Pursuing a math degree at the University of Minnesota means Matt is taking the same theorems AP Calculus AB covers — limits, continuity, the Fundamental Theorem — and proving them rigorously in his coursework, which gives him a deeper-than-usual sense of why each rule works and where students' intui...

The jump from Pre-Calc to AP Calculus AB is where a lot of students lose their footing, especially around limits, the chain rule, and related rates problems. Broden breaks these concepts down by connecting each new idea back to the graphical intuition students already have, building toward the kind ...

Teaching across differential equations, organic chemistry, and physical chemistry means Nate's calculus knowledge isn't compartmentalized — he's someone who routinely uses derivatives and integrals as working tools across disciplines, which shapes how he explains AB concepts like the chain rule or a...

A math minor and economics concentration at Pomona means David didn't just pass through calculus — he kept using derivatives and integrals to model policy questions like cost-benefit tradeoffs and marginal social returns, which makes the AB curriculum's application problems feel like second nature. ...

Limits, derivatives, and integrals each build on the one before — so a shaky grasp of limit behavior can quietly sabotage everything that follows. Cory breaks AP Calculus AB into those building blocks, making sure students understand the chain rule or u-substitution conceptually before drilling the ...

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 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'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 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 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 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 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 am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science.
