Having served as a TA for honors coursework at VCU while carrying a heavy quantitative load across math and science, Alisha knows how to break down the conceptual leaps that trip students up in pre-calculus — especially the shift from manipulating equations to reasoning about function behavior, doma...

A PhD track in engineering design at Virginia Tech and an applied math degree from UCLA mean Professor Florence has spent decades on both sides of pre-calculus — the pure theory and the real-world modeling it feeds into. She zeroes in on the algebraic-to-functional thinking shift, particularly how p...

Biochemistry at Boston College and graduate biomedical research at Tufts meant Hunter spent years relying on the exact skills pre-calculus builds — manipulating exponential models for reaction kinetics, working through logarithmic relationships in pH calculations, and applying trigonometric reasonin...

After Princeton and a stint at Google, Rick returned to academia to pursue a PhD in Psychology — but his geosciences background means he's spent serious time with the polynomial modeling, trigonometric applications, and function analysis that form the backbone of pre-calculus. He teaches these conce...

I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a Bachelor of Science in Physics. I work with students in a variety of subjects, including Math, Physics, and Chemistry. I have experience working with students on the Autism spectrum and with ADHD.

The leap from Algebra 2 to Pre-Calculus catches many students off guard — suddenly they're juggling trigonometric identities, polar coordinates, and parametric equations all at once. Joseph approaches each unit by anchoring it to the graphing and function analysis skills students already have, so ne...

Every calculus concept Artem tackles in his electrical and computer engineering program at NC State traces back to something in pre-calculus — the behavior of rational functions, the mechanics of trigonometric graphs, the logic of composite and inverse functions. He teaches these topics as someone w...

Jenna's master's in math education means she's studied how students actually learn the leap from algebra to calculus — and pre-calculus is exactly where that transition happens. She zeroes in on the conceptual shifts that trip people up, like moving from solving equations to analyzing how entire fun...

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'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...
