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.
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

Hobbies: photography, travel, reading, music, writing, running, art, books, traveling
Samuel
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

Frequently Asked Questions
Students preparing for the Eleven Plus often find algebra, fractions, and multi-step word problems most challenging. Many struggle with the transition from primary-level arithmetic to more abstract reasoning, particularly when working with ratios, percentages, and problem-solving that requires multiple operations. Additionally, geometry questions involving angles, area, and perimeter—especially when combined with algebraic thinking—trip up many candidates who haven't built strong foundational visualization skills.
Timing is crucial—the Eleven Plus Maths paper typically requires working through 40+ questions in 40-45 minutes, leaving only about a minute per question. A tutor can teach you to identify quick-win problems versus time-consuming ones, practice strategic skipping and returning to harder questions, and build the mental speed needed through timed practice sets. This approach prevents students from getting stuck on one difficult question and running out of time for easier marks later.
The Eleven Plus features multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blank, and increasingly, problem-solving scenarios that require written working. Each format tests slightly different skills—multiple choice rewards quick elimination of wrong answers, while problem-solving demands clear reasoning and accurate calculation. A tutor can expose you to all these formats early, teach you how to decode what each question is really asking, and help you understand why certain answers are traps designed to catch common mistakes.
The best way is through diagnostic practice tests that pinpoint exactly which topics or question types trip you up—whether it's mental arithmetic speed, fraction manipulation, or logical reasoning with numbers. A tutor can analyze your practice test results to spot patterns (e.g., "you always struggle with ratio questions" or "you make careless errors under time pressure") and create a targeted study plan that focuses on those specific weaknesses rather than reviewing everything equally.
Most students benefit from consistent, focused practice over 3-6 months rather than cramming—typically 3-4 sessions per week with a mix of topic-specific drills and full timed practice papers. Early sessions should build confidence on weaker topics, while later sessions emphasize full papers under exam conditions to build stamina and timing skills. A tutor can structure this progression, adjust difficulty as you improve, and ensure you're practicing the right things at the right time rather than randomly working through past papers.
Anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or encountering unfamiliar question types on test day. Regular tutoring builds genuine confidence through mastery—you'll see yourself improve measurably on practice papers, learn that mistakes are learning opportunities, and develop a toolkit of strategies for when you feel stuck. Tutors also help you practice staying calm under timed pressure, which reduces the shock of the real exam and lets you access the knowledge you've built.
Many Eleven Plus questions test whether you can perform calculations quickly without a calculator—mental arithmetic speed directly impacts how many questions you can attempt in the time available. Students who struggle with times tables, quick division, or mental percentage calculations waste precious minutes on basic steps, leaving less time for harder reasoning questions. A tutor can help you build automaticity with core calculations through targeted drills and teach you mental shortcuts (like multiplying by 25 or finding 15% quickly) that save seconds on every question.
Word problems require you to extract the relevant information, decide which operations to use, and execute them correctly—often in the wrong order or with unnecessary data included. A tutor teaches a systematic approach: read the question carefully, underline what you're asked to find, identify which numbers matter, break the problem into steps, and check your answer makes sense. Practice with increasingly complex scenarios helps you recognize patterns (e.g., "this is really a ratio problem disguised as a story") and builds the confidence to tackle unfamiliar contexts on test day.
