Experienced High/Middle School Tutor Specializing in Algebra

Andy R.

I am a high-achieving student with a strong academic background in mathematics and extensive experience tutoring peers in Algebra I, Algebra II, Pre-Algebra, and SAT Math. I am currently enrolled in advanced mathematics coursework, including AP Calculus BC, and previously earned a score of 5 on the AP Calculus AB exam. I also received a 780 on the SAT Math section. I consistently apply these concepts both in my own studies and while tutoring, helping students understand not just how to solve problems, but why the methods work. My passion for teaching math comes from seeing students gain confidence once concepts are explained clearly and in a way that matches their learning style. I focus on building strong foundations, because I believe that most struggles in math come from gaps in earlier understanding rather than lack of ability.

I previously tutored through Schoolhouse.world, where I was selected as an SAT Math tutor based on strong performance and subject mastery. Through this platform, I have worked with students of varying skill levels in both group and one-on-one settings, helping them improve problem-solving strategies, accuracy, and test confidence. I also have experience tutoring classmates and peers in Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, and Statistics, often breaking down complex topics into step-by-step explanations that are easier to understand.

When tutoring, I tailor each session to the student’s needs and goals. I typically begin by identifying areas of confusion, then explain concepts using clear examples, guided practice, and real test-style problems. I make sure students feel comfortable asking questions and encourage them to explain their thinking so I can correct misunderstandings early. I am easy to communicate with and will always have fast responses, while offering flexible hours.
