Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors
serving Norfolk, VA

I am currently a lead preschool teacher. I received my Bachelor's in Psychology from VCU and am looking to return to school to further my education. While in college, I worked as a Supplemental Instruction leader, teaching general biology and anatomy. I have also worked in an after school program with elementary age children, but I have my fondest memories volunteering as a counselor for Camp Kesem. In my own experience, I loved school and now I love teaching even more at all age levels! I especially enjoy the challenge of getting creative to discover what approach and mediums work best for each student. I am available for in person as well as online tutoring.

Andrea's experience teaching children of immigrants at a refugee center — kids who were simultaneously learning English and adapting to American school curricula — gave her a sharp sense of how to explain arithmetic concepts without relying on language alone. She leans on drawings, physical objects, and pattern recognition to make operations like regrouping and basic division accessible to any young learner, regardless of starting point. Rated 4.7 by families.

Fractions, place value, and multi-digit multiplication aren't just procedures to memorize — they're the conceptual bedrock for every math class that follows. Vinay teaches elementary math by making sure students understand *why* borrowing works or *what* a fraction actually represents, not just how to get the right answer. His patient, structured approach has earned him a 5.0 rating across years of working with younger learners.

Strong math instincts start with how a child first encounters multiplication, fractions, and place value — not just whether they get the right answer. Ava uses her education background to identify where a concept broke down and re-teaches it using concrete examples, visual models, and hands-on reasoning before moving to abstract rules.

Getting multiplication tables and place value to truly click early on makes every math class that follows easier. Rashana uses real-world examples like money and measurement to teach elementary concepts, making abstract number sense feel concrete and intuitive for younger learners.

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.

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, regrouping in subtraction, or why multiplication is repeated addition — shapes how a student thinks about math for years. Katherine uses concrete examples and visual strategies to make these ideas stick before layering on procedures. She's patient with younger learners and skilled at spotting exactly where a concept breaks down.

Running a writing program for elementary students and teaching Algebra I at a community center gave Katherine a clear picture of how kids at different stages relate to numbers — and where confusion tends to start. She zeroes in on the mental models behind addition, subtraction, and early multiplication so that a student's grasp of arithmetic actually holds up when problems get harder.

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 changes everything about how a student experiences math later on. Katie teaches elementary concepts like place value, basic fractions, and multi-digit multiplication in ways that emphasize understanding over rote memorization — using visual models and real-world examples that make abstract ideas click. She's patient with young learners and genuinely excited when a concept lands.

Getting multiplication facts and place value down early changes everything about a student's math trajectory. Iselee uses structured practice and visual strategies to make concepts like regrouping and basic fractions intuitive rather than intimidating for younger learners.

Multiplication tables and long division aren't just procedures to memorize — they're building blocks that either support or undermine everything a student does in math for years to come. Owen approaches elementary math by making sure students understand place value and number relationships deeply enough to apply them flexibly, not just follow steps on a worksheet.

Place value, regrouping, and early fractions click faster when a tutor knows exactly where young learners tend to get stuck. Molly has spent three years teaching math intervention in 2nd through 4th grade classrooms, so she can pinpoint a gap in number sense and address it before it snowballs. Rated 5.0 by families she's worked with.
