“My goal is to make learning feel simple and approachable—while keeping each session flexible so we focus on exactly what the student actually needs that day,” Andrés R. says. A biology tutor, Andrés is passionate about helping students become the best version of themselves.

Manuel R. has been teaching and tutoring algebra, geometry, algebra II, trigonometry, pre-calculus, and calculus for the last twenty years. When it comes to standardized tests, he is particularly adept at helping students increase their confidence and their scores.

“I never matured more as a student than in the transition between merely taking classes and teaching them,” says graduate student Austin R. “I encourage students to think through the difference between merely regurgitating a concept and being able to explain it to others, as a sort of test to make sure they really possess a skill or understand a concept.”

“I believe the most difficult part of taking a test or learning material is understanding what the problem is, asking, and planning out a strategy from start to finish,” says Abigail R. Abigail has years of experience tutoring higher level sciences, including chemistry up to the undergraduate level.

“I am able to relate to the fear and cautiousness of learning by being honest and supportive,” Daniel R. says. “Students of all ages find that comfortable and relaxing enough to be more willing to participate in their own erudition.”

"I try to relate topics covered during tutoring to real life situations relevant to the student's interest," Andrew R. says on his tutoring style. "This creates a more engaging experience and develops a deeper understanding and longer lasting memory for the student." Andrew has been tutoring math since 2009.

"We could not have asked for a more intelligent, capable, professional, kind, patient, helpful, committed tutor," said one client about tutor Dick R., whose experience in teaching, training and mentoring spans more than three decades.

“My focus when tutoring is maintaining a student-led approach,” Joey R. says. “I have students explain their decisions in answers and what they understand from the start—to help clarify how they process questions and what information they find most important in the questions—and then we expand from there.”

A middle and high school math teacher, Jenny loves problem-solving. “It is rewarding to see or hear the light bulbs going off in my students' heads when they truly understand a math concept,” Jenny says.
