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!
Quinn

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

Sharon
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

Frequently Asked Questions
In 1st grade, students are learning both math concepts and Spanish terminology simultaneously, which can feel overwhelming. Tutors help by introducing math vocabulary in context—for example, teaching "suma" (addition) and "resta" (subtraction) through hands-on activities with manipulatives, not just memorization. This approach helps students connect the Spanish word directly to the concept, making it easier to understand word problems and follow directions in Spanish.
Students learning math in Spanish may struggle with number formation, counting sequences, and understanding place value concepts—especially if their primary instruction has been in English. Tutors can identify whether gaps are conceptual (not understanding "tens" and "ones") or language-based (confusion with Spanish number names), then target instruction accordingly. This personalized approach prevents students from falling behind while they develop bilingual math fluency.
Word problems require students to decode language, identify relevant information, and apply math skills—a triple challenge when the language isn't yet automatic. Tutors help by breaking problems into manageable steps: reading for comprehension, identifying what the problem is asking ("¿Cuántos hay en total?"), and then solving. They also teach students to look for key words in Spanish that signal operations, like "más" (plus) or "menos" (minus).
Strong number sense—understanding that 5 is the same whether you count "uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco" or see five objects—is foundational for all future math. Tutors use games, songs, and manipulatives to build this automaticity in Spanish while helping students see patterns (like how counting to 10 repeats in the teens: "diez, once, doce..."). This makes transitions to addition and subtraction much smoother.
Tutors work with parents to understand the specific curriculum and teaching methods used in the student's bilingual program—whether the school uses a particular textbook series or specific strategies for introducing concepts. This alignment means tutoring reinforces classroom learning rather than introducing conflicting approaches. Tutors can also bridge any gaps between English and Spanish instruction if a student receives math in both languages.
Math anxiety in a second language often stems from feeling unsure whether mistakes are math errors or language misunderstandings. Tutors create a low-pressure environment where students can ask questions in Spanish without judgment and celebrate small wins—like successfully solving an addition problem or understanding a word problem. Consistent, positive experiences with personalized instruction help students realize they can do math in Spanish, reducing anxiety over time.
This transition is crucial in 1st grade and requires careful scaffolding. Tutors start with physical objects (blocks, counters, fingers) and Spanish language for what students see: "Tengo tres bloques y dos más." Gradually, they introduce drawings and numbers while keeping the Spanish language consistent. This bridge from concrete to abstract prevents confusion and helps students understand that "3 + 2 = 5" represents a real action they've practiced many times.
Parents don't need to be math experts—they just need to use math language consistently in Spanish during everyday activities. Counting in Spanish while cooking, playing games, or shopping ("Necesitamos cinco manzanas"), and asking simple questions like "¿Cuántos hay?" reinforces both language and math concepts. Tutors can provide specific activities and vocabulary to practice, making home support effective even if Spanish isn't the parent's strongest language.
