Caitlyn teaches these foundational ideas with humor and patience, adjusting her explanations based on what clicks for each student. She's rated 5.0 and keeps younger learners engaged by making sessions feel more like a conversation than a lecture.
Getting multiplication tables, fractions, and place value right at this stage shapes how a student thinks about math for years. Brittany's experience ranges from tutoring middle schoolers in West Philadelphia to working with college students at Penn, which gives her a clear picture of where early math skills need to be solid — and she makes those foundational concepts stick through concrete examples rather than rote repetition.
Teaching a young learner to think mathematically — really understanding place value, or why borrowing works in subtraction — requires someone who genuinely enjoys the subject at every level. Jennifer brings that enthusiasm to elementary math, turning multiplication tables and basic fractions into ideas kids can reason about, not just recite.
Getting multiplication tables and place value to click for a younger learner takes more than repetition — it takes someone who genuinely enjoys being in the room.

Multiplication strategies, place value, and early fraction concepts all click faster when a student understands the 'why' behind each step. Jessi's psychology background gives her insight into how younger learners process new information, and she uses that to tailor explanations — whether a kid needs manipulatives, drawings, or word-problem storytelling to make a concept stick.
Teaching elementary school every day near Boston means Emily isn't guessing about how young learners think about place value, fractions, or multi-digit multiplication — she watches it happen in real time. She uses multiple representations (number lines, area models, manipulatives) to find the approach that makes a concept stick for each child.
I am currently a senior at Northwestern University and I will be receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Legal Studies this spring. In the fall, I will begin attending law school at Northwestern Law. For many years, I tutored a wide range of students in Spanish, English literature, and writing. I have also continued to help many high school seniors with college application essays. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I am very passionate about helping students improve their reading and writing skills, and I really enjoy helping students with Critical Reading and Writing portions of Standardized Tests. I love working with students and helping them realize their full academic potential. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, exploring Chicago, reading, and cooking.
Building number sense early — understanding place value, basic operations, and simple word problems — sets the trajectory for everything that comes after in math.

Frequently Asked Questions
Getting started is simple—tell us about your child's current math level, specific challenges, and learning goals. Varsity Tutors will match your child with an expert tutor who specializes in elementary math and understands the curriculum used in Raleigh schools. Your first session is a great opportunity to build rapport and create a personalized learning plan tailored to your child's needs.
This is a common transition point in elementary math—moving from just following procedures to truly understanding the concepts behind them. Expert tutors help students see the 'why' by using visual models, real-world examples, and hands-on activities that reveal patterns and connections. When students grasp the underlying logic, they become more confident problem-solvers and can apply their knowledge to new situations.
Word problems require students to extract relevant information, translate it into math, and solve—a multi-step process that trips up many elementary students. Tutors teach strategies like identifying key information, drawing pictures or diagrams, and breaking problems into smaller chunks. With guided practice and feedback, students learn to approach word problems systematically rather than feeling overwhelmed.
Absolutely. Math anxiety is very real, and personalized 1-on-1 instruction in a low-pressure environment is one of the best ways to rebuild confidence. Tutors work at your child's pace, celebrate small wins, and help reframe mistakes as learning opportunities. When students experience success and feel supported, their anxiety decreases and they develop a more positive relationship with math.
Yes. Raleigh's 17 school districts use various math programs and approaches, and expert tutors are familiar with the major curricula used across North Carolina schools. Whether your child's school uses traditional methods, Singapore Math, or another approach, Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who can support your child's specific curriculum and teaching style.
Tutors help students develop the habit of showing work by explaining why it matters—it catches mistakes, helps teachers understand thinking, and builds stronger problem-solving skills. Through guided practice, students learn to slow down, organize their thinking on paper, and check their work. This also makes it easier for you and teachers to identify where confusion happens and provide targeted support.
Yes. Elementary math builds sequentially, so gaps in foundational skills like number sense, basic facts, or place value can make later concepts harder. Tutors assess where your child's understanding breaks down and fill those gaps while moving forward. This targeted approach helps students catch up without getting bored by reviewing material they already know.
Many students show noticeable improvement in confidence and understanding within 3-4 weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the specific challenge and frequency of sessions. Some students need help with one concept for a few weeks, while others benefit from ongoing support to stay on track. Your tutor will work with you to set realistic goals and track progress together.
