Abigail
SAT Reading Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am a knowledgeable tutor with over 5 years of experience in SAT tutoring. While studying psychology at Yale, I focused on developmental psychology, early childhood education, and writing. I have a background in nannying as well, so connecting with kids comes naturally to me. I have a master's degree in social work, meaning that I am able to compassionately support your child as they learn, while also providing a strong foundation for college and post graduate study skills. For elementary school tutoring, I specialize in supporting students with phonics and reading fluency. I'm also able to provide support in developing number sense and critical thinking skills in math. For high school tutoring, I specialize in SAT tutoring. Students preparing for the SAT with me can expect a custom study plan and individual assignments each week. I take a broad approach to prepare students as much as possible for the exam by practicing strategies based on general question type rather than focusing on content. It's better to study the test than to study the content during tutoring, and I've had great results with this approach! I look forward to helping your child meet their academic goals.

Kevin
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +14 Subjects
I am a graduate from the University of Pennsylvania where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry. I started peer tutoring in high school, staying after school to help fellow students with AP Chemistry content before major exams and quizzes. I currently tutor in math (up to AP Calculus BC/Calculus II), chemistry, physics, biology and offer test prep for the SAT and several SAT Subject tests. However my favorite subjects to tutor involve chemistry, due to the various real world examples that make the subject more comprehensive and ultimately enjoyable for students. My hobbies and interests include dancing, solving crossword puzzles, binging Netflix TV shows and hiking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students often hit walls with the transition from concrete arithmetic to abstract algebraic thinking—particularly with multi-step equations, systems of equations, and understanding why certain steps work rather than just memorizing procedures. Word problems are another major challenge because they require translating real-world scenarios into mathematical expressions. As students progress, graphing functions, understanding transformations, and working with proofs in geometry become significant hurdles. Many students also struggle with the conceptual leap from seeing math as a set of isolated rules to recognizing patterns and connections across topics.
A tutor can help students see the 'why' behind each step—for example, explaining that distributing in (x+2)(x+3) works because multiplication applies to each term, not just teaching the FOIL method as a magic formula. By working through problems multiple ways and asking guiding questions, tutors help students discover patterns and build intuition. This deeper understanding makes it easier to tackle unfamiliar problems and remember concepts long-term, rather than forgetting procedures weeks after an exam.
Word problems require a strategic approach: identifying what's being asked, extracting relevant information, choosing the right mathematical model, and then solving. A tutor can teach students to break this process into manageable steps—drawing diagrams, defining variables clearly, and checking whether their answer makes sense in context. By practicing this structured approach across different problem types (rate problems, geometry applications, exponential growth), students build confidence and develop problem-solving strategies they can apply to new situations.
Showing work isn't just for the teacher—it helps students catch their own mistakes, understand where errors occurred, and communicate their thinking clearly. A tutor can help students develop the habit of writing out each step logically, which also reveals gaps in understanding that might not be obvious from the final answer alone. This skill becomes essential for standardized tests, where partial credit depends on demonstrated reasoning, and for more advanced math where complex problems require clear organization.
Math anxiety often stems from past struggles, rushed learning, or feeling lost without understanding why concepts matter. A tutor creates a low-pressure environment where students can ask questions without judgment, work at their own pace, and experience small wins that build confidence. By breaking complex topics into manageable pieces and celebrating progress, tutors help students shift from 'I can't do math' to 'I can figure this out with practice.' This positive experience often translates to better classroom performance and willingness to tackle challenging problems.
Graphing requires understanding how equations translate to visual representations—recognizing that slope and y-intercept define a line, or that the vertex form of a parabola reveals its transformations directly. Many students struggle because they're plotting points mechanically without connecting the equation to the shape. A tutor can help students see how changing coefficients shifts, stretches, or flips a graph, and practice predicting transformations before graphing. This conceptual understanding makes it much easier to work with function families (linear, quadratic, exponential, trigonometric) throughout high school and beyond.
Proofs intimidate many students because they require logical reasoning and knowing which theorems to apply—skills that differ from computational math. A tutor can teach proof strategies like working backwards from what you need to prove, identifying what information you have, and recognizing common proof patterns (triangle congruence, parallel lines, angle relationships). By practicing structured approaches and building a toolkit of useful theorems, students develop the confidence to tackle unfamiliar proofs and understand that geometry is about logical reasoning, not memorization.
High School Math can be taught in different sequences and with varying emphasis—some curricula stress graphical understanding first, others lead with algebraic manipulation. A skilled tutor assesses how your student's class approaches topics and aligns instruction accordingly, whether that means reinforcing the textbook's method or providing alternative explanations that click better for your student. This flexibility ensures tutoring supports classroom learning rather than introducing conflicting methods, and helps students succeed with their specific teacher's expectations.
