I'm friendly and passionate about helping other people in any way I can. I'm pretty funny (I hope) so we should have a great time while we're working. My primary goal is helping my clients develop as students/writers, and I will do my absolute best to make sure they understand anything we go over during sessions. Please don't hesitate to contact me! (P.s. If you find a way to work a Game of Thrones reference into your message, you'll probably make my day.)
Brooke
Middle School Math Tutor • +75 Subjects
I am a wordsmith focusing on building vocabulary, grammar, and thought structure for different writing styles; including research papers, essays, data analysis, storytelling and corporate communications. I love working with students of all ages and stages of their learning journey and I specialize in tackling performance anxiety during "crunch-time." While obtaining my graduate degree, I enjoyed working as a TA, and sharing ideas and perspectives with bright undergrads. My teaching style is patient and personalized. I strive to find what sparks interest in the student and relate those ideas to the subject matter.

I am a junior at Allegheny College who is majoring in Economics and triple-minoring in Mathematics, Psychology, and Dance and Movement Studies. Growing up, I was always one of the students who helped my classmates when they didn't understand certain problems.
Syed Farasat
Applied Mathematics Tutor • +222 Subjects
As a graduate student in Artificial Intelligence at Western University with a bachelor's degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from LUMS, I bring a rich and multidisciplinary perspective to tutoring. My journey spans engineering, mathematics, computer science, creative writing, and the artsdiverse fields that I draw on to inspire students and make learning relatable and engaging. I have extensive teaching experience across a variety of settings. I've taught high school students individually, helping them prepare for exams, and delivered crash courses for standardized tests like the GRE, TOEFL, IELTS, and SAT. In professional environments, I've trained interns and new recruits in object-oriented programming and design patterns during my tenure as a lead software engineer. Academically, I've served as a teaching assistant for computer science courses at Western University, where I taught concepts like pointers and object-oriented programming through tutorials, instructional materials, and assessments. My favorite subjects to teach are Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, and English. I prioritize helping students develop strong learning methods, linking abstract concepts to tangible examples, and building a solid foundation for self-sufficiency and lifelong learning. Beyond academics, my hobbies, such as game development, playing guitar, and exploring esoteric music, enrich my teaching approach with creativity and enthusiasm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students typically find word problems involving ratios, rates, and proportional relationships most challenging, as these require translating language into mathematical equations. Geometry concepts—particularly those involving angles, area, and spatial reasoning—also trip up many test-takers who haven't developed strong visualization skills. Additionally, problems combining multiple steps (like finding a percentage of a discounted price) expose gaps in order of operations and fraction/decimal fluency. A tutor can identify which of these areas are holding a student back and build targeted practice around those specific weaknesses.
The ISEE-Middle Level Quantitative Reasoning section has a strict time limit, so students need to recognize which problems they can solve quickly versus which ones warrant a second look. A strong strategy is to scan all questions first, tackle straightforward arithmetic and basic algebra problems immediately, then return to word problems and multi-step geometry questions. Students should also know when to skip and come back—spending 3+ minutes on a single problem often costs more than it gains. Tutors help students practice this decision-making under timed conditions so they develop intuition about when to push forward versus when to move on.
Effective word problem solving starts with active reading: underlining the question being asked, identifying what information is given versus what's extra, and translating the scenario into a mathematical setup. Many students rush and misread what's being asked (e.g., confusing "the difference" with "the sum"). Breaking the problem into steps—define variables, write an equation, solve, check the answer makes sense—prevents careless errors. Tutors teach students to work through dozens of word problems with this structured approach so it becomes automatic, reducing both errors and anxiety during the actual test.
Geometry on the ISEE-Middle Level Quantitative Reasoning section tests understanding of angles, triangles, rectangles, circles, and coordinate planes—often without diagrams provided. Students who struggle typically haven't practiced sketching their own diagrams or mentally rotating shapes. Building confidence requires working through problems where students draw figures to scale, label angles and side lengths, and identify relationships (like complementary angles summing to 90°). Tutors also help students memorize key formulas (area of a triangle, circumference, Pythagorean theorem) and recognize common geometry patterns that appear repeatedly on standardized tests.
Practice tests are most valuable when used diagnostically: taking a full section under timed conditions, reviewing every wrong answer to understand the mistake (careless error, conceptual gap, or time pressure?), and then drilling similar problem types. Simply taking test after test without analysis wastes time. Students should space practice tests across their study timeline—taking one early to establish a baseline, then periodically retaking them to track improvement and identify lingering weak spots. Tutors guide students in analyzing their practice test results to create focused study plans rather than reviewing everything equally.
Improvement depends on a student's starting point and effort level. A student scoring in the 40th percentile who commits to consistent practice can often reach the 60th-70th percentile within 8-12 weeks; students already scoring well (75th+ percentile) typically see smaller gains since there's less room to improve. The biggest jumps come from closing conceptual gaps and reducing careless errors—not from memorizing tricks. Regular tutoring sessions combined with daily practice and timed drills tend to produce the most consistent results. A tutor can set realistic expectations based on initial assessment and adjust the study plan if progress plateaus.
An effective ISEE-Middle Level Quantitative Reasoning tutor should have deep familiarity with the test format, question types, and common pitfalls—not just general math knowledge. They should be able to explain why a wrong answer is tempting (test makers deliberately design distractors) and teach strategic approaches alongside mathematical concepts. Strong tutors also assess a student's specific weaknesses early and tailor sessions accordingly, rather than reviewing all topics equally. Look for someone who uses real ISEE practice materials, teaches time-management strategies, and helps students build confidence alongside competence.
Test anxiety often stems from unfamiliarity with question formats or fear of running out of time. Repeated exposure to authentic ISEE problems under timed conditions desensitizes students to the pressure and builds automaticity—when you've solved 50 similar problems, the 51st feels manageable. Tutors also teach students to recognize and manage anxiety in the moment: taking a breath, skipping a difficult problem rather than panicking, and using positive self-talk. Celebrating small wins (solving a previously difficult problem type, finishing a section with time to spare) reinforces confidence. By test day, students who've trained with a tutor often feel prepared rather than terrified.
