I am a tutor in math and computer science subjects. I think that every student has the potential to be good at math, but many have lost confidence somewhere along the way. My goal is to help students find that confidence again. I have a Master's degree in Math and a Bachelor's degree in Math and Computer Science. I have tutored for several years at the college level in both math and CS, with some classroom experience as well. I have also done some tutoring with middle - high school aged students. I work best one-on-one, and I really enjoy working in algebra, calculus, and pre-calculus. But mostly I enjoy helping students gain math and CS confidence!
Gabriel
AP Statistics Tutor • +12 Subjects
Hello! My name is Gabe, and I am a master's student at Johns Hopkins University studying Environmental Epidemiology and Biostatistics. I graduated from NYU in 2024 and studied environmental sciences and public health. I learned to have a passion for statistics since I found myself using it in so many of my courses. Statistics isn't for everyone, but I hope to help students expand their knowledge or gain confidence in using it for a class. While at NYU, I worked as a data analyst for a clinical trial and as a biostatistics intern. I am skilled in R studio for statistical and epidemiological analysis. My goal is to help students perform their best by becoming comfortable with the concepts.
Bhakti
AP Statistics Tutor • +90 Subjects
I'm a medical resident. looking to tutor in biology, anatomy, math, and MCAT prep. Teaching is one of my passions, and I have tutored since I was in high school. I continued to tutor while at Stony Brook University where I graduated with a double major in applied math and bioinformatics/computational biology. Due to unfortunate circumstances, I need to stay home for the next few months. I do not want to stop my tutoring so here I am looking to help students virtually! Medical school has made biology my favorite subject to tutor in as I've really nailed in me how to learn and understand a lot of material in a short amount of time. Medical school has taught me many approaches and tactics to making learning more efficient I wish I knew about earlier. I aim to share these methods with my students to make them stand out from the rest.

Joseph
AP Statistics Tutor • +63 Subjects
I'm passionate about helping students because I believe everyone deserves the tools and preparation to build a brighter future. Education isn't just about learning facts, it's about discovering your potential, and I love being part of that journey. I've worked with students from all levels, from kindergarten through college and even graduate programs. Over the years, I've helped with a variety of subjects, but my specialties are SAT prep, SAT Subject Tests (Math II, Biology, Chemistry), Statistics, and Biology. Out of all these, I especially enjoy SAT prep. Many people think it's all about knowledge, but the SAT is really a mix of problem-solving, critical thinking, and understanding the test itself. Mastering its structure and strategies can make a huge difference, and I love showing students how to do that. I studied Biology at Lehigh University for my undergraduate degree and completed my Master's in Innovation at Yonsei University. My academic background taught me the value of hard work, curiosity, and persistencelessons I bring to every tutoring session. My teaching philosophy is simple: practice makes progress. Sure, explaining and lecturing are important, but the best learning happens when students can dive in, try things out, and connect the dots themselves. During sessions, I start with a quick, clear explanation, move into practice, and then review to make sure everything sticks. When I'm not tutoring, I'm probably watching or playing basketball. It's my favorite way to unwind. Whether I'm catching a game or hitting the gym for a pick-up run, it keeps me energized and ready to tackle whatever comes next. If you're looking for support with academics, test prep, or just building confidence in your skills, I'd love to help you reach your goals!

Christopher
Applied Mathematics Tutor • +35 Subjects
I graduated from Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota, with a Bachelor of Arts degree, having majored in mathematics. Since then, I've worked for a number of health technology companies as a business analyst, usually helping to bridge the communications gap between programming staff and end users with clear documentation and presentations. I was also a theater nerd in high school and college, and (with my wife) developed and co-taught an elementary/middle school theater program for our neighborhood school. I've been a private tutor in mathematics for a number of years, working with local families on a handful of subjects, mostly pre-calculus and calculus. My favorite part of tutoring is helping my students to see that one little insight that can unlock the whole of the subject or lesson, and helping them pick the right tool or method to get a good answer.

Frequently Asked Questions
College Math requires a shift from memorizing procedures to understanding underlying concepts and why methods work. Students often struggle because they've relied on formula application rather than developing mathematical reasoning. A tutor can help bridge this gap by teaching you to recognize patterns, understand the logic behind theorems, and apply concepts flexibly across different problem types—skills essential for success in calculus, linear algebra, and beyond.
Word problems require translating real-world scenarios into mathematical language—a skill separate from computation. Effective strategies include identifying what's being asked, defining variables clearly, breaking multi-step problems into manageable chunks, and checking whether your answer makes sense in context. A tutor can teach you to visualize problems through diagrams or tables, recognize problem types you've seen before, and develop a systematic approach so word problems feel like puzzles to solve rather than obstacles.
Proofs require logical thinking and the ability to justify every step—a significant jump from plugging numbers into formulas. Many students struggle because they don't see how to start or what counts as valid reasoning. A tutor can show you proof structures (direct proof, contradiction, induction), help you identify what you know versus what you need to prove, and guide you through working backwards from the conclusion. Over time, you'll recognize common proof patterns and develop confidence in mathematical argumentation.
Graphing connects abstract equations to visual representations, helping you see relationships between variables and understand behavior across different domains. Many students skip this step and miss crucial insights—like why a function has asymptotes or how parameters affect a curve's shape. A tutor can teach you to sketch graphs by hand (not just use calculators), interpret key features like intercepts and slopes, and move fluidly between equations, graphs, and real-world interpretations. This visual literacy strengthens your overall mathematical understanding.
In College Math, showing work demonstrates your reasoning process and helps instructors identify where misunderstandings occur—partial credit often depends on it. More importantly, writing out steps forces you to organize your thinking and catch errors before they compound. A tutor can help you develop clear mathematical communication: explaining why you chose a method, labeling steps logically, and justifying your reasoning. This habit builds deeper understanding and prepares you for upper-level courses where conceptual clarity matters more than computational speed.
Multi-step equations require maintaining order of operations, tracking variables across steps, and avoiding algebraic errors that compound—one mistake early on ruins the entire solution. Common pitfalls include distributing incorrectly, losing negative signs, or forgetting to apply operations to both sides of an equation. A tutor can slow down the process, help you check your work at each stage, teach you to estimate what a reasonable answer looks like, and build pattern recognition so you spot your typical errors before they happen. This develops both accuracy and mathematical confidence.
Math anxiety often stems from past struggles, rushed learning, or feeling lost in class—and it genuinely impairs your ability to access knowledge you actually have. A tutor creates a low-pressure environment where you can ask questions without judgment, work through problems at your own pace, and gradually build confidence through small wins. By understanding concepts deeply rather than memorizing procedures, you develop a sense of control and mastery. Regular practice with feedback also reduces test anxiety because you've solved similar problems before and know you can handle them.
Yes—different textbooks emphasize different approaches (some focus on graphing first, others on algebra), and your professor may have specific expectations about notation, proof style, or problem-solving methods. A tutor familiar with your course can align instruction with what your professor expects, help you navigate your textbook effectively, and ensure you're building skills in the order your course requires. When connecting with a tutor, sharing your syllabus and textbook information helps ensure you get support tailored to your exact course structure.
