Christopher
Algebra Tutor • +7 Subjects
I am a current student at Rutgers University on track to major in Electrical Engineering. I tutor a wide range of math from elementary level up to high school and college. This range includes algebra, trigonometry, pre-calc and calculus. I have had many experiences through my high school and outside work at kumon learning centers in tutoring. I love helping students not only learn the material themselves, but being able to know it well enough that they can teach it themselves, achieving my goal of getting students to work autonomously without required help. The many interests I have outside of the classroom includes playing basketball, running, video games, and computer programming.

Amy
College English Tutor • +13 Subjects
I have a B.A. in French and a diploma in Business French from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Paris. I also speak Greek, Italian, and Spanish.I have worked as a private tutor in the area of foreign languages, essay writing, and a variety of other subjects for more than a decade. In that time, I have witnessed the difficulties many students have when learning something that seems unfamiliar, uninteresting, or just makes no sense. Seeing this, I believe it is my responsibility to be a positive influence by ensuring that all my students do well and understand the material. For example, with French, I always give them a brief English grammar lesson beforehand which helps tremendously boost their confidence level as the foreign gradually becomes familiar.I am truly excited about working with students and encouraging them to excel. There is nothing more gratifying than seeing a student conquer his/her fears and expressing him/herself in a way he/she never thought possible. I work with each student’s specific needs in a patient yet firm manner. I also exhibit determination, empathy, and humor to make learning an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Most importantly, I am personable and understanding and believe that brings me closer to helping my students.In my free time, I love cooking Mediterranean/Greek cuisine and would love to open a restaurant one day. I also write poetry, short stories, etc. and am currently working on my first novel. Lastly, I adore knitting and crocheting cute, fashionable clothes and accessories for girls.
Gabrielle
AP Biology Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am recent graduate of Binghamton University, with a Bachelor of Sciences in Biology. I am deeply committed to the value of education, and believe that learning is a gift and an opportunity for growth that should be available to everyone. For this reason, I am passionate about tutoring and helping students, so that everyone is able to not only do well in school, but to fall in love with learning in the process. Anyone can enrich themselves through learning. This is the foundation of my teaching philosophy: in addition to emphasizing results and academic achievement, I believe it is integral to find an individual approach to each student and to focus first and foremost on teaching students to study in a way that is effective and engaging. I tutor elementary, middle, and high school students in all subjects. In my free time, I like to go running, practice dance, learn new languages, and play ping-pong.

Afterwards, I allow students time to practice on their own. I encourage you to contact me to schedule so togetherwe can start achieving your goals
Anna
ACT Writing Tutor • +27 Subjects
I honestly love tutoring. While working in finance and publishing over the past decade, I have independently tutored students from many premiere NY and NJ high schools and universities. I continued tutoring even after joining a major private equity firm because of how much I enjoy working one-on-one with students. Breaking down seemingly complex subjects is one of my favorite pastimes--it's part of the reason I also enjoy writing about arcane financial topics like quanto spreads on sovereign CDS. I've also developed a newfound respect for the challenges students face when undergoing years of testing after developing my own study plan to pass the first two CFA exams (I'm taking the third exam in June). This experience has shaped how I work with students to tackle test-taking anxiety and master difficult material quickly.I have both a BA and MA in English from New York University.

Hello! My name is Catherine Raj and I am a second-year medical student at Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine. I graduated from The Ohio State University with a Bachelor's of Science in Neuroscience in 2022. Since 2015, I have tutored children from ages 3-16 in areas of math and reading, as well as their school curriculum. Apart from tutoring here, I have worked for the Kumon Learning Center as a teaching instructor for 5 years. While I am certified to tutor a broad range of subjects, I have years of experience with tutoring young children in math and reading, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, phonics, reading comprehension, and much more. I connect with elementary and middle school students very well, as I believe in understanding children in order to give them a fulfilling tutoring experience. I also very much enjoy tutoring pre-algebra and algebra as those are my favorite math subjects, as well as my best! My students and I have always had a deeper level of understanding beyond the books and I pride my style of teaching on that aspect.

Creative Writing Tutor • +18 Subjects
I love English, and good writing. Since I like working one-or-one or with a small group, tutoring is a great way for me to help young people communicate more effectively in writing. As a social scientist, I also like to talking about statistics and social science. I like to teach by example and ask lots of questions so students can discover answers themselves. When not working, I like to watch movies, exercise, and write science fiction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students in accelerated algebra often find multi-step equations, systems of equations, and polynomial operations particularly challenging because they require juggling multiple concepts simultaneously. Graphing linear and quadratic functions—especially understanding how transformations affect the shape and position of graphs—trips up many students who haven't fully internalized the connection between equations and their visual representations. Word problems that require translating real-world scenarios into algebraic expressions are another major pain point, as they demand both strong algebra skills and the ability to interpret context. Tutors help students break these topics into manageable pieces and see how each step connects to the bigger picture.
Many accelerated algebra students can execute steps mechanically but struggle to understand *why* those steps work or when to apply them. A tutor helps bridge this gap by asking guiding questions that encourage you to explore patterns—like why distributing the negative sign matters in equations, or how the quadratic formula connects to factoring. Through targeted practice and discussion, you'll start recognizing when you're applying the wrong method and develop intuition for choosing the right approach. This conceptual foundation becomes essential as algebra gets more abstract and you encounter topics like exponents, radicals, and complex expressions where procedure alone isn't enough.
Showing work isn't just about getting credit—it's a tool for catching your own mistakes and communicating your thinking clearly. In accelerated algebra, where problems involve multiple steps and operations, incomplete work makes it easy to lose track of what you're solving for or why you made a particular move. A tutor can help you develop a consistent format for organizing your work: clearly labeling what you're solving for, writing out intermediate steps rather than doing them mentally, and checking that each line logically follows from the previous one. This habit also helps you review your own work and identify where errors crept in, building independence and confidence.
Graphing in accelerated algebra requires understanding the relationship between an equation's form and its graph's features—like how the slope and y-intercept appear in y = mx + b, or how the vertex form y = a(x - h)² + k reveals transformations. Many students plot points mechanically without grasping these connections, which makes it hard to sketch graphs quickly or predict how changes to an equation affect the graph. A tutor helps you see these patterns by exploring how changing coefficients shifts, stretches, or flips a graph, and by working backward from graphs to equations. This conceptual understanding makes graphing faster and gives you tools to solve problems you haven't explicitly practiced.
Word problems require translating English into algebra, which is a skill separate from solving equations. A strong approach is to: (1) identify what you're solving for and define your variable clearly, (2) extract the key relationships and constraints from the problem, (3) write the equation or system of equations, and (4) solve and check that your answer makes sense in context. Many students skip step 1 and jump straight to writing equations, which leads to confusion about what the variable represents. Tutors help you slow down and practice this translation process systematically, often using diagrams or tables to organize information before writing equations. Over time, you'll recognize common problem types and patterns, making the process faster and more confident.
Math anxiety often stems from feeling rushed, making careless mistakes, or encountering a concept that didn't fully click before moving on—all common in accelerated courses. A tutor creates a low-pressure environment where you can ask questions without judgment and work through problems at a pace that lets concepts sink in. Breaking larger topics into smaller, manageable chunks and celebrating progress on specific skills (like mastering factoring or solving systems) helps rebuild confidence. Tutors also help you develop error-checking routines and strategies for managing test anxiety, like double-checking your work and knowing which problems to attempt first. With consistent practice and support, you'll start to see algebra as a logical system you can understand, not a mysterious set of rules to memorize.
Beyond solid algebra knowledge, an effective accelerated algebra tutor understands how to diagnose where conceptual gaps exist—whether a student struggles with order of operations, properties of equality, or connecting equations to graphs. They can explain the same concept in multiple ways and recognize when a student needs to slow down versus when they're ready to move forward. Strong tutors also help students develop problem-solving strategies and metacognitive skills (thinking about their thinking), rather than just showing them how to solve specific problems. They're comfortable with different textbook approaches and curriculum styles, and they can help students build both procedural fluency and conceptual understanding in tandem.
Accelerated algebra covers many topics—linear equations, quadratics, polynomials, exponents, radicals—that can feel disconnected when you're learning them unit by unit. A tutor helps you recognize that these topics share underlying principles: the properties of equality apply whether you're solving linear or quadratic equations, exponent rules follow from the definition of exponents, and graphing always involves understanding how an equation's parameters affect its shape. By explicitly drawing these connections, you develop a more cohesive understanding of algebra as a system rather than a collection of isolated procedures. This deeper framework makes it easier to retain concepts, transfer skills to new problems, and feel more confident tackling unfamiliar topics.
