Smriti
Certified Algebra Tutor
Smriti
MS Yale University • BA University of Madras
9+ Years Tutoring

When a student stares at a system of equations or a quadratic and doesn't know where to start, the issue is usually that earlier concepts — distributing, combining like terms, isolating variables — never fully clicked. Smriti traces the confusion back to its root and rebuilds from there, which means students actually understand why they're factoring or completing the square instead of just mimicking steps. That diagnostic approach is a big part of why she's rated 4.7 by students.

Yuga
Certified Algebra Tutor
Yuga
BA Massachusetts Institute of Technology
3+ Years Tutoring

As a tutor with a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from MIT, I bring over two years of experience in tutoring high school students in subjects such as AP Chemistry, AP Biology, and various math courses, including SAT Math. My passion for chemistry ignited in high school, where I scored a five on the AP exam, and I've since dedicated myself to helping students grasp complex concepts through a blend of theoretical understanding and practical problem-solving. I believe in tailoring my lessons to meet individual student needs, fostering a supportive environment where they feel comfortable engaging with the material. Outside of academics, I enjoy coding and robotics, which I incorporate into my tutoring to inspire younger students. My goal is to empower each student to achieve their academic goals while fostering a genuine love for learning.

Ruby
BA Wesleyan University
1+ Years Tutoring

Pre-med coursework demands constant algebraic fluency — rearranging dosage formulas, isolating variables in rate equations, balancing chemical expressions — and Ruby's current path toward medical school keeps those skills sharp and practical. Her College of Letters background also means she's unusually good at unpacking word problems, since she can parse dense language and translate it into clean equations. A 1540 SAT underscores the quantitative chops behind that verbal skill.

Rachel
BA University of Notre Dame • Doctor of Medicine, medicine New Jersey Medical School
1+ Years Tutoring

I am currently working towards a doctorate in medicine from New Jersey Medical School. Throughout high school, college, and graduate school, I have tutored students ranging in age from elementary school to college freshmen in a variety of subjects particularly math and science. My favorite subject to tutor is math because it is very methodical and visual. Having a passion to help others, I am drawn to tutoring for the opportunity to share my knowledge with others. My family and friends have described me as being patient, compassionate, and personableall of the qualities that I believe I bring to my students. Outside of tutoring, I like Notre Dame football, dogs (especially my family's German Shepherd!), yoga, cooking, and reading.

That moment when variables stop feeling abstract and start behaving like tools — that's what Keerthana aims for in algebra sessions. She zeroes in on the transition from arithmetic thinking to algebraic thinking, walking through how to set up and manipulate equations for systems, inequalities, and quadratic expressions with a problem-solving mindset sharpened by her CS coursework at NYU.

Noreen
BA Rutgers University (New Brunswick)
9+ Years Tutoring

Breaking down word problems into equations is where Noreen's English-trained brain actually shines — she's skilled at teaching students to translate messy real-world language into clean algebraic expressions. Her approach to topics like systems of equations and inequalities emphasizes reading carefully and organizing information before jumping to computation.

Emily
Current Undergrad Student, Economics Claremont McKenna College
9+ Years Tutoring

One thing Emily zeroes in on early is whether a student actually understands what a variable represents or is just pushing symbols around — because that distinction determines everything from solving systems of equations to interpreting word problems. She asks targeted diagnostic questions before jumping into practice, filling specific gaps rather than re-teaching material a student already knows. Rated 5.0 by students.

Anurag
BA New Jersey Institute of Technology
4+ Years Tutoring

Most algebra struggles come down to one thing: students learn procedures without understanding what the symbols actually represent. Anurag digs into the logic behind solving equations, factoring, and graphing linear systems, making sure each manipulation has a clear reason behind it rather than feeling like an arbitrary trick.

Dilruba
PhD Rutgers University (New Brunswick) • BA Middle East Technical University
1+ Years Tutoring

Teaching algebra across two university departments — mathematics and engineering — gives Dilruba an unusual vantage point: she sees where students trained purely in procedures break down when they need to actually apply algebraic reasoning to real problems. Her civil engineering PhD means she teaches equation-solving and variable manipulation as tools for modeling physical systems like traffic flow and structural loads, giving each technique a concrete purpose.

Mihir
BS Carnegie Mellon University
1+ Years Tutoring

Hello! My name is Mihir, and I'm a passionate and experienced math tutor with a strong academic foundation. I hold a B.S. in Mathematics from Carnegie Mellon University, where I concentrated in Discrete Mathematics and Logic and earned a Minor in Computer Science. I also completed my M.S. in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My background equips me with both deep mathematical knowledge and a problem-solving mindset that I bring into every tutoring session. I specialize in tutoring Math at the middle and high school levels. In the past, I've taught SAT Math, AP Calculus, AP Chemistry, and Algebra 1 and 2, among other subjects. My teaching approach focuses on building intuition and a sense of methodical problem-solving so that students can avoid memorization and cramming. I believe that this is the best way for students to be assured of their own skills and have confidence in tackling problems on their own.
