I am currently working towards a doctorate in medicine from New Jersey Medical School. Throughout high school, college, and graduate school, I have tutored students ranging in age from elementary school to college freshmen in a variety of subjects particularly math and science. My favorite subject t...

One thing Emily zeroes in on early is whether a student actually understands what a variable represents or is just pushing symbols around — because that distinction determines everything from solving systems of equations to interpreting word problems. She asks targeted diagnostic questions before ju...

When a student stares at a system of equations or a quadratic and doesn't know where to start, the issue is usually that earlier concepts — distributing, combining like terms, isolating variables — never fully clicked. Smriti traces the confusion back to its root and rebuilds from there, which means...

That moment when variables stop feeling abstract and start behaving like tools — that's what Keerthana aims for in algebra sessions. She zeroes in on the transition from arithmetic thinking to algebraic thinking, walking through how to set up and manipulate equations for systems, inequalities, and q...

Breaking down word problems into equations is where Noreen's English-trained brain actually shines — she's skilled at teaching students to translate messy real-world language into clean algebraic expressions. Her approach to topics like systems of equations and inequalities emphasizes reading carefu...

Pre-med coursework demands constant algebraic fluency — rearranging dosage formulas, isolating variables in rate equations, balancing chemical expressions — and Ruby's current path toward medical school keeps those skills sharp and practical. Her College of Letters background also means she's unusua...

Most algebra struggles come down to one thing: students learn procedures without understanding what the symbols actually represent. Anurag digs into the logic behind solving equations, factoring, and graphing linear systems, making sure each manipulation has a clear reason behind it rather than feel...

A clear grasp of algebra — manipulating expressions, solving systems, understanding how variables relate — underpins nearly every quantitative field. Nicole breaks down these building blocks methodically, connecting each technique to a logical framework so students see the reasoning behind each step...

Teaching algebra across two university departments — mathematics and engineering — gives Dilruba an unusual vantage point: she sees where students trained purely in procedures break down when they need to actually apply algebraic reasoning to real problems. Her civil engineering PhD means she teache...

I am a graduate of Columbia University, where I earned a degree in Biomedical Engineering. My academic journey, coupled with my diverse professional experiences in project management, consulting, and teaching, has fueled my passion for education and helping students unlock their potential. Over the ...
