Before students can tackle engineering-level math, they need algebra that actually makes sense — not just memorized procedures. Fadzai breaks down topics like systems of equations and quadratic modeling by tying them to design problems she encountered in her Yale engineering coursework, giving varia...

A solid grasp of algebraic manipulation — factoring, working with rational expressions, solving systems — is the engine behind every quantitative science course that follows. Sam approaches algebra through that lens, connecting each technique to problems students will actually encounter in chemistry...

The moment algebra stops being about "solve for x" and starts involving systems, inequalities, or quadratic behavior, many students lose the thread connecting each new technique to the ones before it. Belinda maps those connections explicitly — showing, for instance, how factoring, completing the sq...

Word problems are where most algebra students freeze, and that's exactly where Zoe's English background becomes an advantage — she teaches students to translate sentences into equations by identifying what the problem is really saying. Her approach to variables, linear equations, and inequalities em...

The jump from arithmetic to algebra trips students up because suddenly they're solving for unknowns, graphing linear relationships, and manipulating expressions with variables — all at once. Franshesca slows that down, isolating each skill so that solving multi-step equations or factoring polynomial...

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 su...

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 e...

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 ...

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...

I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best descr...
