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.

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.

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.

From fraction operations to early function concepts, Winson zeroes in on the specific step where a student's understanding breaks down rather than re-teaching an entire chapter. His own path through calculus and algebra gives him a clear picture of how each math concept builds on the last. He holds a 5.0 client rating.

From elementary arithmetic through calculus BC, Martin has tutored nearly every level of math on the ladder, so he knows exactly where common gaps form — especially around fractions, negative numbers, and the transition to variable thinking. His 4.7 rating comes from a patient, step-by-step style that builds each new concept on what a student already understands.

Mimi approaches math through an inquiry-based lens shaped by her Harvard Ed.M., asking students to reason through problems rather than memorize procedures. Whether the topic is fractions, proportional reasoning, or early algebra concepts, she designs each session around the specific gaps a student brings in. Her creative, learner-centered style is especially effective for students who've decided they're 'not math people.'

From arithmetic through calculus and into graduate-level statistics, Nina has taught math at nearly every level as both a Columbia TA and a private tutor. She's especially effective at pinpointing the exact conceptual gap — whether it's fraction operations, proportional reasoning, or function notation — that's creating downstream confusion, then rebuilding understanding from that specific point.

Plenty of students decide early that they're "not math people" — Reid specializes in dismantling that belief. His approach connects abstract procedures to concrete reasoning, whether that means visualizing fractions on a number line or tracing why order of operations works the way it does, so that confidence builds alongside competence.

Solange approaches math as a subject that rewards structured thinking over speed, breaking problems into logical steps students can follow and eventually internalize. Her 34 ACT composite reflects sharp quantitative reasoning, and she applies that same methodical approach to arithmetic, pre-algebra, and foundational concepts that younger or struggling students need to build confidence.

Years of teaching middle school math at a Boston charter school gave Liz a toolbox of ways to break down fractions, ratios, proportions, and early algebraic thinking so they actually click. She's especially skilled at identifying where a student's understanding breaks down and rebuilding from that exact point — a strength sharpened by her special education training. Rated 4.7 by students and families.

Few tutors can teach pre-algebra and multivariable calculus with equal clarity, but Justin's math background runs from a double bachelor's in physics and mathematics through a PhD in Computational Mathematics at the University of Chicago. He pinpoints exactly where a concept breaks down for a student — whether that's fraction operations, quadratic factoring, or function transformations — and rebuilds understanding from that specific gap.

From basic operations through pre-algebra and into calculus, Daniel covers a wide math range and adjusts his explanations to wherever a student currently stands. He emphasizes translating word problems into equations — a skill that trips up students at every level — because once that click happens, the mechanics become far less intimidating.

Some students need to see a concept drawn out visually; others need to work backward from the answer to understand the steps. Sabira's applied mathematics degree at Johns Hopkins trained her to approach problems from multiple angles, whether that means arithmetic fundamentals, fraction operations, or early algebraic thinking. She adapts her explanations on the fly until the reasoning genuinely clicks.

From algebra through calculus, James has spent years teaching college and high school students to see math as a connected set of ideas rather than isolated procedures. His chemistry background means he constantly ties abstract concepts — like derivatives or systems of equations — back to tangible problems where the math actually does something. That context tends to make tricky topics click faster.

A triple Bachelor of Science holder, Sung has spent years working through math at every level — from proportional reasoning and equation-solving in middle school to the limit definitions and derivative rules of calculus. He breaks problems into smaller logical steps so students can see the reasoning behind each move, not just follow a memorized procedure.

From fraction operations in middle school to derivatives in calculus, Sherry covers a wide math range and zeroes in on the conceptual gaps that cause recurring mistakes. Her psychology training at UChicago also means she's attuned to math anxiety — she knows how to rebuild a student's confidence around word problems or multi-step equations without glossing over the rigor.

Sash's 1560 SAT required serious math performance under pressure, and her Comparative Literature training — constantly analyzing structures, patterns, and logical progressions across texts — gives her an unexpected but effective lens for tackling math problems that demand careful, sequential reasoning. She's especially useful for students who freeze up on word-heavy questions, since parsing dense language and extracting what actually matters is literally what her degree trained her to do.

Pursuing a certificate in Statistics and Machine Learning alongside her philosophy degree at Princeton, Julie brings both computational rigor and clear logical thinking to math at every level. She breaks down problems — whether it's fraction operations or function analysis — into reasoning steps students can follow and replicate on their own. Rated 4.9 by students.

From basic arithmetic through trigonometry and calculus, Matthew covers the full math pipeline and considers it his specialty. His teaching method is deliberate: he demonstrates a concept step by step, then puts students in the driver's seat with progressively harder problems, asking targeted questions along the way to make sure understanding — not just memorization — is happening.

Jennifer's tutoring background spans algebra through calculus, but her real strength in math is translating word-heavy problems into clear steps — a natural extension of her language arts training. She's especially effective with students who understand concepts in class but freeze when facing unfamiliar problem formats on their own.

Maya's ACT score of 34 included the math section, and her tutoring range spans algebra through calculus — but her real edge is that she came to math through writing and the humanities, which means she knows exactly how to translate abstract procedures into plain language for students who don't think of themselves as "math people." She's spent over seven years working across age groups, so she's quick to spot whether a student's struggle is conceptual or just notational confusion. Rated 5.0 by clients.

From pre-algebra fundamentals through calculus and linear algebra, Jai's engineering background means he's used every branch of math students typically encounter — and used it under pressure. He's especially sharp at showing why a technique works, not just demonstrating the steps, so that students can adapt when a problem looks slightly different from the textbook example. Rated on both his 1590 SAT and 35 ACT, his quantitative instincts run deep.

Meghan's 1520 SAT score reflects strong quantitative reasoning, and she applies that same structured, step-by-step thinking when walking students through math concepts like fractions, ratios, and word problems. Her journalism background means she's especially good at translating abstract math language into plain English that clicks.

A chemistry degree from Yale means Zosia has lived inside calculus, algebra, and applied math problems far beyond the textbook — calculating reaction rates, modeling physical systems, and working with logarithmic relationships daily. She connects abstract math concepts to tangible applications so that topics like functions, proportional reasoning, and equation-solving feel purposeful rather than arbitrary. Students who need both procedural fluency and conceptual understanding get both.

A Cornell biology graduate, Josef regularly applies quantitative reasoning to scientific problems — from calculating reaction rates to modeling population dynamics — which keeps his math sharp and grounded in real applications. He breaks down concepts like proportional reasoning, unit conversions, and algebraic manipulation by tying them to tangible scenarios students can visualize. Rated 5.0 by students.

Garrett's triple-major undergraduate path — including biology — meant he couldn't avoid math even if he wanted to: calculus, statistical analysis, and quantitative reasoning threaded through every science course he took. That constant application gives him a practical fluency with concepts like derivatives, data interpretation, and algebraic manipulation that he can translate into clear, step-by-step explanations. His 1530 SAT confirms the fundamentals are rock-solid.

A year as a course assistant in Harvard's math department gave Richard front-row experience watching where students get stuck — whether it's fraction operations in middle school or limit definitions in calculus. He earned a 1600 SAT and 36 ACT, and his approach to math emphasizes understanding the reasoning behind each step so that new problem types don't feel like starting from scratch.

Vivian's 36 ACT composite and 1530 SAT required mastery across every math domain tested — from algebraic manipulation and coordinate geometry to probability and data interpretation. She teaches the underlying logic of each problem type so students can adapt when a question looks unfamiliar, not just when it matches a formula they've memorized. Rated 4.9 by students.

Brian tutored underclassmen in math throughout his time at Stuyvesant, one of the most rigorous math-and-science high schools in the country. He tackles everything from fraction operations and ratios up through early algebraic reasoning, pinpointing exactly where a concept breaks down for a student. His 1560 SAT speaks to the kind of quantitative fluency he brings to each session.

Evan's 1510 SAT required strong performance on the math section, and his film background gives him an unexpected edge: screenwriting is fundamentally about structure, sequencing, and logical cause-and-effect — the same thinking that underpins solving equations and working through multi-step problems. He's especially good at reframing a confusing math question as a narrative with a clear setup, conflict, and resolution, which tends to unlock understanding for students who don't think of themselves as "math people."

From fraction operations in elementary school to limits in calculus, Julia has tutored math at nearly every level, and her Stanford economics background keeps her grounded in how mathematical thinking applies outside the classroom. She uses a Socratic approach — asking targeted questions that push students to identify patterns themselves rather than waiting for the formula to be handed to them.
