Zachary Brewer is a private tutor specializing in elementary and middle school math, writing for all ages, and technology. With over 15 years of experience in education, he brings a hands-on, interdisciplinary approach to tutoring that helps students connect core academic skills to creative, real-world applications. Zach is also a coder and curriculum designer with a growing focus on generative AI. He is currently developing instructional materials on prompt engineering and exploring how to teach students to use AI tools for research, creative work, and strategic planning.
Zach currently teaches 4th grade math at Harlem Children’s Zone Promise Academy II, a role that blends his passion for rigorous academics with his commitment to educational equity. Prior to this, he served for over a decade as the Educational Technology Specialist at Corlears School, an independent elementary school in New York City. There, he designed and implemented a comprehensive PreK–5 technology curriculum that integrated digital literacy and creative problem-solving into every subject. His students explored math by programming interactive art, studied science through animation projects, and developed writing and storytelling skills by producing their own short films.
Earlier in his career, Zach worked as a math enrichment teacher at P.S. 85 in the Bronx, where he created Math Art, a visual, project-based curriculum for grades 2–4. The activities in Math Art helped students build fluency with key math concepts while also nurturing creativity and confidence. Zach later self-published the curriculum as a book, which has sold over 6,000 copies and is used by teachers around the country.
Outside the classroom, Zach enjoys hiking and camping, photography, and playing 1960s and ’70s pop songs on the piano.
