Jane

Calculus Tutor • +21 Subjects

I am currently living and working in the city and have always enjoyed learning. I want to be able to help students find their own joy of learning and I believe tutoring can really help them with that. Being able to understand a subject and come to that understanding on your own, with that little "ah ha!" in the back of your head is an amazing feeling. I believe that tutoring provides guidance for students who may need some extra help to get to that "ah ha" moment. Every student should feel proud of his or her work in and outside of school, and I hope to be able to help any student feel that way.

Gabriel

AP Statistics Tutor • +1 Subjects

Hello! My name is Gabe, and I am a master's student at Johns Hopkins University studying Environmental Epidemiology and Biostatistics. I graduated from NYU in 2024 and studied environmental sciences and public health. I learned to have a passion for statistics since I found myself using it in so many of my courses. Statistics isn't for everyone, but I hope to help students expand their knowledge or gain confidence in using it for a class. While at NYU, I worked as a data analyst for a clinical trial and as a biostatistics intern. I am skilled in R studio for statistical and epidemiological analysis. My goal is to help students perform their best by becoming comfortable with the concepts.

Natalia

Expert Tutor

I'm a freshman at the University of Chicago studying Fundamentals and Political Science with a 3.9 GPA. I earned a 36 on ACT Reading and a 35 on ACT English, and I specialize in reading comprehension, writing, grammar, and humanities subjects. I began tutoring in high school and founded an after-school tutoring program to support younger students academically. Through that experience, I learned how to break down complex material, adapt to different learning styles, and help students build confidence alongside skills. As a tutor, I focus on teaching students how to thinkhow to read closely, organize ideas clearly, and approach challenging material with confidence. My goal is to make learning feel accessible and empowering, not intimidating.

I am a passionate problem-solver but patient and flexible with my teaching pace. In terms of tutoring style, I like to prepare a comprehensive review of the topics students are struggling with. I also like to bring in outside resources and review questions that mirror the material so students have more practice to fully master the material.

Alex

Elementary Math Tutor • +26 Subjects

I am a public school reading teacher in the elementary grades. I have a passion for educating young people and guiding them to academic success, either in or outside of the classroom. I have experience as a classroom teacher and a private tutor, in subjects that range from Reading and Writing to History and French. In my opinion, the path to obtaining a good education is formed by hard work, diligence, persistence, and an open mind. I work on a daily basis to instill these qualities in my students and tutees. I also believe that forming meaningful relationships with my students creates an environment in which learning is the goal. In my spare time, I enjoy running, golf, reading, cooking, and spending time with family and friends.

Michael

Calculus Tutor • +23 Subjects

I am a junior at Columbia University double majoring in Financial Engineering and Computer Science. Since high school, I have extensively tutored French students for standardized testing (SAT/ACT). This helped me bridge the obvious language gap whilst breaking down the tests into their fundamentals to better grasp the strategy behind them. I firmly believe in learning-by-doing which is why I encourage all my students to try first before revising their methods and understanding of the subjects. I am fluent in French, Arabic, Hebrew, and English which I believe helps me communicate the very essence of the subject as opposed to a numbered list of tasks which might not help all types of students. In my spare time, I enjoy catching up on the Financial Times, trying my hand at new languages and designing clothing. Hobbies: reading, music, writing, art, books

Sarah

Elementary School Math Tutor • +7 Subjects

I'm a certified K-4 educator with five years of classroom experience in Philadelphia public and charter schools, and I hold a LETRS certification in structured literacy. I currently teach kindergarten and coach literacy tutors across multiple schools, so I know both what good instruction looks like and how to explain it clearly to someone who's still learning. I specialize in early literacy and foundational skills, but I'm equally comfortable supporting elementary students across subjects. My approach is warm and high-expectation: I build genuine relationships with kids while holding them to real standards. I've worked with students across a wide range of needs, including emergent readers and multilingual learners. I tutor privately and love the one-on-one format. It's where I get to be most responsive to what a specific kid actually needs.

Mariana

Expert Tutor

I have been passionate about tutoring since high school, where I began by helping younger students excel in math and science. My love for teaching grew through my involvement with programs like Hatch Tutors in college, where I worked one-on-one with an underprivileged kindergartener to improve their English skills. As a science camp counselor, I had the opportunity to teach children aged 3-12, making complex scientific concepts fun and accessible. Currently pursuing a degree in Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton, I have a strong foundation in math, physics, and chemistry. I enjoy tutoring these subjects, particularly physics and chemistry, as I love sharing my enthusiasm for science. I believe that every student has a unique learning style, and my approach focuses on getting to know my students so I can tailor lessons to their individual needs and interests. I strive to make tutoring sessions engaging and relevant by connecting academic content to real-life examples. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy running and reading, which help me stay balanced and energized. I look forward to helping students succeed by providing personalized and passionate support in their academic journeys.
