Vedant
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +23 Subjects
Hi! I'm an incoming second year at UCLA, working on attaining a B.S. in Physiology and a minor in Science Education. I graduated high school with the IB Diploma. I've tutored math and biology pro bono locally in the Northern Virginia area for almost two years, as I love giving back to my community and honing my teaching skills. My style involves focusing on addressing knowledge gaps and trying to teach in engaging ways rather than just drilling problems!

Both Master(UPenn) & 2 Bachelors(UCI) degree in Education An engaging teacher, turning language learning into a joyous adventure with a sprinkle of patience, a dash of encouragement, and a whole lot of fun!
Alexander
Middle School Math Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am a researcher who graduated with a Ph.D. in materials science and engineering from Penn State University and a B.S. in applied physics from Columbia University. I have found great passion in teaching and mentoring students in physics and materials science, whether through informal educational training activities at the Discovery Space, assisting in laboratory classrooms for undergraduates, or helping students with difficult problem sets for thermodynamics or quantum mechanics. I've seen the best success when students can interact with a complicated concept in multiple ways and pull on their own experiences as metaphors to the system in question - after all, this is part of how science is actually done! Currently in my spare time, I enjoy reading, strategy games, and learning Mandarin.

Molly
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +36 Subjects
Currently I am a graduate student in Stanford University's Master's Program for Human Genetics and Genetic Counseling. Prior to my enrollment at Stanford, I worked as a Genetic Counseling Assistant for Igenomix, a genetic testing laboratory. I graduated from Cornell University in December of 2021 with a BS in Biological Sciences and a minor in Education. As a student, I was a member of a research lab that works with the genetic basis of epilepsy in fruit flies as well as an undergraduate TA for a genetics laboratory course at Cornell. While I tutor a range of subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring biology and genetics, as that is where most of my expertise lies. 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.

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.
