Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects

Enabling children to grasp the foundational knowledge and skills that they will use for the rest of their lives is a wonderful gift. Good education is, in my belief, the single most important thing we can impart to the younger generation. I am very motivated to equip young minds to learn more about the academic world, introducing them to mathematics, English and other subjects such as the physical sciences, arts, and history.

AP Calculus BC Tutor • +32 Subjects

I love math, and have a passion for sharing that love and knowledge. Progressing through courses of mathematics teaches much beyond what is on the page. It teaches problem-solving, critical and creative thinking. I try not only to teach the mechanics of math, but instill an appreciation for the skills the process can develop. And while math is my favorite subject to tutor, I have had training in and am qualified for all sections of SAT and ACT test prep, and enjoy working with students to help them learn and meet their college goals.

Phoebe

8th Grade math Tutor • +43 Subjects

As a student of life, education, both formal and informal, energizes me. On the formal front, I have my AA in Psychology, my BA in Criminology, and my MS in E-Commerce, and I have an equally diverse post-studies career history. My love of education has taken me to Southern California where I fed my love of law and learned about film. Next, I visited rural Florida with a stint at a Community Theatre. I've even spent a fair amount of time in the Hospitality Industry in Las Vegas, which, unexpectedly, introduced me to the construction industry. Through all of this, I have been a professional tutor for profit and pro bono. I believe education should be available to everyone regardless of age, sex, or socio-economic status, and I utilize learning identification to impart wisdom in the most effective way possible for each student's needs. I love that magical moment when the student "gets it." With experience in a broad range of subjects, mathematics is the most enjoyable for me, as well as LSAT Logic Games I'm the weirdo doing LSAT games at the tea house. My spare time finds me in nature for hikes and trail runs, and I can regularly be found on an obstacle course (Spartan, Tough Mudder, SISU, etc.) or doing an extreme endurance events either racing or supporting friends. Life is to be learned and lived!

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +17 Subjects

I have had the opportunity to teach and to tutor thousands of students over my 33 year teaching career. I believe that each student is unique, and that academic skills and weaknesses should be assessed and targeted for the best results. I also hope that it can be a FUN learning experience! I love it when students develop a passion for a subject like Biology, or develop an understanding and/or respect for Algebra, Geometry, etc. Most important to me is that the student ultimately feels successful, and sees improvement. Learning is a lifelong skill, and the desire to become better academically or to pass a class with a particular grade provides the motivation and opportunity to grow! I feel fortunate to be able to assist in those endeavors!

Usman

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +32 Subjects

I was born in a small town, went to college in the big city, and now live in a medium-sized Rust Belt city. I enjoy learning and teaching, playing music, and casual bike riding, among other things. I hold a bachelor's degree in Politics with a minor in History from New York University. While I enjoy discussing a variety of subjects, tutoring math, history, and political science are perhaps most appealing to me. I find that the act of explaining something to someone else helps me to understand it on an even deeper level, and I find that almost as gratifying as helping someone discover something new. The best thing about tutoring is helping someone to discover, or rediscover, the joy of discovery in themselves.

Omar

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +72 Subjects

Twentieth-century author Flannery O'Connor left behind two novels, thirty-two short stories, numerous essays, and one frequently-quoted observation: "I write so that I know what I'm thinking." In a similarly self-reflective spirit, I have come to believe that I teach so that I know what I have learned, and how I have learned it. During my first semester as a graduate student, my concentration within the English major was creative writing. In my second semester, I migrated to technical writing. My exposure to both disciplines has given me a great appreciation for all phases of the writing process, from the beautiful chaos of creation to the process of imposing order on what you have created: proofreading, header style definition, and everything else that makes a document look as though it had been as easy to write as it is to read. I've heard many students state plainly that they did not know how to write. I believe the first duty of a composition instructor is to prove two things to students: that they do know how to write, and that writing can be a rewarding means of self-expression, as opposed to the exercise in drudgery that students so often think it is. What I have found, in teaching both English and math, is that assignments should not simply be explained and repeated until the students catch on. Rather, the instructor should look for engaging illustrations of the concepts that underlie those assignments, so that they are easier to understand and more enjoyable to complete.

Christi

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +16 Subjects

I am a current graduate student of the University of Florida studying Forensic Veterinary Medicine Online. I received my Associates of Arts with a focus in Criminal Justice. I then completed my Bachelor's of Science, for which my major was Biology and my minor in Criminal Justice. I also have a Graduate Certificate in Digital Forensics, and a Master's degree in Medical Microbiology and Cell Science. Since I began college, I was a teaching assistant that taught a variety of subjects to kids of all ages. I also taught piano/music and art classes for numerous years, which was quite enjoyable (as I am a very creative person and love seeing others' creativity). While I teach a variety of subjects, I am most passionate about Science and English. In my experience, helping students that are struggling is very fulfilling, as I have experienced what it is like to struggle in class. My goal is to help students be more confident and understand materials that may have been difficult to grasp. As a person that was able to start college at age 15, I am a firm believer that helping children excel in education, realizing their potential and understanding their learning style is crucial for an improved educational experience and quality of life. In my spare time, I enjoy crafting, playing video games and watching cartoons.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Reasoning Through Language Arts section consistently challenges students, particularly the reading comprehension and grammar components. Many test-takers struggle with the math section due to gaps in foundational algebra and geometry concepts, especially when questions require multi-step problem-solving or interpreting graphs and data. The Science and Social Studies sections demand strong reading comprehension combined with the ability to analyze passages and apply knowledge—skills that don't always develop naturally without targeted practice. A tutor can identify which of these areas represents your biggest gap and build a focused study plan accordingly.

Pacing is one of the most common GED challenges because the test is timed and students often spend too long on difficult questions. Effective pacing requires practicing with full-length, timed practice tests to build your internal clock and learn which question types you can answer quickly versus which ones need more thought. A tutor can teach you strategic skipping—identifying when to move past a question and return to it later—and help you develop section-specific timing targets (for example, spending roughly 1.5 minutes per math question). The key is practicing this strategy repeatedly so it becomes automatic on test day rather than something you're thinking about.

Yes—this is one of the most common situations tutors work with. The GED math section tests algebra, geometry, and data analysis, but many adult learners have significant gaps from years away from school. A tutor will assess your current level, identify which foundational concepts you need to rebuild (like order of operations, solving equations, or working with fractions), and create a sequenced study plan that fills those gaps before moving to test-specific strategies. Rather than trying to memorize formulas, effective GED math tutoring focuses on understanding the underlying concepts so you can apply them to unfamiliar question formats on test day.

GED reading passages often contain dense, complex text, and students frequently get stuck trying to understand every detail before answering questions. The most effective approach is to skim the passage first to understand its main idea and structure, then refer back to specific sections when answering individual questions—you don't need to fully comprehend everything upfront. Tutors teach students to identify question types (main idea, inference, vocabulary in context, etc.) because each type requires a slightly different strategy. Practicing this method with real GED passages helps you move faster while maintaining accuracy, which directly improves your score.

Test anxiety often stems from uncertainty about what to expect or fear of encountering unfamiliar question formats. Tutoring reduces anxiety by building genuine familiarity with the test through repeated practice with official GED materials and full-length practice tests under timed conditions. When you've seen the types of questions, practiced your pacing strategy, and experienced success on similar problems, test day feels less threatening. A tutor also helps you develop confidence in your problem-solving process—knowing you have a strategy for tackling difficult questions is often more calming than trying to memorize content.

The most reliable way is to take a full-length practice test under timed conditions, then analyze your results by section and question type rather than just looking at your overall score. You might discover that you're strong in math but weak in reading comprehension, or that you struggle specifically with inference questions in science. A tutor can help you interpret these results and prioritize—focusing first on areas where small improvements will have the biggest impact on your overall score. This targeted approach is much more efficient than general studying, especially if you're preparing on a timeline.

The ideal schedule depends on your starting point and target timeline, but most adult learners benefit from 3-5 hours of focused study per week spread across multiple sessions rather than cramming. A typical approach might be two 1.5-hour tutoring sessions per week combined with independent practice between sessions. Early in your preparation, you'll spend time building foundational knowledge and understanding question formats; as test day approaches, you'll shift toward full-length practice tests and reviewing weak areas. Your tutor can help you create a personalized timeline based on a diagnostic assessment and your target test date.

GED questions often require you to apply knowledge in unfamiliar ways—for example, math questions might present a real-world scenario you need to translate into an equation, or reading questions might ask you to infer an author's purpose rather than recall a fact. This format confusion is normal because it's different from how many adults remember being tested in school. The solution is exposure and practice: working through dozens of official GED questions helps you recognize patterns and develop intuition for what each question type is really asking. A tutor can walk you through the reasoning behind correct and incorrect answers, which accelerates this learning process far more than practicing alone.
