A Cooper Union civil engineering graduate, Catherine has spent years doing math that actually builds things — calculating load distributions, modeling fluid dynamics, optimizing structural designs. That real-world fluency means she can explain everything from fraction operations to polynomial functions in terms that make intuitive sense, not just procedural sense. She holds a 5.0 client rating.

Law school sharpens one specific skill that pays off in math: reading a dense, multi-step problem and figuring out exactly what's being asked before jumping to a solution. Monique's economics degree from UB built her quantitative foundation, and her legal training added the logical rigor to break down problems where the setup matters as much as the arithmetic. She holds a 5.0 rating from students.

Having built over 100 math practice worksheets from scratch, Robert knows exactly where students tend to break down — whether it's setting up word problems, working with fractions, or making the leap from arithmetic to algebraic thinking. His 1530 SAT score backs up the depth of his own math fluency, and he uses that knowledge to pinpoint gaps quickly rather than reteaching material a student already understands.

I am excited to tutor because I know what it feels like to get stuck and I'm happy to help people who encounter challenges in their studies. Though frustrating, there's something really valuable about these moments when you're not quite getting it. It means that by proceeding slowly and practicing a new concept or strategy you'll learn a new skill that will stick with you even more because it took some work to master. My focus in teaching is in French and, more broadly, language arts. I studied French Literature at New York University because of my passion for literature, creativity, and expression. Learning a new language opens up more than just a new literary world but also lets you tap into another set of human experiences, expression, emotion, history. I think the greatest reward in teaching French and language arts is helping a student connect with a text and gain access to someone else's experience, what someone else thought important enough to write down, and then how this connection can help reframe the reader's thinking - deepening, challenging, or shifting the ways our own thought. Apart from the study and appreciation of literature, learning a language at a linguistic level is invaluable. It promotes human connection, openness of thought, and pushes one's own capacity and diversity of self-expression.

From arithmetic fundamentals through algebra and into calculus, Matthew's physics training means he sees math as a toolkit that should make sense, not a set of procedures to follow blindly. He unpacks the reasoning behind each step — why you cross-multiply, what a negative exponent actually represents — so students carry understanding forward instead of re-learning every chapter from scratch.

Covering everything from fractions and ratios to early algebraic thinking, general math tutoring requires someone who can diagnose exactly where a concept stopped making sense. Laveda traces mistakes back to their root — if a student struggles with proportions, she checks whether the gap is in multiplication fluency, fraction sense, or the reasoning step itself.

Christopher treats math as a language — once a student can read the structure of a problem, whether it involves fractions, ratios, or order of operations, the solving part clicks into place. His business coursework at Macaulay Honors College keeps him working with quantitative reasoning daily, and he brings that practical fluency to every session.

Tatiana covers math from elementary arithmetic through calculus and trigonometry, which means she understands how gaps from earlier years create confusion later. She's particularly skilled at identifying exactly where a concept broke down — whether it's fraction operations, order of operations, or variable manipulation — and rebuilding from that point forward.

Fayad teaches math across multiple levels — from foundational algebra through calculus — which means he can pinpoint exactly where a gap in understanding started and address it directly. Whether a student is struggling with fraction operations, proportional reasoning, or interpreting word problems, he connects each concept to the next so the logic builds rather than feeling random. His 1500 SAT score speaks to the kind of precision he brings to quantitative work.

From fraction operations in middle school to derivatives in college, Liza's teaching spans the full math pipeline — and her biomedical engineering degree means she's used every piece of it in practice. She's especially effective at showing students how a concept they're learning now connects to what's coming next, which builds motivation alongside skill.

From arithmetic fundamentals through pre-calculus and calculus, Olga covers a wide span of math — but her real strength is diagnosing exactly where a concept stopped making sense and rebuilding from that point. Her 1560 SAT score speaks to her own quantitative fluency, and she's especially skilled at translating word problems into equations students can actually set up and solve.

Teaching his own chemistry course at Stony Brook keeps Daniel sharp on the math that underpins science — unit conversions, algebraic manipulation, logarithmic relationships, and basic calculus concepts. He approaches math problems by grounding abstract steps in concrete reasoning, so students understand why they're cross-multiplying or factoring rather than just following a memorized procedure.
