About Elliot
Hi! I'm Elliot, a Molecular and Cell Biology student at the University of Wisconsin–Madison with three years of professional math tutoring experience. I have worked as a high school math tutor in the Madison Metropolitan School District, helping students in Algebra, Geometry, Algebra II, and Precalculus. Alongside my biology degree, I have completed extensive university-level coursework in mathematics and physics, giving me a strong foundation in both the practical and theoretical aspects of STEM.
My passion for tutoring began long before it became a job. When I was nine years old, I started helping my younger sister with math at our kitchen table. As I continued tutoring my siblings over the years, I realized that every student learns differently. What worked for one person didn't always work for another, so I learned to adapt my explanations using visual models, real-world examples, and different problem-solving strategies until the concepts truly made sense.
Beyond tutoring, I have spent three summers as a camp counselor, mentoring children ages 5–15, and have served as a classroom assistant in K5, 1st grade, and 7th grade classrooms. These experiences have strengthened my ability to connect with students of all ages, build positive relationships, and create a supportive learning environment.
Whether a student needs help catching up, preparing for an exam, or pushing themselves to the next level, my goal is always the same: to help them develop confidence, independence, and a genuine understanding of the material—not just memorize procedures to get through the next test.

My lessons are always tailored to the individual student. Whether that means reteaching classroom material using a different approach, creating targeted practice problems that reinforce concepts while extending students' skills, or working through homework assignments and test reviews to build confidence and preparedness, each lesson is designed around what will help that student succeed.
Two overarching principles guide my teaching: progressive autonomy and conceptual connections. I will gladly walk students through each step of a problem-solving process, but my goal is for them to become increasingly independent. We do not move on until they are comfortable applying concepts and solving problems on their own.
I also believe that lasting understanding comes from recognizing how ideas connect. Rather than treating each topic as an isolated unit, I help students build a strong foundation so that new material feels like a natural extension of what they already know. By emphasizing these connections, students develop a deeper understanding that extends beyond memorization and prepares them for more advanced coursework.
My lessons are well-suited for 1st-12th grade, particularly those looking to strengthen their understanding, improve their confidence, or challenge themselves beyond the classroom curriculum. Whether a student is catching up, preparing for an exam, or striving for top performance, I adapt my teaching style and lesson structure to meet their individual goals.
