Monica
Middle School Math Tutor • +22 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania with a Masters degree in Education and have been an Elementary and Middle School educator for over thirty years. I have worked with students in the inner city, suburbs, Appalachia, and Deep South. I love teaching and children, and have discovered my passion in tutoring students who are struggling in Reading and Math. I have taught children with learning disabilities to read, and coached students with dyscalculia in math and reading. I worked as a principal for the past eight years, so was working with students from Pre-K to 8th grade, coaching teachers, analyzing data, and tutoring individual students in math and reading. I have worked as a national park ranger in the past, so social studies and history are areas of strength. Students that I teach respond well to my teaching style and enjoy working with me. I believe that education is extremely important for children's futures and do everything that I can to help them be successful.

Straley
AP Statistics Tutor • +255 Subjects
I hold a Master's degree from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and a Bachelor's degree from Johns Hopkins University. I tutored GED math for 3 years in college, so I have experience breaking down concepts for students with a variety of learning styles. I've also informally tutored other students in my math and science classes. My favorite part of working with students is seeing people's faces light up when they understand a tough concept. In my free time, I enjoy reading, walking, dancing, and listening to music.

I am an Ivy-league graduate (Princeton summa cum laude) and an editor for an academic publishing press. I have years of experience teaching and mentoring at the university level (University of Notre Dame), and I've also tutored students in chemistry, math, the arts, and humanities from elementary school through high school. I've worked and lived in over seven different countries with international colleagues and I'm very understanding of different cultural backgrounds. I fell in love with teaching years ago while serving as a librarian for children and teens, and I enjoy working with students to reach their full potential.
Patrick
Middle School Math Tutor • +76 Subjects
I am a retired teacher who tutors and writes and who has had decades of success motivating and preparing people for a range of tests and tasks. I also walk/jog 50-plus miles a week, do yoga, and exercise my critical thinking skills regularly. My students since 1979 have ranged from middle school urban and rural to university level juniors and seniors. While I spent almost ten years teaching higher ed. English Composition, Literature, and Research, the majority of my teaching time was in college preparatory curricula. I make a room comfortable when I come in but if it needs energized, I energize it.

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.
