I can read and write Spanish with high proficiency and have tutored Spanish speakers, and received highest scores on the AP Spanish exam with listening. My favorite academic subjects are math and science, and I have received perfect scores on a variety of standardized math exams, including SAT I math, SAT II math IIC subject test, BC calculus AP exam, and the GRE quantitative exam. In addition to tutoring mathematics at all levels, I enjoy tutoring grammar and mechanics, and editing essays. I received the Carlos C. Rojas Excellence in Writing Award from Emory University, and have served on the editorial board for Emory University's undergraduate research journal, as well as have authored peer-reviewed manuscripts at Northwestern University. I have lectured to undergraduate students at Northwestern University in cell biology, and have taught English as a Second Language (ESL) in both a classroom setting and one-on-one. I have a very diverse background of knowledge and have worked in a variety of settings, both academic and in industry, and can meet any of your tutoring needs. I am a very patient person with excellent communication and listening skills who will take the time to get to know each of my tutees.

Frequently Asked Questions
7th grade math builds on earlier foundations with a focus on proportional reasoning, integers, rational numbers, and algebraic thinking. Students transition from concrete arithmetic to more abstract concepts—this shift is where many struggle.
Common challenge areas include:
- Working with negative numbers and integers
- Understanding ratios, rates, and proportional relationships
- Multi-step equations and solving for unknown variables
- Interpreting and creating graphs
- Word problems that require translating written scenarios into mathematical expressions
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps students build confidence in these foundational algebra skills, which are essential for success in higher math courses.
7th grade is a critical year where students need to shift from following steps to understanding why those steps work. This conceptual understanding is what enables them to tackle unfamiliar problems and apply math to real situations.
Expert tutors help students by:
- Breaking down problems into smaller, understandable pieces
- Asking guiding questions that build reasoning skills
- Using multiple approaches to show why a method works, not just how to use it
- Connecting abstract concepts to visual models and real-world examples
- Encouraging students to explain their thinking and justify their answers
When students understand the reasoning behind procedures, they retain information longer and become more flexible problem-solvers.
Word problems require students to read carefully, identify relevant information, and translate language into mathematical expressions—skills that take practice to develop. Frustration is common, but it's manageable with the right strategies.
Tutors help by teaching problem-solving frameworks such as:
- Reading and annotating the problem to identify what's being asked
- Organizing given information and determining what's needed to solve
- Choosing an appropriate strategy (drawing a diagram, creating a table, writing an equation)
- Checking answers to see if they make sense in the context
With repeated exposure to different problem types and guided practice, students build confidence and develop intuition for which strategies work best. This reduces frustration and increases success.
Yes. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who understand the specific approaches and textbooks used in their school or program. Whether your student's curriculum emphasizes procedural fluency, conceptual understanding, or a balance of both, tutors are familiar with these different pedagogies.
During the matching process, information about your student's school, textbook (such as Connected Math, Eureka Math, Big Ideas, or others), and learning style helps ensure a strong fit. This means tutors can reinforce what's happening in the classroom and help students master the exact skills and standards they're being taught.
Improvement takes time and is often visible in different ways. In the short term (4-6 weeks), students often report increased confidence, better understanding of specific topics, and fewer careless mistakes when showing their work. They may start asking more questions in class or volunteering answers.
Over longer periods (2-3 months or more), you'll typically see:
- Improved grades on tests and homework
- Greater independence when tackling new problems
- Better ability to explain their reasoning to others
- Increased willingness to attempt challenging problems
- Stronger foundational skills that support future math courses
The timeline depends on the student's starting point and how frequently they meet with a tutor. Consistent, focused sessions produce the most meaningful results.
Absolutely. Math anxiety is common in 7th grade—this is when math becomes more abstract and students start internalizing beliefs about their abilities. A supportive tutor can be transformative in shifting a student's mindset and relationship with math.
Expert tutors create a low-pressure environment where:
- Mistakes are treated as learning opportunities, not failures
- Students work at their own pace without the pressure of a classroom setting
- Progress is celebrated, even small wins like understanding a new concept
- Tutors help students recognize patterns in their thinking and build on their strengths
- Students experience success, which naturally builds confidence over time
When students see they can understand math with the right support, anxiety decreases and engagement increases. This shift often translates to better performance and a more positive attitude toward the subject.
Showing work becomes increasingly important in 7th grade because teachers need to see your student's reasoning, not just the final answer. This helps teachers identify where misunderstandings happen and allows for partial credit if a calculation error occurs but the method is correct.
Beyond grades, showing work helps students by:
- Organizing their thinking so they're less likely to make mistakes
- Making it easier to spot and fix errors independently
- Building the habit of clear mathematical communication, essential for success in higher math
- Allowing tutors to give targeted feedback on specific steps in a solution
Tutors emphasize these skills throughout sessions, modeling how to write clear, organized solutions and encouraging students to explain each step. This practice pays dividends in both current grades and future math success.
