Erica is currently pursuing a Master's in Elementary Education, which means she's deeply immersed in how young learners develop number sense, place value understanding, and early problem-solving strategies. She brings creative, patient instruction to concepts like multi-digit multiplication and basic fractions — the building blocks that everything else in math depends on.
Getting multiplication tables, fractions, and place value right at this stage shapes how a student thinks about math for years. Brittany's experience ranges from tutoring middle schoolers in West Philadelphia to working with college students at Penn, which gives her a clear picture of where early math skills need to be solid — and she makes those foundational concepts stick through concrete examples rather than rote repetition.
Multiplication tables, basic fractions, and place value aren't just rote skills — they're the building blocks that determine how a student handles every math class that follows. Jean teaches elementary math by making these foundational concepts tangible, using step-by-step problem solving that gives young learners genuine confidence with numbers.
Multiplication strategies, place value, and early fraction concepts all click faster when a student understands the 'why' behind each step. Jessi's psychology background gives her insight into how younger learners process new information, and she uses that to tailor explanations — whether a kid needs manipulatives, drawings, or word-problem storytelling to make a concept stick.
Getting multiplication tables, place value, and basic fractions right at the elementary level shapes everything that comes after in math. Andrew teaches these foundational skills through step-by-step reasoning, making sure a student understands why borrowing works in subtraction or how division relates to multiplication. His patient, clear communication style — rated 4.8 by families — keeps younger learners engaged without overwhelming them.
Building number sense early — understanding place value, basic operations, and simple fractions — sets kids up for everything that comes later in math. Matthew's experience working with younger students means he knows how to keep lessons engaging and meet the pace that elementary learners actually need.
Teaching young learners multiplication tables or place value requires patience and creativity in equal measure. Jean has taught students as young as toddlers and understands that elementary math sticks best when it's hands-on — using tangible examples, patterns, and games rather than rote drills. Her medical training also means she's attuned to how developing minds learn, which shapes how she paces each session.
Multiplication tables, long division, and basic fractions are skills that need to feel automatic before a student can tackle anything more advanced. Matt teaches these building blocks through patterns and hands-on strategies that make numbers feel less intimidating for younger learners.
Building number sense early — understanding place value, basic multiplication facts, and simple fractions — sets up everything that comes later in math. Nicole studied child development as part of her Children's Studies minor at Washington University, so she knows how to match explanations to the way younger learners actually process new ideas. She uses concrete examples and visual models to make abstract concepts click.
Building number sense early — understanding place value, basic operations, and how to reason through word problems — sets the trajectory for everything that comes after in math. Mary treats elementary math as a chance to make young learners feel confident with numbers rather than anxious about them. Her 5.0 rating speaks to an approach that keeps sessions engaging while making sure core skills stick.
Abby tutored elementary students in math before finishing her Education Studies degree at Brown, so she knows that a second grader struggling with place value and a fourth grader stuck on fractions need very different approaches. She uses visual models and hands-on strategies — number lines, arrays, fraction bars — to make arithmetic click. Her background in teaching visual art also gives her a knack for making lessons feel creative rather than repetitive.
Early math confidence matters more than early math speed, and Amber structures her sessions around making sure a student genuinely understands place value, basic operations, or simple fractions before racing ahead. She uses hands-on strategies and real-world examples — counting money, measuring ingredients — to make abstract numbers tangible. Rated 5.0 by families she's worked with.
Building number sense early — understanding place value, basic operations, and simple word problems — sets the trajectory for everything that comes after in math. Lauren studied education at Northwestern and has experience tutoring young learners in after-school programs, so she knows how to keep lessons structured without losing a child's attention.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many elementary students struggle with the transition from learning math procedures (like how to do division) to truly understanding why those procedures work. Word problems are another frequent challenge—students often know how to compute but get stuck translating real-world scenarios into math. Additionally, building confidence with multi-digit operations and fractions can be difficult without personalized support, especially as concepts build on each other throughout the year.
The first session focuses on getting to know your student—their learning style, current strengths, and specific areas where they need support. A tutor will assess where your student is in their curriculum and identify any gaps or misconceptions that might be holding them back. This foundation helps create a personalized plan tailored to your student's pace and goals.
Tutors guide students through breaking problems into smaller, manageable steps and explaining their thinking aloud—this builds both clarity and confidence. Rather than just checking if an answer is right or wrong, tutors help students see the patterns and connections in math, so they understand not just what to do but why it works. This approach also makes it easier for teachers to see student understanding in the classroom.
Absolutely. Math anxiety often stems from feeling lost or unsupported, and personalized 1-on-1 instruction creates a safe, pressure-free space to learn. When students work with a tutor who meets them where they are and celebrates small wins, their confidence grows naturally. Many students discover they're actually capable at math once they have the chance to learn at their own pace without the stress of a classroom setting.
Yes. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand different elementary math curricula and approaches—whether your student's school uses traditional textbooks, Singapore Math, or other methods. Tutors can support whatever approach your student's teacher uses, and they'll work to bridge any gaps between how concepts are taught at school and how your student learns best.
Word problems require students to read carefully, identify what's being asked, and translate language into math—all at once. Tutors break this process down by teaching students specific strategies: underlining key information, drawing pictures or diagrams, and checking whether their answer makes sense in the context of the problem. With practice and guidance, students move from feeling confused to confidently tackling word problems on their own.
Tutors track progress through regular check-ins and by monitoring whether your student is applying new strategies independently. You'll see progress in homework completion, test scores, and most importantly, in your student's confidence and willingness to tackle math challenges. Many parents notice their student asking for help less often and attempting problems they previously avoided.
Simply reach out to Varsity Tutors and let us know your student's grade level, specific challenges, and learning preferences. We'll match you with an expert tutor who fits your needs and schedule. Most students benefit from consistent weekly sessions, though we can customize a plan that works for your family.
