Do you ever go into class thinking, "Okay, I am 100% focused and I will completely understand everything my teacher says", and leave thinking "What just happened?!?"... It's not uncommon. Often times you might just be one concept behind and are always trying to play mental catch-up during lecture. O...

I take pride in my own academic education and strive to inspire others feel the same. I am a strong believer in the power of education, and understand that we can all use a little extra help to achieve our goals. I feel my experience working in varied environments has enabled me to develop a range of practical skills and allows me to be able to relate to students of all ages, abilities, and cultural backgrounds. As someone who also receives tutoring, I completely understand how difficult and frustrating learning can be at times. I believe this perspective allows me to really be able to engage with my students. Lastly, my ability to motivate and inspire others is a very significant contribution that I am confident I can bring to the course and into the classroom.

Algebra Tutor • +36 Subjects
I'm a 4th year college student at Stony Brook University working towards a bachelor's degree in biochemistry and a minor in writing and rhetoric. I love helping other students enjoy what they are learning by providing support as a tutor! Students who struggle in their academics often just need a role model who can focus on their individual learning style and encourage them to utilize it -- which is who I try to be each day. My goal for my students is for them to see past the challenges and enjoy the process of learning. I have over 2 years' experience tutoring kids in grades K-12 in math, science, English, and test prep, as well as helping fellow college students in biology, math, and chemistry. Examples of my expertise include teaching a class at an SAT prep center, private tutoring for K-12 both in-person and online, serving as head teaching assistant for college-level biology, and working as a chemistry peer tutor for other students at my university. I use a wide range of virtual games, arts and crafts, physical activity, virtual simulations, and real-world problems to make tutoring sessions engaging and appropriate to age level. As someone who wants to pursue research and teaching as a career, I believe quality, accessible education can have a huge positive impact on people's wellbeing and development.

Algebra Tutor • +56 Subjects
Hello, my name is Vaibhav Sharma and I am a recent graduate of the University of Pittsburgh. I majored in neuroscience and chemistry and while I was in college I spent my time volunteering at local hospitals and researching novel neuroscience techniques. I will attend medical school at Geisinger Commonwealth Medical College this fall. Having taken all of the science classes since high school, I know how daunting and hard science material might seem but if taken at a very fundamental level, it is much more logical and simpler than how many high school teachers or college professors make it seem. Thats how I approach tutoring my clients. I try to use practical examples on how the science principles come into play in the real world.

Laura
Elementary School Tutor • +21 Subjects
I am a certified Elementary Teacher. I graduated from Brigham Young University and have been teaching for 3 years. I have taught 4th grade and 6th grade, and I have volunteered in 1st, 2nd, and 5th grade classes as well. I love helping students learn. My favorite part about teaching is helping students understand a concept that they've been struggling with by explaining it in a new way. I love teaching math, especially algebra. I also love to read in my spare time, and I strive to pass on that love of reading to my students. I enjoy helping them learn to decode and comprehend, because those are the things that make reading enjoyable! In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, baking, and watching sports.
Myron
American Literature Tutor • +18 Subjects
I graduated from Washington State University. My major was Sociology with a minor in Human Development. Later, I became a teacher to assist students with learning disabilities. My biggest revelation was that everyone learns differently.I help struggling students find their learning style and apply it. The process may not be pretty but progress is made . One strategy is "no opting out". Students work on a assignment despite believing they cannot complete it.My approach to tutoring is two-fold for students in elementary school to high school. They must practice skills and learning strategies. This approach does not accommodate college students because of the academic workload. For them, our sessions are project-based. I cover all aspects of an assignment, including examples or critique completed projects.I now focus on entrepreneurial education and S.T.E.M. The subjects that I tutor are: English, Language Arts and Basic Math to Pre-Algebra. I look forward to unleashing the learning potential of future clients.

With a background in cognition based studies, I'd personally be obliged to teach you or your child what I know! Considering that many people go through intense stress in order to succeed in the school system these days, I'd be a refreshing back-seat approach to hopefully engage you or your young learner in the material involved. What is this 'back-seat' approach? The back seat approach is a method of going through material but rather than set strict quotas for a student. I work with the student to help them with whatever problem they may have. It works because the student doesn't realize that they are being guided in the long run, but gradually the student may become more adept to the material. And surely, after a few weeks of tutoring, the processes to solve a particular dilemma, the steps would become second nature to the student.As I am comfortable with anything from Biology to History, and from Arithmetic to Algebra, and even English Reading and Composition (writing), I believe I am a great pick if you are looking for a tutor with a well rounded understanding and approach.

Frequently Asked Questions
Gifted 4th graders often master grade-level material quickly, which can lead to boredom and disengagement in the classroom. Tutors work with these students by introducing advanced concepts, exploring topics in greater depth, and creating enrichment opportunities that go beyond standard 4th grade expectations. For example, a tutor might introduce algebraic thinking, advanced problem-solving strategies, or deeper literary analysis rather than simply repeating what's already been mastered. This approach keeps gifted learners intellectually challenged and motivated.
Many gifted 4th graders have uneven skill development—they might be years ahead in math reasoning but at grade level in writing, or advanced in reading comprehension but struggling with executive function skills like organization. A tutor experienced with gifted learners recognizes these gaps and tailors instruction to address specific areas of need without holding back in areas of strength. This personalized approach prevents frustration and helps build confidence across all skill areas, rather than treating the child as uniformly advanced.
Gifted students often set impossibly high standards for themselves and experience anxiety when they can't meet them immediately. Tutors who work with gifted learners help reframe mistakes as learning opportunities, teach productive struggle, and model that intelligence grows through effort. By creating a low-pressure environment where errors are explored rather than penalized, tutors help gifted students develop resilience and a healthier relationship with challenge. This emotional support is just as important as academic instruction for gifted learners' long-term success.
Beyond standard 4th grade skills, gifted students benefit from explicit instruction in higher-order thinking: analyzing multiple perspectives, evaluating evidence, recognizing bias, making logical inferences, and synthesizing information across subjects. A strong tutor uses Socratic questioning to push gifted 4th graders to think deeply about why something works, not just how to do it. They also introduce students to philosophical questions, debate structures, and research skills that prepare them for advanced work in middle and high school. These skills are what truly distinguish gifted instruction from grade-level tutoring.
Some gifted 4th graders also have ADHD, dyslexia, or other learning differences that can mask their giftedness or create frustration when advanced thinking doesn't translate to smooth execution. Tutors experienced with twice-exceptional learners use specialized strategies—like breaking complex tasks into smaller steps, providing structured organization systems, or using multisensory approaches—while still offering intellectual challenge. They understand that a gifted student with dyslexia isn't less intelligent; they simply need different pathways to access and demonstrate their thinking. This dual expertise ensures both the gift and the challenge are addressed.
Enrichment (diving deeper into 4th grade topics) and acceleration (moving into advanced material) both have value, and the right approach depends on the individual student's needs and goals. A tutor can provide both: enrichment through complex problem-solving, creative projects, and interdisciplinary exploration, or acceleration through introduction to 5th-6th grade concepts in math, writing, or science. The best tutors assess where each student will thrive and adjust accordingly, ensuring the student stays engaged without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Some gifted students need enrichment to develop mastery and confidence; others need acceleration to stay challenged.
Effective tutors for gifted students combine subject-matter expertise with specialized knowledge of gifted learner characteristics, including their social-emotional needs, perfectionism, asynchronous development, and learning styles. Look for tutors who understand differentiation strategies, can ask powerful questions rather than provide answers, and recognize that gifted students often need emotional support alongside academic challenge. Experience with gifted populations—whether through formal training, work in gifted programs, or demonstrated success with advanced learners—is essential. The best tutors see giftedness as a whole-child phenomenon, not just academic ability.
Gifted students often disengage when classroom pace is too slow or material feels unchallenging—this isn't laziness, it's intellectual need going unmet. A tutor provides the intellectual stimulation and pacing that keeps gifted learners engaged, offering problems that require real thinking and exploration. Tutors also help students reconnect with their natural curiosity by pursuing topics they're genuinely interested in, which reignites motivation. When a gifted 4th grader works with a tutor who truly challenges them, motivation typically rebounds quickly because their mind is finally being fully engaged.
