Tony

Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

Samuel

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

Matthew

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects

I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!

I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

Charles

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects

I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

Frequently Asked Questions

Verb conjugation is one of the biggest hurdles in 5th grade Spanish ELA because students must juggle multiple tenses (present, preterite, imperfect) while also managing irregular verbs. A tutor breaks this down systematically—starting with present tense patterns, then layering in past tenses once those patterns stick. Rather than memorizing conjugation charts, effective tutors use personalized sentences and stories that help students see conjugations in context, making the patterns more intuitive and memorable.

Classroom settings often don't provide enough individual speaking time, especially for students who need more processing time or feel self-conscious. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction creates a low-pressure environment where students can practice conversation, ask questions without interruption, and receive immediate feedback on pronunciation and grammar. Tutors can tailor conversations to your child's interests—whether that's talking about their favorite books, sports, or hobbies—making speaking practice feel natural rather than like a test.

Many students memorize vocabulary lists for tests but forget words quickly because they haven't used them meaningfully. Effective tutoring uses spaced repetition and retrieval practice—revisiting vocabulary across multiple sessions in different contexts (reading, writing, conversation). Tutors also help students build personal connections to words, create memory associations, and use new vocabulary in sentences about their own lives, which strengthens retention far more than isolated word lists.

Fifth graders often get stuck translating every single word, which exhausts them and breaks comprehension. Tutors teach students to recognize cognates (words similar to English), use context clues, and read for meaning rather than perfect word-by-word understanding. By working through age-appropriate stories, articles, and texts together, tutors help students build confidence reading at natural speed and develop strategies for tackling unfamiliar words without constantly reaching for a dictionary.

Yes—pronunciation is one of the clearest benefits of 1-on-1 tutoring. Tutors model correct pronunciation, listen carefully to your child's speech, and provide specific, immediate feedback on sounds that don't exist in English (like the rolled 'r' or the distinction between 'z' and 'c'). Regular practice with a tutor builds muscle memory for these sounds, and students gain confidence speaking without worrying about being corrected in front of peers.

Fifth graders struggle with Spanish-specific writing mechanics: accent marks (tildes), gendered nouns and adjectives, and constructing grammatically correct sentences. They also often write the way they speak, which doesn't always transfer to written Spanish. Tutors teach these mechanics explicitly through guided writing practice—starting with sentence-building exercises, then moving to short paragraphs and stories. Tutors also provide editing feedback that helps students internalize rules rather than just correct errors.

Language learning is richer when students understand the cultures where Spanish is spoken. Tutors weave cultural context into lessons—discussing holidays, traditions, literature, and current events from Spanish-speaking countries. This approach helps students understand why certain phrases exist, makes vocabulary more meaningful, and builds genuine interest in the language beyond just passing tests. Cultural immersion also helps students see Spanish as a living language used by millions, not just a school subject.

Personalized instruction is built for this reality. A tutor assesses where your child actually is—not where the grade level says they should be—and tailors lessons accordingly. If a student is struggling with present tense basics, the tutor doesn't rush into past tenses just because the curriculum moves forward. Conversely, advanced students can dive deeper into nuanced grammar, literature analysis, or creative writing. This flexibility prevents frustration and keeps students engaged at the right challenge level.
