The leap from arithmetic to proportional reasoning, basic geometry, and introductory statistics can be the moment a student either gains or loses confidence in math. Andrea tackles middle school math by making sure each concept clicks before layering on the next, building the kind of number sense that carries into high school. She holds a 5.0 rating from her students.

Maha's chemistry and biology background means she thinks about math as a tool — something that has to actually work when you're balancing equations or interpreting data — and she brings that practical clarity to topics like fractions, decimals, and proportional reasoning at the middle school level. Her six months as a GED tutor taught her how to explain foundational concepts without talking down to students, a skill that translates perfectly to working with younger learners. Rated 5.0 by students.

Ratios, proportional reasoning, and introductory geometry proofs mark the point where math starts asking students to justify their thinking, not just compute. Remington treats middle school math as the foundation for algebraic reasoning, spending time on *why* cross-multiplication works or how area formulas relate to each other. His dual background in physics and psychology means he can diagnose where a concept broke down and rebuild it in a way that sticks.

From fractions and ratios to early equation-solving, middle school math piles on concepts fast, and gaps from one unit snowball into the next. Emma's experience spans elementary through graduate-level math, so she spots the specific skill a student is missing and addresses it directly. She's especially effective with students whose confidence has taken a hit.

Conservation genomics research at UChicago means Taylor spends her days running population models and statistical analyses — math that traces directly back to the proportional reasoning, data interpretation, and equation-solving she teaches middle schoolers. Her path from Columbia's Environmental Biology program through a Johns Hopkins master's built a habit of translating quantitative tools into real-world context, which makes abstract pre-algebra concepts feel grounded. Rated 4.7 by students.

I am a student at Georgetown University majoring International Politics with minors in Economics and Latin American Studies.

I am eager to support students in their academic journeys through Varsity Tutors. With a Bachelor's degree in Political Science and History from Columbia University, I specialize in subjects such as AP English Language and Composition, AP US History, AP World History, Research Skills, Math, Reading, Writing, Essay Editing and GRE preparation. My experience includes mentoring students at Gonzaga College High School, tutoring students at Columbia University and coordinating academic programs at Howard University, where I honed my ability to simplify complex concepts into clear, engaging lessons. I believe in a student-centered approach that emphasizes individual needs, goal setting, and active feedback, fostering ownership of the learning process. My passion for teaching stems from a desire to help students build confidence and connect their studies to the real world, making learning both meaningful and enjoyable. I look forward to inspiring a love for knowledge in my students!

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 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 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 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.
