At the Lower Level, the ISEE starts testing concepts like fractions, decimals, and basic geometric reasoning that students may have only recently encountered in class. Roel approaches each of these topics with concrete examples first — splitting pizzas, measuring rooms — before introducing the abstract notation. His math background lets him diagnose exactly where a student's understanding breaks down and address that specific gap.

As a second-year medical student with a strong foundation in science and a passion for education, I specialize in making tough subjects easier to understand. I excel in math, biology, physics, and other challenging topics that often intimidate students and I genuinely enjoy helping others master them. My approach combines patience, clarity, and high-level understanding to break down complex ideas into manageable, confidence-boosting lessons. Whether it's reviewing homework or prepping for exams, I'm here to support and motivate students at any level below mine to reach their full academic potential. My interests include: Weightlifting and fitness training (especially strength and hypertrophy programs) Morning cardio and physical conditioning Studying medicine with a focus on anatomy, physiology, and clinical problem-solving Teaching and tutoring tough academic subjects like math, biology, and physics Watching anime as a way to relax and recharge (especially after a long day) Cooking (with a focus on high-protein, keto/carnivore meals)
I am currently a student at Stanford University studying math and political science. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience with younger students. I have helped students of different ages and from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, and so I am very conscious of the needs and prior knowledge my students and tailor my tutoring method and style individually.
I am a Yale grad, Johns Hopkins master's candidate, and certified early childhood educator. At Yale, I studied History and Child Development. I went on to teach with Teach For America, and I am currently in my 3rd year of teaching. Tutoring has been an interest of mine for many years. I started tutoring when I was in middle school, and I haven't stopped. I thoroughly enjoy working with students of all ages to help supplement their learning. I am looking forward to helping your child to meet his/her goals!
I am a high school history teacher who has also worked as a teaching assistant at one of the country's top 10 colleges. I've taught ACT/SAT prep for about 4 years to students at all ends of the academic spectrum: from those working with learning disabilities/accommodations & struggling with timing to those trying to achieve perfect scores. Although I always create individualized plans, I focus on teaching every student the most effective, step-by-step way to approach each question on each section of the test. Beyond test prep, I've taught/tutored just about every academic subject through the undergraduate level. Outside the classroom, I enjoy reading about history, going to church, coaching sports (track & tennis), and spending time with my family. I really enjoy getting to know each student I teach as we work toward our goals.
I'm a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University. I received my B.S. in Biological Sciences with a minor in Biomedical Engineering. Personally, I like tutoring STEM subjects such as math, biology, and chemistry the most. I love seeing my students gain confidence in their subject areas and grow over time. Outside of academia, I enjoy cooking, exercising, reading, and spending time with my dog.
I am a patient teacher who can explain problems in many different ways according to how individual students learn best. I only ask that you know and explain to me what topics you do not know or get so far. I know that every student can learn a subject with a combination of practice and patience, but I insist upon consistent effort and sessions. As an educator I do not support last minute cramming as the primary learning method of content for students as it does not lead to retention of material, mastery of larger themes, or the ability to differentiate between subtle differences when problem-solving on tests and exams. I will help my clients when they need extra sessions before Final Exams and AP Exams, but those who have been working the hardest throughout the school year to regularly improve will get preference over those students who are panicked at the last minute, but have put off meeting with me.
I am a graduate student from Houston, Texas. I will begin my Master's program in Biomedical Sciences at Texas A&M beginning in January 2018. I've had previous tutoring experience in SAT Math and ACT Math and Science. I like to encourage students to fully understand the concepts that they are learning; you will always use some form of math at all points in life! Outside of school and studying, I enjoy watching and playing sports. Whether it's basketball, football, baseball, or any other sport, I love discussing games and news.
I am a rising Junior at Princeton University who is passionate about the ways in which people learn, which has led me to pursue a degree in Neuropsychology. Through great experiences teaching English in Chiangmai, Thailand for two months and tutoring Calculus I and II through Princeton University's McGraw Tutoring program for two years, I have come across many learning styles and have developed a love for teaching. My strengths include standardized testing, Spanish, Mathematics (Algebra, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus) and ACT/SAT/CLEP prep. I have experience working with students who are in grades K-College.
I am enthusiastic about helping others reach their educational goals. Whatever the task, no matter how long it takes, I will make sure you get the most out of your sessions and will tailor my personal approach to whatever you need.
I am a passionate educator with extensive experience working with kids and adolescents in and out of the classroom.

If you need an A in your math class or need to ace your SAT math section, look no further :)
I am a rising junior at Colgate University pursuing a major in International Relations and a minor in Economics. Since high school I have been adept at math and helping other students succeed in a subject I am so passionate about. I taught elementary school and middle school children how to sail for 4 summers and I volunteered at Family Promise Metrowest to babysit children of homeless families as well as assist them with their homework. I also worked as a teachers helper after school in the math office; I proved to be an asset to the teachers because of my ability to relate to students and convey the material in a variety of ways to ensure full comprehension. In addition to math, I tutor all elementary school subjects. I strongly believe in the pertinence of early childhood education setting the foundation for a life of learning and success. In my spare time I like to stay busy by reading the news, working out, or babysitting my neighbors.
I am a recent graduate of Washington University in St. Louis and a current first year medical student at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. I began tutoring junior high and high school students in math and science as a freshman in high school, and have continued refining these skills throughout my time in college.

I am a Senior at Worcester Polytechnic Institute studying Mechanical and Robotics Engineering. I am here to help with any Math, Science, Engineering or other tutoring needs. My main approach is to focus on mastery over work pace. I encourage my students to strive for perfection on the basic material, before moving to the hard stuff. That way you won't only "kinda know" two things, but truly understand the material. Outside of class I enjoy, hiking, playing the saxophone, cooking and building robots.
I am involved in the preparation of students for university/higher education entrance and for prospective employees applying to enter the world of work. I offer best-practice rsum preparation and interview experience.

I am a 7-12 certified middle school History teacher. I also am on the premedical track. I have a major in History and minors in Biology/Chemistry from Duke University.
I am a rising senior at The University of North Texas in Denton. I am working towards my Bachelor of Arts in Spanish as well as English with a concentration in Creative Writing. I was raised in an academically competitive environment in Fort Bend County and my rigorous secondary education prepared me for success in college. I am a fortunate member of the Terry Scholarship Foundation, which has provided me and hundreds of other Texans with a private, four-year, full-ride scholarship. As a Terry Scholar, I am well-versed in all subjects and have taken on the role of mentor to many of the incoming freshmen. I have spent most of my free time in college as a nanny and tutor to families around the DFW area. I have experience with all age groups and there is nothing that intimidates me! While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, History, Spanish, and Government/Social Studies. Through my experiences helping struggling students and peers, I have realized the value of adaptability. Most people reach out to a tutor because the traditional classroom method is not best suited for their learning needs. There is nothing more joyful than when a student finally understands the material in a way that makes sense to them. Many times, students need flexibility and patience in order to grasp a foreign concept. I am a firm believer in the power of education and I hope to share my love of learning with all of my students. After graduation I plan on returning to Houston to obtain my Master of Arts in Teaching from Rice University. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and writing anything from poetry to screenplays. I have also been involved in competitive dance for most of my adolescence, so I understand the balance of academics and extracurriculars.
I am a fourth year student at Brown University. I am currently pursuing my Bachelors of Arts in Anthropology. I enjoy reading, writing, traveling and cooking. I have worked at multiple tutoring organizations and while I teach all age groups, I am very passionate about teaching younger children. I enjoy coming up with creative ways to make learning fun for children. This passion stems from teaching my 8 year old sister. I tutor a broad range of subjects but I am especially passionate about math, English and essay writing. As a writer myself, I understand the importance of developing proficient writing skills and I am passionate about helping students develop a interest in the art form that is writing. I like to come up with ways to make learning fun for students. I understand that some subjects are frustrating for students and tutoring can sound like more school and does not always sound like fun. I believe that if a student is relaxed and excited for a tutoring session, they learn a lot more and are more engaged in the lesson. Especially with test prep for standardized exams, which can be a lot of pressure for students, I like to come up with individualized test-taking strategies for each student I tutor. If I can help a student feel more self-confident and self-assured about their classes and exams, then I am doing my job right.
I am very interested in a career in the medical field, so I am apart of some pre-medical organizations. I really enjoy playing all different sports, from soccer to volleyball to tennis.
I am excellent with kids who are reluctant or don't like school at all. My focus is on finding their strengths and using those to help their weaknesses.
I am a high school Math/Science teacher in the Los Angeles area and design SAT/ACT curricula for various tutoring companies.
I am able to get back to my passion of teaching students.
I am listening to and learning about him or her as an individual. I can also discover what motivates the student during this conversation and plan for how to frame future tutoring sessions in terms of what the student already knows and enjoys.
I am currently a rising junior at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia although I am originally from Chicago, IL. I am double majoring in Psychology and English. My current GPA is a 3.9 and I have taken a wide range of courses. I was editor in chief of my school's newspaper, competed internationally for our Model UN team, and I currently college counsel low-income high-achieving students at high schools in downtown Atlanta, in addition to tutoring multiple students in ACT/SAT prep, English, Biology, and History. This includes helping them prepare for standardized tests, editing essays and applications, and generating lists of potential institutions to apply to. I received a 35 on my ACT. In the past, I was a teacher's assistant at a home and school for severely autistic children ages 9-14, and worked on overcoming communicative barriers to foster interpersonal connections. I have also tutored multiple children with learning disabilities. In my experience, getting students engaged is just about finding the strategy that works best for them. That may mean we have to try multiple approaches, or approaches that I don't prefer, but I am willing to do whatever it takes to achieve that incredible feeling with a student when they finally grasp a concept.
I am a recipient of an award from the French Department at NYU.
I am a recent college graduate with a goal of becoming a physician. I majored in Neuroscience and and have a passion for math as well. I think a good way to help students learn is to get them to stay motivated by being encouraging and showing them the fun in learning. Everything may seem hard at first, but hard work really does pay off in the end. I think the best way to learn is to be open minded and willing to learn.
I'm a mechanical engineer. I have a lot of experience tutoring and teaching math, science, english, and German, and I also have experience in test prep!

Frequently Asked Questions
Students typically struggle most with word problems that require multi-step reasoning, fraction and decimal operations, and geometry concepts like area and perimeter. Many test-takers also find ratio and proportion problems difficult because they require translating real-world scenarios into mathematical relationships. A tutor can help you identify which specific topics are holding you back and develop targeted strategies to master them before test day.
The Math section has 30 questions in 30 minutes, which means you need to average one minute per question—but some questions require more time than others. Tutors recommend spending less time on straightforward computation problems and saving more time for word problems and multi-step questions. Practice tests help you identify which question types slow you down, and a tutor can teach you to recognize when to skip a difficult problem and return to it later rather than getting stuck.
Word problems require you to read carefully, extract relevant information, ignore distractors, and translate English into mathematical operations—all while managing time pressure. Many students rush through the reading and misinterpret what the problem is asking, leading to careless errors. A tutor can teach you a systematic approach: underline key information, identify what you're solving for, and work through the problem step-by-step before selecting your answer.
Quantitative Comparison questions ask you to compare two quantities without calculating exact answers—a skill that's different from traditional math problems. The key is recognizing patterns and using estimation rather than solving completely. For example, you might compare fractions by finding a common denominator or estimate which expression is larger without full calculation. Tutors help you practice this comparison mindset and avoid the trap of over-computing when quick reasoning will work.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you practice. Students who work with a tutor 1-2 times per week and complete practice problems between sessions typically see meaningful gains within 4-6 weeks. If you're making careless errors on topics you understand, improvement can be quick. If you're struggling with foundational concepts like fractions or decimals, you may need more time to build confidence and accuracy before tackling harder material.
Practice tests serve two purposes: they help you get comfortable with the test format and timing, and they reveal your specific weak areas. Take your first practice test under timed conditions to establish a baseline, then review every wrong answer to understand why you missed it—was it a careless error, a concept gap, or a timing issue? A tutor can help you analyze your practice test results and create a focused study plan that targets your actual problem areas rather than reviewing everything.
Test anxiety often shows up as rushing through problems, second-guessing correct answers, or freezing on difficult questions. Tutors help by building your confidence through repeated exposure to similar problems and teaching you calming strategies like taking deep breaths between questions. Practicing under timed conditions also reduces anxiety because you become familiar with the pressure. Many students find that knowing they've mastered the content and have a solid strategy makes the actual test feel less intimidating.
An effective tutor understands the specific format and question types of the ISEE-Lower Level, knows which topics cause the most trouble, and can diagnose whether your errors stem from careless mistakes or conceptual gaps. They should teach you test-taking strategies specific to this exam—like when to estimate versus calculate—not just review math content. The best tutors also help you build confidence and manage test anxiety, recognizing that ISEE success requires both mathematical skill and strategic thinking.
