I am a graduate of the University of Florida as well as the University of Washington, where I earned my Bachelors and Masters degree in Applied Mathematics, respectively. Since graduating, I have worked in different I.T. capacities such as Quality assurance and programming, but I have always made time to tutor students in math. Helping others to do math is one of my passions because I know how good it feels to go from "what is this math?" to "this actually makes sense!". Although I tutor all math courses ranging from 7th grade level through undergraduate level, algebra has to be my favorite math to tutor because I see it as the starting point of mathematics; it's the course where students are introduced to conceptual math. Getting a solid foundation in algebra affects all future math courses as well as science courses. Outside of tutoring, I like to work out, play blitz chess, and watch basketball and football.

I have tutored and/or taught mathematics since 2009. I have received graduate degrees in mathematics from Clark Atlanta University and the University of Florida. I am very patient with my students and strive to develop their skills, strategies and critical thinking.
When I was young, I realized that I thought differently about Mathematics than my peers. I read the textbook and instantly understood it. Meanwhile, they struggled for hours. Seeing my childhood friends struggle in this way tugged on my heartstrings the same then as it does to see this struggle in my adult friends today. Because of this, I have developed a great passion for helping other people understand complex ideas. I have a strong belief that the best thing for a society is the spread of advanced critical thinking skills, so any learning assistance I can offer someone is doubly satisfying to me in that way. I studied for two years at Georgia Tech working towards a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, before having to withdraw for medical reasons. Through my work as a tutor, I intend to fund my return to collegiate education, although I am now interested in a degree more directly related to Mathematics. I enjoy tutoring many levels of Math, from basic Algebra all the way to mid-level Calculus. In fact, regardless of the topic at hand, I place a heavy emphasis on the importance of algebraic derivation, and understanding of Algebra in general. As they say, "Calculus is two steps of magic, and 30 steps of Algebra."
Hello! My name is Neha, and I'm a data scientist currently in my gap year before starting medical school this coming summer. I earned both my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a focus in Intelligence and Modeling & Simulation and my Master of Science in Bioinformatics from the Georgia Institute of Technology. I'm passionate about helping students of all ages break down challenging topics and develop effective study strategies. I specialize in tutoring college and high school level Biology, Chemistry, and Computer Science, drawing on both my technical and scientific background to make complex material approachable and engaging. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive, interactive environment where students feel confident asking questions and exploring ideas. I adapt my approach to each student's unique learning style and interests, with the goal of building understanding, confidence, and long-term curiosity. Watching my students grow and succeed academically is the most rewarding part of what I do.

My name is Raghav and I am excited to be your tutor. With years of experience, I've uncovered valuable strategies that helped me excel, and I'm eager to share them with you. Tutoring is my passion, and I'm dedicated to helping students like you reach their academic goals. Having successfully worked with over 100 students from various countries and subjects for over a year, I'm confident I can assist you in achieving your goals. Since each student learns differently, I adapt my teaching to your unique learning style, ensuring that you grasp the material thoroughly. At the moment, I am studying Aerospace Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and I am a private pilot working on my instrument rating(I'd love to chat about it with you). With me as your tutor, you will get someone patient and willing to explain everything in detail. I am particularly specialized in Math such as AP Calculus amd beyond, Sciences such as AP Physics, and AP Economics as well as SAT/ACT.
Where most students stumble in AP Pre-Calculus is the shift from computing answers to reasoning about how functions behave across different representations — tables, graphs, and equations all telling the same story. Channing's deep math background, spanning competition math through multivariable calculus, means he can trace every AP Pre-Calculus concept back to the core logic driving it, especially when piecewise and trigonometric models start demanding real analytical thinking instead of rote steps. He's also taught enough younger students to know exactly which algebraic habits need fixing before the course's pace leaves anyone behind.

From coding to calculus, I can help you bridge the gap between confusion and mastery. Let's get to work!
As a graduate of Columbia University with a Bachelor's in Creative Writing and a rising second-year MFA student at Columbia's School of the Arts, I bring a unique blend of artistic and analytical skills to my tutoring. With over two years of experience teaching and tutoring, I specialize in AP Calculus AB and narrative writing, guiding students to discover their own voices while mastering complex concepts. My teaching philosophy centers on recognizing the individuality of each student; I adapt my methods to meet their diverse needs, ensuring a supportive and engaging learning environment. My passion for education stems from my belief that learning is a lifelong journey, and I am dedicated to fostering a love for both mathematics and writing in my students.
Hi, my name is Inaya, and I'm so excited to be a tutor! I have been tutoring for four years and in that time I have learned many different methods of tutoring. Some student need more hands on help and others just need to be guided into working on their own. Every kid is different and that is one of the greats parts of tutoring.
I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics from MIT, with a concentration in Philosophy at Harvard University. I have more than a decade of experience teaching High School Mathematics at international schools in Singapore, Germany, The Netherlands and Mexico. I am fluent in English and Spanish, and also have working proficiency in French, Italian, and German. I tutor Mathematics in both English and Spanish. I specialize in one to one tutoring, where I can tailor lessons to the specific needs of each student. My approach is structured and incremental, building understanding from first principles while encouraging independent thinking and problem solving. My goal is not only exam success, but also lasting confidence in Mathematics. I focus on clarity, solid foundations, and effective study habits that support students well beyond a single course or assessment. Many of my students have improved their grades significantly and gone on to succeed in competitive university programs.
Hi I'm Lou! I'm passionate about helping students succeed in math and physics. I aim to create a supportive learning environment and take care to learn and adapt to each student's learning needs. I have been formally tutoring for a few months and currently tutor students in Algebra 1 through Multivariable Calculus and College Physics. I have over eights years of peer tutoring experience from helping classmates in sixth grade through college on a wide range of math and engineering topics.
Hi there, I'm Piyush, a freshmen at Oregon state university. I believe every student has the capacity to master complex topics and build confidence in themselves given enough time and the right tools. I do just that and teach my students how to think instead of what to think. I use analogies, visual indicators and various different explanations to teach a concept so it sticks. I am dynamic enough to change my tutoring style based on the kind of student I am teaching, whether it be direct or patient depending on the mindset of the student. I constantly review the change I am causing in the students with consistent skill-checks and mini-quizzes where I have the student explain the concept back to me to check their understanding. Overall, I am focused on creating the best tutoring experience for my students which includes keeping up with the curriculum myself. I am constantly studying advanced topics to make sure my explanations are as accurate as possible.
Before she found her footing in STEM, Riya struggled with the same abstract leaps that trip up most AP Pre-Calculus students — making sense of how trigonometric, exponential, and polynomial functions actually behave instead of just memorizing formulas. That personal experience shapes how she teaches the course now as a Computer Science major at Texas A&M, where she breaks down composition and transformation questions into concrete, step-by-step reasoning that builds real understanding. She's especially sharp at helping students bridge the gap between algebraic manipulation and the graphical interpretation the AP framework demands.
Hi, I'm Laura! I graduated summa cum laude from Eastern Washington University with a bachelor's of science degree in mathematics and a minor in sociology. There, I earned the Frances B. Huston award, the most prestigious award given to graduating students, for excellence in academics, leadership, and community service. From there, I became a student at the University of Washington (UW), earning my Master of Science in Applied Mathematics and a position as a PhD student in the department. I was also awarded the Carl S. Pearson award for academic excellence in the Master's program. I have been working as a PhD student since then, with expertise in all types of math including algebra, calculus, linear algebra, and numerical analysis, among others. I also have years of experience coding in both python and matlab! I spent three years as an undergraduate teaching assistant, helping teach both high school and college level math classes. I also taught multiple sections of calculus at the University of Washington as a Master's student, and I have served as a teaching assistant throughout my time at UW. My favorite thing about these positions were the opportunities to work one-on-one with students, developing new approaches to help them understand difficult concepts. I love coming up with new examples or intuitive ways of thinking through math problems. I think everybody can learn math, and I love helping students of all ages and backgrounds achieve their mathematical goals! I have a number of resources to use in lesson planning, and I also welcome any resources or suggestions provided by students and parents to help tailor the experience to your needs. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule a session!
