Having created over 100 math practice worksheets while tutoring middle schoolers, Robert knows exactly where students tend to stumble — whether it's fractions, proportional reasoning, or early work with negative numbers. His economics training at Macaulay Honors College means he can connect abstract math concepts to real-world applications that actually make sense to a seventh grader.

Premed coursework in cellular and molecular biology means Laveda solves math daily — unit conversions, molarity calculations, statistical analysis — so she can show middle schoolers that the fractions, decimals, and early equation work they're doing now actually goes somewhere. Her 1560 SAT score speaks to across-the-board academic strength, and her 4.9 rating suggests she knows how to make that strength accessible to younger learners still building confidence with numbers.

From fractions and ratios to early equation solving, middle school math piles on new concepts fast and punishes shaky fundamentals. Christopher zeroes in on whichever skill is causing the bottleneck — whether that's decimal operations, proportional reasoning, or translating word problems into expressions — and clears it before moving forward.

The jump from arithmetic to pre-algebraic thinking is where many middle schoolers quietly lose confidence — especially around fractions, ratios, and negative numbers. Tatiana (rated 5.0) zeroes in on the specific concept a student is stuck on and builds their reasoning skills through problems that feel manageable, not overwhelming.

The concepts students encounter in middle school math — fractions, decimals, negative numbers, basic geometry — quietly set the trajectory for everything through calculus. Liza approaches these topics by making the underlying logic visible, so a student isn't just cross-multiplying but understanding what proportional relationships actually mean. She's especially good at spotting the specific gap that's causing confusion and addressing it directly.

The jump from arithmetic to middle school math catches a lot of students off guard, especially when proportional reasoning, coordinate graphing, and basic geometry all land at once. Winson's business background at Boston University means he naturally connects these topics to real-world scenarios — percentages in budgets, ratios in recipes — which makes the material click faster.

From fractions and ratios to early equation-solving, middle school math is where students either build real confidence with numbers or start falling behind. Martin makes these concepts stick by tying them to hands-on scenarios — proportions through cooking, geometry through building — drawing on the same spatial thinking his engineering background sharpened.

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 electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

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 subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.

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 at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.

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 towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

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 my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
