Step-by-Step Math Guidance – From Fundamentals to SAT Success

Milena A.

I hold advanced degrees in mathematics-related fields and have a strong foundation in teaching and problem-solving. Over the years, I have worked extensively with core math subjects such as pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and standardized test preparation, particularly SAT math. My academic training gives me both the depth to explain why concepts work and the clarity to break them down into approachable steps for students at different levels.

My tutoring experience spans both one-on-one settings and small groups. I have helped middle school and high school students build the fundamentals they need to succeed in algebra and geometry, as well as coached college-bound students through SAT preparation. Many of my students have come in struggling with confidence, and I make it a point to combine patience with structured guidance—focusing not only on solving problems but also on recognizing patterns and strategies that make math less intimidating.

When I teach, I emphasize active problem-solving, clear explanations, and step-by-step strategies. I encourage students to explain their reasoning back to me, which deepens their understanding and reveals areas that may need more attention. This interactive approach allows me to adapt to each student’s unique learning style, whether they need more visual explanations, repeated practice, or test-taking strategies under time pressure. My goal is always to ensure that students leave each session more confident, more independent, and better prepared for their next challenge.
