Jeffrey
Pre-Calculus Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering PhD program at Rice University which will begin Fall 2020, and I am hoping to return to academia as a professor after earning my PhD. In the meantime, I am looking to share my passion for gaining knowledge, specifically in STEM, by educating the up and coming members of such a great field. I have experience tutoring both Calculus and Physics at Notre Dame, as well as experience as a Student Assistant for Differential Equations and Mechanics. I believe the key to learning is much deeper than learning to solve problems and that seeking knowledge is one of the best means for personal improvement.

I am passionate about teaching and tutoring and I thoroughly enjoy helping students gain an understanding and a drive for their studies. I have a long history of working with students of all grade levels and abilities (elementary school through college), and I have a good understanding of strategies to excel in both general academics and standardized tests.
Tony
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

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!
Sharon
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing
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

Frequently Asked Questions
Liberal Arts Math emphasizes reasoning and real-world application over rote memorization, so tutors focus on helping you understand the "why" behind mathematical ideas. A tutor might use visual representations, concrete examples, or guided discovery to help you see how concepts connect—for instance, exploring why the slope formula works rather than just plugging numbers into it. This approach builds genuine understanding that transfers to new problems, rather than leaving you stuck when a formula doesn't directly apply.
Word problems in Liberal Arts Math require translating real situations into mathematical language, which many students find challenging. Tutors teach systematic approaches like identifying what you know, what you're looking for, and which mathematical relationships apply—breaking the problem into manageable steps rather than jumping to equations. They also help you practice "sense-checking" your answer against the original situation, so you catch errors and build confidence that your math actually solves the real-world scenario.
In Liberal Arts Math, showing work isn't just about getting the right answer—it demonstrates your reasoning and makes it easier to spot where misunderstandings happen. A tutor helps you develop clear, organized work habits by modeling how to write out your thinking step-by-step, explain your choices, and justify your methods. This skill is especially valuable because it reveals gaps in conceptual understanding that might be hidden if you only focus on the final answer.
Liberal Arts Math often requires recognizing patterns—whether in sequences, data sets, or problem structures—and understanding how different topics relate to each other. Tutors help you develop this pattern-recognition skill by asking guiding questions that prompt you to notice similarities, make predictions, and test them. For example, a tutor might help you see how exponential growth appears in finance, biology, and technology, deepening your understanding of the concept rather than treating each application as separate.
Math anxiety often stems from feeling lost or judged for not understanding something quickly, which can block learning. Tutors create a low-pressure environment where you can ask questions freely, make mistakes, and learn from them without judgment. By breaking problems into smaller, manageable pieces and celebrating progress—even small wins—tutors help rebuild confidence and shift your mindset from "I can't do math" to "I haven't figured this out yet."
Multi-step problems require you to identify which operations to perform and in what order, which means understanding the underlying logic rather than following a memorized procedure. Tutors help by teaching you to break complex problems into stages, check your work after each step, and verify that intermediate answers make sense. They also help you recognize problem types and develop flexible strategies—so you're not just following steps mechanically, but actively directing your problem-solving approach.
Yes—tutors work with you based on your specific curriculum, textbook, and the way your teacher explains concepts. Whether your course emphasizes statistics, logic, financial math, or another focus, a tutor can align their explanations with your class materials and teaching style. This consistency helps you connect what you learn in tutoring directly to what you're doing in class, making it easier to apply new strategies on assignments and tests.
A strong Liberal Arts Math tutor understands not just the content, but how to explain mathematical reasoning in multiple ways—because what clicks for one student might not work for another. They ask thoughtful questions that guide you toward understanding rather than just telling you the answer, and they're skilled at identifying conceptual gaps that are holding you back. They also help you develop problem-solving strategies and communication skills, since Liberal Arts Math often requires explaining your thinking clearly.
