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.

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

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!

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!

Frequently Asked Questions
Gifted 7th graders often master core concepts in 1-2 exposures rather than the typical 5-7 needed by grade-level peers, and they tend to think abstractly earlier, making traditional pacing feel frustratingly slow. They frequently ask "why" questions that go beyond the curriculum, seek connections between subjects, and become bored or disengaged when forced to move at standard speed. Personalized tutoring allows acceleration through material while still building deep conceptual understanding rather than just moving faster through the same content.
Asynchronous development means a gifted student's intellectual abilities advance faster than their emotional maturity, social skills, or physical development—so a 7th grader might think like a high schooler but have the emotional regulation of a younger child. This creates challenges like perfectionism, anxiety about mistakes, frustration with peers who don't understand their interests, and difficulty managing the gap between what they want to do and what they're developmentally ready for. A tutor experienced with gifted learners understands this mismatch and can build confidence while challenging the intellect, helping students navigate both advanced material and the emotional complexity that comes with it.
Gifted students often internalize high expectations and equate their self-worth with flawless performance, leading to paralysis when facing challenging material or fear of trying new concepts where they might fail. This perfectionism can actually limit growth because they avoid productive struggle and risk-taking essential for learning. A tutor can reframe mistakes as learning data, model how experts work through difficult problems messily, and create a low-stakes environment where intellectual risk-taking is safe and celebrated.
At this level, gifted 7th graders should be moving beyond pattern recognition to analyzing assumptions, evaluating evidence quality, recognizing bias, and constructing nuanced arguments across subjects. They need practice with Socratic questioning, exploring counterarguments, and understanding that complex problems rarely have single "right" answers. Personalized tutoring provides the space to ask open-ended questions, debate ideas without judgment, and develop metacognitive awareness—understanding how they think and where their reasoning might have gaps.
Beyond subject expertise, a strong tutor for gifted learners needs training in gifted education psychology, understanding of asynchronous development, and experience recognizing and addressing perfectionism and anxiety. They should be comfortable with open-ended exploration, able to ask questions that push thinking deeper rather than just providing answers, and skilled at differentiating instruction so advanced students aren't just doing more work but fundamentally different work. Experience with acceleration strategies, enrichment, and the social-emotional needs of gifted students is essential.
Gifted 7th graders thrive when they can explore topics in depth—diving into the "why" and "how" behind concepts rather than surface-level coverage. This depth builds genuine understanding, reveals connections across disciplines, and satisfies their natural curiosity in ways that breadth alone cannot. A tutor can help students pursue genuine interests within their subjects, connect concepts to real-world applications, and develop the research and analytical skills that support advanced thinking—all of which builds confidence and intrinsic motivation more effectively than acceleration alone.
Underachievement in gifted students often looks like inconsistent grades (excelling in some subjects but struggling in others), avoiding challenging work, procrastination, incomplete assignments despite ability, or disengagement when material isn't interesting. This frequently stems from lack of challenge, perfectionism, learning disabilities masked by giftedness, or social-emotional issues rather than ability gaps. A tutor can identify the root cause, provide appropriately challenging material that reignites engagement, and help students develop executive function and organizational skills while maintaining intellectual stimulation.
Twice-exceptional (2e) students—gifted with a learning disability or ADHD—often have their giftedness masked by their challenges or vice versa, leading to frustration and misdiagnosis. They might excel at abstract thinking but struggle with executive function, have strong verbal reasoning but written expression difficulties, or hyperfocus on interests while struggling with attention in other areas. A tutor experienced with 2e learners can leverage strengths to compensate for challenges, teach specific strategies for organization and task management, and ensure that accommodations support rather than limit intellectual growth.
