A lot of algebra struggles come down to one thing: students learn to mimic steps without understanding what an equation actually represents. Jack tackles that head-on by teaching the logic behind operations — why you can divide both sides, what a function really maps, how factoring connects to the d...

The jump from arithmetic to algebra is really a jump into abstract thinking — suddenly letters replace numbers, and equations become puzzles with structure. Shauna tackles this by grounding variables and expressions in concrete scenarios, especially word problems that mirror real decision-making. Ra...

Word problems are where most algebra students freeze, because translating English sentences into equations is a completely different skill from solving them. Taylor spends real time on that translation step — picking apart what a problem is actually asking and identifying which variable to define fi...

Pre-med coursework at UT Dallas means Maria solves for unknowns constantly — dosage calculations, dilution equations, reaction stoichiometry — all of which demand clean algebraic reasoning under pressure. She brings that same precision to teaching students how to work through systems of equations an...

Factoring is often the single skill that determines whether Algebra feels easy or impossible, and Akshay spends real time on it — trinomials, difference of squares, grouping — until the pattern recognition becomes automatic. From there, he tackles linear and quadratic equations, word problems, and g...

When factoring quadratics or solving systems of equations starts to feel like a foreign language, Amanda translates. She teaches algebra by building each new skill visibly on top of the last one — showing, for instance, how distributing connects to factoring in reverse — and arms students with catch...

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old e...

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all su...

I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant ...

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults...
