serving Kennewick, WA

While Alex's primary expertise is in English and writing, a 1560 SAT score reflects genuine comfort with mathematical reasoning. Alex is well-suited for students who need support with foundational math concepts — arithmetic, pre-algebra, and the kind of quantitative thinking that shows up on standardized tests.

Holding two degrees in mathematics and currently teaching at Washington State University Vancouver, Moayad covers everything from basic arithmetic reasoning through algebra and into calculus-level thinking. He pinpoints exactly where a concept breaks down for a student — whether it's fraction operations, order of operations, or translating word problems into equations — and rebuilds understanding from that point.

Stanford-trained in mathematics, Najja covers everything from elementary arithmetic through calculus and enjoys showing students why a formula works before asking them to use it. His approach to teaching properties and operations emphasizes application — once a student sees how an identity solves a real problem, the memorization takes care of itself.

Engineering math and classroom math share the same building blocks — fractions, algebraic reasoning, graphing — but Helen knows exactly where each concept leads because she uses them daily in her biomedical engineering program at Johns Hopkins. She digs into the specific step where a student gets stuck, whether that's setting up word problems, manipulating negative numbers, or transitioning from arithmetic to algebraic thinking. That diagnostic approach is why students rate her 4.8 out of 5.

Every math topic Alice teaches — from elementary arithmetic through calculus — she treats like a puzzle with multiple valid solution paths, and she'll walk a student through several until one clicks. Her biology coursework in the Leadership in Medicine program at Union College keeps her fluent in applied quantitative reasoning, so she naturally connects abstract procedures to concrete problems. Rated 5.0 by students, with a 1550 SAT to back up the range.

Art history might seem distant from math, but Moses's Yale coursework demanded precise visual analysis and systematic reasoning — skills that map directly onto organizing multi-step calculations and interpreting quantitative relationships. He's particularly good at reframing a problem when a student's first approach isn't clicking, drawing on the same adaptability that made him effective across HR, admissions coaching, and test prep. Rated 5.0 by students.

From pre-algebra through real analysis, Cory has taught nearly every level of math on the map — and that range means he knows exactly where common gaps hide. He's especially effective at connecting earlier concepts to later ones, showing a struggling calculus student, for instance, that the real issue might be a shaky grasp of function behavior from algebra. Rated 4.9 by students.

Years of teaching English across grades 6 through AP gave Marie a deep instinct for where students lose the thread in sequential reasoning — a skill that applies just as well to solving equations as it does to parsing a complex sentence. She's particularly effective at helping students decode word problems, pulling apart the language to find the math hiding inside. Rated 5.0 by students.

From algebraic manipulation through multivariable calculus, Maria's applied math major at UCLA means she isn't just familiar with these topics — she uses them every day. She's particularly effective at showing students the connective thread between concepts, like how the slope intuition from algebra evolves into derivatives and then into gradient vectors.

From pre-algebra fundamentals through calculus and competition-level problem solving, Clare's BS in Mathematics gives her the range to teach math as a connected discipline rather than a series of isolated procedures. She's particularly good at showing why a technique works — explaining, for instance, how the distributive property underlies both basic factoring and polynomial long division. That conceptual grounding makes each new topic easier to absorb.

From fraction operations in elementary school to function analysis in high school, Xiansheng covers the full math pipeline and knows exactly where common gaps hide. His biology degree required heavy quantitative coursework through calculus, so he connects abstract math concepts to concrete problem-solving rather than letting students rely on rote steps. Rated 4.7 by students.

From fraction operations in elementary school to limits in calculus, Chica covers the full math pipeline and knows exactly where the conceptual gaps tend to hide. Her quantitative economics background means she can show students why a technique matters — connecting, say, slope to rate of change to real modeling problems — instead of just drilling procedures.

Elizabeth approaches math by connecting abstract procedures to the reasoning behind them — whether that's breaking down fraction operations, working through proportional relationships, or setting up equations from word problems. Her dual English-Spanish background means she's especially skilled at explaining mathematical language clearly to students who struggle with how problems are worded.

Environmental science is surprisingly math-heavy — modeling pollution dispersion, calculating exposure thresholds, running statistical analyses on health data — and Kourtney's graduate work in Environmental Systems and Human Health keeps her immersed in that applied quantitative thinking daily. She's especially good at showing students how to set up and solve problems involving rates, proportions, and unit conversions, since those are tools she uses constantly in her own research. Rated 5.0 by students.

From fraction operations in elementary school to derivatives in calculus, Avalon has tutored math across a wide age range and knows where the conceptual gaps tend to hide. She's especially good at catching the small misunderstandings — like confusing rate of change with total change — that snowball into bigger problems later.

Fractions, decimals, and early algebraic thinking are where math either starts clicking or starts feeling impossible — and the difference usually comes down to whether someone explains the *why* behind each step. Tsering has tutored elementary through high school math and knows exactly where middle schoolers tend to get tripped up, from integer operations to proportional reasoning. She builds each concept visually before moving to abstract notation.

From elementary arithmetic through calculus, Angela covers a wide math spectrum — but what sets her apart is translating abstract procedures into something concrete. Whether a student is struggling with long division or hitting a wall with derivatives, she unpacks the reasoning behind each step so the method makes sense instead of feeling like a memorized recipe. Her 1500 SAT and 33 ACT back up her own quantitative chops.

Grant tutors math across a wide range, from elementary arithmetic through algebra and into calculus, and his 1530 SAT confirms he's comfortable with quantitative reasoning. He's especially good at translating word problems into equations — the step where most students get stuck — by teaching a consistent setup method that works whether the problem involves rates, percentages, or geometry.

Whether a student is struggling with fractions or working through multi-step word problems, Jon adapts his explanations to match how that person thinks. His aviation training requires constant applied math — unit conversions, rate problems, spatial reasoning — so he's comfortable connecting abstract concepts to situations that make intuitive sense.

From long division to linear equations, Madyson approaches math by making sure students understand the reasoning behind each step rather than just mimicking a procedure. Her biochemistry background means she's comfortable across arithmetic, pre-algebra, and applied problem-solving, and she's especially good at translating word problems into equations students can actually set up on their own.

One thing Daniel figured out leading calculus review sessions for 200+ students at Stevens: most math struggles come from intimidation, not inability. He strips away that pressure and zeroes in on the specific operation causing trouble — whether it's fraction arithmetic, proportional reasoning, or translating word problems into equations. His approach builds real number sense that carries forward into harder courses.

I developed a strong interest in mathematics after high school, when Algebra 1 showed me the value of learning concepts step by step. I graduated from the University of Washington with a BA in Music Education, a minor in Music, and a K-12 Teaching Certificate, while also completing college-level coursework in Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Pre-Calculus. Later, I returned to school for mathematics certification and went on to teach math from 4th through 12th grade during a twenty-three-year career in public education. I hold a current Washington Teaching Certificate in K-12 Choral Music and 4-12 Mathematics. For the past six years, I have focused exclusively on online math instruction, helping students with coursework, test preparation, and confidence-building through clear, logical explanations.

I'm a tutor who loves the moment when a concept finally clickswhether that's solving a calculus problem or debugging a first Python script. With experience teaching math from elementary to college level and professional training in full-stack development, I help students build confidence alongside competence in both math and programming. At Mathnasium, I worked with groups of 4-6 students at different levels, learning to adapt quickly to different learning styles. I bring that same flexibility to teaching HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, and other programming languages. I don't just give answersI guide students to discover solutions themselves because that's what sticks. Whether it's explaining why a for-loop isn't working, walking through derivatives, preparing for the SAT, or building a first web page, I focus on understanding over memorization. I'm patient but direct, and I adjust my approach based on what's actually working for each student. My goal is simple: make learning feel achievable, not intimidating, and give students tools they can use long after our sessions end.

A University of Chicago graduate with a 1530 SAT and 35 ACT, Asta brings sharp quantitative instincts to math topics from fractions and ratios through functions and graphing. She breaks problems into logical steps so students see the reasoning behind each procedure, not just the answer.

From pre-algebra fundamentals through calculus and linear algebra, Jai's engineering background means he's used every branch of math students typically encounter — and used it under pressure. He's especially sharp at showing why a technique works, not just demonstrating the steps, so that students can adapt when a problem looks slightly different from the textbook example. Rated on both his 1590 SAT and 35 ACT, his quantitative instincts run deep.

When math stops making sense, it's usually because a key earlier concept — fractions, proportional reasoning, or how variables actually work — didn't fully land. Yu is skilled at pinpointing exactly where that gap is and rebuilding understanding from there. Her Harvard education background means she doesn't just re-explain the same way louder; she finds a different angle that matches how each student thinks.

From basic operations through pre-algebra and into calculus, Daniel covers a wide math range and adjusts his explanations to wherever a student currently stands. He emphasizes translating word problems into equations — a skill that trips up students at every level — because once that click happens, the mechanics become far less intimidating.

While Victoria's primary training is in the humanities, her SAT composite of 1520 required strong quantitative performance, and she tutors foundational math concepts like proportional reasoning, basic algebra, and arithmetic fluency. She approaches math the way an anthropologist approaches fieldwork — methodically, with attention to why each step matters before moving to the next one.

Not every math tutor comes from a pure math background, and that's actually Lauren's advantage — she learned to break down concepts like linear equations and function behavior through persistence and structured problem-solving rather than intuition. Her approach zeroes in on where a student's reasoning goes off track, then rebuilds that specific step until the logic clicks.

While Brittney's primary expertise is in English and literature, she also tutors math and brings the same structured, step-by-step reasoning she applies to literary analysis. Her SAT composite of 1440 reflects strong quantitative skills, and she's particularly effective at translating word problems into mathematical language for students who think more verbally.
