Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors
serving Seattle, WA

Fractions, place value, and multi-digit multiplication all click faster when a student understands the reasoning behind each step. Austin breaks these concepts into visual, concrete pieces — using number lines, grouping, and real-world scenarios — so younger learners build genuine number sense instead of just memorizing procedures.

I am currently a senior at Northwestern University and I will be receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Legal Studies this spring. In the fall, I will begin attending law school at Northwestern Law. For many years, I tutored a wide range of students in Spanish, English literature, and writing. I have also continued to help many high school seniors with college application essays. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I am very passionate about helping students improve their reading and writing skills, and I really enjoy helping students with Critical Reading and Writing portions of Standardized Tests. I love working with students and helping them realize their full academic potential. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, exploring Chicago, reading, and cooking.

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.

Fractions, decimals, and long division don't have to be intimidating — they just need someone who explains the "why" behind each step. Jasmyn's science background means she uses math constantly and knows how to make arithmetic feel concrete, whether that's through visual models for multiplication or real-world examples that make place value intuitive.

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.

Building fluency with multiplication facts, place value, and basic fractions at the elementary level sets up everything that comes later in math. Christina genuinely enjoys working with younger students and designs lessons that mix structured practice with activities that keep kids engaged. She earned a 34 ACT composite, and her own math journey started with the same foundational skills she now teaches.

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 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 fractions, and how multiplication relates to repeated addition — sets up everything that comes later in math. Caitlyn teaches these foundational ideas with humor and patience, adjusting her explanations based on what clicks for each student. She's rated 5.0 and keeps younger learners engaged by making sessions feel more like a conversation than a lecture.

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.

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 fractions, and the logic behind multiplication — shapes how a student thinks about math for years. Asta's experience working with younger learners across different educational systems in both Hong Kong and the U.S. gives her a practical sense of where kids get stuck and how to unstick them.
