Mechanical engineering at UT means Yucheng works with polynomial, exponential, and trigonometric models in applied settings — designing systems where function behavior isn't abstract but determines whether something actually works.

Inaya
BA University

Hi, my name is Inaya, and I'm so excited to be a tutor! I have been tutoring for four years and in that time I have learned many different methods of tutoring. Some student need more hands on help and others just need to be guided into working on their own. Every kid is different and that is one of the greats parts of tutoring.

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."

Channing
BA University
7+ Years Tutoring

Where most students stumble in AP Pre-Calculus is the shift from computing answers to reasoning about how functions behave across different representations — tables, graphs, and equations all telling the same story. Channing's deep math background, spanning competition math through multivariable calculus, means he can trace every AP Pre-Calculus concept back to the core logic driving it, especially when piecewise and trigonometric models start demanding real analytical thinking instead of rote steps. He's also taught enough younger students to know exactly which algebraic habits need fixing before the course's pace leaves anyone behind.

Utkarsha
BA University

Hi! I'm Utkarsha, and I genuinely enjoy helping students of all levels and learning styles better know subjects they would like help with. Whether you want to know math, English, Tableau, data science, or economics better, or are prepping for the SAT, I'm here to make it understandable and even enjoyable until you're confident! As a math major & an econ minor with a near-perfect SAT score (Math 800, English 780), I'm excited to share my know-how and deep understanding in these subjects. Throughout my years of experience in tutoring, I've successfully coached over 100 students to improve their math class grades (in all levels from elementary school math to college) and reach near-perfect SAT scores via my unique personalized guidance on core content and test-taking strategies. That's because my tutoring approach is focused on bridging the gap between where you're at and where you want to reach in terms of what you know. Let's work together to reach (or even exceed) your goals!

Anton
AB Vanderbilt University

I am a sophomore at Vanderbilt University studying Applied Mathematics and Economics, with a strong passion for helping students build confidence in math. As a Course Assistant for calculus, I work closely with students to break down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps and create an environment where they feel comfortable asking questions. I focus on building a strong foundation while also helping students develop problem-solving strategies they can apply independently. Having worked with students at different levels, I understand that everyone learns differently, and I tailor my approach to fit each student's needs. My goal is not only to help students improve their grades, but also to help them feel more confident and capable in math.
