About me:
Hi, I’m Pete Vivonetto — a structural engineer and math tutor based in Boston, and a former Division I lacrosse player and team captain at Brown University.
I’ve always been passionate about solving problems — on the field, in the classroom, and now in my career. That same preparation, focus, and encouragement I brought to my teammates are the qualities I bring to every student I work with.
Why work with me:
Strong academic foundation
I’ve studied math at a high level, earning degrees in Economics from Brown University and Civil Engineering from the University at Buffalo.
Real-world perspective
As a structural engineer, I use advanced math and problem-solving every day — and I help students see how these same skills connect to the real world beyond the classroom.
Proven tutoring experience
With over 12 years of tutoring experience, I’ve learned how to quickly identify where students struggle and create a clear, personalized plan for improvement. My approach has consistently helped students boost their grades, test scores, and confidence.
Flexible and convenient
All sessions are held online via live video call, allowing students to learn from anywhere and fit lessons seamlessly into their schedule.
Middle School Math Support
Middle school is where confidence in math is built — or lost. I help students strengthen their foundation, learn to think critically, and prepare for high school-level math. Sessions are engaging, low-pressure, and tailored to the student’s pace.
Topics include:
Algebra Foundations
Fractions, decimals, & percentages
Data & Probability
Word problem strategies
Intro to equations & geometry
High School Math Tutoring
High school math can feel like a whirlwind. Whether it’s Algebra I, Geometry, or AP Precalc, I break down concepts into digestible steps, explain the “why” behind the “how,” and help students succeed in class and on exams.
Courses I tutor:
Algebra I & II
Geometry
Precalculus
Calculus
Trigonometry
College-level Algebra & Stats
SAT & ACT Math Test Prep
Test prep doesn’t have to be stressful — but it does need a plan. I help students develop strategies for every question type, strengthen core skills, and prepare with purpose.
Included in test prep:
SAT Math (calculator & no calculator)
ACT Math Section
Personalized practice plan
Timed drills & pacing strategies
Anxiety-reducing test tips
