Hi! I love to help students with the subject I love most: Math. I find joy in finding patterns, providing explanation in the world around me, and above all else, learning something new. I have my Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics (concentration in Statistics) at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. I've tutored virtually every high school/introductory college course available for about 4 years, from Algebra I to Calculus (I , II , III) to Introductory Statistics. I believe in not only teaching how to solve a problem, but making sure that a student truly understands *why* a given method works. Instead of just learning how to drive the metaphorical car, I show the student what happens under the hood. This philosophy has resulted in every single one of my students not only improving their scores, but more importantly attaining an underlying confidence in the subject material.

Before she found her footing in STEM, Riya struggled with the same abstract leaps that trip up most AP Pre-Calculus students — making sense of how trigonometric, exponential, and polynomial functions actually behave instead of just memorizing formulas. That personal experience shapes how she teaches the course now as a Computer Science major at Texas A&M, where she breaks down composition and transformation questions into concrete, step-by-step reasoning that builds real understanding. She's especially sharp at helping students bridge the gap between algebraic manipulation and the graphical interpretation the AP framework demands.

Designing rocket trajectories and orbital models in his Aerospace Engineering program at UT Austin meant Pranad lived inside the trigonometric, polynomial, and exponential functions that AP Pre-Calculus is built around — they weren't textbook abstractions but tools for predicting how things move through space. He teaches the course by anchoring each function family to that intuition, especially when students hit the conceptual jump from computing answers to interpreting what a model's behavior actually means. His emphasis on connecting algebraic manipulation to graphical reasoning lines up directly with what the AP framework rewards.

Having earned a BS in Biology with High Honors from New Mexico State, Kayley knows the math-science pipeline firsthand — AP Pre-Calculus concepts like exponential growth models and trigonometric cycles showed up constantly in her genetics and ecology coursework. She leans into that cross-disciplinary angle, using real biological scenarios to make abstract function behavior feel concrete. Her approach zeroes in on building the graphical intuition the AP framework rewards, especially around transformations and end behavior.

Being a math and physics major at MIT means Bereket doesn't just know the polynomial, trigonometric, and exponential models in AP Pre-Calculus — he uses them as building blocks in courses that assume total fluency. He teaches the course by slowing down at the exact moments where students lose the thread, particularly when function composition and transformations shift from mechanical steps to questions about behavior and interpretation. That patience with conceptual understanding over formula memorization is what makes his approach click for students preparing for the AP exam.

Northwestern's engineering curriculum threw Katherine into differential equations and systems modeling early, which means she built her fluency with polynomial, trigonometric, and exponential functions under real problem-solving pressure — not just in a precalculus classroom. She uses that background to teach AP Pre-Calculus with an emphasis on function composition and rate-of-change reasoning, walking students through how to interpret what a model is doing before worrying about computing an answer. Her engineering instinct for breaking complex problems into sequential, manageable steps translates directly to the multi-part analysis questions the AP exam favors.
