Laser engineering as a hobby means Sam regularly works through the trigonometric optics and exponential decay models that most students only see on a pre-calculus worksheet — calculating beam divergence angles, lens alignments, and power attenuation curves. His dual degree in physics and mathematics...

A history and economics double major at Northwestern might seem like an unlikely pre-calculus tutor, but Andrew's coursework in econometrics demanded real fluency with the polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions that form the backbone of the course. His legal training sharpened an ability...

The jump into pre-calculus means juggling trigonometric identities, polar coordinates, and limit intuition all at once. Brodie's biomedical engineering background at ASU's Barrett Honors College required heavy use of these tools, so he teaches them as practical building blocks rather than abstract f...

A math degree means Leah didn't just pass through pre-calculus — she built everything that came after on top of it, from calculus through quantitative reasoning and beyond. She's particularly sharp at demystifying the shift from algebraic manipulation to thinking in terms of function families, espec...

As a pure mathematics major at Rice, Aaron doesn't just teach pre-calculus procedures — he understands the theory underneath them, which means he can explain why a rational function has a particular asymptote or how the unit circle actually generates trigonometric values instead of just demanding st...

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 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 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 am tutoring I tend to ask my students to try to "teach" me concepts they are struggling with, or walk me through a problem that is challenging them, so that any conceptual mistakes or assumptions they are making become clear. In addition, I am a firm believer in never providing the answer to a spe...
