Joshua's math background spans pre-algebra through calculus and includes a 33 ACT composite, so he's comfortable whether a student is wrestling with fraction operations or tackling integration by parts. He emphasizes understanding the reasoning behind each step so that when a problem looks slightly different on a test, students aren't thrown off.

From basic multiplication tables through pre-algebra concepts like order of operations and working with fractions, Heather covers the math fundamentals that set students up for every course that follows. Her Elementary Education program at BYU emphasized teaching math conceptually — using visual models and manipulatives so students understand why a method works, not just how to follow the steps.
Having tutored primarily in math, test prep, and Spanish, Jared knows how to switch between structured problem-solving and pattern recognition depending on what a student actually needs — whether that's setting up equations from scratch or debugging a process that keeps going sideways. His National Merit scholarship and 34 ACT back up the fundamentals, but it's his breadth across algebra, calculus, and applied business math that lets him connect topics students often treat as unrelated. Rated 4.9 by clients.
Rachel tackles math by connecting abstract procedures to concrete reasoning, especially for students who feel more at home with words than numbers. Her 33 ACT composite reflects sharp quantitative skills, and she's particularly effective at translating word problems into equations — a crossover skill her communications background makes intuitive.
Biophysics forces you to treat math as a language for describing real systems — diffusion equations, force vectors, thermodynamic models — so Benjin's coursework keeps him fluent in the kind of applied problem-solving that makes algebra and calculus feel purposeful. His 36 ACT composite means the fundamentals are locked in, but his real edge is remembering what it felt like to not understand something, which makes him quick to reframe a concept three different ways until one lands.
Seven years of tutoring across subjects taught Samantha that math anxiety usually isn't about the math — it's about a student convinced they're "not a math person" after one bad experience with fractions or negative numbers. Her English teaching training at BYU actually sharpens her approach: she listens carefully to how a student explains their thinking, catches the precise language that reveals a misconception, and reframes the idea until it clicks. She scored a 34 on the ACT and is rated 5.0 by students.
Grace's English major training means she spends her days dissecting structure and logic in texts — skills that map directly onto parsing word problems and organizing multi-step solutions where sloppy reasoning leads to wrong answers. She's particularly sharp at teaching students to slow down and identify what a problem is actually asking before jumping into calculations, a habit that cleans up careless mistakes across everything from algebra to basic calculus.
From arithmetic through precalculus, Kendall connects each new math concept to the reasoning behind it so that students aren't just memorizing steps they'll forget by next chapter. Her physics degree required fluency across algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and data analysis — the same topics that come up across middle and high school math curricula. She's rated 5.0 and scored a 35 on the ACT.
From pre-algebra through calculus, Taylor sees math as one connected language rather than a series of disconnected courses. His engineering background means he constantly uses algebra, geometry, and calculus together to solve real problems — and he brings that integrated perspective when unpacking whatever concept a student is stuck on.
From arithmetic fundamentals through calculus, John covers the full range of math topics and is especially strong at spotting the exact concept where a student's understanding breaks down. His physics degree required constant mathematical problem-solving — not just computing answers but understanding why a particular method works — and he brings that same emphasis on reasoning to every session.
Physics demands serious math fluency, and Matthew's Applied Physics coursework at BYU means he's spent years using algebra, geometry, and calculus to solve real problems — not just textbook exercises. He breaks down concepts like proportional reasoning, unit conversions, and multi-step problem solving by connecting them to how things actually work in the physical world. His 34 ACT composite speaks to the kind of cross-subject mathematical thinking he brings to every session.
Studying applied and computational mathematics means Kacey doesn't just solve problems — she understands the underlying structures that connect arithmetic patterns in elementary school to the abstraction of calculus, which makes her unusually effective across the full K-12 math spectrum. She scored a 33 on the ACT and carries a 4.8 rating, and her computational training gives her a knack for teaching students to spot efficient solution paths instead of grinding through every problem the slow way.
Scoring a 1520 SAT and 33 ACT required Helaman to be sharp across arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and data analysis — and he draws on that range when working across grade levels. Whether a student is stuck on fraction operations or wrestling with quadratic equations, he pinpoints the specific gap causing confusion rather than re-teaching an entire chapter.
From arithmetic shortcuts to setting up proportions and working with fractions, Jared breaks math problems into clear, repeatable steps that stick. His finance coursework at BYU keeps him immersed in applied math daily — calculating compound interest, analyzing data sets, building models — so he brings real context to why these skills matter. Rated 5.0 by students.
Whether a student is wrestling with fraction operations in middle school or function transformations in high school, Joseph identifies the specific conceptual gap holding them back and addresses that directly. His computational mathematics coursework spans everything from abstract algebra to numerical methods, giving him a deep bench of knowledge to draw from. Rated 5.0 by students across a wide range of math levels.
Hi, my name's Jeff. I'm 34 years old and I live in the United States of America. I received a bachelor's of science in biochemistry from Brigham Young University. With the hard sciences, you have to take a methodical and meticulous approach to learning. I believe this applies to teaching as well. I used this methodology when I taught English for two years in the Ukraine. I worked with multiple small groups, each with their own leader who I had chosen for their skill. They would perform their exercises while I would monitor their progress. We would also have a discussion afterward about topics that concerned or interested them. When I have time to myself, I enjoy keeping both my body and mind sharp. To achieve this, I like learning other languages as well as practicing gymnastics. I am also interested in reading scientific articles because I want to keep up with current developments in my field.
I'm patient, personable, and have an incredible gift for explaining things in a way that makes sense. I majored in Math Education (with a minor in Computer Science), and I have more than eight years of experience teaching math and other STEM subjects.

Frequently Asked Questions
The first session is all about understanding where your student is right now. A tutor will assess their current math level, identify specific challenges (whether that's word problems, multi-step equations, or conceptual gaps), and learn about their learning style. This helps create a personalized plan that targets their exact needs rather than generic instruction.
Yes. Provo schools use different approaches and textbooks across the district, and tutors are experienced working with all of them. Whether your student is using a specific curriculum or textbook, tutors can align their instruction to match what's being taught in class while also filling in conceptual gaps that might exist in that approach.
Showing work is about understanding the 'why' behind each step, not just getting the right answer. Tutors help students develop problem-solving strategies and teach them to explain their thinking clearly. This builds both confidence and the conceptual understanding that makes math stick—and it naturally leads to better work shown on tests and assignments.
Absolutely. Math anxiety often comes from gaps in understanding or past negative experiences, and personalized tutoring directly addresses both. When a student works 1-on-1 with a tutor who breaks concepts into manageable pieces and celebrates small wins, confidence builds quickly. Many students who start out dreading math end up enjoying it once they understand it.
Rather than teaching isolated procedures, tutors help students recognize that algebra, geometry, and other math topics are connected. By showing how concepts relate to each other and to real-world situations, students move from just memorizing steps to truly understanding math. This deeper understanding makes it easier to solve unfamiliar problems and retain what they've learned.
Word problems require students to translate language into math, which is a different skill than solving equations. Tutors teach students a systematic approach: identifying what's being asked, picking out relevant information, and choosing the right operation. With practice and strategy, word problems become less intimidating and students see them as puzzles to solve rather than obstacles.
Proofs and graphing require visualizing abstract concepts, which many students struggle with. Tutors use multiple approaches—drawing diagrams, working through step-by-step logic, or using real examples—to make these abstract ideas concrete. This helps students understand not just how to do a proof or graph, but why the process works the way it does.
