Matthew

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects

I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!

I'm a first-year medical student and recent graduate from Duke University, where I studied Global Health Determinants, Behaviors, and Interventions. From running a piano program at a nonprofit children's theatre to private tutoring in math, science, and standardized test prep, I enjoy helping my students become confident and self-sufficient learners!

Sharon

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

Charles

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects

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! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

I am a published author who has enjoyed “coaching” our daughter, as she navigated through high school, college and graduate school. I mentor college juniors who are seeking careers in financial services, and I serve as a peer resource to professionals who are transitioning from private industry to the nonprofit sector.

Tony

Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many students learn math as a series of steps to memorize, but real understanding comes from seeing the "why" behind those procedures. Tutors help bridge this gap by asking questions that guide students to discover patterns and connections themselves. For example, instead of just showing how to solve an equation, a tutor might ask "What happens to both sides if we do the same thing to them?" This builds conceptual understanding that sticks around—and makes learning new topics much easier.

Word problems are challenging because they require students to translate real situations into math, which is actually a separate skill from computation. Tutors help by breaking this process into manageable pieces: identifying what the problem is asking, deciding which information is relevant, choosing the right strategy, and then solving. They also teach students to work backwards from answers and to create their own word problems, which builds deeper fluency and confidence.

Showing work is crucial—it reveals thinking, catches errors, and builds the problem-solving habits that matter in advanced math. Tutors emphasize that showing work isn't just for teachers; it's a tool for the student's own learning. When students write out their steps, they slow down, spot mistakes, and can explain their reasoning. This matters especially in algebra, geometry proofs, and multi-step equations where one small error derails the entire solution.

Absolutely. While textbooks may present concepts differently—some emphasize visual models, others use abstract notation—the underlying math is the same. Tutors work with your student's specific curriculum and materials, helping them understand how their textbook approaches a topic and connecting it to their classroom expectations. This alignment matters because it removes confusion when the tutoring explanation doesn't match what the teacher taught.

Math anxiety often comes from past struggles or feeling rushed, not from lack of ability. In personalized 1-on-1 instruction, students work at their own pace without judgment, which reduces pressure and builds confidence through small wins. Tutors also help students see that making mistakes is part of learning—not a sign of failure. When students experience success on problems they thought were impossible, their mindset shifts. Many discover they *are* "math people" once the fear goes away.

Graphing requires translating between equations, tables, and visual representations—three different ways of expressing the same relationship. Tutors make this concrete by working with multiple representations at once: they might sketch a line while building a table of values and connecting it back to the equation. For struggling students, physical tools like graph paper, coordinate planes, or even digital graphing tools help make abstract ideas tangible. Seeing patterns across these representations deepens understanding.

Multi-step equations require students to hold multiple operations in mind and undo them in the reverse order—which is cognitively demanding. Tutors break this down by teaching students to identify the inverse operation needed at each step, and to check their work by substituting the answer back into the original equation. Many tutors also teach students to annotate their work (labeling what they're doing at each step), which keeps them organized and helps catch errors before they cascade.
