A neuroscience specialization at the University of Chicago means Emerson regularly tackles the algebraic machinery behind research — exponential decay in pharmacokinetics, logarithmic dose-response curves, and polynomial regression models for behavioral data. That scientific context gives him a concrete way to unpack college algebra concepts like function behavior and equation-solving, so the "why" behind each technique lands alongside the "how." Rated 5.0 by students.

Thirty years in the classroom means Michael has watched thousands of students wrestle with the exact moment college algebra gets hard — usually when logarithmic and exponential functions show up and the rules suddenly feel arbitrary. His molecular biology background keeps that algebra sharp, since modeling gene expression and enzyme kinetics depends on the same function transformations and equation-solving techniques students are learning for the first time.

Most college algebra students don't realize they're visual learners until someone sketches a function transformation instead of just writing the formula — Emily, a working photographer with an MFA from SCAD, instinctively reaches for graphs, diagrams, and visual breakdowns when unpacking topics like logarithmic behavior or piecewise definitions. Her 34 ACT confirms the quantitative skill, and her 5.0 rating confirms she knows how to make it click for others.

Polynomial division, rational expressions, and logarithmic equations all show up constantly in college-level science — Daniel used every one of them throughout his chemistry coursework at the Naval Academy. He breaks algebraic techniques into clear, repeatable steps so students can tackle problem sets independently.

Most College Algebra struggles come down to one thing: students can follow a procedure but can't tell which procedure fits which problem. Leo tackles this by teaching the reasoning behind polynomial behavior, rational functions, and logarithmic relationships so that choosing the right approach becomes intuitive. His Mathematical Engineering training means he's used every one of these tools in practice, not just on a chalkboard.

Most college algebra struggles come down to the same handful of sticking points — logarithmic properties that seem to contradict each other, function notation that blurs together, or word problems where students can't figure out which equation to set up. Danielle teaches across the full spread of math from pre-algebra through calculus, which means she can pinpoint exactly which earlier concept is causing the confusion and patch it on the spot. Her 1460 SAT backs up the quantitative fluency, and her writing background gives her a knack for explaining abstract procedures in concrete language.

Polynomial division, rational expressions, and logarithmic equations all demand a kind of algebraic fluency that only comes from repeated, well-guided practice. Nicholas's quantitative training through a genetics PhD means he uses these tools constantly — and he teaches college algebra as a practical toolkit rather than an abstract exercise.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.

I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

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!
