Finding An Algebra Tutor

Working with students from NYC schools such as Stuyvesant High School or Brooklyn School of Inquiry, an algebra tutor can break down mathematical operations, focusing on solving equations and finding the values of variables. Tutoring can also guide your student in understanding why they’re getting wrong answers. This is often because they’re confused about a particular concept, such as the distribution of terms or order of operations, or they drop symbols like negative signs and parentheses.
