Most algebra frustration comes from one place: students learn procedures without understanding what variables and equations actually represent. Tim reverses that by starting with the logic behind each operation — why you can add the same thing to both sides, what a solution set really means — so that factoring, systems, and quadratics feel like extensions of common sense. His tutoring spans every math level through AP Calculus, giving him a clear picture of which algebra skills matter most later on.

The jump from plugging in numbers to manipulating variables is where most algebra frustration starts. Yasmeen tackles that transition head-on, teaching students to read equations as relationships — so solving a system or factoring a quadratic becomes a logical process, not a guessing game.

I'm trying to work on personal projects. I really enjoy snowboarding, and have been doing that since the third grade. I also enjoy playing sports and video games.

I am passionate about helping students because I've been a student my whole life! Even though I'm a professor now, I love to learn. And now that I have experience, I love to help others along the learning journey. I have degrees in English and education from Rice University, UT Austin, Texas State, and Texas A&M. I also studied abroad in England at the University of East Anglia and have traveled to many countries. I tutor English and Spanish (my family is from Mexico City). My favorite thing to tutor is writing, and I have taught writing from the Kindergarten-graduate school (Ph.D.) level (what I currently do). I am here to share tools and tips to help you succeed in your learning journey.

Factoring, solving systems of equations, graphing linear and quadratic functions — algebra asks students to think abstractly for the first time, and that's exactly where many of them stall. Molly tackles each concept by connecting it to concrete examples, drawing on both her Cornell Education minor and years of math tutoring across levels from elementary through GRE Quantitative.

Most Algebra struggles come down to one thing: students learn procedures without understanding the logic underneath. Brian digs into the reasoning behind solving equations and manipulating expressions, so that when a problem looks slightly different from the homework, students aren't stuck. His math minor gives him a depth of understanding that shows up in how clearly he explains even basic concepts like distributing and factoring.

Too many students leave Algebra feeling like they memorized steps without understanding why any of it works — and that uncertainty follows them into every math class after. Justin's entire degree in Secondary Math Education was built around learning how to teach algebraic concepts like solving equations, graphing linear functions, and factoring in ways that build genuine understanding. He's spent three-plus years tutoring this material and knows exactly which misconceptions to look for.

Word problems are where most algebra students freeze — translating sentences into equations feels like learning a second language. Adriana's applied mathematics training means she teaches students to spot the underlying structure in a problem first, then build the equation around it. Her 4.9 rating speaks to how well that approach clicks.

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.
