I have enjoyed tutoring SAT and ACT math and science sections in the past and have found students have great success on these stressful tests after seeking out help from tutors like me. In my free time I love watching TV shows with my friends, being active, and painting. I am also a Crisis Text Line volunteer and enjoy taking shifts to help people through difficult times.
Elliott
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +10 Subjects
I am a sophomore at Cornell University in the School of Industrial and Labor Relations (ILR). I graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School as a Law & Society major, and have lived in Manhattan my entire life. I am also an athlete. I'm currently a third-degree black belt in Taekwondo. I also played baseball and soccer competitively in high school. My main tutoring focus is algebra, which I enjoy teaching because it builds the foundation for success in more advanced math courses. My primary teaching experience comes from working as a lead teacher at NORY, a STEM-based summer camp. In that role, I managed classroom environments for children ages 8-12 while delivering inquiry-driven STEM lessons. These included introducing core physics concepts and beginner coding with platforms like Scratch through hands-on maker projects. In addition, I've spent significant time tutoring my younger sister in high school and middle school math. I love tutoring because it's rewarding to see students gain confidence and feel a sense of accomplishment as they improve. My approach is to connect with students personally and create a safe, engaging, and supportive environment where they feel comfortable learning.

Grishma
Middle School Math Tutor • +69 Subjects
I'm passionate about helping students because I've seen how meaningful support can turn uncertainty into confidence. Having excelled academically myselfI graduated in the top 1% of my high school class and completed a rigorous AP curriculum in subjects like Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Calculus BC, English, Economics, and SpanishI know how transformative good teaching can be. I later earned my undergraduate degree from Northwestern University, where I studied Neuroscience, Anthropology, and Global Health. Those disciplines deepened my appreciation for how people learn, think, and connect across different perspectives. Throughout college and medical school, I've tutored students of varying ages and backgrounds in subjects including biology, chemistry, math, and writing, as well as standardized test preparation. My favorite subjects to tutor are biology and writingbiology because it helps students see the logic and beauty behind how living systems work, and writing because it empowers them to express complex ideas with clarity and confidence. My teaching philosophy centers on patience, adaptability, and curiosity. I approach each session as a collaboration, tailoring lessons to each student's needs and helping them build problem-solving skills rather than rely on rote memorization. Outside of academics, I'm passionate about photography and travelboth of which keep me creative, observant, and open-minded, qualities I bring into every tutoring interaction.

Viswanath
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +35 Subjects
I am a bioengineer who has experience working in the biotech startup industry. I received my Master of Science in Engineering in Bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania and a Bachelor of Science degree in Neuroscience from the University of Pittsburgh. While at the University of Pittsburgh, I started to tutor my fellow peers in Engineering Physics I: Mechanics and Engineering Physics 2: Electricity & Magnetism, and it was then that I discovered my passion for tutoring. Seeing a student not only understand physics, but actually enjoy learning about it was easily the most rewarding aspect of tutoring. Their enjoyment led to success and further study of the material, and I was very happy to have contributed to that. From my experiences, I observed that a teaching philosophy based on constant questioning, student participation, and interdisciplinary learning provided the greatest enjoyment and success for students. Relating the material in a manner which the student understands has always been a priority of mine, and combining this approach with a logical, building-block type style has yielded strong results for me and the student. While I do tutor mathematics, usually ranging from Calculus I all the way to Differential Equations, I am most passionate about teaching physics. It is rewarding to see how a student who learns physics understands and appreciates the world around them on a deeper level. In the end, I wish to help students not only learn physics, but also enjoy learning physics, and I hope to spread this appreciation to all my students. Outside of work, I greatly enjoy going to museums, playing and watching all kinds of sports, hiking and other outdoor activities, reading philosophy, and playing guitar.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many middle school students learn to follow procedures without grasping the underlying concepts—they can solve equations but don't understand why the steps work. Expert tutors help bridge this gap by asking questions that guide students to discover patterns, using visuals and manipulatives to make abstract ideas concrete, and connecting new concepts to things students already understand. This deeper understanding builds stronger foundational skills and makes higher-level math feel much less intimidating.
Word problems require students to translate language into mathematical thinking—a skill that takes practice and confidence. Tutors work with students to break problems into manageable steps: identifying what information matters, deciding which operations to use, and checking if answers make sense. Through guided practice with different problem types, students develop strategies they can apply to unfamiliar situations, turning word problems from overwhelming to manageable.
Showing work isn't just about getting the right answer—it helps teachers and tutors understand a student's thinking process, identify where misconceptions happen, and build mathematical communication skills that matter in higher grades. Tutors model clear, organized work, explain why each step matters, and help students recognize that showing work actually makes problems easier to solve and easier to check. This habit becomes invaluable in algebra, geometry, and beyond.
Multi-step equations frustrate many middle schoolers because they involve juggling multiple operations and keeping track of what's happening to the variable. Expert tutors break the process into smaller, visual steps—often using balance analogies or color-coding to show how operations affect both sides of an equation equally. Students practice with scaffolded problems that gradually increase in complexity, building confidence and developing a reliable strategy they can use consistently.
Math anxiety often stems from past struggles, negative experiences, or comparing oneself to peers—not from actual ability. Personalized tutoring creates a low-pressure environment where students can ask questions without judgment, work at their own pace, and celebrate small wins. As students experience success and understand concepts more deeply, their confidence grows. Many students are surprised to discover they can actually do math when they're not rushed or stressed—it completely shifts their perspective.
Yes. Different textbooks and curricula emphasize different approaches—some focus heavily on visual models, others on procedural fluency, and many blend both. Expert tutors understand these variations and can work with your student's specific curriculum, textbook, and classroom approach. This alignment means students get reinforcement that matches what their teacher is doing, making classroom lessons clearer and homework easier to tackle.
One hallmark of mathematical thinking is recognizing that seemingly different topics are actually connected. For example, fractions, decimals, and percentages are different representations of the same idea. Expert tutors deliberately point out these connections, help students organize their thinking with visual tools like concept maps, and revisit earlier concepts when learning new ones. When students see math as an interconnected web rather than isolated topics, it becomes easier to remember, easier to apply, and far less overwhelming.
