Fractions, ratios, proportions, and that first encounter with negative numbers — middle school math is where confidence either builds or breaks. As a former classroom teacher who worked with every ability level in Detroit public schools, Rebecca knows how to make these foundational concepts stick by tying them to problems students actually find interesting.

The jump from arithmetic to algebraic thinking is one of the biggest shifts in a student's math life — suddenly there are variables, negative numbers, and multi-step word problems. Ashley approaches middle school math by connecting each new idea to something concrete, drawing on the same problem-solving instincts she developed through her engineering training at Michigan.

Sheyna's special education master's degree trained her to diagnose exactly where a student's understanding is breaking down and rebuild from that point — a skill that's particularly useful when middle schoolers hit the wall between arithmetic and early algebraic thinking. She zeroes in on the conceptual gaps behind topics like integer operations and equation-solving, rather than just re-demonstrating the procedure a student already didn't follow the first time.

Fractions, decimals, and early equation-solving can feel like disconnected rules unless someone shows the thread connecting them. Jonathan approaches middle school math by finding what each student is genuinely interested in — sports stats, music, even superheroes — and turning those interests into the word problems and examples that make concepts stick.

Chemical engineering at the graduate level means Raha solves differential equations and models complex systems daily — so she can trace middle school topics like ratios, proportional reasoning, and basic equation-solving all the way forward to where they actually lead. That big-picture view lets her explain *why* a technique works in a way that sticks, not just *how* to get through tonight's homework. Her experience teaching across age groups means she knows how to dial the complexity to exactly where a sixth or seventh grader needs it.

Fractions, proportions, and integer operations tend to trip students up when the problems get more abstract in middle school — Anthony breaks these concepts down using real-world scenarios that make the logic click. His patient, high-energy teaching style keeps students engaged even when the material feels frustrating.

Fractions, ratios, and proportions trip up a lot of middle schoolers not because the math is hard, but because the reasoning behind it isn't explained clearly enough. Jonah breaks these concepts down using real-world examples — splitting a bill, scaling a recipe, reading a map — so the logic clicks before the formulas come out. Rated 5.0 by students.

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 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 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.

I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
