From basic operations and fractions through ratios, percentages, and pre-algebra concepts, Jennifer builds each math skill as a logical next step rather than an isolated topic. Her approach emphasizes number sense — understanding why borrowing works in subtraction or what a fraction actually represents — so students develop intuition alongside accuracy.

From fraction operations in pre-algebra to derivatives in calculus, Dorothy covers a wide swath of math and knows where students typically lose the thread. She zeroes in on the specific step where confusion starts — whether that's setting up word problems or manipulating expressions — and rebuilds clarity from there.
From basic arithmetic through algebra and into calculus, Fady covers the full math pipeline and knows exactly where common gaps form — especially the transition from memorizing procedures to understanding why a method works. He tackles each concept by connecting it to something concrete, so a student learning fractions or proportions sees the logic behind the steps rather than just repeating them.
Will's international studies degree leaned heavily on quantitative reasoning — interpreting economic data, analyzing demographic trends, working through the kind of applied math that makes abstract operations feel purposeful. That background, paired with a 1590 SAT, means he's sharp on everything from algebraic manipulation to the logic behind multi-step problem setups. Rated 5.0 by students.
I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!

Frequently Asked Questions
Math instruction in Long Beach's 8 school districts can vary in approach and pacing. Tutors work with students using whatever curriculum their school uses—whether it emphasizes conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, or a blend of both. During an initial session, a tutor will review your student's textbook, assignments, and current progress to align instruction with what's being taught in class, ensuring tutoring reinforces rather than conflicts with classroom learning.
Word problems require students to translate language into mathematical operations—a skill that takes practice and strategy. Tutors help students break down complex problems into manageable steps, identify key information, and recognize patterns across different problem types. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, students build confidence in their problem-solving approach and learn to check their work, turning a common source of anxiety into a strength.
Showing work reveals a student's thinking process and helps identify where errors occur—whether in computation, logic, or understanding. Tutors teach students to write clear, organized solutions that demonstrate each step, which not only improves grades but builds deeper mathematical thinking. This skill is especially valuable as students progress to multi-step equations, proofs, and higher-level math where conceptual understanding matters as much as the final answer.
Math anxiety often stems from feeling rushed or misunderstood in a classroom with a 24:1 student-teacher ratio. In 1-on-1 sessions, students work at their own pace without judgment, ask questions freely, and experience success on manageable problems before tackling harder ones. This builds genuine confidence as students see their own progress and begin to understand that mistakes are learning opportunities, not failures.
Many students memorize procedures without understanding why they work, which makes it hard to apply knowledge to new situations. Tutors guide students to recognize patterns—like how the distributive property appears in factoring, expanding, and solving equations—and make connections between topics. This shift from procedural to conceptual understanding helps students retain what they learn and tackle unfamiliar problems with confidence.
Graphing and proofs represent a shift toward visual and logical reasoning that doesn't come naturally to all students. Tutors break these skills into smaller, concrete steps—starting with why equations create graphs, or how to structure a proof logically—before moving to independence. With personalized instruction, students practice these challenging skills repeatedly in a low-pressure setting, building the fluency and confidence needed to succeed in algebra, geometry, and beyond.
The first session is a chance for a tutor to understand your student's current level, learning style, and specific challenges—whether that's multi-step equations, word problems, or test anxiety. The tutor will likely review recent assignments or assessments, ask questions about what's working and what isn't, and begin building a personalized plan. You'll leave with a clear sense of where your student stands and how tutoring will help them progress.
Many students show noticeable improvement in understanding and confidence within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, especially when addressing specific skill gaps like graphing or equation-solving. Grade improvements often follow as conceptual understanding deepens and students develop stronger problem-solving habits. The timeline depends on your student's starting point and frequency of sessions, but regular 1-on-1 instruction accelerates progress compared to classroom-only learning.
