6th Grade math Tutor • +77 Subjects
I am a Senior in college at Cedarville University currently studying civil engineering. I have taken up through Calculus 3 along with Physics 1& 2, Statistics, Geometry, Trigonometry, Precalculus, and Algebra. I also received an excellent score on the SAT after many stressful hours of studying. I understand the pressure that comes with the exam and would love to help alleviate some of that. I love tutoring students as I have already done so for many years. I hope to one day travel overseas and help design systems that will transport drinkable water to those in developing countries. Hobbies: reading, music, art, travel, books, swimming, writing
Austin
AP Statistics Tutor • +42 Subjects
I'm passionate about helping students because I enjoy mathematics and like to put my interest to good use. I tutored middle and high schoolers during my four years of high school, helped students go over tests in calculus, and taught tricks for mental math as captain of the Math UIL Number Sense team my junior and senior years of high school. I graduated from Cypress Ranch High School in 2020 and am currently pursuing a Mathematics degree and Computer Science Certificate at the University of Texas at Austin. I tutor many types of math, and I enjoy them all equally because I like the tricks that can be used in each subject. I approach tutoring as a way to get to know the student and help them where they need it. I like to use icebreakers to make them feel more comfortable, then understand their approach to solving problems and figure out how I can help.

Evan
6th Grade math Tutor • +53 Subjects
I am a first-year law student at the University of Utah S.J Quinney School of Law. I recently graduated Magna Cum Laude from Pepperdine University with my Bachelor's of Arts in Economics. I tutor a wide range of subjects, but I have the most experience working with students in SAT, ACT, LSAT, and AP/college economics. I have a laid-back tutoring style, but I make sure to present the content in the most simplified way I can to ensure students understand the material through guided practice. I have been tutoring with Varsity Tutors for over three years now, and I previously served as the course tutor for several of Pepperdine's upper-division economics courses. In my spare time, I love to watch movies and tv shows, exercise, and spend time with my dogs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Grade 9 marks a shift from learning math procedures to understanding the reasoning behind them. Students move from "how do I solve this?" to "why does this method work?" This includes tackling proofs, abstract algebraic thinking, and multi-step problem-solving where one wrong step cascades through the entire solution. Many students feel the jump in difficulty because they can't rely on memorization anymore—they need to see connections between concepts. Personalized tutoring helps bridge this gap by breaking down the logic behind formulas and problem-solving strategies so students build genuine understanding rather than just memorization.
Word problems require translating language into mathematical equations and then solving them—two separate skills that often trip up Grade 9 students. A tutor can teach students to identify key information, decide which operation to use, and check whether their answer makes sense in context. For multi-step equations, tutors help students develop a systematic approach: isolate variables step-by-step, keep track of operations, and verify solutions by substituting back into the original equation. When students work through these strategies with a tutor who can pause and explain each decision, they start seeing patterns and gain confidence tackling unfamiliar problems.
Graphing requires students to visualize abstract relationships and translate between equations, tables, and visual representations—a big conceptual leap. Many students can plot points mechanically but don't understand what a graph actually represents or how to interpret slope, intercepts, and transformations. This abstract thinking is new in Grade 9, and some students need time and visual support to connect the dots. Tutors can use multiple representations—concrete examples, interactive graphs, real-world contexts—to help students see why graphs matter and how they reveal patterns in data or relationships between variables.
In Grade 9, showing work isn't just about getting the right answer—it demonstrates mathematical reasoning and makes it possible to identify where mistakes happen. Teachers and tutors use work samples to see whether a student understands the concept or just guessed correctly. When students work with a tutor, they learn to organize their steps clearly, explain their reasoning, and spot their own errors. This skill becomes increasingly important as math gets harder, because complex problems require breaking them into manageable steps. Teaching students to show work organized and clearly also builds the habit of self-checking, which reduces careless mistakes and deepens understanding.
Some schools use an integrated approach where algebra, geometry, and statistics are woven together, while others follow a traditional sequence (Algebra I first, then Geometry). A tutor familiar with your student's specific curriculum can align instruction with the pacing, vocabulary, and skill progression your school uses. This prevents confusion from learning a concept in a different way than the classroom teacher presents it. When connecting with a tutor, sharing your student's textbook or curriculum details ensures they can reinforce the exact methods and notation the school is using, making tutoring feel like an extension of the classroom rather than a separate experience.
Math anxiety in Grade 9 often stems from feeling lost, making mistakes in front of peers, or believing "I'm just not a math person." Personalized tutoring removes the pressure of the classroom and gives students a safe space to ask questions without judgment, work at their own pace, and rebuild confidence through small wins. Tutors can identify the specific topics causing frustration and break them into manageable pieces, so students experience success early. When students see that mistakes are learning opportunities—not failures—and that they can understand concepts with proper explanation, anxiety often decreases significantly. Building this confidence in Grade 9 sets the stage for better engagement in later math courses.
Early progress typically shows up in improved accuracy on homework, better organization of work, and fewer careless mistakes. Within a few weeks, students often gain confidence tackling multi-step problems and explaining their reasoning more clearly. Over time, you'll see deeper understanding: students ask better questions, catch their own errors, and start seeing connections between different topics. By mid-year, many students who were struggling show improved grades and are more willing to attempt challenging problems. Progress isn't always linear—some concepts take longer to click—but with consistent tutoring, Grade 9 students typically gain the conceptual foundation they need to succeed in later math courses like Algebra II and Geometry.
