At the Lower Level, the ISEE starts testing concepts like fractions, decimals, and basic geometric reasoning that students may have only recently encountered in class. Roel approaches each of these topics with concrete examples first — splitting pizzas, measuring rooms — before introducing the abstract notation. His math background lets him diagnose exactly where a student's understanding breaks down and address that specific gap.

As a second-year medical student with a strong foundation in science and a passion for education, I specialize in making tough subjects easier to understand. I excel in math, biology, physics, and other challenging topics that often intimidate students and I genuinely enjoy helping others master them. My approach combines patience, clarity, and high-level understanding to break down complex ideas into manageable, confidence-boosting lessons. Whether it's reviewing homework or prepping for exams, I'm here to support and motivate students at any level below mine to reach their full academic potential. My interests include: Weightlifting and fitness training (especially strength and hypertrophy programs) Morning cardio and physical conditioning Studying medicine with a focus on anatomy, physiology, and clinical problem-solving Teaching and tutoring tough academic subjects like math, biology, and physics Watching anime as a way to relax and recharge (especially after a long day) Cooking (with a focus on high-protein, keto/carnivore meals)
I am currently a student at Stanford University studying math and political science. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience with younger students. I have helped students of different ages and from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, and so I am very conscious of the needs and prior knowledge my students and tailor my tutoring method and style individually.
I am a Yale grad, Johns Hopkins master's candidate, and certified early childhood educator. At Yale, I studied History and Child Development. I went on to teach with Teach For America, and I am currently in my 3rd year of teaching. Tutoring has been an interest of mine for many years. I started tutoring when I was in middle school, and I haven't stopped. I thoroughly enjoy working with students of all ages to help supplement their learning. I am looking forward to helping your child to meet his/her goals!
I am a high school history teacher who has also worked as a teaching assistant at one of the country's top 10 colleges. I've taught ACT/SAT prep for about 4 years to students at all ends of the academic spectrum: from those working with learning disabilities/accommodations & struggling with timing to those trying to achieve perfect scores. Although I always create individualized plans, I focus on teaching every student the most effective, step-by-step way to approach each question on each section of the test. Beyond test prep, I've taught/tutored just about every academic subject through the undergraduate level. Outside the classroom, I enjoy reading about history, going to church, coaching sports (track & tennis), and spending time with my family. I really enjoy getting to know each student I teach as we work toward our goals.
I'm a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University. I received my B.S. in Biological Sciences with a minor in Biomedical Engineering. Personally, I like tutoring STEM subjects such as math, biology, and chemistry the most. I love seeing my students gain confidence in their subject areas and grow over time. Outside of academia, I enjoy cooking, exercising, reading, and spending time with my dog.
I am enthusiastic about helping others reach their educational goals. Whatever the task, no matter how long it takes, I will make sure you get the most out of your sessions and will tailor my personal approach to whatever you need.
I am a rising Junior at Princeton University who is passionate about the ways in which people learn, which has led me to pursue a degree in Neuropsychology. Through great experiences teaching English in Chiangmai, Thailand for two months and tutoring Calculus I and II through Princeton University's McGraw Tutoring program for two years, I have come across many learning styles and have developed a love for teaching. My strengths include standardized testing, Spanish, Mathematics (Algebra, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus) and ACT/SAT/CLEP prep. I have experience working with students who are in grades K-College.
I am a patient teacher who can explain problems in many different ways according to how individual students learn best. I only ask that you know and explain to me what topics you do not know or get so far. I know that every student can learn a subject with a combination of practice and patience, but I insist upon consistent effort and sessions. As an educator I do not support last minute cramming as the primary learning method of content for students as it does not lead to retention of material, mastery of larger themes, or the ability to differentiate between subtle differences when problem-solving on tests and exams. I will help my clients when they need extra sessions before Final Exams and AP Exams, but those who have been working the hardest throughout the school year to regularly improve will get preference over those students who are panicked at the last minute, but have put off meeting with me.
I am a graduate student from Houston, Texas. I will begin my Master's program in Biomedical Sciences at Texas A&M beginning in January 2018. I've had previous tutoring experience in SAT Math and ACT Math and Science. I like to encourage students to fully understand the concepts that they are learning; you will always use some form of math at all points in life! Outside of school and studying, I enjoy watching and playing sports. Whether it's basketball, football, baseball, or any other sport, I love discussing games and news.
I am a graduate student at Columbia University, working towards Masters degrees in Public Health and Social Work. I am a graduate of Brandeis University with Bachelor's degrees in Anthropology and Environmental Science. I have been teaching students ages 9 and up for approximately 8 years, and I would love to help you reach your academic potential! My favorite subjects to tutor are reading comprehension, environmental science, and essay-writing.
I am a passionate educator with extensive experience working with kids and adolescents in and out of the classroom. I have a New York State teaching certification and a master's degree in Elementary Education (grades 1-6) from the Relay Graduate School of Education. I received my B.A. in Psychology from Dartmouth College, graduating in 2014. I have spent much of my time in the last 12 years teaching and coaching kids of all ages and backgrounds. My content knowledge spans all subjects for elementary education, with a focus in English and Math. I am also a proficient Spanish-speaker, and am available for test preparation, college essay writing, high school reading and writing help, preparing for high-level college experiences, or other inquiries. Outside of academics, I thoroughly enjoy traveling, I am an avid reader, writer, and I love soccer Academic progress is always possible! I look forward to meeting you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students typically struggle most with word problems that require multi-step reasoning, fraction and decimal operations, and geometry concepts like area and perimeter. Many test-takers also find ratio and proportion problems difficult because they require translating real-world scenarios into mathematical relationships. A tutor can help you identify which specific topics are holding you back and develop targeted strategies to master them before test day.
The Math section has 30 questions in 30 minutes, which means you need to average one minute per question—but some questions require more time than others. Tutors recommend spending less time on straightforward computation problems and saving more time for word problems and multi-step questions. Practice tests help you identify which question types slow you down, and a tutor can teach you to recognize when to skip a difficult problem and return to it later rather than getting stuck.
Word problems require you to read carefully, extract relevant information, ignore distractors, and translate English into mathematical operations—all while managing time pressure. Many students rush through the reading and misinterpret what the problem is asking, leading to careless errors. A tutor can teach you a systematic approach: underline key information, identify what you're solving for, and work through the problem step-by-step before selecting your answer.
Quantitative Comparison questions ask you to compare two quantities without calculating exact answers—a skill that's different from traditional math problems. The key is recognizing patterns and using estimation rather than solving completely. For example, you might compare fractions by finding a common denominator or estimate which expression is larger without full calculation. Tutors help you practice this comparison mindset and avoid the trap of over-computing when quick reasoning will work.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you practice. Students who work with a tutor 1-2 times per week and complete practice problems between sessions typically see meaningful gains within 4-6 weeks. If you're making careless errors on topics you understand, improvement can be quick. If you're struggling with foundational concepts like fractions or decimals, you may need more time to build confidence and accuracy before tackling harder material.
Practice tests serve two purposes: they help you get comfortable with the test format and timing, and they reveal your specific weak areas. Take your first practice test under timed conditions to establish a baseline, then review every wrong answer to understand why you missed it—was it a careless error, a concept gap, or a timing issue? A tutor can help you analyze your practice test results and create a focused study plan that targets your actual problem areas rather than reviewing everything.
Test anxiety often shows up as rushing through problems, second-guessing correct answers, or freezing on difficult questions. Tutors help by building your confidence through repeated exposure to similar problems and teaching you calming strategies like taking deep breaths between questions. Practicing under timed conditions also reduces anxiety because you become familiar with the pressure. Many students find that knowing they've mastered the content and have a solid strategy makes the actual test feel less intimidating.
An effective tutor understands the specific format and question types of the ISEE-Lower Level, knows which topics cause the most trouble, and can diagnose whether your errors stem from careless mistakes or conceptual gaps. They should teach you test-taking strategies specific to this exam—like when to estimate versus calculate—not just review math content. The best tutors also help you build confidence and manage test anxiety, recognizing that ISEE success requires both mathematical skill and strategic thinking.
