Getting multiplication facts or place value wrong isn't usually a knowledge gap — it's a sequencing issue where an earlier concept didn't fully take root. Anuj traces mistakes back to the specific step that needs reinforcing, whether that's skip counting, regrouping in subtraction, or understanding what a fraction actually represents. He keeps practice structured but low-pressure, especially for younger learners who shut down when math feels punishing.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
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!
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.
I am excited to be home and help fellow straphangers on their educational paths! My largest wealth of tutoring experience is in foreign languages--particularly French--but I also feel very comfortable editing essays of any kind and working through standardized test concepts. My availability is extremely flexible, and anywhere in New York City works for me. I look forward to working with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Elementary students often struggle with the transition from learning procedures (like how to multiply) to understanding why those procedures work. Word problems are particularly challenging because they require students to translate language into mathematical thinking. Many students also develop math anxiety when they feel rushed or don't see immediate success, which can make learning harder. Personalized tutoring helps students build confidence by working at their own pace and connecting math concepts to real-world situations.
Showing work reveals a student's thinking process, which helps tutors and teachers identify where understanding breaks down—not just whether an answer is right or wrong. When students write out their steps, they're also reinforcing the logic behind the math, which builds deeper understanding. Tutors can use this insight to target instruction exactly where a student needs help, whether that's with a specific strategy or a foundational concept.
Denton's two school districts use different textbooks and approaches, so tutors connect with students and families to understand exactly what curriculum and methods are being taught in the classroom. This alignment ensures that tutoring reinforces what students are learning in school rather than introducing conflicting strategies. Tutors can also help bridge gaps when a student hasn't grasped a concept yet, preparing them to succeed with upcoming lessons.
Math anxiety often stems from feeling lost or rushed, and personalized 1-on-1 instruction removes both pressures by letting students learn at their own pace without judgment. Tutors focus on celebrating small wins and showing how concepts connect—helping students see patterns and build confidence step by step. When students experience success in a low-pressure environment, their anxiety typically decreases and their willingness to tackle harder problems grows.
Effective word problem solving starts with reading carefully and identifying what the problem is actually asking, then deciding which operation or strategy to use. Tutors teach students to break multi-step problems into smaller, manageable pieces and to use drawings, diagrams, or manipulatives to visualize the situation. With practice and guided support, students learn to see word problems not as confusing text but as stories they can translate into math.
The first session is focused on getting to know the student—their learning style, current strengths, and specific challenges. Tutors will likely work through a few math problems together to understand where gaps exist and what strategies the student already knows. This foundation helps tutors create a personalized plan that targets the student's needs while building on what's already working.
Math concepts are deeply interconnected—for example, multiplication is repeated addition, division is the inverse of multiplication, and fractions build on both. Tutors help students discover these relationships by using multiple representations (numbers, pictures, manipulatives, real-world examples) so concepts click in different ways. When students see how ideas connect, math becomes less like isolated rules to memorize and more like a coherent system they can understand and apply.
Look for tutors with strong subject knowledge in elementary math, experience working with young learners, and the ability to explain concepts in multiple ways since every student learns differently. Tutors should understand both procedural fluency (knowing how to solve problems) and conceptual understanding (knowing why methods work). Varsity Tutors connects you with experienced tutors who are matched to your student's specific needs and learning style.
