Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors
serving St. Louis, MO

Teaching a seven-year-old why borrowing works in subtraction requires a completely different skill set than explaining calculus. Kathleen brings both — she's a math major at Washington University who genuinely enjoys working with younger students on foundational skills like multi-digit operations, basic fractions, and number sense. She figures out how each kid thinks and adapts her explanations to match.

At the elementary level, math should feel like puzzle-solving, not rote drill. John teaches place value, multi-digit operations, and early fraction concepts by emphasizing the 'why' behind each step — like understanding that multiplication is really repeated grouping, not just a times-table fact. That conceptual grounding, backed by his B.S. in Mathematics, gives young learners tools they can build on for years.

I am excited to help anyone who might need it!

Kristen holds elementary education certification (grades 1–6) and knows how to make early math concepts like place value, regrouping, and basic fractions feel intuitive rather than intimidating. She uses hands-on strategies and visual models to make sure young learners actually understand what's happening when they add, subtract, multiply, or divide. That conceptual grounding pays off for years.

Fractions, place value, and multi-digit multiplication are the building blocks that everything else in math depends on. Anna takes a hands-on approach to these foundational concepts, using concrete examples and patient repetition to make sure young learners genuinely understand the reasoning behind each operation rather than just following steps.

Building number sense early — understanding place value, basic operations, and how to reason through word problems — sets the trajectory for everything that comes after. Megan holds a master's in Curriculum and Instruction and designs lessons that make abstract ideas concrete, using visuals and hands-on strategies that stick with younger learners.

Early math confidence shapes everything that comes after, which is why Bri treats each elementary concept — place value, basic multiplication, simple fractions — as something worth truly understanding, not just memorizing. She uses stories and visual models to make numbers feel less intimidating, drawing on her English background to explain ideas in ways young learners actually absorb.

Getting fractions, decimals, and place value right early on changes everything about how a student experiences math later. Vijaya teaches elementary math by building number sense through concrete examples — skip-counting, visual models, word problems — so kids understand the "why" behind each operation.

Early math concepts like place value, fractions, and basic multiplication set the stage for everything a student will encounter later. Hannah makes these ideas tangible by linking them to everyday situations — splitting a pizza, counting change, measuring ingredients — so young learners grasp the 'why' behind each operation.

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.

I am an Atlanta native. I hold an undergraduate degree in Business from Tennessee State University and graduated degree in Education from Cambridge College. I am a Georgia and Texas certified teacher. I have always enjoyed working with kids. I have taught kindergarten, first, second and fourth grade. I am a hard-worker, team player and passionate about my students succeeding in whatever they set their minds too. I currently hold endorsements in K-5 Mathematics, Teacher Support Specialist, and ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages). I am able to provide instruction that meets the needs of all students. I have the ability to differentiate instruction so that I cater to all learning styles and levels.

Getting fractions, long division, and place value right at the elementary level sets the trajectory for everything that comes after in math. Matthew takes a patient, step-by-step approach — showing how a problem works, then giving the student a chance to try similar ones while asking questions along the way. It's a simple method, but it builds the kind of number sense that sticks.

Fractions, place value, and multi-digit multiplication are the concepts where young learners either build lasting number sense or start relying on memorized tricks that fall apart later. Mrunali uses concrete examples and step-by-step reasoning to make these foundational ideas click, keeping sessions engaging for younger students.

Every elementary math concept, from skip counting to long division to basic fractions, is a building block for what comes next — and gaps at this stage compound quickly. Hasan runs an after-school program at a classical academy in Phoenix, so he spends his days identifying exactly where a young student's understanding breaks down and addressing it with hands-on, visual strategies that make abstract ideas concrete.

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.

Fractions, place value, and basic multiplication can feel overwhelming to young learners when the "why" behind each step isn't clear. Anni breaks these concepts into visual, hands-on explanations that build real number sense — drawing on the same structured thinking she uses in her biomedical sciences training.

Getting number sense right early — place value, basic fractions, the logic behind multiplication — shapes how a child thinks about math for years. Vy taught first graders at a Sunday School program and worked with deaf preschoolers at Vanderbilt Medical Center's Mama Lere Hearing School, so she's practiced at making abstract ideas tangible for young learners. She holds a 5.0 rating from her students.

Getting comfortable with multiplication facts, place value, and basic fractions early on makes every math class that follows significantly easier. Li uses visual strategies and real-world examples — measuring ingredients, splitting groups evenly — to make these foundational concepts click for younger learners.

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.

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 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.
