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
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.

Quinn
Calculus Tutor • +17 Subjects
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.

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!
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
College math in French requires students to master both mathematical concepts and specialized French terminology simultaneously—vocabulary like "équation quadratique," "dérivée," and "matrice" that doesn't always translate intuitively from English. Many students struggle when they understand the math conceptually but get tripped up by French phrasing in word problems, or conversely, they know the French words but haven't connected them to the underlying mathematical ideas. A tutor experienced in bilingual math instruction can help bridge this gap by explicitly teaching the vocabulary alongside the procedures, ensuring students build confidence in both languages.
College math demands more than following steps—it requires seeing why methods work and how concepts connect. A tutor can guide you through the reasoning behind formulas (for example, why the chain rule in calculus works the way it does) and help you recognize patterns across topics, like how limits, derivatives, and integrals relate. By asking strategic questions and having you explain your thinking in French, a tutor helps you develop the conceptual understanding that makes new topics easier to learn and prevents you from getting stuck when a procedure doesn't immediately apply.
French word problems require a two-step mental shift: first, parse the French language carefully to extract the mathematical information, then set up and solve the problem. Effective tutors teach a structured strategy—reading the problem multiple times, identifying what you're asked to find, listing known quantities, and translating the scenario into mathematical notation before solving. Working through problems this way in French helps you slow down, avoid careless errors, and build the language precision that's essential for college-level coursework where small misreadings can lead to entirely wrong solutions.
Graphing is a universal language in math, but understanding the French terminology for describing graphs—"croissant" (increasing), "concave," "asymptote"—is crucial for college work. A tutor can help you connect visual representations with French descriptions, so when you see a curve, you can articulate what's happening mathematically in French and vice versa. This skill is especially important for calculus and precalculus, where you need to discuss behavior of functions, transformations, and relationships between a function and its derivative using precise French terminology.
Proofs in college math require logical rigor and clear communication—both challenging when working in French. A tutor can teach you the structure of proofs (direct proof, proof by contradiction, induction) while building your confidence in expressing mathematical reasoning in French. They'll help you understand not just how to write a proof, but why each step follows logically from the previous one, and how to articulate your reasoning clearly in another language. This builds both your mathematical maturity and your ability to communicate complex ideas in French, skills that transfer across all upper-level math courses.
Multi-step equations in college math often involve fractions, exponents, and multiple variables—and doing this in French adds a layer of complexity. A tutor can help you develop a systematic approach: breaking the equation into manageable steps, checking your work at each stage, and verbalizing your reasoning in French to catch errors early. By working through equations together and having you explain each step aloud, a tutor helps you build both procedural fluency and the ability to recognize when you've made a mistake, which is essential for success in algebra, precalculus, and calculus courses.
Math anxiety is common, but it intensifies when you're also managing language barriers—the fear of making mistakes in French can compound the pressure of learning difficult concepts. A tutor creates a low-pressure environment where you can ask questions, make mistakes, and build understanding at your own pace without judgment. By celebrating progress, breaking complex topics into smaller pieces, and helping you see patterns and connections you've mastered, a tutor helps shift your mindset from "I can't do this" to "I'm learning this," which is especially powerful when you're working across two languages.
An excellent college math tutor in French should have strong content knowledge in college-level mathematics (calculus, linear algebra, etc.), fluency in French, and experience explaining complex math concepts to bilingual learners. They should understand common misconceptions in both math and language, and be able to adapt their teaching based on whether a student's struggle is mathematical, linguistic, or both. Look for someone who can work flexibly with different textbooks and approaches, since French-language math courses may follow different curricula than English-language programs, and who can help you build confidence in both the math and the language.
