Quinn
Calculus Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.
Sharon
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing
Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

Frequently Asked Questions
Asynchronous development means gifted students have uneven skill levels across different areas—they might read at a 5th-grade level while their social-emotional skills are typical for 3rd grade. This can create frustration when advanced academic abilities don't match physical coordination or emotional maturity. A tutor experienced with gifted learners understands this mismatch and adjusts pacing and complexity accordingly, focusing on intellectual challenge while respecting the student's developmental stage.
Gifted students often set impossibly high standards for themselves and become anxious when they can't meet them immediately. Personalized tutoring creates a low-pressure environment where mistakes are framed as learning opportunities rather than failures. Tutors help reframe challenges as chances to develop new strategies, teach growth mindset principles, and celebrate effort over perfection—reducing the anxiety that often accompanies giftedness.
Beyond grade-level math and reading, gifted 3rd graders benefit from developing abstract thinking, pattern recognition, logical deduction, and metacognition (thinking about their own thinking). They thrive when working with multi-step problems, exploring cause-and-effect relationships, and engaging in Socratic questioning. A tutor can introduce these higher-order thinking skills through puzzles, logic games, and open-ended problems that stretch beyond standard curriculum.
Gifted 3rd graders often finish assignments quickly and become bored or disengaged in a classroom designed for average-paced learners. A tutor can provide enrichment and acceleration tailored to the student's actual learning speed—introducing advanced concepts, deeper exploration of topics, or lateral thinking challenges that keep them engaged. This personalized pacing prevents both boredom and the behavioral issues that sometimes result when gifted students lack appropriate challenge.
Effective gifted tutors understand cognitive development, recognize asynchronous development patterns, and know how to ask open-ended questions that promote critical thinking rather than just providing answers. They should be comfortable with advanced content, skilled at differentiation, and able to recognize when a student is intellectually ready for acceleration versus when they need emotional support. Experience with gifted learners—not just strong academics—is essential for meeting these students' unique needs.
Underachievement in gifted students often stems from boredom, lack of challenge, perfectionism, or undiagnosed learning differences rather than lack of ability. A tutor can identify the root cause—whether the student needs more advanced material, emotional support, or help with executive function skills like organization—and address it directly. Personalized instruction that matches the student's intellectual level while building confidence can reignite motivation and help them reach their potential.
Gifted students often have strong creative abilities and benefit from opportunities to explore open-ended problems with multiple solutions. A tutor can introduce activities like creative writing prompts with no "right answer," design challenges, brainstorming sessions, and exploration of "what if" scenarios that honor divergent thinking. This type of instruction prevents gifted students from becoming overly focused on single correct answers and helps them develop innovation and flexible problem-solving skills.
