Between competition math experience and a Stanford cognitive science degree that included heavy quantitative coursework, David approaches math problems by teaching the reasoning behind each step — whether that's factoring polynomials or setting up related rates in calculus. His 1570 SAT speaks to th...

Scoring a 1570 on the SAT required George to master the kind of math that trips students up most — rate problems, function interpretation, and data analysis under time pressure. He applies that same precision to general math tutoring, walking through each problem type until the underlying logic clic...

A math degree from Grinnell College means Audrey doesn't just know the procedures — she understands the underlying logic connecting arithmetic, proportional reasoning, and algebraic thinking into a coherent whole. She spent time in Grinnell's math lab breaking down everything from fractions to funct...

Angela's business and international trade training kept her anchored in applied math — percentages, ratios, unit conversions, and data interpretation all showed up in coursework and real-world projects. She unpacks word problems step by step, teaching students to identify what a question is actually...

Jaya scored a 1530 SAT and 35 ACT, reflecting strong quantitative skills she's continued to sharpen through the statistics and calculus required in her genetics program. She tackles math by connecting procedures to the reasoning behind them — explaining, for instance, why cross-multiplication works ...

Adam tutors math across algebra and calculus and brings a structured, step-by-step approach to problem-solving that works well for students who feel lost staring at a worksheet. His 31 ACT composite reflects strong quantitative reasoning, and he applies that same logical thinking to break word probl...

Before joining Varsity Tutors, Danae spent time at Ramsey Middle School in Minneapolis tutoring 6th and 8th graders through everything from fraction operations to basic equation solving. That hands-on classroom experience taught her how to spot exactly where a student's understanding breaks down and...

Emily's teaching master's and her daily work with diverse learners mean she knows exactly where students tend to get stuck in math — whether it's place value, fractions, or the jump to pre-algebraic thinking. She uses concrete models and step-by-step reasoning to make sure a student genuinely unders...

From basic arithmetic through pre-algebra and into calculus concepts, Katie covers a wide range of math levels and knows where students tend to get stuck — fractions, negative numbers, setting up word problems. She scored a 35 on the ACT, which includes a rigorous math section covering algebra, geom...

While math isn't Carey's primary credential, her experience tutoring algebra and calculus means she knows how to break down word problems and translate abstract notation into language that clicks. She's especially effective with students who understand concepts verbally but freeze when they see symb...
