Sharon
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

Tony
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.
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

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!
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!

Frequently Asked Questions
AP Calculus requires strong mastery of algebra, functions, and precalculus concepts—topics typically covered in high school. Most 7th graders pursuing AP Calculus are exceptionally advanced and have already completed or are simultaneously taking precalculus. A tutor can assess whether your student has solid understanding of polynomial and rational functions, trigonometry, exponential and logarithmic functions, and function composition, since gaps in these areas will create significant obstacles when learning limits, derivatives, and integrals.
The transition from algebra and precalculus to calculus thinking is steep. Many students struggle with limits—understanding that a function can approach a value without actually reaching it—and the formal epsilon-delta definition often feels abstract. Derivatives present another major challenge: moving from "slope of a line" to "instantaneous rate of change" requires visualizing tangent lines and understanding that the derivative is itself a function. Integrals and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (connecting derivatives and integrals) are typically the third major hurdle. A tutor can break these concepts into concrete, visual steps before jumping into symbolic manipulation.
Calculus introduces heavy notation—limit notation, derivative notation (dy/dx, f'(x), Leibniz notation), integral signs, and summation notation—that can overwhelm students if not introduced carefully. A strong tutor will connect notation to meaning first (e.g., dy/dx literally means "change in y over change in x") before drilling symbolic rules. They'll also help students recognize when different notations mean the same thing and practice translating between verbal descriptions, graphs, and symbolic expressions. This builds fluency rather than rote memorization.
AP Calculus exams (both AB and BC) have strict time limits, and pacing is critical. A tutor can help your student take full-length practice tests under timed conditions to build stamina and identify which problem types consume too much time. It's useful to review practice tests by problem type—reviewing all derivative problems together, then all integral problems—to spot conceptual gaps versus careless errors. Students should also practice the no-calculator and calculator sections separately, since the calculator section often involves more complex computations while the no-calculator section emphasizes conceptual understanding and algebraic manipulation.
Understanding the relationship between a function's graph and its derivative's graph is subtle: students must recognize that where f(x) is increasing, f'(x) is positive; where f(x) has a horizontal tangent, f'(x) = 0; and where f(x) is concave up, f''(x) is positive. Many 7th graders can memorize these rules but struggle to visualize them. A tutor can use interactive graphing tools and hand-drawn sketches to show these relationships dynamically, having students predict what the derivative graph looks like before checking, then explaining why their prediction was right or wrong. This builds intuition that transfers to unfamiliar problems.
Integration is typically harder than differentiation because there's no single algorithm—students must recognize which technique applies (u-substitution, integration by parts, partial fractions, trigonometric substitution). Many students try u-substitution first for every problem and get stuck when it doesn't work. A tutor can teach pattern recognition: look at the integrand and ask "What function's derivative appears here?" for u-substitution, or "Can I rewrite this using a trig identity?" for trigonometric integrals. Building a reference sheet of common patterns and practicing categorization problems helps students develop the judgment to choose the right technique quickly.
Advanced 7th graders in calculus often feel pressure—they're younger than classmates and may doubt whether they belong. A tutor provides a judgment-free space to ask "basic" questions and work through problems slowly without embarrassment. Regular tutoring also creates quick wins: mastering a previously confusing topic (like chain rule or u-substitution) builds momentum and confidence. A tutor can also help reframe struggle as normal—even advanced students need to sit with difficult concepts—and celebrate progress on challenging problem types. This mindset shift often matters as much as the content itself.
