Luis
10th Grade Tutor • +31 Subjects
I am a student at Miami Dade College, and I aim to transfer into Florida International University. I am pursuing a Bachelors degree in Physics and Philosophy, and more specifically Applied Physics and Philosophy of Science. Throughout my academic career I have increasingly become amazed at and passionate about the fundamental studies in the scientific field, such as pure mathematics, physics and chemistry. I tutored many of my classmates during my high school years and eventually became know as "the neighborhood tutor". Immediately after high school i began to tutor privately and have been doing so for two years. Aside from my own independent tutoring, I have worked as a math tutor in a separate tutoring company as well as a Physics assistant in my college where I helped various groups of students with college physics one and two.I have always found it a wonderful experience to introduce or develop a student's understanding of what I consider an exciting and unique perspective of the beautiful world around us. Aside from my primary interest in most science and math courses, I also have become rather adept with writing both explanatory and narrative essays. I hold education to be an intrinsic part of human existence-Humans are meant to learn. For this reason, I believe that teaching is really an internal process that happens within all of us, and my job as a tutor is only to act as a facilitator and catalyst to the powerful potential that exists within all people. Outside of my academic life, i enjoy playing the occasional game of soccer, jamming out on my trumpet, and practicing public speaking skills in both controlled and spontaneous settings.

Kelsey
AP Biology Tutor • +10 Subjects
I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Cell and Molecular Biology with a minor in Chemistry at Texas Tech University. Currently, I am striving towards my Master of Science in Environmental Sciences and Policy at Johns Hopkins University, and will be obtaining my degree in May of 2022. Being a student myself, I am excellent at pinpointing what each learner needs to succeed. I was a former educator at a community college focusing on biology and microbiology. This college had multiple early college high school programs in place, therefore I have taught at the high school and college level. Prior to that, I was a group tutor for honors biology (known as a supplemental instructor), in which I created review packets and held sessions for the students. More than halfway through my advanced graduate program, I feel confident in my ability to stretch my teaching skills past biology and microbiology, into environmental science as well!The foundation of my teaching philosophy is to be patient and motivational. I encourage students to take their time and we can always attempt different learning methods or routes until the student truly understands the concept. I focus on reiterating concepts, drawing images and writing helpful key words on the whiteboard, and asking the student questions throughout the lesson to ensure they are grasping the material.I would love to help you succeed!
Eugene
Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a tutor because of all of the great tutors that influenced me throughout my academic career. I was always a good student, but I believe that the tutors that have been in my life helped me to become an outstanding student and tutor. With their help, I was able to finish high school at the top of my class and go on to receive my Bachelor of Arts in English from Emory University. I am currently studying at Morehouse School of Medicine located in Atlanta, GA.My tutoring experience began in high school where I tutored students and my peers in all subjects ranging from phonics to calculus. Throughout college, I continued to tutor students from elementary school all the way up to those in college. After graduating college, I worked with a professional tutoring company for two years where I learned a variety of different tutoring techniques to apply to different learning styles. I have experience tutoring a variety of different subjects such as biology, chemistry, English (both language and literature), and multiple levels of math (pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, and calculus). My ultimate goal as a tutor is to have students truly understand a concept and then to move ahead.I have embraced the idea that learning is a different experience for everyone. For some, it takes no time at all, while for others it is an extremely difficult task. All in all learning takes effort. With this idea in mind, my tutoring methods are extremely flexible to meet the need of every student that I come into contact with. At the end of the day, the student should feel a sense of understanding that they did not have before. I strongly believe that learning should be a fun experience so that what you learn sticks with you.Aside from being a tutor, I am a huge sports fanatic, especially football (both college and professional)—Go DAWGS & Go FALCONS! I also have a passion for cars. I am an amateur figure skater and love to read & shop during my free time. The thing that I value the most is my family. I believe in going after your dreams and doing all that you can to achieve your goals; and I truly believe that education is one of the most valuable tools you can have.
Laney
College English Tutor • +43 Subjects
I am passionate about helping students because I am passionate about people of all ages gaining knowledge. My experience working with students is varied because I am a substitute teacher and I am also a current student. I got my Associates degree in Early Childhood Education at Miami Dade College. I am currently working on my Bachelor's degree in Applied Linguistics at Ashford University. I tutor English and Literature, they have always been my favorite subjects. I was a volunteer for Laubach Literacy and I am an advocate for reading. My mentors in education are Maria Montessori, John Dewey, and Margaret Mead. I admire their innovative techniques and the changes they made to education. I like to discover a students learning style and work with them in a way that makes them most comfortable, engaged, and motivated. Outside of academia I am interested in travel, the arts, and I am a voracious reader. I have traveled extensively and enjoy working with people from other places. I have been a volunteer, primarily working with children, and been advocating for them for decades. I spent the majority of time in shelters and as a Guardian Ad Litem. I live a healthy life which includes a focus on nutrition, daily exercise, Qigong and daily meditation. These keep my life balanced while I maintain an active life. I have embraced the TED talk by Rita Pierson. I tell students what they did right, not what they did wrong.

I have spent most of my time in the general education classroom setting but my experience and diverse teaching styles have allowed me to thrive in both classroom settings. By creating lessons that truly support differentiation, I have been able to cater to the diverse abilities of all students in classroom.
Dianna
Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +22 Subjects
My passion for teaching has grown over the years, from teaching my own children to each new student in my classroom. I have been teaching a variety of students for the past fifteen years: PreK-high school students from the U.S.: Massachusetts, California, Oregon, Florida, Maryland, Michigan and Texas; and international children, adult, business and university students from Asia, Europe and Latin America. My teaching settings have varied with my travels: I have had the opportunity to teach ESL Business classes to executives at multinational companies in Ecuador, South America. There, I branched out to university students to prepare them for a Standardized Test, or to continue their studies in English abroad. In Boston, I taught at two large language institutes with a variety of international students of all ages, from 5 to 80. I have taught ESL subjects, and Spanish to high school students. Additionally, I have taught Reading in English and Spanish to PreK-Middle school students. I'm passionate about teaching: Reading in English or Spanish; Spanish 1,2,3, 4 using a variety of standard school textbooks; ESL subjects: Conversation, Pronunciation, Reading, Writing, Listening, Idioms, Grammar, and Business topics. I possess several ESL teaching certificates: TESOL, TKT and SEI (public school) and I completed my U.S. certified, university education in Ecuador, South America, Bachelor of Arts, Business Administration degree. My hobbies include reading about history and biographies, cooking, and traveling. Creating a motivating learning atmosphere where students can excel is important to me. My classroom allows for learning where you feel interested, actively participating, wanting to speak, and absorbing the language and the culture, which will make all the difference in how YOU learn. I look forward to helping you reach your goals in learning together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Limits are conceptually challenging because they require thinking about behavior rather than exact values—a shift from algebra's concrete answers. Many students rush through limit notation and epsilon-delta definitions without truly grasping why limits matter. A tutor can slow down this transition, using visual approaches (graphing, numerical tables) to show how functions approach values, and connecting limits to real-world rates of change before diving into formal proofs. This conceptual groundwork makes derivatives and integrals far more intuitive.
Students often memorize the power rule and chain rule without understanding what a derivative actually represents—the instantaneous rate of change. This disconnect makes optimization problems, related rates, and motion problems feel like arbitrary recipe-following. Tutors help by repeatedly connecting the derivative back to its meaning: drawing tangent lines, interpreting slopes in context, and working through multi-step applications where students must first identify what's changing and what's constant. Once the conceptual thread is clear, the procedures become tools rather than mysterious steps.
Integration is the inverse process of differentiation, but it's conceptually trickier because there's no single algorithm—students must recognize patterns, choose techniques (substitution, integration by parts, partial fractions), and sometimes guess-and-check. Many students struggle to see that integration is about accumulation and area, not just "undoing" derivatives. Effective tutoring emphasizes the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus as the bridge between these ideas, uses visual representations of area under curves, and builds pattern recognition through guided practice before expecting fluency with advanced techniques.
Word problems require students to extract mathematical relationships from language—identifying what variables represent, what's given, and what's being asked. In Honors Calculus, this means recognizing whether a problem calls for optimization, related rates, or accumulation, then setting up the correct equation or integral. Tutors teach a structured approach: read carefully, define variables, sketch diagrams, identify the rate of change or total quantity needed, and only then write equations. Breaking this process into steps prevents the common mistake of jumping straight to formulas without understanding the problem's structure.
Honors Calculus often includes formal proofs and rigorous definitions (like epsilon-delta limits) alongside computational skills. Some students excel at procedures but freeze when asked to prove why a theorem works; others understand concepts but struggle with the logical structure of formal arguments. Tutors help by treating these as complementary: using computational examples to motivate why a theorem is true, then building the logical scaffolding needed for formal proof. This approach prevents the false choice between "doing calculus" and "understanding calculus."
The chain rule requires students to identify composite functions and apply the rule correctly—but many rush through or misidentify which function is "inside" and which is "outside." Common errors include forgetting to multiply by the inner derivative or confusing the chain rule with the product rule. Tutors address this by having students explicitly label the outer and inner functions, write out the chain rule formula before computing, and work through increasingly complex compositions (like trig functions inside exponentials inside polynomials). This deliberate practice builds automaticity without sacrificing understanding.
Honors Calculus can feel overwhelming because concepts build rapidly and mistakes compound—a shaky understanding of limits makes derivatives harder, which makes integrals feel impossible. Tutors rebuild confidence by breaking topics into manageable pieces, celebrating small wins (mastering one technique, understanding one proof), and normalizing mistakes as part of learning. By working 1-on-1, students get immediate feedback without the pressure of a classroom, space to ask "dumb questions," and personalized pacing that respects their learning speed. This supportive environment helps students see themselves as capable mathematicians, not just rule-followers.
Honors Calculus exams typically mix computational problems, conceptual questions, and proofs—requiring students to show work clearly, justify steps, and explain reasoning. Last-minute tutoring should focus on identifying weak topics through practice exams, reviewing common mistakes, and ensuring students can articulate why procedures work, not just execute them. Tutors help students develop a checklist for each problem type (Is this optimization? Related rates? Integration?), practice explaining solutions aloud, and build test-taking strategies like allocating time and checking work. This targeted review is far more effective than trying to re-learn entire units.
