Marissa
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +49 Subjects
I am currently graduating from School for Advanced Studies high school and Miami Dade College with my Associates in Art both simultaneously. I am going to continue my education at Carnegie Mellon University. I tutor my peers and anyone that needs help in my family. I have a pretty wide range of what I can teach because of all the different people that need help. I am also able to teach in different ways to make sure that the student understands and masters the materials given. I tutor in all types of math and am flexible with the type of math students need help with. On my free time I play the French Horn with my school band and hang out with family and friends.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students typically find algebra and functions most challenging, particularly solving equations with multiple variables, working with rational expressions, and understanding function notation and transformations. Logarithms and exponential functions also trip up many test-takers because they require both conceptual understanding and computational fluency. Additionally, word problems that require translating real-world scenarios into mathematical equations—especially those involving rates, mixtures, or systems of equations—cause significant difficulty because students must identify which mathematical tools to apply.
The CLEP College Mathematics exam gives you 90 minutes for approximately 60 questions, so you have roughly 1.5 minutes per question. A smart strategy is to do an initial pass answering all straightforward problems quickly, then return to harder questions rather than getting stuck early. Tutors can help you practice this approach through timed practice tests, teaching you to recognize question types instantly and identify which problems are worth spending extra time on versus which ones to skip strategically.
Taking full-length practice tests and analyzing your results by topic is the most effective way to pinpoint gaps. A tutor can help you review your practice test performance, categorize errors (careless mistakes vs. conceptual misunderstandings), and create a focused study plan that prioritizes the topics where you're losing the most points. For example, if you're consistently missing logarithm problems or struggling with function composition, your tutor can dedicate sessions to those specific areas with targeted practice and explanation.
Algebra and functions require building fluency with manipulating expressions and understanding how functions behave graphically and algebraically. Tutors focus on helping you recognize patterns—like when to factor, when to use the quadratic formula, or how transformations shift a function's graph—rather than just memorizing steps. Spaced repetition through problem sets, combined with explanation of why each step works, helps cement these concepts so you can apply them confidently under test conditions.
Word problems require a systematic approach: identify what you're solving for, define your variables clearly, translate each sentence into mathematical notation, and then solve. Tutors teach you to annotate word problems, highlight key information, and recognize common problem types (distance-rate-time, work-rate, mixture problems, etc.) so you can apply familiar solution strategies. Regular practice with increasingly complex word problems builds the pattern recognition and confidence you need to handle any scenario the test throws at you.
Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or encountering unfamiliar question formats. Tutors reduce anxiety by ensuring you've thoroughly practiced with real CLEP-style questions, so nothing on test day feels surprising. They also help you develop a personal test-taking routine—like how to manage time, when to guess strategically, and how to stay calm when you encounter a difficult problem. Knowing you've practiced extensively and have a solid game plan dramatically boosts confidence and reduces stress.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and effort level, but students typically see meaningful gains within 4-8 weeks of consistent tutoring. If you're starting below the passing score (50), focused tutoring on foundational algebra and problem-solving can yield 10-20 point improvements. If you're already near passing, improvement often comes from eliminating careless errors and mastering the hardest 10-15% of topics, which typically adds 5-10 points. Your tutor will help you set realistic goals based on your initial diagnostic assessment.
An effective CLEP College Mathematics tutor should have strong algebra and precalculus knowledge, understand the specific topics and question formats on the CLEP exam, and be able to explain concepts multiple ways since students learn differently. They should also be skilled at diagnosing why you're making mistakes—whether it's a conceptual gap, a computational error, or a test-taking strategy issue—and at creating focused study plans based on your practice test results. Experience helping students pass the CLEP specifically is valuable because they know which topics appear most frequently and how to prioritize your study time.
