm probably watching or playing basketball. It's my favorite way to unwind. Whether I'm catching a game or hitting the gym for a pick-up run, it keeps me energized and ready to tackle whatever comes next. If you're looking for support with academics, test prep, or just building confidence in your skills, I'd love to help you reach your goals!
Simon
Statistics Tutor • +21 Subjects
I have a PhD in computational physics from the University Of Pennsylvania, as well as a degree in physics and computer science from the University Of British Columbia. I have years of experience as a teaching assistant and have been an instructor at a college level. I've taught hundreds of students to program effectively in a wide range of languages, as well many different physics courses. In the corporate world, I've found the experience of watching a mentee grow and thrive the most satisfying. While small classroom experiences are fun, I love working one on one with students - the moment when an idea "clicks" is just as fun for the teacher as it is for the student!
Benjamin
Applied Mathematics Tutor • +40 Subjects
I received my PhD in mathematics from Drexel University in 2019. I really enjoyed teaching as a graduate student, and working as a tutor here seems like a nice way to get back into it. Before graduate school, I went to Johns Hopkins. I started out as a "chemical and biomolecular engineering" major, but then ended up switching to a double major in math and electrical engineering. I graduated with a BA in math and MS in electrical engineering. From there, I went to Drexel University to write and defend my dissertation in mathematics, which was about two unsolved problems in linear algebra. While in Johns Hopkins and Drexel University, I ended up teaching a lot of math and a bit of science not only as a tutor, but also as a teaching assistant and as a primary instructor. Since then, I've been working as a mathematician; I worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Free University of Brussels for one year, and then as a research scientist at the Air Force Research Lab in Dayton, Ohio for two years. It's been a rewarding career, but I have missed teaching. When it comes to teaching, I try my best to take a flexible approach and meet students where they are. I am a big believer in the power of intuition and curiosity, so I try to teach in a way that nurtures both. I find that it is important not only to know how to get from problem statement to solution, but also to have some understanding of why the pieces fit together the way they do. Besides math and teaching, I enjoy singing, playing piano, playing online chess, and doing the New York Times crossword (and other word games). Lately, I've been trying to get back into running and yoga.

Frequently Asked Questions
College Math requires a shift from memorizing procedures to understanding underlying concepts and why methods work. Students often struggle because they've relied on formula application rather than developing mathematical reasoning. A tutor can help bridge this gap by teaching you to recognize patterns, understand the logic behind theorems, and apply concepts flexibly across different problem types—skills essential for success in calculus, linear algebra, and beyond.
Word problems require translating real-world scenarios into mathematical language—a skill separate from computation. Effective strategies include identifying what's being asked, defining variables clearly, breaking multi-step problems into manageable chunks, and checking whether your answer makes sense in context. A tutor can teach you to visualize problems through diagrams or tables, recognize problem types you've seen before, and develop a systematic approach so word problems feel like puzzles to solve rather than obstacles.
Proofs require logical thinking and the ability to justify every step—a significant jump from plugging numbers into formulas. Many students struggle because they don't see how to start or what counts as valid reasoning. A tutor can show you proof structures (direct proof, contradiction, induction), help you identify what you know versus what you need to prove, and guide you through working backwards from the conclusion. Over time, you'll recognize common proof patterns and develop confidence in mathematical argumentation.
Graphing connects abstract equations to visual representations, helping you see relationships between variables and understand behavior across different domains. Many students skip this step and miss crucial insights—like why a function has asymptotes or how parameters affect a curve's shape. A tutor can teach you to sketch graphs by hand (not just use calculators), interpret key features like intercepts and slopes, and move fluidly between equations, graphs, and real-world interpretations. This visual literacy strengthens your overall mathematical understanding.
In College Math, showing work demonstrates your reasoning process and helps instructors identify where misunderstandings occur—partial credit often depends on it. More importantly, writing out steps forces you to organize your thinking and catch errors before they compound. A tutor can help you develop clear mathematical communication: explaining why you chose a method, labeling steps logically, and justifying your reasoning. This habit builds deeper understanding and prepares you for upper-level courses where conceptual clarity matters more than computational speed.
Multi-step equations require maintaining order of operations, tracking variables across steps, and avoiding algebraic errors that compound—one mistake early on ruins the entire solution. Common pitfalls include distributing incorrectly, losing negative signs, or forgetting to apply operations to both sides of an equation. A tutor can slow down the process, help you check your work at each stage, teach you to estimate what a reasonable answer looks like, and build pattern recognition so you spot your typical errors before they happen. This develops both accuracy and mathematical confidence.
Math anxiety often stems from past struggles, rushed learning, or feeling lost in class—and it genuinely impairs your ability to access knowledge you actually have. A tutor creates a low-pressure environment where you can ask questions without judgment, work through problems at your own pace, and gradually build confidence through small wins. By understanding concepts deeply rather than memorizing procedures, you develop a sense of control and mastery. Regular practice with feedback also reduces test anxiety because you've solved similar problems before and know you can handle them.
Yes—different textbooks emphasize different approaches (some focus on graphing first, others on algebra), and your professor may have specific expectations about notation, proof style, or problem-solving methods. A tutor familiar with your course can align instruction with what your professor expects, help you navigate your textbook effectively, and ensure you're building skills in the order your course requires. When connecting with a tutor, sharing your syllabus and textbook information helps ensure you get support tailored to your exact course structure.
