Mat
12th Grade math Tutor • +73 Subjects
I am currently a senior at the Stern School of Business at NYU, graduating this semester. I am majoring in Management and Finance with a minor in History. Professionally I aligned to Strategy Consulting overall, but have numerous interests in M&A, Private Equity, and Venture Capital. I have tutored peers and students for the past 7 years of my life and I have always assumed a role of a mentor, instead of being a simple tutor. Tutoring in general is a perfect means of passing down tips and experience gathered over years of schooling that help numerous students, no matter where they are. Outside of all of these aspectes, I am an avid traveler and have a huge passion to touch every little piece of the globe. The world's various cultures and people have lived a different subset of experiences than we have in our Western society. The ability to open one's perspective to these varying views and approaches to life is a key element of learning and such experiences are critical to everyone's development. In teaching I always include all of my perspectives and insights, no matter the subject. I look forward to working closely with all of you!

I am a fourth year Medical Student in the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education at CCNY. This is a seven year BS/MD program, so by the end of the seven years, I will have achieved both degrees. I have a lot of tutoring experience in the K-12 age especially in the 7-12 grade range. I have taught SAT, SHSAT, ACT, SAT subject tests and Regents exams as well. My favorite subject to tutor is math and biology, but I am able to tutor other subject areas like reading, writing, chemistry, and physics. My tutoring style is very student oriented with some lecturing. I make sure that most of the time I am asking questions, even if it is basic, just to get the student to always be on his/her feet. I also make sure to use a lot of diagrams and flow charts when teaching. Outside of school, I spend a lot of time exploring and doing photography. I also love listening to music, watching basketball, and spending time with friends and family. Hobbies: books, photography, writing, reading, music, art

Syeda

I am a University of Michigan College of Pharmacy and will be graduating this April with my Doctor of Pharmacy degree. One of the reasons I chose to go into pharmacy school was so that I could make a difference in people???s lives, no matter how big or small. That is also why I have a passion for tutoring, something I have been doing since 2012. I absolutely love seeing a student???s face light up with understanding and seeing him/her improve as time goes by. I think the best way to tutor is to find the root of the issue whether it???s time management, difficulty in understanding the material, or difficulty in applying the material; and then using different strategies to really address that issue in a collaborative manner in order to really help the student improve. As someone currently in graduate school, I have seen my peers struggle with subjects and struggled myself. Through this and my past experiences tutoring, I have come up with many different strategies for learning and ways to address a student???s different learning style as well. During my spare time, I love trying new things, completing jigsaw puzzles (my current challenge is a 2000 piece puzzle!), learning how to sew and make my own clothes, and just being outside and exploring the area.

I have been a part of the Future Teacher Internship program at my high school, worked as a teaching intern/assistant, and am currently employed as an AVID tutor. I have worked with students ranging from kindergarten to 8th grade, though my specialty lies with older kids. With a GPA of 4.5, I was ranked number 10 in my high school graduating class of over 650 students, and my current GPA at UTD is 3.97. Hobbies: books, dancing, writing, reading, music, singing, art

Frequently Asked Questions
High school students typically struggle with time management as course loads increase, balancing multiple subjects with different demands, and transitioning from concrete to abstract thinking—especially in math and sciences. Many also face challenges with standardized testing (SAT/ACT), college preparation stress, and maintaining motivation across four years. Additionally, students often underestimate how much independent study and critical thinking skills are required compared to middle school, leading to gaps in foundational knowledge that compound over time.
Expert high school tutors need deep subject matter knowledge—not just surface-level understanding—plus experience recognizing where students' conceptual gaps actually originate. They should understand high school curriculum standards and how different subjects build sequentially (e.g., algebra → geometry → precalculus). Strong tutors also excel at adapting to different learning styles, managing the social-emotional aspects of high school pressure, and staying current with how standardized tests (SAT/ACT/AP) have evolved. Experience working with students at various skill levels—from struggling learners to advanced students—is essential.
High school follows a scaffolded sequence where each course builds on previous knowledge—math progresses from algebra to geometry to precalculus, sciences move from foundational biology through chemistry to physics, and English develops writing and analytical skills progressively. Understanding this progression helps tutors identify whether a student's current struggle stems from a gap in earlier material or from the current course itself. For example, a student failing precalculus might actually need algebra reinforcement rather than precalculus-specific help. Personalized instruction can target these foundational gaps directly, preventing students from falling further behind.
The SAT (scored 400-1600, with a national average around 1050) and ACT (scored 1-36, with a national average around 21) test not just content knowledge but also test-specific strategies, time management, and reasoning skills that differ from classroom learning. Personalized tutoring helps students understand their specific weak areas—whether that's reading comprehension speed, algebra fluency, or essay structure—rather than generic test prep. Tutors can also help students develop pacing strategies and reduce test anxiety, which significantly impacts performance. Many students see meaningful score improvements with targeted instruction focused on their individual challenge areas.
For struggling students, tutors focus on filling foundational gaps and rebuilding confidence by breaking complex topics into manageable pieces and using concrete examples before abstract concepts. For grade-level students, tutoring emphasizes deeper understanding, stronger study habits, and test preparation to move from passing to excelling. For advanced students, tutors challenge them with enrichment, AP/honors preparation, and developing critical thinking skills needed for college-level work. The key is that personalized instruction meets each student exactly where they are, rather than forcing them through a one-size-fits-all curriculum.
High school requires significantly more self-directed learning than middle school, but many students never explicitly learn how to study effectively, manage multiple deadlines, or organize their materials. Students often use passive strategies like rereading instead of active learning techniques like practice testing and spaced repetition—which research shows are far more effective for retention. Additionally, the jump from having teachers remind them about assignments to managing their own schedules creates a sudden accountability gap. Expert tutors help students develop concrete study systems, teach evidence-based learning strategies, and build the metacognitive awareness to monitor their own understanding.
AP and honors courses move faster, require deeper conceptual understanding, and demand stronger analytical and writing skills than standard courses. Tutors working with AP/honors students focus on mastering not just content but the reasoning process behind it—understanding the 'why' rather than just the 'what.' They also prepare students for AP exam formats (multiple choice, free response, essays) and help them manage the increased workload without falling behind. Since AP exams are scored 1-5 nationally, tutors can target the specific skills that separate a 3 from a 4 or 5.
Measurable outcomes include improved grades on specific assignments and exams, increased test scores (SAT/ACT/AP), stronger performance on cumulative assessments, and improved understanding demonstrated through better explanations and fewer conceptual errors. Beyond grades, real improvement shows up as increased confidence, better study habits that transfer across subjects, and the ability to tackle new problems independently rather than needing constant help. Students often report that tutoring helps them understand not just the answer but how to approach similar problems, which is the hallmark of genuine learning rather than temporary score bumps.
