Having studied both speech and hearing science and medicine, Li understands how people process and internalize new information — a skill that translates directly to teaching fraction operations, variable manipulation, and equation basics to students who need a fresh start. She breaks each concept into manageable pieces, checking comprehension at every step before moving forward.

Five years analyzing investments at a wealth management firm meant Neil lived in spreadsheets full of equations, percentages, and variable-dependent models — the same core skills developmental algebra is designed to lock in. He's especially good at showing students how solving for an unknown or simplifying an expression connects to straightforward, real-world reasoning rather than abstract rules. Rated 5.0 by students.

A Dartmouth neuroscience graduate, Arianna understands how the brain builds (and loses) mathematical connections — which makes her especially effective at diagnosing why a concept like simplifying expressions or working with signed numbers didn't stick the first time around. She retracks each skill to the exact point where understanding broke and rebuilds from there, using structured repetition that's informed by how memory and learning actually work. Rated 4.8 by students.

Starting over with math fundamentals takes a tutor who won't rush past the gaps. Tim breaks down core concepts like integer operations, order of operations, and basic equation-solving into small, concrete steps, building each idea from something the student already understands. His 5.0 rating speaks to the patience and clarity he brings to every session.

As a medical student who's spent years tutoring grades 7–12, Tarif knows that most developmental algebra struggles trace back to one or two specific breakdowns — maybe it's distributing negatives, maybe it's setting up an equation from a word problem. He uses constant questioning and visual diagrams to keep students actively working through each step rather than passively watching someone else solve it. Rated 5.0 by students.

Nine years in financial services gave Felice a practical fluency with the exact skills developmental algebra covers — manipulating variables, working with fractions, and setting up equations to model real situations like budgets and loan calculations. She pairs that real-world grounding with an English minor's knack for clear explanation, making abstract notation feel less like a foreign language. Her approach is especially effective for students who need to see *why* a rule works before they'll trust it.

I am listening to and learning about him or her as an individual. I can also discover what motivates the student during this conversation and plan for how to frame future tutoring sessions in terms of what the student already knows and enjoys.

Before tackling calculus and college algebra, Hannah spent years as an ESL tutor — an experience that taught her how to explain ideas multiple ways until one clicks, which is exactly what developmental algebra demands when a student is stuck on signed numbers or basic equation setup. Her arts degree with a philosophy minor trained her to think in logical sequences, a skill she applies to walking through each algebraic step with enough context that the reasoning holds, not just the answer.

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'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 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.
