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 to tutor is math because it is very methodical and visual. Having a passion to help others, I am drawn to tutoring for the opportunity to share my knowledge with others. My family and friends have described me as being patient, compassionate, and personableall of the qualities that I believe I bring to my students. Outside of tutoring, I like Notre Dame football, dogs (especially my family's German Shepherd!), yoga, cooking, and reading.

Jake breaks down concepts like place value, basic fractions, and multi-digit operations using relatable examples that keep kids engaged. His 4.8 rating speaks to how well he connects with students across age groups.
Early math confidence shapes everything that comes after, which is why Ema pays close attention to how a student thinks through place value, basic operations, and simple fractions — not just whether they get the right answer. She uses visual models and hands-on strategies to make multiplication, division, and early problem-solving feel intuitive rather than mechanical.
Teaching multiplication strategies or long division well requires more than knowing the answer — it takes patience and the ability to explain the same idea three different ways. Andre pairs that flexibility with a deep mathematical background, so he can spot exactly where a young learner's reasoning breaks down on place value, fractions, or basic operations. His tutoring experience across all math levels means he knows how to make early concepts stick.
Getting multiplication facts and place value to stick requires more than flashcards — it takes someone who can spot exactly where a young learner's understanding breaks down.
