The jump from Pre-Calculus to AP Calculus AB is where many students first encounter limits, derivatives, and the formal reasoning behind instantaneous rates of change. Wanqi breaks these ideas down by connecting them to real-world applications from her civil engineering studies — slope becomes stres...

Limits, the chain rule, and related rates each represent a different way of thinking about change, and Harrison breaks each one down on its own terms before connecting them into the bigger AB framework. His interdisciplinary science background means he can pull examples from physics, biology, and en...

Limits, derivatives, and the fundamental theorem of calculus can feel abstract until someone connects them to what's actually happening on a graph. Nathan earned a strong AP exam score in calculus and continues using these tools daily in his computer science program at UCF. He's especially good at w...

When students can actually read an f'(x) graph and explain what it says about f(x) — not just differentiate polynomials — that's when the AB exam stops feeling impossible. Noelle's computer science training at the undergraduate level built her calculus chops through algorithm analysis and continuous...

When limits and continuity stop being intuitive — usually right around the epsilon-delta definitions or piecewise functions — that's where Hassan's CS training actually pays off. Programming in Java and C++ builds the same logical precision that AP Calculus AB demands: breaking a problem into cases,...

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old e...

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all su...

I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant ...

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults...

I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best descr...

I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campu...

I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medici...

I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received ...

I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tut...

I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Com...
