From fraction operations in elementary school to logarithmic functions in pre-calc, Eileen has tutored across the full math pipeline and knows exactly where gaps from earlier years create confusion later. Her approach zeroes in on the specific concept causing a roadblock — whether that's integer rules, proportional reasoning, or function notation — and rebuilds understanding from that point forward.
Double-majoring in math and computer science at Vanderbilt's engineering school, Nat sees the connective tissue between topics that often feel siloed — how algebraic structures reappear in calculus, or how a pre-algebra concept like order of operations quietly underpins everything that follows. That cross-disciplinary wiring means he can explain a technique computationally when the standard textbook approach isn't landing. His 35 ACT confirms the quantitative fluency behind his teaching.
Coming out of Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology — one of the most math-intensive programs in the country — Rhamy developed a habit of connecting abstract procedures to concrete reasoning. Whether a student is working through fraction operations in pre-algebra or tackling integration techniques in calculus, he pinpoints exactly where the logic breaks down and rebuilds it. His 5.0 rating speaks to how well that diagnostic approach lands.
Between her Vanderbilt minor in Quantitative Methods and a 34 ACT, Heather has the mathematical range to cover everything from fraction operations and proportional reasoning up through introductory calculus concepts. She's especially strong at translating word problems into equations — the step where most students get stuck — because her organizational development background trained her to break messy, real-world scenarios into clear structures.
While math isn't Alexander's primary academic focus, his 1510 SAT score reflects strong quantitative reasoning, and he's comfortable breaking down foundational concepts in algebra and arithmetic. He's a good fit for students who need a patient, structured approach to building confidence with numbers.
Kit's pre-law track at Vanderbilt sharpened exactly the kind of logical, step-by-step reasoning that makes the difference when a math problem has three moving parts and no obvious starting point — building an argument and solving an equation aren't as far apart as they look. His 1540 SAT confirms he's comfortable with the quantitative side, and his teaching assistant experience means he's practiced at spotting where someone's logic chain breaks down and reframing the approach on the fly.
I'm a 24 year old student of life that graduated from Vanderbilt University in 2014. My first experience with tutoring came 5 years ago when I opened a branch of ACT prep tutoring for Revolution Prep. At that time, I taught small classes of 5-9 students and also worked as a private tutor. I absolutely love to learn and am fulfilled by guiding students to reach their maximum potential.
Struggling with math often comes down to a gap somewhere in the fundamentals — maybe place value never quite clicked, or fractions were rushed.
