Jeffrey
Pre-Calculus Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering PhD program at Rice University which will begin Fall 2020, and I am hoping to return to academia as a professor after earning my PhD. In the meantime, I am looking to share my passion for gaining knowledge, specifically in STEM, by educating the up and coming members of such a great field. I have experience tutoring both Calculus and Physics at Notre Dame, as well as experience as a Student Assistant for Differential Equations and Mechanics. I believe the key to learning is much deeper than learning to solve problems and that seeking knowledge is one of the best means for personal improvement.

I am available to tutor middle and high school math, history and test prep. I have tutored math and history in the past and I previously taught a test prep course at a school in Hanoi, Vietnam. I have a lot of experience teaching all the need-to-know tricks to doing great on the SATS/ACTS! When I am not in school myself, I love rowing, equestrian and exploring my new city of Boston! I look forward to meeting and working with you soon!

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

Matthew
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!

Frequently Asked Questions
Many students struggle not with the math concepts themselves, but with understanding mathematical vocabulary in Spanish. Terms like "producto" (product), "cociente" (quotient), and "descomponer" (decompose) can be unfamiliar, especially when students are still building fluency. A tutor can bridge this gap by explicitly teaching mathematical language alongside problem-solving strategies, ensuring students understand both the "what" and the "why" in Spanish.
4th grade is when students transition from single-digit facts to multi-digit operations—a conceptually demanding shift. In Spanish instruction, tutors focus on helping students understand the place-value reasoning behind algorithms (like "reagrupación" or regrouping) rather than just memorizing steps. By using concrete models, visual representations, and Spanish-language explanations of why we "carry" or "borrow," tutors help students build true understanding that transfers to word problems and real-world applications.
Fractions are conceptually difficult at any age, but in Spanish, students must also learn new terminology: "numerador" (numerator), "denominador" (denominator), "fracción equivalente" (equivalent fraction). Additionally, the cultural context matters—students may encounter fractions in real-world Spanish-speaking contexts (recipes, measurements, money) that differ from their English-speaking peers. Tutors help students connect fractional concepts to concrete examples and build confidence with both the language and the math.
Word problems in Spanish require students to decode language, identify mathematical operations, and execute calculations—often simultaneously. Tutors teach students to break problems into manageable steps: first understanding the Spanish text, then identifying what's being asked ("¿Qué necesitas encontrar?"), then selecting the right operation. By practicing strategies like drawing diagrams, underlining key information, and translating problems into mathematical sentences, students develop the confidence to tackle complex, multi-step problems in Spanish.
Yes—students learning math in Spanish may experience compounded anxiety from both language processing and mathematical thinking happening simultaneously. Some students worry about pronunciation or feel self-conscious explaining their reasoning in Spanish. Tutors create a low-pressure environment where mistakes are learning opportunities, celebrate effort in Spanish ("¡Muy bien, lo intentaste!"), and help students separate language challenges from math ability. This builds genuine confidence and reduces the "math anxiety + language anxiety" combination many bilingual learners face.
Understanding place value is foundational for all of 4th grade math—from multi-digit operations to decimals. Tutors help students recognize patterns by using Spanish-language place-value vocabulary ("unidades," "decenas," "centenas") and concrete tools like base-ten blocks or number lines. When students see that 10 ones equals 1 ten, and this pattern repeats across place values, they begin to understand why our number system works the way it does. This conceptual foundation makes multiplication, division, and future decimal work much more intuitive.
4th graders tackle measurement (perimeter, area, liquid volume) and geometry (angles, 2D/3D shapes) concepts that require precise Spanish vocabulary: "perímetro," "área," "ángulo," "vértice." These topics are also highly visual—a tutor can use hands-on activities and Spanish-language explanations to help students understand that area and perimeter are different measurements, recognize angles in real-world contexts, and classify shapes by their properties. Building this conceptual understanding prevents confusion later in geometry.
An effective tutor for 4th grade math in Spanish needs both strong mathematical content knowledge and genuine Spanish fluency—not just translation skills. They should understand 4th grade curriculum standards, recognize common misconceptions students have about place value and operations, and be able to explain concepts multiple ways in Spanish. Additionally, they should have experience working with bilingual learners and understand how to scaffold both language and mathematical thinking. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have demonstrated expertise in these specific areas.
