Connor
Pre-Calculus Tutor • +31 Subjects
I am a sophomore at Columbia University, studying political science and philosophy. I often like to joke that teaching runs in my blood I come from a family of teachers who instilled in me the passion to help others learn. Since I could grasp concepts I learned in school, I've always gone out of my way to help my fellow classmate. As I got older, that became formalized tutoring through school organizations and I eventually worked for the New York City Department of Education. There, I helped students with their standardized testing for the state assessments and the SAT. I love teaching math because I feel it's the subject where I can gauge the strength of my students best. Math is such a versatile (though widely-hated) subject, where every unique learning style can always result in the same answer. I also get the most freedom when it comes to designing questions to help students grow and practicing alongside them easily the most fun part of a tutoring session with me. I'm never shy when it comes to tutoring anything else, though, whether it be any sort of history, literature, or government-related topic. My goal as a tutor is not all about teaching anything new to my students, but instead drawing out the skills they already have. Hobbies: art, travel, sports, books, writing, reading, music

Molly
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +36 Subjects
Currently I am a graduate student in Stanford University's Master's Program for Human Genetics and Genetic Counseling. Prior to my enrollment at Stanford, I worked as a Genetic Counseling Assistant for Igenomix, a genetic testing laboratory. I graduated from Cornell University in December of 2021 with a BS in Biological Sciences and a minor in Education. As a student, I was a member of a research lab that works with the genetic basis of epilepsy in fruit flies as well as an undergraduate TA for a genetics laboratory course at Cornell. While I tutor a range of subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring biology and genetics, as that is where most of my expertise lies. I have enjoyed tutoring SAT and ACT math and science sections in the past and have found students have great success on these stressful tests after seeking out help from tutors like me. In my free time I love watching TV shows with my friends, being active, and painting. I am also a Crisis Text Line volunteer and enjoy taking shifts to help people through difficult times.
Angela
Regents Tutor • +8 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of The University of Pennsylvania. I received my Bachelor of Arts with honors in Neuroscience with two minors in Chemistry and East Asian Area Studies. After graduation, I am now pursuing a Master of Science in Neuroscience at the University College London. I have been tutoring since I was 18 for students aged 4 to 12. Additionally, I was also hired as a teaching assistant in the Department of Chemistry during my last year of undergraduate studies. While I have tutored a few subjects before, I am most passionate about English as a second language, Chemistry, and Chinese language (conversational as well). As a first-generation graduate, I believe education has a crucial impact on life, and I want to contribute back to the teaching community the same way I was influenced in academia. In my leisure time, I enjoy working out, traveling, going to concerts, and trying all kinds of cuisines!
Elizabeth
12th Grade math Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a graduate of Cornell University with a BS in Biological Sciences, where I started tutoring students one-on-one in calculus. Since then, I have also served multiple times as a teaching assistant, both at the undergraduate and graduate level. Currently as a MS student at the University of Illinois, I tutor online, mainly for high school and college students in math and science. Understanding beats memorization every time! Understand the "why" and "how" of the topic; don't just memorizing facts. This is especially important for FRQs, word problems, and more advanced topics that require analysis of the material, beyond simple regurgitation of lectures. No question is too small to make sure that the foundational and basic knowledge is solid. I always have fun tutoring. I love the topics I teach, and I'm sure you will too!
William
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +64 Subjects
In 2022, I completed my Ph.D. in Chemistry at Vanderbilt University. My goal is to use my expertise in chemistry, algebra, and calculus to help students not only learn but also enjoy these subjects. My favorite subject to teach is general chemistry as it highlights the importance of interdisciplinary study combining, physics, math, and even biology. While my degree expertise lies in chemistry, I am equally adapt in teaching all levels of mathematics. I take pride in reinforcing mathematics concepts with tangible applications in other fields to highlight its importance and making learning interesting.
Bhakti
AP Statistics Tutor • +90 Subjects
I'm a medical resident. looking to tutor in biology, anatomy, math, and MCAT prep. Teaching is one of my passions, and I have tutored since I was in high school. I continued to tutor while at Stony Brook University where I graduated with a double major in applied math and bioinformatics/computational biology. Due to unfortunate circumstances, I need to stay home for the next few months. I do not want to stop my tutoring so here I am looking to help students virtually! Medical school has made biology my favorite subject to tutor in as I've really nailed in me how to learn and understand a lot of material in a short amount of time. Medical school has taught me many approaches and tactics to making learning more efficient I wish I knew about earlier. I aim to share these methods with my students to make them stand out from the rest.

I am a student studying Diplomacy and Languages at Seton Hall University in North Jersey. I have been tutoring in various capacities for the past five years of my life, spanning many subjects and skills. The pinnacle of my experience would be my senior year when I was teaching English, Science and Math in Spanish at my High School as an English Language Learner (ELL) instructor. It is always my prerogative that the people I am working with have a complete understanding of material and are fully prepared to tackle whatever challenge has been facing them. I am very outgoing and always happy to help. My favorite subjects to tutor are those that involve mathematics. A solid understanding of math basics is essential to a successful path through the world of academia. I also have a passion for the general sciences and the spanish language and culture. I look forward to assisting you in your academic journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students typically find quadratic equations, systems of equations, and polynomial operations most challenging. Many also struggle with translating word problems into algebraic expressions—a skill heavily tested on the Regents. Additionally, graphing functions and interpreting transformations of parent functions trip up students who haven't internalized the connection between equations and their visual representations. A tutor can identify which of these areas are holding you back and build targeted practice around them.
The Regents has 37 questions across multiple choice and constructed response sections, with a 3-hour time limit. Most students benefit from spending 1-2 minutes per multiple choice question, saving 45-60 minutes for the longer constructed response problems where you must show all work. A tutor can help you practice pacing by working through full-length practice tests under timed conditions, identifying which question types slow you down, and developing strategies to skip difficult problems strategically and return to them later.
Constructed response questions require you to show all work and explain your reasoning—partial credit is available even if your final answer is wrong. Start by clearly stating what you're solving for, write out each algebraic step, and explain your reasoning when asked. Common mistakes include skipping steps (which costs points), making arithmetic errors mid-solution, or failing to check if your answer makes sense in context. Tutors who specialize in Regents prep can review your work to ensure you're earning maximum partial credit and catching careless errors before test day.
Taking full-length practice tests under timed conditions is the most effective way to pinpoint gaps. After each test, analyze which topics appear in questions you missed—you might notice a pattern (e.g., you consistently struggle with exponential functions or solving rational equations). A tutor can help you interpret your practice test results, prioritize which topics to review based on frequency and difficulty, and create a focused study plan that targets your specific weaknesses rather than re-studying material you already know.
Test anxiety often stems from uncertainty about whether you can solve problems under pressure. Repeated practice with authentic Regents questions and full-length exams builds genuine confidence because you've actually solved those types of problems before. A tutor can also teach you strategies for managing anxiety in the moment—like taking deep breaths before hard questions, using scratch paper to organize your thinking, and recognizing that you don't need to get every question right to pass. Knowing you've practiced extensively and have a solid plan reduces the panic that interferes with problem-solving.
Word problems require you to extract mathematical information from text, decide which operations or equations apply, solve, and interpret your answer in context—multiple steps where mistakes can happen. Students often rush through reading or misidentify what the problem is asking. A tutor can teach you a systematic approach: underline key information, define variables clearly, write the equation or system that matches the situation, solve step-by-step, and always check whether your answer makes sense (e.g., can a distance be negative?). Regular practice with Regents-style word problems helps you recognize common patterns and build speed.
The Regents provides a reference sheet with some formulas (like the quadratic formula and basic geometric area/volume formulas), but many essential algebraic formulas and properties are not included—you must know them. This includes factoring patterns, exponent rules, properties of equality, and function transformations. A tutor can help you distinguish between what you need to memorize versus what you can look up, and create effective study strategies (like flashcards or formula review sheets) to lock in the formulas you'll need to recall during the exam.
An effective schedule typically spans 4-8 weeks before the exam, with 3-4 study sessions per week. Early weeks focus on reviewing individual topics (polynomials, quadratics, systems) with targeted practice problems. Middle weeks shift to mixed-topic problem sets to build the ability to identify which skills apply. Final weeks emphasize full-length practice tests taken under timed conditions, followed by detailed review of errors. A tutor can customize this timeline based on your starting point and help you stay accountable—research on spaced repetition shows that spreading practice over weeks is far more effective than cramming days before the test.
