Jessica
College Algebra Tutor • +51 Subjects
I am a licensed physician from Florida who is currently changing careers. I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2009 and have extensive tutoring and editing experience. While a student, I became a certified writing tutor through the Critical Writing Department. Since I completed my writing requirement at the University prior to matriculating, I was the first freshman tutor to be accepted into this selective program. The tutoring program involved a preliminary peer-tutor training course prior to beginning tutoring, in order to certify that I had the appropriate background to provide professional feedback to fellow students on their literary works and projects. After graduation, I worked for a full-service learning center where I created and implemented high school lesson plans for home-schooled students, provided academic support for students ranging in ages from 8 to 20 years old, and taught group and individual standardized testing preparation classes. I have also assisted students with application essays for various undergraduate and graduate programs.
Jeffrey
Pre-Calculus Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering PhD program at Rice University which will begin Fall 2020, and I am hoping to return to academia as a professor after earning my PhD. In the meantime, I am looking to share my passion for gaining knowledge, specifically in STEM, by educating the up and coming members of such a great field. I have experience tutoring both Calculus and Physics at Notre Dame, as well as experience as a Student Assistant for Differential Equations and Mechanics. I believe the key to learning is much deeper than learning to solve problems and that seeking knowledge is one of the best means for personal improvement.

I am available to tutor middle and high school math, history and test prep. I have tutored math and history in the past and I previously taught a test prep course at a school in Hanoi, Vietnam. I have a lot of experience teaching all the need-to-know tricks to doing great on the SATS/ACTS! When I am not in school myself, I love rowing, equestrian and exploring my new city of Boston! I look forward to meeting and working with you soon!
Rhea
AP Statistics Tutor • +49 Subjects
I am a current student at the University of Chicago. I am working towards a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences, and I am on the pre-medical track. I am extremely passionate about tutoring, and I have several years of experience tutoring students in my high school's learning center in various subjects as well as tutoring private clients in Standardized Test preparation. Given that I graduated high school recently, I have taken several Standardized Tests and high school subjects myself, so I have a comprehensive understanding of not only how to tutor these subjects and exams, but also what it is like to take them. While I have a wide range of interests and am able to tutor various subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring in Standardized Test preparation (including ACT, SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP Exams), Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Spanish. I truly believe that students should have the opportunity to learn in the way that works best for them, and I love being able to help them succeed by creating a comfortable tutoring environment in which we can best assess their particular needs and use strategies specific to them. My passion for learning drives everything that I do, and tutoring is the platform that I use to try to spread that passion to others. In my free time, you can find me playing badminton, listening to music, or baking something (hopefully) delicious.

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

Frequently Asked Questions
Limits and continuity often trip up students early because they require thinking about function behavior rather than just computation. Later, related rates problems and optimization challenges students to set up equations correctly before solving. Many students also struggle with the conceptual leap from derivatives to integrals, and with applying the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus in context. A tutor can break these abstract concepts into concrete steps and help you visualize why the math works, not just how to execute it.
Limits are the foundation—derivatives literally measure how a function behaves as you zoom in infinitely close to a point. If limits feel fuzzy, it's worth spending time on that first rather than rushing through derivative rules. A tutor can help you understand why the limit definition of a derivative matters, then show you how the power rule, product rule, and chain rule are shortcuts built on that foundation. Once the 'why' clicks, the computational rules become much easier to remember and apply correctly.
These problems require you to translate English into equations, identify what's changing and what's constant, and decide which calculus tools to use—it's a multi-step thinking process, not just algebra. Many students get stuck on the setup rather than the calculus itself. Working through problems with a tutor who can ask you guiding questions—like 'What are you trying to find?' and 'Which variables are connected?'—helps you build a reliable problem-solving framework. Practice with varied contexts (water draining, shadows moving, etc.) also trains your brain to recognize the pattern underneath different scenarios.
Multiple-choice rewards speed and pattern recognition—you can often eliminate answers or use approximation without showing work. Free-response demands clear reasoning and correct notation; partial credit is possible, but only if your work is easy to follow. A tutor can help you practice timing strategies for multiple-choice (knowing when to skip and return) and teach you how to write free-response solutions that earn maximum credit even if your final answer is slightly off. Practicing both formats under timed conditions is essential, since the skills overlap but the pacing and communication expectations differ significantly.
This is incredibly common—derivatives and integrals feel separate until the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus clicks, which often takes real time and examples to sink in. Integrals are essentially the reverse operation: if a derivative tells you the rate of change, an integral tells you the accumulated total. A tutor can use visual tools (area under curves, animations, real-world contexts like distance and velocity) to show you that differentiation and integration are inverse operations. Once you see that connection, both topics become more coherent, and you'll solve integral problems with much more confidence.
AP Calculus exams are long and mentally demanding, so stamina and strategy matter as much as knowledge. A tutor can help you build a pre-exam routine (sleep, nutrition, mental prep), teach you to scan the full exam before diving in, and practice the habit of checking your work under time pressure. Many students benefit from strategies like circling what the question is asking, writing out the steps clearly so you can catch errors, and knowing which problems to attempt first based on difficulty. Taking full-length practice exams with a tutor, then reviewing mistakes together, is one of the best ways to build both confidence and accuracy.
Significantly—calculus concepts are built on algebra and precalculus foundations, and gaps there will slow you down on every problem. You might understand the calculus concept perfectly but struggle to simplify an expression or solve for a variable, costing you points and time. A tutor can quickly diagnose which algebra or precalculus skills are rusty and help you shore them up efficiently, so you're not constantly fighting the math underneath the calculus. This targeted review often makes a huge difference in both speed and accuracy on the exam.
That depends on where you're starting and how much you engage. Students who are scoring 2s or 3s and work consistently with a tutor often improve to 4s or 5s over a few months—the jump happens when conceptual gaps close and problem-solving strategies click. Students already at 4s can push to 5s by refining technique, reducing careless errors, and mastering the trickier free-response questions. The key is regular practice between sessions and honesty about which topics need the most work. Realistic improvement requires effort, but AP Calculus is absolutely learnable with the right guidance and practice.
