The jump from elementary arithmetic to middle school math introduces concepts like ratios, integer operations, and basic equation-solving that set the trajectory for everything that follows. Yaajnavalki tailors his explanations to each student's thinking style, whether that means drawing number lines, working through word problems, or building up from concrete examples. Rated 4.8 by students and families.

From fractions and ratios to early equation solving, middle school math piles on new concepts fast. Kennedi zeroes in on the specific skill a student is struggling with — whether that's proportional reasoning, coordinate graphing, or translating word problems into expressions — and tackles it until it clicks.

Daniel's computer science major at Texas A&M means he thinks about math as building blocks for logic — and that mindset clicks especially well when middle schoolers hit the shift from straightforward arithmetic into variables and expressions. He teaches multiple approaches to the same problem, so students can find the method that actually makes sense to them rather than forcing one rigid procedure. His 32 ACT composite backs up the broad math fluency he brings to these sessions.

Getting fractions, decimals, and proportional reasoning to click in middle school sets the trajectory for everything that follows in math. Sameeullah takes a patient, structured approach — breaking multi-step problems into smaller pieces and making sure each concept is solid before moving on. His background includes a math minor from UT Austin, so he knows exactly where these early topics lead and how to build toward them.

The jump from arithmetic to middle school math can feel sudden when ratios, coordinate graphing, and basic geometry all land at once. Brenden breaks each topic into manageable steps and connects them to things students already understand — like how plotting points on a grid works the same way as placing objects in a video game world.

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 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 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'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.
