Madeleine

Applied Mathematics Tutor • +73 Subjects

I am a student at the Barrett Honors College, a part of Arizona State University. I expect to earn my Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics with a focus on physics in December 2022. While my degree has had a heavy focus on physical sciences, I have also completed a variety of coursework in social and life sciences to prepare for my post-graduation plans. After graduation, I hope to earn either a Bachelor of Science in Nursing or a Master of Science in Entry to Nursing Practice and begin work as a pediatric nurse. I decided to change my path from mathematics and physics to nursing because I perform best and feel happiest when I am working with others, which is why I am so excited to have the opportunity to be a tutor. I first realized my passion for people-centered work in high school when I volunteered with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation to help educate financial donors and newly diagnosed families on the science of type 1 diabetes. My passion grew throughout my time in college, during which I joined a division of a Rotary club, which matches people of all ages with service projects within their local community, became a teaching assistant for a Socratic-seminar discussion and writing course for freshmen in Barrett Honors College, and worked as a student researcher in a physics lab, where I had to collaborate with my colleagues to address research problems and clearly present my specific field of work to others who were less well versed in the topic.

Andy

12th Grade math Tutor • +55 Subjects

I'm a certified math teacher, professional sous chef, and budding comedian willing to tutor in my spare time! A graduate from the University of Texas at Dallas in 2013, I have a multitude of both professional and private teaching/tutoring experience and skills. The teaching certification program I completed is heavily focused on STEM education and creating well-rounded students for today's technology centered world. Our lesson plans were both hands-on and thoroughly engaging while ensuring efficacy in education. I firmly believe that every student has the potential for "math literacy"; with a little help, anyone can be a math-confident person. I am most comfortable teaching math subjects (from preschool to BC Calculus), but I do have some background in reading/writing tutoring. I currently work as a sous chef four nights a week, but otherwise my schedule is open. I prefer online but am willing to travel up to 20-25 miles if needed. Contact me with any questions; I am here to help.

Frequently Asked Questions

Students often find the transition from pure theory to real-world application challenging—understanding when and how to use mathematical models in practical contexts. Common trouble spots include setting up equations from word problems (translating language into mathematical notation), working with systems of equations and optimization problems, and understanding the assumptions behind mathematical models. Many students also struggle with interpreting results in context, such as understanding what a negative solution means in a real-world scenario or recognizing when a mathematical answer doesn't make practical sense.

A tutor can break down the modeling process step-by-step: identifying variables, recognizing patterns in data, selecting appropriate mathematical tools, and validating results against reality. Rather than presenting formulas as rules to memorize, tutors help you see *why* certain models work for specific situations—for example, why exponential functions describe population growth but linear models don't. This conceptual approach builds your ability to tackle unfamiliar problems by understanding the underlying logic, rather than searching for a memorized formula.

In Applied Mathematics, showing work reveals your reasoning and makes it easier to catch errors in your modeling process or calculations. A tutor can teach you how to organize multi-step problems clearly—defining variables upfront, explaining your assumptions, showing each transformation, and interpreting your final answer. This structured approach not only improves grades but also helps you debug your own thinking when results don't match expectations, a critical skill for applied work.

Tutors teach a systematic approach: read carefully to identify what you know and what you're solving for, define variables clearly (like 'let x = number of hours'), rewrite the problem in mathematical language, and check that your equation makes sense before solving. Many students benefit from drawing diagrams or creating tables to visualize relationships. A tutor can also help you recognize common problem types—mixture problems, rate problems, optimization scenarios—so you develop a toolkit of strategies rather than feeling lost each time.

Applied Mathematics requires seeing how algebra, functions, calculus, and statistics work together to solve real problems. A tutor helps you recognize when to use linear regression versus exponential modeling, how derivatives relate to optimization, or why understanding function behavior matters for prediction. By working through connected examples—like using calculus to find maximum profit or statistics to validate a model—you build mental bridges between topics rather than treating them as isolated units.

Tutors break large problems into manageable chunks and celebrate progress at each stage, which reduces the overwhelm that triggers anxiety. They also help you develop a problem-solving routine—pause to understand what's being asked, plan your approach, execute step-by-step, and verify your answer—so you feel more in control. By working through similar problems with guidance, you build confidence that you can handle complexity, and anxiety naturally decreases as competence grows.

A tutor teaches you to always step back and ask: Does this answer fit the context? If you're modeling the number of people, can you have a negative answer? If you're calculating time, is 1000 hours reasonable? They help you identify the constraints and assumptions in your model, then check whether your solution respects them. This validation step is what separates applied mathematicians from pure mathematicians—it's the bridge between abstract math and usable results.

Tutors are skilled at translating between different notations and approaches—whether your course emphasizes matrices, graphical methods, or computational tools. They help you understand that the underlying mathematics is the same, just expressed differently, which reduces confusion when switching textbooks or instructors. This flexibility is especially valuable in Applied Mathematics, where different fields (engineering, economics, biology) sometimes use the same concepts with different terminology.
