A math minor and daily high school teaching keep Bridget sharp on exactly where algebra students get stuck — whether it's distributing negatives in multi-step equations or translating word problems into expressions. She walks through each concept with enough repetition and variation that the logic s...

When variables, equations, and word problems first appear in Algebra, the biggest hurdle is often translating a sentence into a mathematical statement. Tim tackles that translation process head-on, showing students how to set up equations from scratch rather than pattern-matching to a memorized temp...

I am a graduate student currently working on my Master's Degree in Big Data Systems.

Chelsea approaches algebra as a problem-solving language rather than a set of rules to memorize. When a student gets stuck on systems of equations or quadratic factoring, she follows their reasoning to find where the logic broke down, then builds from there. Her math education background at BYU trai...

A lot of algebra frustration comes from skipping steps or losing track of what a variable actually represents. Ben tackles this by slowing down and making each manipulation — distributing, factoring, solving systems — feel logical rather than mechanical. His 34 ACT composite and Dean's List standing...

The moment algebra moves from "solve for x" to systems of equations or quadratic expressions, many students lose the thread of what they're actually doing and why. Audrey tackles that disconnect head-on, walking through each type of problem until the logic clicks — not just the steps. Her 5.0 rating...

When I was in high school, I remember seeing the joy of my math teachers when they would teach in class. This inspired me to become a high school math teacher. The first step was becoming a peer tutor to my classmates. This lead to tutoring math to college students. Then tutoring students while work...

Equation solving, factoring, and graphing linear relationships form the backbone of every math course that follows Algebra. Dale teaches students to read an equation as a story about balance — what happens to one side must happen to the other — which makes multi-step problems feel methodical instead...

Most algebra struggles come down to one thing: students can follow a procedure but can't set up the problem themselves. Robert tackles that gap directly, teaching how to translate word problems into equations and how to reason about what a solution means. His engineering career demanded algebraic th...

I'm a recent Stanford graduate (Electrical Engineering and Computer Science), and have been working at a major Management Consulting firm for a few years now. I personally scored a 2360 (out of 2400) on the SAT and 35 on the ACT and was successful in gaining admission to several top universities. I'...
