About Me
Hi, I'm Brodie.
My name is Brodie Kushner, and it's nice to meet you! I graduated from The Hun School this year, and I will continue my studies at Princeton University this fall, where I have already taken four semesters' worth of math as part of a high school program.
I've always loved math's intricacies and applications to various fields of study — including music, languages, and sports statistics. I enjoy working with other people who have a passion for math and a desire to improve. I offer an approach to students that blends work with fun, intuition with rigor, and rules with creativity!
My Approach
My teaching style is built on four core pillars:
- Conceptual Clarity: Math isn't about memorizing steps or formulas — it's about understanding why things work. By focusing on fundamental concepts, I help students build strong mathematical intuition that makes even the most complex problems feel natural.
- Personalized Flexibility: Every student learns differently, and lessons should adapt to you, not the other way around. Whether we need to pause to rebuild a foundation or speed up to tackle advanced material, every session is customized in real-time.
- Genuine Connection: I treat every student as a peer. Learning math can be intimidating, but I strive to build a collaborative, encouraging environment where it's completely safe to make mistakes and ask questions.
- Vigorous and Joyful Learning: Math is hard, but conquering it is incredibly rewarding. I bring energy and enthusiasm to every session to show students that challenging yourself can be a deeply satisfying and genuinely fun experience. Click here to learn more!

When I'm not tutoring, I'm probably on the golf course, studying Latin, or watching the Yankee game on TV. I'm also a huge fan of board and card games, and I like to play the piano in my free time!
