Fractions, ratios, and proportions show up constantly in science and medicine — and Daniel uses real examples from his microbiology and dental science background to make these concepts click for middle schoolers. When a student can see why cross-multiplication actually works instead of just followin...

The jump from following arithmetic steps to reasoning about ratios, proportions, and basic geometry catches a lot of middle schoolers off guard. Alex brings an engineer's knack for real-world examples — mixing concentrations, scaling recipes, calculating areas — that make abstract concepts click for...

I am Arizona born and raised, my education includes an NYC law school degree with an undergraduate BS degree from University of Miami. In college I majored in Health Sciences with minors in Psychology and Public Health while in law school I leaned into corporate law and finance. Between law school a...

Sixth through eighth grade is when students either lock in the number sense that carries them through high school or start accumulating gaps that compound later. Brodie zeros in on the specific skills — proportional reasoning, negative number operations, intro to linear equations — that make or brea...

A Northwestern economics degree means Andrew spent years translating real-world problems into mathematical language — the same skill middle schoolers are building when they tackle proportional reasoning, basic equations, and data interpretation. His 4.9 rating from families reflects a knack for maki...

The jump from arithmetic to middle school math — ratios, proportions, basic geometry, negative numbers — is where a lot of students quietly lose confidence. Lindsey catches those gaps early by connecting each new idea to something concrete, whether it's using cooking ratios to explain fractions or s...

Proportional reasoning, basic statistics, and introductory equation-solving can feel like a huge leap from elementary arithmetic. Leah tackles each of these middle school topics by tying them to concrete examples first — once a student sees why cross-multiplication works, the procedure sticks instea...

Fractions, ratios, and proportional reasoning trip up more middle schoolers than almost any other topic — Hana tackles these by connecting them to real situations students actually encounter. As a certified teacher with a broad liberal arts background, she breaks down multi-step problems into manage...

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'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 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...

I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received ...

I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best descr...

I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tut...
