Between his mechanical engineering undergrad and current grad work, Aaron has solved thousands of equations that all depend on the same core skills pre-algebra introduces — manipulating expressions, working with signed numbers, and translating real-world problems into mathematical language. He score...

Most students who say they 'hate math' actually hit a specific wall somewhere in pre-algebra — usually fractions, signed numbers, or the leap into expressions with variables — and Reid is unusually good at diagnosing exactly where that breakdown happened. His PhD in Education and sociology backgroun...

Getting comfortable with integers, fractions, and order of operations now makes every future math class easier — Pre-Algebra is genuinely the foundation everything else sits on. Michelle breaks down each concept with clear, step-by-step reasoning, drawing on the same methodical thinking that carried...

Having directed tutors at a Boston charter middle school while earning her Master's in Special Education, Liz has seen exactly where students with different learning profiles get tripped up during the leap from arithmetic to algebraic thinking — especially around fraction operations and signed numbe...

Getting the fundamentals right in pre-algebra — integer operations, order of operations, basic properties of fractions and ratios — determines how smoothly everything from algebra through calculus will go. Charles approaches these building blocks with the precision of an engineering student who know...

Having a PhD in Computational Mathematics means Justin built everything on the same bedrock pre-algebra covers — integer operations, fraction fluency, and the leap from arithmetic into expressions and variables. He's spent years tutoring introductory students and knows how to trace a stumbling point...

Daniel's 1500 SAT score means the arithmetic and early algebraic reasoning at the heart of pre-algebra — integer operations, fraction fluency, translating words into expressions — are skills he's already proven under pressure. His sociology background also gives him a different angle: he's used to t...

Having TA'd math courses at MIT and taught gifted middle schoolers at summer programs, Isabella has seen the exact moment pre-algebra clicks — when a student stops treating variables as mysterious letters and starts reading them as placeholders they can manipulate. Her math degree and current PhD wo...

Growing up bilingual in Cantonese and Mandarin trained Ingrid to switch between symbol systems naturally — a skill she brings to teaching students how to read and manipulate variables, expressions, and signed numbers for the first time in pre-algebra. Her biomedical engineering coursework at Northwe...

After scoring a 35 ACT and completing her political science degree at the University of Chicago — where quantitative reasoning underpins policy analysis and statistical argumentation — Asta brings a practical fluency to the foundational math that pre-algebra covers. She's especially effective at dem...

Andrew's PhD in Biomedical Engineering means he's spent years relying on the exact proportional reasoning and equation-building skills that pre-algebra introduces — and his physics undergrad ensures he can trace every concept back to its logical foundation. He teaches across math from middle school ...

Sam's PhD in Statistics and biomedical engineering degree both required building fluency in algebraic reasoning from the ground up — and that process starts in pre-algebra, where students first learn to translate real situations into expressions and equations. He uses that engineering instinct for s...

Emily's biology coursework at Yale — from molecular genetics to developmental bio — meant constantly translating real-world processes into mathematical relationships, and that translation skill is exactly what clicks for students navigating their first encounter with variables and expressions. She e...

Every concept in pre-algebra — integers, fractions, order of operations, basic variable manipulation — becomes the scaffolding for years of math ahead. Brian approaches these building blocks with the kind of precision and patience that comes from someone who went on to study math-heavy disciplines a...

Getting comfortable with integers, fractions, and order of operations now pays off for years — these are the building blocks that every math course afterward depends on. Akarsh breaks down each Pre-Algebra concept step by step, connecting arithmetic rules to the algebraic thinking students will need...
