Building number sense in middle school — whether it's working with fractions, tackling proportional reasoning, or writing first algebraic expressions — sets the trajectory for every math class that follows. Laura takes a patient, low-pressure approach that lets students slow down on the concepts tha...

Fractions, ratios, and integer operations trip up a lot of middle schoolers not because the math is impossibly hard, but because earlier gaps in number sense start compounding. Devon pinpoints exactly where those gaps are and rebuilds confidence through targeted practice with proportional reasoning ...

A Columbia-trained physicist who genuinely enjoys breaking math down to its moving parts, Alexander connects concepts like proportional reasoning and integer operations to real-world scenarios students can actually picture. He treats middle school math as the launchpad for scientific thinking — buil...

The jump from elementary arithmetic to middle school math trips up a lot of students — suddenly they're dealing with ratios, proportional reasoning, and introductory equations all at once. Samantha taught in a math classroom with City Year New York and saw firsthand how gaps in number sense snowball...

Having tutored kids across Brooklyn and Manhattan through everything from fractions to pre-algebraic reasoning, Stanley knows the exact moments where middle schoolers' confidence tends to wobble — and his instinct is to slow down and rebuild the logic rather than push ahead. His Penn history degree ...

Graduating from the Bronx High School of Science means Zarrin grew up in a math-intensive environment where rigor was the baseline, and she brings that same expectation — paired with genuine patience — to middle schoolers tackling integers, ratios, and early algebraic expressions. Her neuroscience d...

Fractions, ratios, and introductory equations are where many students either build lasting number sense or start falling behind. Jonathan takes a patient, concrete approach — using real-world contexts like measurement and money to make operations with fractions and decimals click before moving to ab...

Sixth through eighth grade is when math stops being about getting the right number and starts being about reasoning — proportional thinking, negative numbers, basic equation solving. Charles makes that transition smoother by tying every new concept to something concrete a student already understands...

Philosophy trains you to take a messy argument and find its logical structure — Ava does the same thing with middle school math, breaking down multi-step problems into clear, sequential reasoning that students can follow and repeat on their own. Her 4.9 rating speaks to a teaching style that priorit...

Ratios, proportions, and integer operations can feel like a sudden jump from elementary arithmetic — Sonia breaks these topics down by connecting them to real-world scenarios students already understand. Her neuroscience degree from WashU and over a decade of tutoring give her a sharp sense of how s...
