Leonard
AP Calculus BC Tutor • +59 Subjects
I am a 23-year-old Columbia graduate with a real passion for teaching. I have been a tutor in both professional and volunteer capacities for nearly 10 years and have taught students ranging in age from second and third grade through college. I have classroom teaching experience as well and can adapt to both group and individual settings. I have taught students of all abilities in a wide variety of subjects. There is no confusion too small or problem too complicated that I cannot help with if not solve. I am exceptionally dedicated to my students; ensuring that they not simply memorize concepts or regurgitate facts but truly understand the material. I ask them to defend their answers which teaches them that the correct response is often less important than the reasoning used to reach said response. I honestly believe that anyone can learn anything given enough time and patience. I try my best to not only be a teacher but also a role model to my students and to interact with them as people not just clients. Most importantly, I believe that being challenging, but also patient and supportive yields the best results. I will always work my hardest to ensure that your student comes away learning the most that he or she can. Hobbies: art, movies, books, reading, music, writing

Max
Calculus Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a currently a sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA. I am majoring in Physics with a Concentration in Chemical Principles. I am also minoring in Creative Writing. Throughout my schooling, I have thrived in all subjects. However, my favorites are Science and Writing/English. I find that the two have similar way in promoting creativity. Not surprisingly, I will be tutoring Physics, Chemistry and Writing. Additionally, I will be tutoring for ACT prep. I took the test officially three times and was successful each time and believe that I can share effective tips on how to increase scores in each subject. In my free time, I like to play sports like football and basketball. I also like to read novels and poems. My favorites are by Kurt Vonnegut and Jack Kerouac. I am a strong believer in education being the seeds of opportunity and hope to share my passion of learning with my students.
Maggie
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +42 Subjects
I am working toward an MD at Stanford University. I am happy to help with MCAT, SAT, SAT subject, AP test prep, and general academic subjects. Throughout my 8 years of experiencing tutoring middle school and high school students, I aim to help students raise their test scores through targeting points of weakness and developing the tools to conquer those areas. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy running, listening to music, traveling, and reading. Hobbies: outdoors, reading, music, writing, art, books, traveling, running, travel
Tom
12th Grade math Tutor • +33 Subjects
I am firmly of the belief that learning a technical subject like chemistry, physics, or math is much like learning a foreign language: listening and reading is much easier than speaking and writing. It is all too easy to fall into the trap of believing that if you come to class and understand what the instructor is saying, you don't need to practice the material. Accordingly, I emphasize the need to practice "speaking" the language on a regular basis and to receive immediate feedback on one's learning. In my free time I enjoy woodworking and playing with Legos with my small children.
Amber

I'm now living in New York City pursuing a career in casting and producing theater. Although I have found my passion in the arts, I find great fulfillment tutoring math and science, because I think it's important for students to know they can succeed in these challenging subjects. I seek to develop an individual learning plan for each student, discovering the tools that will best help them succeed. My previous private tutoring clients have gone on to graduate at the top of their class. In addition, I am also an experienced SAT and ACT prep tutor.

Abrahim
Middle School Math Tutor • +81 Subjects
I am passionate about teaching because I understand greatly a lot of the academic struggles and problems students may face through education, especially as a first generation college student. Currently I am studying for my medical doctorate degree (M.D.) at the Medical College of Wisconsin. I graduated UCLA with a Biology degree with Asian Languages minor in 2019, cum laude honors. Both during my undergrad and days since, I had a chance to tutor private clients in Southern California and work for a few exam prep companies. I enjoy tutoring math, sciences (chemistry, biology mainly), social sciences (history, politics), essay writing, and Japanese. I also help assist in studying for standardized exams (SAT, ACT, SAT Subject, AP, MCAT, PCAT, OAT)! My tutoring style will be very direct in trying to identify gaps in knowledge and working/practicing on those gaps. I like to be interactive and answer the students' questions directly. I strongly believe education is one path in which students may be able to reach their dreams and I will be your supporter along the way. In my free time, I enjoy playing the piano, practicing martial arts, and watching anime/playing games.
Mateusz
Calculus Tutor • +27 Subjects
I am a big fan of sports and music with golf and rock music being my favorites from each of those. I am a guitar player as well and it is my favorite instrument, so I love to talk about my favorite guitarists and I will listen to anything with a guitar in it. I love to watch most sports, but basketball is a close second behind golf, and I root for the Chicago sports teams. As a University of Illinois graduate, I am an Illini fan despite the struggles that come with it. Finally, I am a dedicated follower of the Flash and Arrow on CW, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Batman so I am always looking for someone to get excited about the latest episodes or movies with.

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +43 Subjects
I am a firm believer that all students learn differently and identifying how each student best learns is essential to his/her academic success. Therefore, as a tutor, I aim to specifically tailor my teaching style to each student in order to help them maximize their potential. Outside of academics, I enjoy exercising, playing basketball, cooking, and attending concerts and other live performances in the Philadelphia area.

Frequently Asked Questions
Balancing equations requires understanding both the symbolic representation of reactions and the conservation of mass principle—many students try to memorize patterns rather than grasping the underlying logic. A tutor can break down the systematic approach: counting atoms on each side, identifying oxidation states when needed, and using coefficients strategically. With guided practice on equations of increasing complexity (from simple combustion to redox reactions), students develop the problem-solving intuition that makes balancing automatic rather than frustrating.
Stoichiometry often feels abstract until students see it applied in actual experiments—calculating theoretical yields, understanding limiting reactants, and predicting product amounts. Tutors can walk through real lab scenarios: if you're synthesizing aspirin, how much salicylic acid do you need? Why might your actual yield be lower than predicted? This bridges the gap between mole ratios on paper and the tangible chemistry happening in beakers, making the concepts stick and building confidence for both problem sets and lab reports.
Equilibrium is fundamentally about dynamic processes at the molecular level—something invisible to the naked eye. Effective tutoring uses multiple approaches: starting with macroscopic observations (color changes, pressure shifts), then connecting to Le Chatelier's principle through molecular reasoning, and finally applying the equilibrium expression (K) to predict how systems respond to stress. Visual aids, analogies (like a bathtub filling and draining simultaneously), and worked examples help students move from memorizing 'shift right' to actually predicting reaction behavior.
Unit conversions combine multiple skills—dimensional analysis, metric prefixes, molar mass calculations, and gas law constants—and a single mistake cascades through an entire problem. Tutors diagnose where the breakdown occurs: Is it confusion about conversion factors? Trouble with scientific notation? Uncertainty about when to use molar mass versus atomic mass? By isolating the specific gap and practicing with chemistry-specific conversions (grams to moles, liters to milliliters in gas problems, ppm in solutions), students build the fluency needed to solve multi-step problems confidently.
Strong acid-base problems are straightforward, but weak acid equilibria, buffer systems, and titration curves require deeper reasoning about equilibrium shifts and molecular interactions. Tutors help students develop a mental model: understanding why a buffer resists pH change (Le Chatelier at work), how to predict whether a salt solution is acidic or basic (considering hydrolysis), and how to interpret titration curves (connecting to equivalence points and indicator selection). This conceptual foundation makes even complex problems feel logical rather than formula-dependent.
Thermodynamics and entropy are notoriously abstract—students often confuse enthalpy with entropy or struggle to predict spontaneity. Tutors connect these to observable phenomena: why does ice melt at room temperature? Why do reactions go forward even when they absorb heat? By working through ΔG = ΔH - TΔS with real examples, discussing molecular disorder at the microscopic level, and practicing Hess's Law calculations, students see how energy and disorder drive chemistry. This transforms entropy from a mysterious concept into a powerful predictive tool.
Lab reports and experiments require both technical skills (proper technique, data collection, safety) and scientific thinking (forming hypotheses, analyzing results, identifying sources of error). Tutors can help students design experiments systematically, understand why certain procedures matter, interpret unexpected results, and connect lab observations back to theory. Whether you're troubleshooting why a synthesis didn't work as predicted or writing a strong analysis of your findings, tutoring strengthens both the hands-on and analytical sides of experimental chemistry.
Effective exam prep goes beyond reviewing notes—it requires targeted practice on high-stakes topics like equilibrium, acid-base chemistry, thermodynamics, and multi-step stoichiometry problems. Tutors can identify which concepts are still shaky, provide timed practice problems that mirror exam difficulty, and teach test-taking strategies specific to chemistry (like checking units, predicting answer reasonableness, and managing calculation-heavy sections). Regular practice with feedback builds both accuracy and the confidence needed to think clearly under pressure.
