Personalized math tutoring that builds confidence and helps students succeed.
Helping students discover that math doesn't have to be overwhelming.
Hi! I'm Emilie Hathaway, the founder of Math Uncomplicated. My goal is simple: to help students understand math, build confidence, and realize they're capable of far more than they think.
I started Math Uncomplicated because I believe every student deserves the opportunity to experience success in math. One of my favorite moments as a tutor is seeing a student go from saying, "I don't get it," to "That actually makes sense." Watching that confidence grow is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.
I believe learning happens best in a patient, encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. Whether we're preparing for a Regents exam, reviewing classroom material, or getting a head start for next year, every lesson is personalized to meet students where they are while helping them build understanding, confidence, and independence one step at a time.
My passion for teaching math comes from both my professional background and years of working with students. I've had the opportunity to apply mathematics in engineering, education, and one-on-one tutoring, giving me a unique perspective that I bring to every lesson. Whether I'm helping an elementary student build a strong mathematical foundation or preparing a high school student for a Regents exam, my goal is always the same—to help students understand math, build confidence, and discover that they are capable of success.
Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics & Physics.
Former Systems Engineer with Lockheed Martin and L3 Communications, where I developed analytical and problem-solving skills that continue to influence the way I teach today.
More than seven years of professional math tutoring, working with students from elementary school through high school, including Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Regents preparation, SAT Math, and homeschool students.
I work with students of all ability levels, from those who need extra support to those looking for additional challenges. Every lesson is personalized to each student's goals, learning style, and pace.
I believe every student is capable of learning math. Sometimes all it takes is the right explanation, a little patience, and someone who believes in them.
One of the most rewarding parts of tutoring is watching students realize they can solve problems they once thought were impossible. Those moments of understanding often become moments of confidence, and seeing that confidence grow is what I enjoy most about teaching.
Rather than asking students to memorize procedures, I focus on helping them understand why concepts work. When students develop a deeper understanding, they gain confidence, become more independent, and are better prepared to solve new problems on their own.
Every student learns differently, so I adapt each lesson to meet individual learning styles, goals, and pace. My hope is that students leave each session with a stronger understanding of math, greater confidence in their abilities, and the belief that they are capable of tackling new challenges.
Whether you prefer the convenience of online tutoring or meeting in person at the Ballston Community Public Library, lessons are designed to fit your student's needs.
“Wish I found you years ago.”
“She enjoyed it today and said she would like you to be her teacher all the time.”
“Very kind and patient... and knows her stuff!!”
