Fractions, ratios, and proportional reasoning are the specific middle school topics that predict whether a student will struggle or thrive in high school math. Professor Florence, a UCLA-trained mathematician who teaches at the university level, brings an unusual depth of number sense to these foundational concepts. She makes ratio tables and percent problems feel logical instead of procedural.

Parth's mathematics background means he can trace a middle schooler's confusion back to the exact concept that isn't clicking — whether that's negative number operations, fraction division, or the first time a letter replaces a number in an equation. He teaches the underlying logic behind each rule so students carry understanding forward instead of re-learning procedures every chapter. Rated 5.0 by students.

At the middle school level, math confidence matters as much as math skill — one bad experience with fractions or ratios can snowball into years of avoidance. Hunter brings patience and a knack for finding the specific point where a concept broke down, then rebuilding from there with clear, concrete examples. His 5.0 rating speaks to how well that approach lands with younger learners.

The jump from arithmetic to algebraic thinking is one of the biggest shifts a student makes, and middle school is where it happens. Rick tackles concepts like proportional reasoning, integer operations, and introductory equations by tying them to concrete examples students can visualize. His patience as a lifelong learner — currently back in school himself — means he genuinely remembers what it's like to wrestle with something new.

Fractions, decimals, ratios, and proportions tend to be the sticking points where middle schoolers lose confidence in math. George tackles these by tying problems to situations students actually recognize — splitting costs, comparing stats, scaling recipes — so the reasoning clicks before the formulas get introduced. His 5.0 rating speaks to how well that approach lands.

Fractions, ratios, and early equation-solving are where many students either build lasting number sense or start falling behind. Joseph, a 5.0-rated tutor with a biomedical engineering background, makes these foundational concepts click by walking through problems step by step and checking understanding at each stage before moving on.

Fractions, ratios, proportions, early equation solving — middle school math covers a huge range, and gaps at this stage snowball fast. Jeffrey tackles each topic by connecting it to concrete examples, making sure students understand why a method works before moving to the next concept.

I love math, science, and working with students! I have two Bachelor's degrees one in Chemistry and the second in Biology. I have had experience tutoring elementary, middle school, high school, and college students. I have experience with different learning styles and love to help students understand by making learning easier.

Jenna's master's degree in math education means she's studied not just the math itself, but how students actually learn it — which matters enormously when a twelve-year-old hits a wall with variables or negative numbers for the first time. She zeroes in on the specific spot where understanding broke down, whether that's fraction operations, order of operations, or translating word problems into expressions, and rebuilds from there.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
