I am interested in Physics and Mathematics and working out practical problems from plumbing to electronics. I will someday go back for my Ph.D. in Physics but until then I am looking to grow as an engineer or computer programmer.

Series convergence tests — ratio, root, integral, comparison — are where most BC students start losing confidence, and Anatoliy tackles each one by building intuition about why a series behaves the way it does before drilling the mechanical steps. His background spans both medicine and advanced math, so he's comfortable connecting BC topics like Taylor series and parametric equations to real modeling problems. Rated 4.9 by students.
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 subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
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 electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
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 at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
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 towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
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 describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!
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 campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
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 tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
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 Medicine.
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 my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
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 Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.

Frequently Asked Questions
AP Calculus BC covers all topics from AP Calculus AB plus additional material including parametric equations, polar coordinates, vector-valued functions, and series/sequences. The course focuses on limits, derivatives, integrals, differential equations, and applications of calculus. For students in Kansas City preparing for the exam, understanding both the foundational AB concepts and the BC-specific extensions is essential for success on the multiple-choice and free-response sections.
Yes, AP Calculus BC is more challenging than AB because it covers all AB material plus additional topics like series, parametric equations, and polar coordinates. However, many students find BC manageable with focused preparation and consistent practice. The key difference is pacing and depth—BC moves faster and requires mastery of more complex problem types, particularly in the free-response section where series convergence and parametric motion problems frequently appear.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and consistency with practice. Students who work with a tutor typically see gains of 1-3 points on the 1-5 scale, with the most significant improvements when addressing specific weak areas like integration techniques, series problems, or free-response strategy. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps identify gaps in understanding that classroom instruction might miss, allowing you to focus study time where it matters most for test day.
A strong study schedule typically dedicates 4-6 weeks to focused review before the May exam, with earlier months spent mastering each unit as you progress through the course. Start by reviewing AB fundamentals, then move into BC-specific topics like series and parametric equations. In the final 2-3 weeks, shift to full practice tests under timed conditions to build pacing skills—the exam is 3 hours and 15 minutes with 45 multiple-choice questions and 6 free-response problems, so time management is critical.
Students often struggle with series convergence tests, parametric and polar calculus applications, and managing time on the free-response section. Many also find the transition from AB to BC material overwhelming if foundational derivative and integral skills aren't solid. Additionally, test anxiety can impact performance since the exam requires both conceptual understanding and quick execution of multi-step problems—working with a tutor helps build confidence through targeted practice on these specific pain points.
Aim to complete 3-5 full-length practice tests under timed conditions in the 4-6 weeks before the exam. The first practice test helps identify your weak areas, middle tests focus on strategy refinement and pacing, and final tests simulate exam day conditions. Between full tests, practice individual problem types and sections—especially free-response problems, which require detailed written explanations and often reveal gaps that multiple-choice practice misses.
Starting in the fall or early winter gives you the most time to build foundational skills and address gaps before the May exam. However, even starting in March or April can help if you focus on targeted review of weak topics and intensive practice test strategy. For students in Kansas City taking the exam, connecting with a tutor early enough to work through the full curriculum—or at least the BC-specific extensions—ensures you're not cramming unfamiliar material in the final weeks.
Look for tutors with strong mathematics backgrounds, ideally including calculus teaching or tutoring experience, and familiarity with the AP Calculus BC exam format and scoring rubric. Tutors who have helped students improve their scores and can discuss specific strategies for the free-response section are particularly valuable. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who understand both the content and the test-taking strategies that lead to score improvement.
