Matthew
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!
Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
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 describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

Samuel
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students often find financial calculations challenging—particularly compound interest, loan amortization, and break-even analysis—because they require both computational accuracy and understanding of real-world context. Word problems involving profit margins, markup/markdown, and cost-benefit analysis are also common pain points, since they demand translating business scenarios into mathematical equations. Additionally, many students struggle with statistical concepts like mean, median, and standard deviation when applied to business data, and with graphing linear equations to model business relationships like revenue and cost functions.
A tutor helps you see the "why" behind formulas by connecting them to real business situations—for example, explaining why the compound interest formula works by showing how money grows over time, rather than just plugging numbers in. Through guided problem-solving, you'll learn to identify which formula or approach fits a given scenario, recognize patterns across different problem types, and build confidence in explaining your reasoning. This deeper understanding makes it easier to tackle unfamiliar problems and remember concepts long-term.
A strong approach starts with reading carefully to identify what you're solving for, then extracting the relevant numbers and relationships from the scenario. Tutors teach you to organize information (sometimes using tables or diagrams), define variables clearly, and translate the business language into mathematical expressions—for instance, recognizing that "total revenue minus total cost equals profit" becomes R - C = P. Breaking multi-step problems into smaller chunks and checking whether your answer makes business sense (like, does a negative profit make sense in this context?) helps you build systematic problem-solving skills rather than guessing.
These calculations involve multiple variables changing over time—principal, interest rate, time periods, and payment amounts—which makes it easy to lose track of what's happening. Simple vs. compound interest requires understanding exponential growth, and loan amortization involves creating schedules where each payment splits between interest and principal differently. A tutor helps you visualize these processes (often with tables or timelines) so you see how interest compounds each period and how payments gradually shift from mostly interest to mostly principal, making the mechanics concrete rather than abstract.
Graphing lets you visualize business relationships—like how profit changes with quantity sold, or how costs and revenue intersect at the break-even point—which makes abstract numbers more intuitive. Students struggle because they need to understand both the algebra (writing equations for cost, revenue, or profit functions) and the interpretation (knowing what the slope means in business terms, or why the y-intercept represents fixed costs). A tutor bridges this by having you build graphs from real scenarios, label axes with business meaning, and use the graph to answer practical questions like "at what sales volume do we break even?"
Tutors create a low-pressure environment where you can ask questions without judgment and work through problems at your own pace, which reduces anxiety significantly. They help you identify specific gaps—maybe you're shaky on percentages or fractions, which are foundational to business calculations—and build confidence by starting with what you do understand, then gradually tackling harder concepts. Regular practice with immediate feedback, combined with understanding the "why" behind each step, transforms math from something intimidating into a learnable skill.
Showing work is critical in Business Math because it demonstrates your reasoning, makes it easier to catch errors, and helps you (and your tutor) understand where confusion might be happening. In business contexts, you often need to explain your calculations to others—a manager or client—so clear steps matter. A tutor teaches you to write out each step logically, label what you're calculating, and organize your work so it's easy to follow; this habit also makes it simpler to review your own work and spot mistakes before submitting assignments or taking tests.
Look for a tutor who understands both the mathematics and real business applications—someone who can explain why a formula matters, not just how to use it. They should be skilled at breaking complex problems into manageable steps, asking questions that guide your thinking rather than just giving answers, and adapting their teaching style to how you learn best. Experience explaining financial concepts, comfort with spreadsheets or graphing tools, and patience with students who feel anxious about math are all valuable qualities.
