Matthew
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!
Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
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! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

Samuel
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Mathcad is a powerful computational software tool used by engineers, scientists, and mathematicians to solve complex calculations, create technical documents, and visualize data. Students typically encounter Mathcad in advanced math, physics, engineering, or technical courses where they need to move beyond manual calculations and learn to use industry-standard tools.
Many students struggle with Mathcad because it requires both strong foundational math skills and understanding of the software's syntax and functions. A tutor can help bridge this gap by explaining the underlying mathematics while teaching you how to structure problems, use Mathcad's built-in functions effectively, and troubleshoot errors in your code or calculations.
Students typically struggle with several key areas:
- Syntax and formatting: Understanding Mathcad's specific syntax for functions, variables, and equations can be confusing, especially when small errors produce unexpected results
- Translating math to code: Converting a mathematical problem or formula into Mathcad's computational structure requires both math understanding and coding logic
- Debugging: When calculations don't work, students often don't know whether the issue is mathematical, computational, or a misunderstanding of what they're trying to solve
- Linking concepts: Using Mathcad effectively means understanding not just how to use individual functions, but how they connect to solve larger problems
A tutor helps you develop problem-solving strategies, shows you how to break complex tasks into manageable steps, and teaches you to think critically about whether your Mathcad solution actually makes sense mathematically.
An effective Mathcad tutor should have three key strengths: solid technical knowledge of Mathcad's features and functions, strong foundational math skills, and the ability to explain complex concepts clearly. Your tutor should be able to help you understand not just "how to use Mathcad" but "why this approach solves the problem correctly."
The best tutors also ask diagnostic questions to identify whether your struggles stem from math concepts, software skills, or problem-solving strategy—then tailor instruction accordingly. They can show you multiple approaches to the same problem and help you develop confidence in using Mathcad as a tool to verify and deepen your mathematical understanding.
Yes. Mathcad is used across many disciplines—engineering programs, advanced calculus, physics, and technical electives all incorporate it in different ways. Expert tutors understand how Mathcad fits into your specific curriculum and what your instructors expect you to accomplish with it.
They're also familiar with how Mathcad Prime (the modern version) differs from older versions, and can teach you whichever platform your course requires. Whether you're using Mathcad primarily for numerical problem-solving, symbolic mathematics, or creating technical documents with embedded calculations, a tutor can help you master the features most relevant to your course.
Many students try to jump straight into Mathcad without planning their approach, which leads to errors and frustration. A tutor teaches you to think through a problem step-by-step before opening the software: What am I solving for? What formulas or concepts apply? What intermediate steps do I need? This deliberate planning makes the Mathcad work much smoother.
Tutors also help you develop habits like documenting your work with text and comments, checking whether your results are mathematically reasonable, and using Mathcad's visualization tools (graphs, plots) to verify solutions. Over time, you'll recognize patterns in how to structure different types of problems, building confidence and independence in tackling new challenges.
With personalized tutoring, most students can expect to: understand how to structure and solve problems efficiently in Mathcad, gain confidence in troubleshooting errors, improve grades on assignments and exams that involve Mathcad, and develop the ability to learn new Mathcad features independently as your course progresses.
Perhaps most importantly, you'll begin to see Mathcad as a powerful tool that extends your mathematical thinking rather than as an obstacle. Many students report that once they understand the underlying strategy—how to break problems into logical steps—their overall approach to engineering and technical problem-solving improves significantly.
The sooner the better. If you're just beginning to use Mathcad in a course, getting a tutor early helps you build solid habits and confidence from the start—preventing frustration and mistakes later. If you're already struggling with Mathcad assignments, tutoring can quickly identify whether your challenge is the software itself, the underlying math, or your problem-solving approach.
Many students benefit from even a few sessions focused on Mathcad fundamentals: how to set up variables, use functions correctly, structure a calculation, and interpret results. From there, you can either continue with regular support or reach out as needed for specific projects or topics.
