At the middle school level, math starts asking students to think abstractly for the first time: proportional reasoning, negative numbers, basic graphing on a coordinate plane. Eshita is still a student herself, which means she remembers what it's like to encounter these ideas fresh — and she turns that into explanations that actually land with younger learners. Rated 5.0 by her students.

Between fractions, ratios, and early equation-solving, middle school math piles on concepts fast enough that one shaky topic can snowball into months of confusion. Josh's approach is to pinpoint exactly where understanding broke down — whether it's proportional reasoning or coordinate graphing — and rebuild from that specific spot. His science background means he's constantly tying math back to real scenarios that make the "why" click.

Fractions, ratios, and proportional reasoning can feel abstract until someone connects them to problems that actually make sense. William breaks these concepts into concrete steps, building the kind of number sense that carries students through pre-algebra and beyond. His psychology background gives him a sharp eye for where a student's understanding breaks down.

An electrical engineering degree means Judith spent years where getting the algebra wrong had real consequences — circuit analysis, signal processing, and system design all depend on the same proportional and variable-based thinking that middle schoolers are encountering for the first time. She brings that engineering precision to topics like integer operations and basic equation-solving, showing students how each step follows logically from the last. Rated 5.0 by students.

Fractions, ratios, and proportions trip up more middle schoolers than almost any other topic — and Henry tackles these by connecting them to real scenarios students actually care about. His four years of tutoring younger learners, combined with his mathematics background at Vassar, means he knows how to make abstract number relationships click. Rated 4.9 by students.

The jump from elementary arithmetic to middle school math trips up a lot of students because suddenly they're juggling ratios, proportions, negative numbers, and basic graphing all at once. Troy tackles each of these topics by tying them back to concrete examples — splitting a pizza bill, reading a map scale — so the logic clicks before the procedure. His 5.0 rating speaks to how well that approach lands with younger learners.

Fractions, ratios, and proportional reasoning trip up a lot of middle schoolers because the concepts feel abstract until someone connects them to something concrete. Manuel breaks these ideas down using real-world examples — recipes, sports stats, budgeting — so the logic clicks before the formulas even come out. His biology background means he's comfortable with numbers and knows how to make them accessible.

The jump from elementary arithmetic to middle school topics like ratios, proportional relationships, and basic geometry catches a lot of students off guard. McKenna earned her degree in Middle Childhood Education with a focus on exactly this age group, so she understands both the math content and the developmental shifts happening in grades 4-9. Rated 4.5 by students.

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 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 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.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
