Growing up as one of seven kids, Austin started explaining fractions, decimals, and proportional reasoning to younger siblings around the kitchen table — years before earning his applied mathematics degree. That early experience gave him a knack for finding the analogy or example that makes a concept land for a younger learner. He's especially good at building number sense and comfort with multi-step word problems.

Being in a BS/MD program at VCU means Roshni is constantly using the math foundations — ratios, proportions, data interpretation — that middle schoolers are just starting to formalize, so she teaches these topics with a clear sense of where they're actually heading. Her experience teaching kids as young as five through high school gave her a feel for adjusting explanations on the fly, especially when a student's gap turns out to be two grade levels back rather than in today's lesson. Rated 4.9 by families.

Getting fractions, ratios, and basic geometry right in middle school determines how smoothly everything from algebra to calculus goes later. Kyle is actively preparing for a high school teaching career, which means he thinks constantly about what foundational skills students need before they walk into an Algebra 1 classroom. He turns abstract concepts like proportional reasoning into concrete, step-by-step problem-solving.

From ratios and proportions to introductory geometry and basic statistics, middle school math covers a surprisingly wide range of topics in a short time. Sanam breaks each concept down using real-world examples from science and engineering — a natural fit given her biomedical engineering background — so students see the purpose behind the math they're learning.

Fractions, ratios, and early equation-solving are the skills that either launch a student into high school math with confidence or leave them scrambling to catch up. Samiya, a biomedical engineering major with minors in math and chemistry, unpacks these foundational ideas with patience and clarity. Her 4.9 rating speaks to how well that approach resonates with younger learners.

Fractions, decimals, ratios, and early geometry can feel disconnected to a middle schooler unless someone ties them together into a bigger picture. Ying spent two years volunteering as a math tutor in high school and discovered she's especially good at slowing down, finding the exact step where confusion starts, and rebuilding understanding from there.

Ratios, proportional reasoning, and early equation-solving are the skills that either set a student up for high school math success or leave them scrambling to catch up. Logan's Master's in Teaching focused specifically on secondary math education, so he understands not just the content but how to present it at the right level for middle schoolers who are building mathematical thinking for the first time.

I am currently a lead preschool teacher. I received my Bachelor's in Psychology from VCU and am looking to return to school to further my education. While in college, I worked as a Supplemental Instruction leader, teaching general biology and anatomy. I have also worked in an after school program with elementary age children, but I have my fondest memories volunteering as a counselor for Camp Kesem. In my own experience, I loved school and now I love teaching even more at all age levels! I especially enjoy the challenge of getting creative to discover what approach and mediums work best for each student. I am available for in person as well as online tutoring.

Fractions, ratios, and proportions click differently when a student sees *why* the math works instead of just following steps. Megan's cognitive science background at UVA gives her a toolkit for diagnosing exactly where a concept breaks down and rebuilding it using visuals, real-world examples, or whatever approach fits the learner. Rated 5.0 by students.

Fractions, ratios, and proportions stop being confusing once a student sees how they connect to each other — and that's exactly how Shahad teaches middle school math. Her science-heavy coursework at VCU means she uses real examples from biology and data analysis to make abstract concepts feel concrete. Rated 4.9 by students.

The jump from arithmetic to middle school math trips up a lot of students, especially when fractions, decimals, and negative numbers all collide in the same problem. Shona's experience as a Teaching Assistant for College Algebra means she understands exactly which gaps in middle school concepts cause trouble later — and she addresses them now, before they compound.

Ratios, proportions, and early equation-solving are the building blocks for every math class that follows, so getting them right matters. Monika connects these middle school topics to tangible problems — like unit conversions in science or calculating percentages — so the material feels purposeful rather than arbitrary.
