Suzanne
Certified Math Tutor
Suzanne
MS Georgia State University • BA Taylor University
1+ Years Tutoring

Philosophy trained Suzanne to break complex arguments into precise logical steps — a skill that transfers directly to math, where she uses the same structured reasoning to walk through equations, proportions, and algebraic manipulations. Her SAT score of 1560 confirms she can put that analytical thinking to work on quantitative problems. Rated 5.0 by students, she teaches math by asking targeted questions that push students to reason through each step themselves.

Edem
Certified Math Tutor
Edem
BA University of Ghana
3+ Years Tutoring

Whether a student is wrestling with fraction operations in middle school or polynomial long division in high school, the sticking point is usually a conceptual gap hiding underneath the procedure. Edem diagnoses exactly where that gap is — place value, order of operations, variable reasoning — and rebuilds understanding from that point forward. His teaching spans pre-algebra through advanced calculus, so he always knows what's coming next and how to prepare for it.

Michael
BA Rice University • Doctor of Philosophy, Physics University of Michigan
7+ Years Tutoring

A physics PhD means living inside math every day — calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, and everything that builds up to them. Michael connects abstract math procedures back to concrete reasoning, so when a student encounters a new type of equation or word problem, they understand the structure behind it rather than relying on pattern-matching alone.

8+ Years Tutoring

While Skyler's primary expertise is in language and writing, she also tutors math and scored a 1510 on the SAT, which requires strong quantitative reasoning. She's particularly effective with students who consider themselves "not math people" — her background in linguistics gives her a knack for explaining arithmetic, pre-algebra, and foundational concepts in plain, precise language.
