Alison
Undergraduate Degree Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus
6+ Years Tutoring

When I was young, I realized that I thought differently about Mathematics than my peers. I read the textbook and instantly understood it. Meanwhile, they struggled for hours. Seeing my childhood friends struggle in this way tugged on my heartstrings the same then as it does to see this struggle in my adult friends today. Because of this, I have developed a great passion for helping other people understand complex ideas. I have a strong belief that the best thing for a society is the spread of advanced critical thinking skills, so any learning assistance I can offer someone is doubly satisfying to me in that way. I studied for two years at Georgia Tech working towards a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, before having to withdraw for medical reasons. Through my work as a tutor, I intend to fund my return to collegiate education, although I am now interested in a degree more directly related to Mathematics. I enjoy tutoring many levels of Math, from basic Algebra all the way to mid-level Calculus. In fact, regardless of the topic at hand, I place a heavy emphasis on the importance of algebraic derivation, and understanding of Algebra in general. As they say, "Calculus is two steps of magic, and 30 steps of Algebra."

Abigail
BA The University of Alabama
1+ Years Tutoring

Studying Mechanical Engineering at Alabama, Abigail encounters polynomial, trigonometric, and exponential functions not as textbook exercises but as the language she uses to analyze forces, motion, and system dynamics every week. She channels that hands-on familiarity into AP Pre-Calculus by drilling down on how students read and interpret graphs — particularly the transformation and end-behavior reasoning the AP framework weights heavily. Her tutoring across the full math sequence from pre-algebra through AP Calculus means she can quickly spot the specific algebraic gaps holding a student back.

Karthik
BS The Texas A&M University System Office

Howdy! My name is Karthik, and I look forward to meeting you. I've been tutoring for over 10 years, and am excited to give you the tools to achieve success! I've seen it all, from frustrated parents who need their 8 year old to learn how to read, to high school/college students just needing a grade boost to pass a class, to retirees who finally have enough time to pick up that language they never got around to. I've personally taken courses on, passed tests for, and used the knowledge in real life for all the subjects I tutor, so I know not just how to learn, but also how to apply. If you'd like to get your personlized gameplan to never need tutoring again, help me help you and book a session today!

Syed
MS University Of Western Ontario • BA Lahore University of Management Sciences
2+ Years Tutoring

Training AI models at Western University means Syed regularly implements the polynomial, trigonometric, and exponential functions that AP Pre-Calculus covers — fitting curves to data, tuning activation functions, and modeling nonlinear relationships all require genuine fluency with how these function families behave. His electrical engineering background at LUMS added a layer of signal-processing intuition that makes him especially sharp on trigonometric identities and periodic modeling, two areas where the AP exam demands more than rote computation. He walks students through the reasoning behind composition and transformation questions until the logic feels automatic, not memorized.

Raha
MS Wayne State University • MS Amirkabir University of Technology
4+ Years Tutoring

I have a Master's degree in Chemical Engineering, with additional graduate studies in Chemical Engineering and Computer Science, and over 10 years of experience teaching and tutoring STEM subjects. I work with students of different ages, backgrounds, and learning styles in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and related subjects. I believe the best tutoring starts with understanding how each student thinks. My goal is to identify where a concept becomes unclear, explain it from the student's perspective, and help them build both understanding and confidence. I want my students to learn not just how to find the right answer, but why it is the right answer and how to approach similar problems independently. I believe there is always learning in teaching, and that is one of the reasons I continue to enjoy working with students after all these years.

5+ Years Tutoring

When I was in high school, I remember seeing the joy of my math teachers when they would teach in class. This inspired me to become a high school math teacher. The first step was becoming a peer tutor to my classmates. This lead to tutoring math to college students. Then tutoring students while working as a TA. Then I worked as a data scientist which not only did I understand more how to apply math in the workspace, but also learned how to explain math concepts to coworkers without a strong math background. This helped me to shape my tutoring philosophy to relate to the person being tutored and this opened the door to me teaching high school calculus 1 & calculus 2! I am currently teaching precalculus at a community college.

Gordon
BA Arizona State University
1+ Years Tutoring

Gordon's biology degree from Arizona State required constant work with the mathematical models AP Pre-Calculus is built around — logistic growth curves, exponential decay in pharmacokinetics, and sinusoidal cycles in ecological data all demanded real fluency with function behavior, not just formula memorization. His experience tutoring the full math ladder from pre-algebra through Calculus BC means he can pinpoint exactly which algebraic or trigonometric gaps are tripping a student up and address them before they compound. He's especially sharp at teaching students to move between algebraic and graphical representations, which is where the AP framework puts its heaviest emphasis.

MBA Pace University-New York
9+ Years Tutoring

I love math, and have a passion for sharing that love and knowledge. Progressing through courses of mathematics teaches much beyond what is on the page. It teaches problem-solving, critical and creative thinking. I try not only to teach the mechanics of math, but instill an appreciation for the skills the process can develop. And while math is my favorite subject to tutor, I have had training in and am qualified for all sections of SAT and ACT test prep, and enjoy working with students to help them learn and meet their college goals.
