Tony
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

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
Fourth grade marks a significant shift from "learning to read" to "reading to learn." Students often struggle with multi-step word problems, transitioning from concrete to abstract math concepts, and managing longer reading assignments with comprehension questions. Writing becomes more complex too—students need to organize multi-paragraph essays and use more sophisticated sentence structures. Many 4th graders also face challenges with time management, organization, and keeping up with increased homework expectations after a full school day.
Fourth grade introduces multi-digit multiplication, division, fractions, and decimal concepts—all foundational for higher math. Students often struggle when they haven't mastered basic multiplication facts or don't understand WHY the standard algorithm works, not just how to execute it. Fractions are particularly challenging because they require students to think about parts of a whole in new ways. Personalized tutoring can slow down and rebuild conceptual understanding, using visual models and real-world examples to make abstract ideas concrete before moving forward.
Fourth grade shifts focus from decoding words to understanding complex texts, making inferences, and analyzing author's purpose. Students read longer chapter books and informational texts, and they're expected to answer detailed comprehension questions and summarize main ideas. Many 4th graders can decode fluently but struggle to retain information, make connections, or discuss what they've read. A tutor can teach specific comprehension strategies like visualization, questioning, and summarization, and work with students on building reading stamina and confidence with grade-level texts.
Fourth graders are expected to write multi-paragraph essays with clear topic sentences, supporting details, and conclusions—a big jump from earlier grades. They also need to write for different purposes (narrative, informative, opinion) and revise their work based on feedback. Many students struggle with organizing their thoughts, expanding ideas beyond a single sentence, and understanding grammar rules in context. Tutoring breaks writing into manageable steps: brainstorming, outlining, drafting, and revising—with personalized feedback that helps students see their own progress and build writing confidence.
The best 4th grade tutors understand elementary curriculum standards and child development at this critical transition year. They should have strong subject knowledge in math, reading, and writing, plus experience explaining concepts in multiple ways—because every 4th grader learns differently. Excellent 4th grade tutors are patient, encouraging, and skilled at breaking down complex skills into smaller steps. They also communicate regularly with parents and teachers to ensure tutoring supports what's happening in the classroom and addresses each student's specific gaps.
Fourth grade homework becomes more demanding, and many students struggle with organization, time management, and knowing when to ask for help. Tutors can teach specific strategies like breaking assignments into steps, checking work systematically, and using resources independently. Rather than just helping with tonight's homework, effective tutoring builds metacognitive skills—teaching students to identify what they don't understand, try different strategies, and recognize when they've solved a problem correctly. This builds confidence and reduces frustration, so students approach homework as a learning tool rather than a chore.
Many states administer standardized assessments in 4th grade, and students need to be comfortable with test format, time pressure, and multi-step problems. Tutoring can build both academic skills and test-taking confidence—teaching students how to read questions carefully, eliminate wrong answers, and manage their time. Beyond test prep, personalized instruction ensures students truly understand the concepts being assessed, rather than just practicing test-like questions. This deeper understanding transfers to classroom performance and sets a strong foundation for 5th grade and beyond.
