Hello! My name is Atticus, and I recently graduated from high school in New York City. I am currently taking a gap year before attending MIT in the fall of 2027, where I plan to study Aerospace Engineering. For the past three years, I have tutored students in grades 5 through 10, helping them build confidence and strengthen their understanding of mathematics. My academic background includes advanced coursework in Linear Algebra, Multivariable Calculus, and Physics, giving me a strong foundation for explaining concepts at many different levels.

I was taught mathematics using the Exeter method, which emphasizes guiding students toward discovering solutions rather than simply providing answers. That philosophy has shaped the way I tutor. My goal is not only to help students solve problems but also to help them understand the reasoning behind each solution. Because every student learns differently, I adapt my teaching style to each individual, using different explanations and problem-solving strategies until the material clicks.

I believe tutoring should be a collaborative process where students feel comfortable asking questions and learning from mistakes. Whether we're reviewing homework, preparing for an exam, or strengthening foundational skills, I strive to create a supportive environment where students can learn with confidence. I respond promptly to messages, welcome communication with both students and parents, and look forward to helping each student reach their goals.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have been tutoring students in Algebra 1 for the past three years and enjoy helping them build a strong foundation. I can help with linear equations and inequalities, systems of equations, functions, graphing, exponents, polynomials, and quadratics, as well as word problems and applications that often make these topics more challenging. My approach is based on my own experience with the Exeter method: guiding students toward the answer rather than simply giving it to them, focusing on understanding each step and helping them develop problem-solving skills they can carry into more advanced math.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I have a strong background in tutoring algebra and enjoy working with students through the challenges they face in Algebra 2. I can help with polynomial and rational functions, exponentials and logarithms, complex numbers, quadratics, systems of equations, sequences, and graphing, as well as preparing for tests and standardized exams. I focus on helping students understand why a method works rather than simply memorizing steps. My methods are based on my own experience with the Exeter mathematics. I guide students through problems so they become more confident tackling unfamiliar questions independently.
Calculus

Calculus

I have been tutoring mathematics for the past three years, with a particular focus on helping students understand challenging concepts rather than simply memorize formulas. I earned a 5 on the AP Calculus BC exam and have spent the past two years helping many of my friends work through difficult calculus topics and problems. In my tutoring, I guide students toward the answer through questions and explanations, emphasizing the reasoning behind each step so they can build confidence and solve problems independently.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I have been tutoring math for the past three years, working with students across a range of ages and helping younger students build a strong and positive foundation in math. I enjoy working with children and finding different ways to make challenging concepts approachable, whether through visual explanations, examples, or working through problems together. My teaching is influenced by the Exeter method I learned through my own education, where students are guided toward solutions rather than simply being given the answer. I try to bring that same approach to my tutoring, helping students develop confidence, curiosity, and the ability to work through problems independently.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I have been tutoring math for the past three years and enjoy helping students build a strong foundation in pre-algebra before moving on to more advanced topics. I can help with fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios, proportions, negative numbers, equations, inequalities, and introductory geometry, while also helping students develop stronger problem-solving skills. My approach is based on my own experience with Exeter Mathematics: guiding students toward the answer rather than simply giving it to them, focusing on understanding each step so they can become more confident and independent with math.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I have been tutoring mathematics for the past three years, with a particular focus on helping students understand challenging concepts rather than simply memorize formulas. I earned a 5 on the AP Calculus BC exam and have spent the past two years helping many of my friends work through difficult calculus and precalculus topics and problems. In my tutoring, I guide students toward the answer through questions and explanations, emphasizing the reasoning behind each step so they can build confidence and solve problems independently.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I have three years of experience tutoring students in grades 5–10 in mathematics. I earned a 1520 on the SAT after raising my score from 1360 over just one summer. Although my official SAT Math score was 780, I consistently scored between 780 and 800 on full-length practice exams. I also completed multiple prep books, including those from The Princeton Review and Barron's, demonstrating both mastery of the material and an understanding of the strategies needed to improve. Because I have personally gone through the process of significantly improving my own score, I can help students strengthen both their mathematical skills and their test-taking strategies.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

I have a strong background in trigonometry and enjoy helping high-school students build a clear understanding of the concepts behind the formulas. I can help students with topics commonly covered in Algebra 2, Precalculus, and SAT Math, including right-triangle trigonometry, the unit circle, trigonometric functions and graphs, identities, and solving equations. My approach is to guide students through problems step by step, focusing on why each method works rather than simply memorizing formulas, so they can approach unfamiliar problems with confidence.
