Award-Winning Middle School Tutors
serving Bronx, NY

Devon's African Studies master's work requires synthesizing history, literature, social science, and analytical writing — essentially the same mix of disciplines a middle schooler faces daily, just at a higher altitude. That cross-disciplinary fluency means he can move from unpacking a math concept to strengthening a paragraph's argument without treating them as separate skills, because at this level, they're really not.

I'm a rising junior at Harvard College. I study African American Studies with a secondary in Women's Studies and I am pursuing a language citation in Spanish. I aspire to one day go to business school. When I am not doing work, I can typically be found reading, writing, or dancing.

I am a graduate of UCLA with a major in Physiological Science and a minor in Spanish. This past year, I worked in a third grade math class with City Year New York. I have years of tutoring experience, and I am passionate about learning and working with children.

I am a recent graduate of Washington University in St. Louis and a current first year medical student at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. I began tutoring junior high and high school students in math and science as a freshman in high school, and have continued refining these skills throughout my time in college. I completed the MCAT in March 2017, and still vividly remember the study strategies that resulted in a successful score. My high school students have had great success on the SAT Subject Test in Biology, often scoring in the high 700s on their first attempt. I am available for either in person or online tutoring, depending on the distance!

I am currently a first year graduate student at Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health working towards my Masters in Public Health in environmental health sciences. For my undergraduate, I attended Fordham University and received a Bachelors degree in both biology and anthropology. I know how difficult advanced science and math classes can be on top of other studies, and I am really looking to work through these issues with potential students. I am available for sessions in biology, chemistry, physics, as well as a range of math levels. I am also available for SAT, PSAT, and ACT prep. I have ample experience with academic writing, so I can work with students through many different types of assessments. I know that the subjects I tutor can be frustrating and difficult at time, so I believe in low pressure tutoring where we can delve into the material and move at whatever pace the student needs.

I am a Mount Holyoke College graduate with a degree in Neuroscience and Philosophy. As an alum of a liberal arts institution, I have gained a passion for teaching from previous my mentors and experiences. Therefore, I would like to use this platform to support young students in their academic goals and endeavors. I have 6+ years of experience tutoring in STEM and Humanities from grades K-12. I also have experience tutoring in college level Biology and Chemistry classes. As a NYC native, and a Bronx High School of Science graduate I understand that students are constantly under pressure and competition. My goal is to make sure students understand and believe in their own prowess while continuing to improve their skills and capacities. I hope that we will have an opportunity to work together in the future!

I am from Phoenix, Arizona but currently live in New York as a student at Fordham University. I am a Philosophy major with a passion for learning and creativity. I have experience tutoring in pre-algebra, Latin, and SAT prep. I have taken the SAT three times, the PSAT three times, and three SAT subject tests. I am extremely familiar with the layout of the SAT and how to coach students in studying and test-taking techniques. I believe in setting a strong foundation of knowledge for students to build off of in every subject they approach. I look forward to helping students become the best they can be through engaging lessons made specifically for each individual.

I am currently enrolled as an applied accounting and finance major at the Fordham Gabelli School of Business where I'm taking business statistics and calculus classes alongside writing and economics classes. In my free time, I watch tons of basketball and football and love action movies.

I am a fourth year medical student at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, with a Bachelors in Neuroscience from WashU, with over 10 years of tutoring experience. I have tutored students in middle and high school science, math, and english classes and have tutored college students in calculus classes. I am also a college and pre-med advisor, and have successfully advised over 15 students in their medical school journey. I am passionate about working one on one with motivated students who are committed to improving their academic performance and are ambitious in their goals.

I am well prepared for the lecture. Before I step out of the classroom, I make sure that each student has understood the lecture to the best of his/her capacity. The ability to motivate students and stimulate their desire to learn is a critical quality of a talented teacher. Every student has different background, ability, and motivation. Identifying each student's need is essential for helping reach his/her potential. My teaching objective is to promote critical thinking, effective use of scientific information, asking relevant questions and approaching these questions in a methodological way, and working in a collaborative manner. To ease the learning process, it is essential to use multimedia and Internet resources as complementary tools for traditional blackboard and chalk teaching.

Neurobiology at Penn trains you to think across disciplines — connecting biology, psychology, chemistry, and dense academic reading in a single semester — which is surprisingly close to what a sixth or seventh grader faces when toggling between a math worksheet, a science project, and an English essay in one night. Natalie's Spanish minor and healthcare coursework add genuine range on the humanities side, and her one-on-one tutoring experience in West Philadelphia means she's already familiar with adapting mid-session when a student needs to pivot from pre-algebra to paragraph structure.

Psychology majors learn to read people — and Heather uses that skill to pick up on when a middle schooler is nodding along but actually lost, especially during multi-step math problems or writing assignments where the instructions alone can feel overwhelming. Her own 1550 SAT speaks to genuine academic range across subjects, and her experience tutoring kids who get easily frustrated means she's built real strategies for keeping a session productive when patience runs thin. Rated 5.0 by families.

A philosophy degree trains you to read carefully, argue precisely, and write clearly — which turns out to be exactly what middle schoolers need as assignments shift from simple recall to actual analysis across subjects. Dakota pairs that background with a Master's degree and a 33 ACT, covering math through pre-algebra, science, writing, and grammar, and her philosophy training makes her especially sharp at teaching students how to structure an argument or break a multi-step problem into logical pieces.

A pharmacy and epidemiology background means Mona thinks in systems — how one concept connects to the next, how a gap in one area ripples into another — which is exactly the kind of thinking middle schoolers need as they start juggling math, science, reading, and writing all at once. She also teaches Arabic, which gives her a second-language learner's sensitivity to how kids process new vocabulary and unfamiliar structures across subjects. Rated 5.0 by families.

Eight years of tutoring students from fourth grade through high school means Emily has watched the same patterns repeat: a shaky grasp of fractions in fifth grade quietly snowballs into pre-algebra panic by seventh, or a student who could summarize a story perfectly now freezes when asked to build an argument in writing. Her Columbia public health and social work training sharpens her read on what's actually going on when a middle schooler shuts down — whether it's a content gap, an organizational mess, or just the overwhelm of juggling six classes for the first time. Rated 4.9 by families.

Middle schoolers juggle a widening range of subjects for the first time, and Rachael's own breadth — neuroscience, chemistry, psychology, Spanish, writing — means she can support that full academic picture. She's particularly effective at teaching students how to break multi-step problems apart, whether they show up in pre-algebra, a biology unit, or an essay assignment. Rated 5.0 by students.

Candice's University of Chicago English degree and New School MFA mean she's strongest on the language arts side of middle school — reading comprehension, essay structure, grammar — but her Fulbright teaching stint in Taiwan and years as a classroom aide and teaching artist gave her practice adapting on the fly across subjects and learning styles. She's particularly good at helping a student who can think through an idea out loud but freezes when it's time to put it on paper, breaking that translation gap into concrete, repeatable steps.

Middle schoolers often need a tutor who can shift gears quickly — from a grammar worksheet to a history project to math homework — without losing momentum. Margaret's broad liberal arts background and her experience adapting lessons for different learning styles, including students with ADHD and dyslexia, make her especially effective at keeping younger students organized and engaged across subjects.

Three degrees in the arts and economics might seem like an unusual combination, but it means Orlando can move fluidly between helping a sixth grader draft an essay and walking them through pre-algebra or basic data interpretation in the same sitting — no subject-switching whiplash. His economics training in particular gives him a knack for making word problems and percentages feel like real decisions rather than abstract exercises, which tends to land well with middle schoolers who want to know why any of this matters.

Ella's Penn math degree means she can untangle a pre-algebra problem in one breath and pivot to editing a five-paragraph essay in the next — the kind of subject-hopping that defines a typical middle school homework night. She also tutors AP English Language, so the reading and writing support she offers isn't watered-down; she's teaching the same analytical thinking at a level that meets whatever a sixth or seventh grader is ready for.

Between his BS/MD program and years tutoring students in grades 7–12, Tarif has an unusually clear picture of which middle school math and science gaps snowball into high school problems — and he catches them early by asking targeted questions rather than lecturing through a session. His biomedical training means he can connect a sixth grader's life science unit to real anatomy and a seventh grader's pre-algebra to the quantitative reasoning he uses daily in medical school. Rated 5.0 by families.

Cornell's Information Science program forces Ammaar to constantly switch between coding, data analysis, and heavy reading — a compressed version of the same subject-juggling middle schoolers face nightly. His statistics training gives him a structured, step-by-step way of breaking down pre-algebra and science problems, while his writing and reading background means he can pivot to an English assignment without missing a beat. Rated 4.6 by families.

Between AP Chemistry, AP Biology, and anatomy & physiology, Tara's medical-track coursework means she's constantly synthesizing information across disciplines — and she brings that same cross-subject fluency to middle school sessions covering math, science, reading, and writing. She's especially good at teaching students how to actually study: how to break a chapter into pieces, how to self-test, and how to plan ahead when three assignments land on the same night. Rated 5.0 by families.

Shin's engineering coursework at Columbia — heavy on math, chemistry, and physics — maps directly onto the core subjects middle schoolers are tackling, from pre-algebra and fractions to introductory physical science. His 34 ACT composite and 5.0 tutoring rating speak to genuine cross-subject fluency, and his environmental engineering focus gives him real-world examples that make abstract concepts click for a seventh grader wondering why any of this matters.

A history major at Dartmouth who also tutors Latin, English, math, and science, Vivian can sit down with a middle schooler and work through a full evening's worth of assignments without needing to hand off any subject to someone else. Her humanities training shows up most in how she handles the reading and writing side — teaching students to build an argument or pull evidence from a text — but her comfort with math and test prep means she's equally useful when the conversation shifts to pre-algebra or study strategies for an upcoming exam.

Middle schoolers juggle a sudden jump in academic expectations across multiple subjects, and Kellyann covers that full range — math through pre-algebra, science fundamentals, English composition, and social studies. Her background as a Physician Assistant means she's especially strong on the science side, but nine years of tutoring this age group keeps her sharp across the board.

A history degree with a math minor from George Washington University gives Meghan an unusual combination — she's just as comfortable unpacking a reading passage or editing a five-paragraph essay as she is walking through pre-algebra problem sets, which is exactly the range middle school demands in a single homework session. Her year as an AmeriCorps tutor in DC, where she ran an after-school program focused on literacy and academics, taught her how to read a middle schooler's frustration before it turns into shutdown mode. Rated 4.9 by families.

Growing up trilingual in English, Spanish, and Galician gave Andrea an early education in code-switching — toggling between different systems of rules and logic — which is essentially what middle school asks kids to do every day across math, writing, history, and language arts. Her Princeton international affairs coursework means she's comfortable pulling threads between disciplines, so a single session might connect a social studies reading to a writing assignment without treating them as separate silos. Rated 5.0 by families.

Volunteering at the Queens Public Library with elementary and middle school kids taught Avani something textbooks don't — how to read a student's face and pivot when an explanation isn't landing, whether it's a fraction problem or a paragraph outline. Her biology coursework at Siena College keeps her sharp on the science and math side, while years of editing essays and running peer tutoring sessions mean she's just as comfortable untangling a run-on sentence as she is walking through a pre-algebra equation.

A finance degree means Mo spent college learning to synthesize information across quantitative and qualitative domains — reading dense case studies, crunching numbers, and writing persuasive arguments — which maps neatly onto the nightly middle school gauntlet of math homework, a science worksheet, and an English essay all due tomorrow. His 35 ACT and 4.9 rating from families speak to genuine range across subjects, and his economics and writing chops let him handle both the analytical and language-arts sides of a session without skipping a beat.

Between her Spanish degree and her Master's in Urban Education and Leadership, Kierra brings both content range and classroom instinct to the middle school level — she covers math, science, English, social studies, and Spanish, which means one session can handle most of a student's nightly homework without switching tutors. Her education training is specifically geared toward understanding how urban middle schoolers navigate academic transitions, so she's quick to spot when a kid needs a different approach to organizing assignments or breaking down a reading passage. Rated 5.0 by families.

The jump from elementary to middle school math and science catches a lot of students off guard — suddenly they're solving multi-step equations and labeling cell organelles. Jared bridges that gap by connecting new concepts to what students already know, turning abstract ideas like negative numbers or the difference between mitosis and meiosis into something concrete and logical.

AmeriCorps placed Jayla in an under-resourced school where she had to cover multiple subjects in a single day and adapt quickly to what each student needed — exactly the kind of cross-subject flexibility middle school tutoring demands. Her Columbia master's anchors the humanities and writing side, while her longtime love of math means she's just as comfortable walking through pre-algebra as she is breaking down a reading passage or helping a student outline an essay. Rated 5.0 by families.

Engineering students learn to solve problems methodically — break the big thing into smaller pieces, check each piece, then put it back together — and Shreya applies that same logic when a middle schooler is drowning in a pile of math, science, and writing homework all due tomorrow. She covers the quantitative and humanities sides equally well, with a particular knack for connecting pre-algebra concepts to the physics and history topics her students are seeing in other classes. Rated 4.7 by families.

Philosophy and English might sound like a narrow lane, but Naomi's double major actually maps neatly onto what middle school demands — building written arguments, reading critically, and thinking through problems step by step, whether that's in a book report or a pre-algebra word problem. She also covers math and science across these grade levels, and her 1520 SAT speaks to genuine cross-subject range. Rated 4.8 by families.

The jump from elementary to middle school trips up a lot of students, especially when math suddenly involves variables and science expects formal lab reasoning. Jennifer bridges that gap by connecting new concepts back to what a student already understands — turning fractions into algebra readiness, or turning curiosity about weather into structured scientific thinking. Her 4.9 rating speaks to how well that approach lands with this age group.

Middle schoolers are juggling new expectations from every direction — longer writing assignments, heavier reading loads, and the sudden need to organize their own time. Farhin brings structure to the chaos, teaching everything from paragraph development and grammar fundamentals to note-taking strategies that actually stick across subjects.
