A Harvard computer science major with an applied math minor, Derek treats math as a toolkit — every concept from fractions to functions has a job to do, and he teaches students to recognize which tool fits which problem. His 1550 SAT score and perfect 800 on the SAT Math Level 2 Subject Test back up a deep comfort with mathematical reasoning across all levels.

Michelle covers math from foundational algebra through calculus, with a problem-solving style shaped by her science training at Duke. She's especially good at identifying the specific step where a student's understanding breaks down — whether that's setting up equations from word problems or applying derivative rules — and rebuilding from there.

From pre-algebra foundations through calculus concepts, Caitlin covers a wide range of math and scored a 1400 SAT that required strong quantitative reasoning. She zeroes in on where a student's understanding breaks down — whether that's fraction operations, proportional reasoning, or interpreting word problems — and rebuilds clarity from that exact point.

Pre-med coursework demands serious quantitative chops, and Manuela built hers through calculus, trigonometry, and the kind of applied problem-solving that science prerequisites require. She breaks down word problems and multi-step equations by identifying what a problem is actually asking before touching any numbers. Rated 5.0 by students, she's especially effective with learners who think of themselves as 'language people' struggling to click with math.

From fraction operations in middle school to integration techniques in calculus, Nicolas covers the full spectrum of math — but his real strength is diagnosing exactly where a concept breaks down for a student and rebuilding from that point. His 1580 SAT and Princeton engineering background mean the underlying logic is second nature. Rated 5.0 by students.

Dalila earned her B.S. in Mathematics, which means she doesn't just know how to solve problems — she understands the underlying logic connecting arithmetic to fractions to ratios to algebraic thinking. Whether a student is struggling with long division or tackling word problems that require multi-step reasoning, she breaks each concept down into concrete, manageable pieces.

Biomedical engineering at UIC meant Apoorva lived in math daily — differential equations modeling biological systems, linear algebra for signal processing, statistics for lab data — so the subject isn't abstract to her; it's the engine behind everything she studied. She teaches the full K-through-calculus range and is especially sharp at showing students how a concept like integration or trigonometric identities actually functions as a tool, not just a textbook exercise. Her 34 ACT and 4.6 rating back up what her engineering background suggests: she knows this material cold and communicates it clearly.

Andrew covers math from arithmetic fundamentals through pre-calculus and calculus, adjusting his explanations based on where a student's understanding actually breaks down. His approach leans on translating abstract procedures into plain language — explaining not just how to solve a system of equations but why elimination works in the first place. A 33 ACT composite reflects his comfort across quantitative and verbal reasoning alike.

Adriana's biochemistry training at Rice meant years of applied mathematics — from calculus to statistical modeling — which grounds her math tutoring in practical understanding rather than rote procedure. She's particularly strong at bridging the gap between arithmetic confidence and algebraic thinking, walking students through how variables and equations connect to problems they already know how to solve intuitively.

While English and literature are Robert's primary strengths, he also teaches algebra and calculus concepts, bringing a methodical, step-by-step approach to problem-solving. His experience breaking down complex texts translates surprisingly well to unpacking word problems and translating real-world scenarios into mathematical expressions.

From pre-algebra fundamentals through multivariable calculus, Lance has the range to meet a math problem at any level — his theoretical mathematics degree means he studied proofs and structures most tutors never encountered. He spent years as a TA and grader for math courses, giving him a detailed map of where students commonly lose the thread, whether that's fraction operations in middle school or epsilon-delta definitions in college. His 1530 SAT reflects the same precision he brings to every session.

As a middle school teacher who also tutors algebra and calculus, Conor approaches math by connecting abstract procedures to concrete reasoning — breaking down word problems, translating real-world scenarios into equations, and building number sense alongside computation. His background in the humanities means he's especially skilled at explaining mathematical thinking in plain language for students who don't consider themselves "math people."
