Richard
12th Grade math Tutor • +56 Subjects
I am currently a PhD candidate at Northwestern University, studying microbiology and public health (my two biggest passions). I received my Bachelor of Science with high honors from Emory University in 2011, where I double-majored in Biology and Spanish. During my time at Emory, I studied abroad in Australia working on barrier reef and rainforest ecology, and studied in Spain mastering my Spanish language skills. I can read and write Spanish with high proficiency and have tutored Spanish speakers, and received highest scores on the AP Spanish exam with listening. My favorite academic subjects are math and science, and I have received perfect scores on a variety of standardized math exams, including SAT I math, SAT II math IIC subject test, BC calculus AP exam, and the GRE quantitative exam. In addition to tutoring mathematics at all levels, I enjoy tutoring grammar and mechanics, and editing essays. I received the Carlos C. Rojas Excellence in Writing Award from Emory University, and have served on the editorial board for Emory University's undergraduate research journal, as well as have authored peer-reviewed manuscripts at Northwestern University. I have lectured to undergraduate students at Northwestern University in cell biology, and have taught English as a Second Language (ESL) in both a classroom setting and one-on-one. I have a very diverse background of knowledge and have worked in a variety of settings, both academic and in industry, and can meet any of your tutoring needs. I am a very patient person with excellent communication and listening skills who will take the time to get to know each of my tutees. After identifying and recognizing a tutee's own strengths and weaknesses, I can tailor a unique tutoring plan to help each student exceed his or her goals. Hobbies: writing, hiking, reading, cooking, traveling, music, art, travel, books
Alexandra
12th Grade math Tutor • +42 Subjects
I'm a Math and French major at Brown University, and I've been tutoring for over three years. I have worked with young kids taking elementary-level math, middle school students taking Pre-Algebra and Algebra, high school students taking Pre-Calculus and Calculus, college students taking Calculus I/II and Linear Algebra -- and any level in between! Tutoring is one of my favorite activities, because every student I work with teaches me something new about my field. In addition to doing math and writing French poetry, I play the piano, contract bridge, soccer and tennis. I am also a passionate vegan, and hope to one day combine math and language into a field that draws on both the sciences and the humanities. Hobbies: reading, music, writing, art, books

I am graduate of Boston University with a BS in nutrition and premedical studies and University of New England with a degree in Medicine. During my year between undergraduate school and medical school, I worked full time as a nutrition educator in grades kindergarten through 12th grade in Boston Public schools. During this time I was also a private tutor for high school students and completed in-home one-on-one tutoring sessions in the sciences and mathematics. I have completed medical coursework in biochemistry, anatomy, and nutrition. I will be a great tutor from my in-depth understanding of the material and ability to educate students in middle school, high school and college I have also peer tutored chemistry and biology during college.

Frequently Asked Questions
The biggest challenge areas in 7th Grade math are typically multi-step equations, where students need to track variables and operations across several lines, and word problems that require translating real-world scenarios into mathematical expressions. Many students also struggle with proportional reasoning and ratios, which require understanding relationships rather than just following procedures. Graphing on the coordinate plane and understanding negative numbers can feel abstract after years of working primarily with positive integers. A tutor can help students see why these concepts matter and how they connect to each other, rather than treating them as isolated skills.
In 7th Grade, students transition from learning procedures (like 'multiply across, divide down' for fractions) to understanding why those procedures work. Tutors help by asking guiding questions—like 'Why do we need a common denominator?' or 'What does this negative sign actually represent?'—that push students to think conceptually. They also use visual models, number lines, and real-world contexts to make abstract ideas concrete. This deeper understanding makes it easier for students to tackle unfamiliar problems and remember concepts long-term, rather than forgetting procedures after a test.
Showing work in 7th Grade math isn't just about following rules—it's about communicating your thinking so others (and you, later) can follow your logic. Tutors teach students to organize their steps, label what they're doing, and check their reasoning along the way. This is especially important for multi-step equations and word problems, where a single mistake early on can throw off the entire solution. When students learn to show work systematically, they also catch their own errors more easily and build stronger problem-solving habits that carry into algebra and beyond.
Word problems require students to read carefully, identify what information matters, translate words into math, and then solve—it's a multi-step process that combines reading comprehension with mathematical thinking. Many 7th graders jump straight to solving without planning, or they get overwhelmed by extra information. Tutors teach a systematic approach: underline what you're looking for, identify what you know, draw a picture or diagram if helpful, then set up the math. With practice using this strategy on different types of problems, students build confidence and realize word problems follow patterns—they're not random puzzles.
Negative numbers and graphing are major conceptual shifts in 7th Grade because they move beyond concrete counting into abstract representation. Tutors make these ideas tangible by using real contexts—temperature, elevation, money owed—to show what negative numbers mean. For graphing, they help students see the coordinate plane as a map where ordered pairs are addresses, not just random points. By connecting these abstract ideas to visual models and real-world examples, students develop intuition rather than just memorizing rules about where points go or how to add negatives.
Math anxiety in 7th Grade often comes from feeling lost or embarrassed about not understanding, which makes students avoid trying. Tutors create a low-pressure space where it's safe to struggle, ask 'dumb' questions, and make mistakes—which is actually how learning happens. They also help students break hard problems into smaller, manageable steps so nothing feels overwhelming. As students experience small wins and realize they can figure things out with the right approach, their confidence builds and anxiety decreases. This shift in mindset is often as important as the math itself.
7th Grade math introduces many new topics—integers, fractions, ratios, equations, graphing—that can feel disconnected if taught in isolation. Skilled tutors help students see how these ideas relate: that fractions and ratios are about parts and wholes, that negative numbers and graphing extend number sense, that equations are about finding unknown values. By pointing out these connections and revisiting earlier concepts in new contexts, tutors help students build a coherent understanding of math rather than a collection of separate tricks. This makes learning faster and helps students retain concepts longer.
The core concepts in 7th Grade math are the same across curricula—whether a school emphasizes traditional algorithms, visual models, or problem-based learning—but the language and sequencing can differ. A good tutor quickly learns how your student's school presents material and adapts to match that approach, so there's no confusion between what the teacher shows and what the tutor explains. In fact, having a tutor who understands multiple approaches can help students who are struggling with their school's method by offering a different way to think about the same concept, which often leads to breakthroughs.
