The jump from following arithmetic steps to reasoning about ratios, proportions, and basic geometry catches a lot of middle schoolers off guard. Alex brings an engineer's knack for real-world examples — mixing concentrations, scaling recipes, calculating areas — that make abstract concepts click for...

Fractions, ratios, and proportions show up constantly in science and medicine — and Daniel uses real examples from his microbiology and dental science background to make these concepts click for middle schoolers. When a student can see why cross-multiplication actually works instead of just followin...

A Northwestern economics degree means Andrew spent years translating real-world problems into mathematical language — the same skill middle schoolers are building when they tackle proportional reasoning, basic equations, and data interpretation. His 4.9 rating from families reflects a knack for maki...

The jump from arithmetic to middle school math — ratios, proportions, basic geometry, negative numbers — is where a lot of students quietly lose confidence. Lindsey catches those gaps early by connecting each new idea to something concrete, whether it's using cooking ratios to explain fractions or s...

Sixth through eighth grade is when students either lock in the number sense that carries them through high school or start accumulating gaps that compound later. Brodie zeros in on the specific skills — proportional reasoning, negative number operations, intro to linear equations — that make or brea...

I am an Arizona native. Upon graduating from Desert Mountain High School, I attended Rice University and I received my Bachelor of Arts in Kinesiology with a business focus. At Rice I was a student/athlete representing the Division I Owls in track and field. After several years experience voluntaril...

Fractions, ratios, and proportional reasoning trip up more middle schoolers than almost any other topic — Hana tackles these by connecting them to real situations students actually encounter. As a certified teacher with a broad liberal arts background, she breaks down multi-step problems into manage...

Proportional reasoning, basic statistics, and introductory equation-solving can feel like a huge leap from elementary arithmetic. Leah tackles each of these middle school topics by tying them to concrete examples first — once a student sees why cross-multiplication works, the procedure sticks instea...

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'...

I am a licensed physician from Florida who is currently changing careers. I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2009 and have extensive tutoring and editing experience. While a student, I became a certified writing tutor through the Critical Writing Department. Since I completed my writ...
