Aaron
From pre-algebra fundamentals through Calculus 2, Aaron covers the full math pipeline and knows exactly where the common stumbling blocks sit — fractions-to-ratios in middle school, the abstraction jump in algebra, and the conceptual leap into limits and integration. His mechanical engineering grad ...

Mimi
Mimi approaches math through an inquiry-based lens shaped by her Harvard Ed.M., asking students to reason through problems rather than memorize procedures. Whether the topic is fractions, proportional reasoning, or early algebra concepts, she designs each session around the specific gaps a student b...

Plenty of students decide early that they're "not math people" — Reid specializes in dismantling that belief. His approach connects abstract procedures to concrete reasoning, whether that means visualizing fractions on a number line or tracing why order of operations works the way it does, so that c...

Liz
Years of teaching middle school math at a Boston charter school gave Liz a toolbox of ways to break down fractions, ratios, proportions, and early algebraic thinking so they actually click. She's especially skilled at identifying where a student's understanding breaks down and rebuilding from that e...

Christopher
Mechanical engineering at Harvard means Christopher lives in math daily — calculus, trigonometry, and algebra aren't abstract exercises for him but tools he uses to model physical systems and solve design problems. That applied perspective lets him show students exactly where a concept like derivati...
Harvard College
Bachelor of Science, Mechanical Engineering
Certified Tutor
Charles
From pre-algebra fundamentals to multivariable calculus, Charles covers a wide range of math and genuinely prefers teaching it through real-world application problems — figuring out rates of change in a physical system or modeling a trajectory rather than grinding through decontextualized drills. Hi...

Michelle
From simplifying fractions in pre-algebra to tackling derivatives in calculus, Michelle covers the full math pipeline and knows where the common stumbling blocks are at each level. Her biochemistry training at Rice required heavy quantitative coursework, so she's comfortable connecting abstract math...

Solange
Solange approaches math as a subject that rewards structured thinking over speed, breaking problems into logical steps students can follow and eventually internalize. Her 34 ACT composite reflects sharp quantitative reasoning, and she applies that same methodical approach to arithmetic, pre-algebra,...

Justin
Few tutors can teach pre-algebra and multivariable calculus with equal clarity, but Justin's math background runs from a double bachelor's in physics and mathematics through a PhD in Computational Mathematics at the University of Chicago. He pinpoints exactly where a concept breaks down for a studen...

Elena
Elena's approach to math leans on her test-prep background, where she learned that most students don't struggle with the concepts themselves — they struggle with translating word problems into equations or recognizing which technique a question is really asking for. She teaches pattern recognition a...

Ingrid
Biomedical engineering at Northwestern means Ingrid lives in math daily — calculus for modeling drug delivery kinetics, statistics for analyzing lab data, trigonometry for signal processing — so she teaches these topics as interconnected tools rather than isolated chapters. Her research experience i...

Henry
Not every math tutor comes from a pure math background, and that's sometimes an advantage — Henry explains concepts like proportional reasoning, basic algebraic manipulation, and word problem setup the way a fellow student would, without skipping the intuitive steps that textbooks leave out. His 153...
