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!
Quinn

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
The biggest challenges tend to be understanding algorithmic thinking—breaking problems into logical steps—and debugging code when errors occur. Many students grasp basic syntax quickly but struggle with loops and conditionals because they require thinking about how code executes over time. Data structures like lists and dictionaries also trip up students who haven't yet built mental models for how information is organized and accessed. A tutor can help by walking through these concepts with real code examples and hands-on practice rather than abstract explanations.
Effective debugging is a skill that improves with guided practice. A tutor teaches students to read error messages carefully, use print statements to track variable values, and test code in small chunks rather than running entire programs at once. Many 7th graders panic when they see red error text, but tutors help normalize errors as part of the learning process. By reviewing code together and asking questions like "What did you expect to happen here?" and "What actually happened?", students develop the problem-solving mindset that makes debugging feel less frustrating and more like detective work.
Syntax is the specific rules of a programming language—like how to write an if-statement correctly. Logic is understanding *why* you'd use an if-statement and *when* it solves a problem. A student might know Python syntax perfectly but struggle to design a solution that actually works. Tutors focus on building logic first through pseudocode and flowcharts, then help students translate that logic into correct syntax. This approach prevents students from memorizing code patterns without understanding what they do, which leads to better retention and the ability to solve new problems independently.
Projects—like building a simple game, creating a quiz app, or designing a data visualization—force students to use multiple concepts together in a meaningful way. Rather than practicing loops in isolation, a student building a game needs loops, conditionals, variables, and user input all working together. A tutor can guide students through project planning, help them break large projects into manageable pieces, and provide code review to reinforce best practices. This approach keeps 7th graders engaged and helps them see how abstract concepts connect to things they actually want to build.
Different interests require different skill focuses. Web development emphasizes HTML, CSS, and JavaScript; game design uses concepts like objects, collision detection, and game loops; data science focuses on working with datasets and visualization. A tutor can assess a student's interests and strengths, then tailor lessons to that path while ensuring core programming fundamentals stay solid. This personalized approach keeps 7th graders motivated because they're building toward projects they actually care about, whether that's making a website, creating a game, or analyzing data.
When students code alone, they often get stuck and either give up or develop workarounds that hide gaps in understanding. A tutor provides real-time feedback, catches misconceptions before they become habits, and asks guiding questions that help students think through problems rather than just providing answers. Tutors also model how experienced programmers approach unfamiliar problems—reading documentation, testing small pieces, and iterating. This guided practice accelerates learning far more than struggling in isolation, and students build confidence knowing someone is there to help them understand, not just fix their code.
Beginners need tutors who can make foundational concepts concrete through visual tools, analogies, and simple projects—explaining variables as "containers that hold information" rather than abstract definitions. Intermediate students benefit from tutors who challenge them with more complex problems, introduce design patterns, and help them write cleaner, more efficient code. Advanced students thrive when tutors expose them to new languages or paradigms, help them tackle larger projects, and prepare them for high school computer science or coding competitions. A tutor's strength is meeting each student exactly where they are and pushing them forward at the right pace.
Beyond knowing programming languages, the best tutors understand how 7th graders think and learn—they can explain concepts multiple ways and recognize when a student is confused versus just quiet. They should have hands-on coding experience, ideally across multiple languages or domains, so they can guide students authentically. Strong tutors also stay current with tools and resources that 7th graders use, like Scratch, Python, or game engines. Most importantly, they're patient with debugging, celebrate small wins, and help students see themselves as capable programmers rather than people who "aren't good at coding."
