Ben
12th Grade math Tutor • +49 Subjects
I am an undergraduate student at the University of Pennsylvania. I have been tutoring for over 6 years now, and I have found it to be an extremely rewarding and enjoyable experience. I specialize in mathematics, particularly at the high school level, and I also have experience tutoring other subjects. I also have done SAT prep for the mathematics section of the New SAT and am very familiar with the recent changes to the exam. My belief is that everyone is capable of learning with enough time, explanation, and practice, and I hope to pass this on to all the students I work with. For this reason, I believe in teaching students how to think and problem solve, rather than just having them memorize patterns or facts. Hobbies: reading, music, writing, art, books
Julie
12th Grade math Tutor • +83 Subjects
I am a rising junior at Princeton University pursuing a Bachelors of Arts in Philosophy with a certificate in Statistics and Machine Learning. I am highly passionate about education: during the academic year, I serve as a volunteer tutor for the Petey Greene Program, which provides educational assistance to those incarcerated in New Jersey prisons; after graduation, I hope to work toward becoming a high school mathematics teacher. This summer, I am interning part-time at IntegrateNYC4me, a nonprofit that seeks to integrate New York schools. I believe that quality educational opportunities should be accessible to all, and I hope to dedicate my career toward realizing this vision!

Caitlin
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +36 Subjects
I am a rising senior at Duke University who is Pre Med and majoring in Asian and Middle Eastern Studies. I was born and raised in Miami FL and went to public school until college (Sunset Elementary, GW Carver Middle and Coral Reef Senior High for those from Miami). I decided to start tutoring because I would not be on this path had I not had good teachers supporting me along the way. For that reason I want to be able to help others achieve their goals without academics being a huge hurdle.

Frequently Asked Questions
College Math requires a shift from memorizing procedures to understanding underlying concepts and why methods work. Students often struggle because they've relied on formula application rather than developing mathematical reasoning. A tutor can help bridge this gap by teaching you to recognize patterns, understand the logic behind theorems, and apply concepts flexibly across different problem types—skills essential for success in calculus, linear algebra, and beyond.
Word problems require translating real-world scenarios into mathematical language—a skill separate from computation. Effective strategies include identifying what's being asked, defining variables clearly, breaking multi-step problems into manageable chunks, and checking whether your answer makes sense in context. A tutor can teach you to visualize problems through diagrams or tables, recognize problem types you've seen before, and develop a systematic approach so word problems feel like puzzles to solve rather than obstacles.
Proofs require logical thinking and the ability to justify every step—a significant jump from plugging numbers into formulas. Many students struggle because they don't see how to start or what counts as valid reasoning. A tutor can show you proof structures (direct proof, contradiction, induction), help you identify what you know versus what you need to prove, and guide you through working backwards from the conclusion. Over time, you'll recognize common proof patterns and develop confidence in mathematical argumentation.
Graphing connects abstract equations to visual representations, helping you see relationships between variables and understand behavior across different domains. Many students skip this step and miss crucial insights—like why a function has asymptotes or how parameters affect a curve's shape. A tutor can teach you to sketch graphs by hand (not just use calculators), interpret key features like intercepts and slopes, and move fluidly between equations, graphs, and real-world interpretations. This visual literacy strengthens your overall mathematical understanding.
In College Math, showing work demonstrates your reasoning process and helps instructors identify where misunderstandings occur—partial credit often depends on it. More importantly, writing out steps forces you to organize your thinking and catch errors before they compound. A tutor can help you develop clear mathematical communication: explaining why you chose a method, labeling steps logically, and justifying your reasoning. This habit builds deeper understanding and prepares you for upper-level courses where conceptual clarity matters more than computational speed.
Multi-step equations require maintaining order of operations, tracking variables across steps, and avoiding algebraic errors that compound—one mistake early on ruins the entire solution. Common pitfalls include distributing incorrectly, losing negative signs, or forgetting to apply operations to both sides of an equation. A tutor can slow down the process, help you check your work at each stage, teach you to estimate what a reasonable answer looks like, and build pattern recognition so you spot your typical errors before they happen. This develops both accuracy and mathematical confidence.
Math anxiety often stems from past struggles, rushed learning, or feeling lost in class—and it genuinely impairs your ability to access knowledge you actually have. A tutor creates a low-pressure environment where you can ask questions without judgment, work through problems at your own pace, and gradually build confidence through small wins. By understanding concepts deeply rather than memorizing procedures, you develop a sense of control and mastery. Regular practice with feedback also reduces test anxiety because you've solved similar problems before and know you can handle them.
Yes—different textbooks emphasize different approaches (some focus on graphing first, others on algebra), and your professor may have specific expectations about notation, proof style, or problem-solving methods. A tutor familiar with your course can align instruction with what your professor expects, help you navigate your textbook effectively, and ensure you're building skills in the order your course requires. When connecting with a tutor, sharing your syllabus and textbook information helps ensure you get support tailored to your exact course structure.
