Ismael

AP Calculus BC Tutor • +31 Subjects

As a physics major with a passion for particle physics, I am deeply interested in exploring the theoretical and universal aspects of both physics and math. I have over 100 hours of tutoring experience, during which I've helped students navigate these challenging subjects. Whether working with foundational concepts or advanced problems, I aim to simplify complex ideas and make them accessible to every student. My tutoring philosophy is centered on identifying the root cause of any misunderstanding and addressing it at its core. By breaking down abstract concepts into digestible steps, I help students build a strong foundation and confidence in their abilities. I believe that anyone can excel in these subjects with patience and the right approach. Outside of academics, I enjoy climbing, crocheting, baking, and skatingactivities that keep me balanced and motivated. These interests help me bring a creative and problem-solving mindset to my tutoring sessions, encouraging students to stay curious and engaged as they work towards their academic goals.

Karl

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +24 Subjects

I tutor math and physics, which is what I studied at Iowa State University. I've always enjoyed math and physics as subjects and find enjoyment in bringing that same enjoyment and understanding to aspiring students. I believe the best approach to helping a student is to understand their goals. Do they want to pass the class? Are they looking for particular topic help? Are they looking to excel? My approach to teaching the subject matter changes depending on what the student is looking for.

Anudeep

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +66 Subjects

I'm a freshman at Rutgers University studying Aerospace Engineering with a minor in Computer Science. I've always been curious about how the world works, which led me to explore everything from physics and calculus to machine learning and space research. I'm especially interested in how AI can solve real problems in spacelike predicting satellite orbits or understanding Earth's upper atmosphere. Outside of the classroom, I've tutored students from grades 6 to 12 in math and physics. I love breaking down tricky concepts and helping students find that "aha" moment. My favorite subject to tutor is Algebra 2it's where math starts getting deeper and connects to the real world, especially physics and engineering. I focus on making my sessions clear, supportive, and engaging. Whether a student needs help building confidence or mastering complex topics, I aim to make learning feel less stressful and more exciting.

Riley

AP Statistics Tutor • +33 Subjects

I primarily tutor a lot of math classes. Anything from elementary school through undergrad. High school Geometry? Yep! Real Analysis? Absolutely! Python? Not quite math, you tricky person, but sign right up. I tutor a bit of physics and computer programming as well. Test prep, too. But who am I? I am a math music philosophy nerd. I love Gauss almost as much as I love Bach and I love Bach almost as much as I like Hegel. So chat to me about that stuff if you are so inclined. But you want to just chill and have homework help? That's quite all right, too!

Reed

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +38 Subjects

Hi my name is Reed and I am a graduate from Carleton College with a degree in Economics. I have a passion for helping students learn and achieve their academic and personal goals. At Carleton, I played Varsity Soccer, hosted a radio show, and served as an economics prefect/TA for introductory microeconomics classes. In this role, I both held classroom sessions and tutored students individually. It was rewarding to see the results of my efforts and the impact I could have on other students. I am at an expert level in many math and economics areas. The key to my process is helping you not just 'get the answer' but also understanding the process of how to get there. I want to help students of all ages and make them think and have fun while learning.

Adeyeni

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +50 Subjects

I graduated from Cornell University studying Biology and choosing to specialize in Neurobiology and Behavior. I have an extensive background in math and science. I was pre- med during my four years and I am currently working part time while finishing my final year of medical school. Right after graduating, I participated in City Year, an AMERICORPS education focused non-profit that partners with schools needing the most assistance. I led the 9th Grade academy where my job was to design tailored math and science curricula for 6-8 high risk academic students in 5 different classes. I provided attendance and behavior sessions for another group of students and I served as the Math Coordinator for my team. Since then, I have been working with Varsity tutors and offering academic assistance to other students in my school. Although medical school and tutoring occupy most of my time, I enjoy watching and playing basketball and soccer (futbol). I am a big fan of hip hop and the arts, as well. I have seen that the biggest challenge that prevents students from succeeding is a lack of self confidence. My mother is a part-time business owner, who couldn't operate a computer on her own until this year. When I was young, she simply decided that she was 'bad at technology' and it stuck. Eventually, my sister and I sat her down and gave her instructions on how to access the internet. The next day, we taught her how to use Microsoft word. We made sure that she focused on each skill alone and ignored everything else that seemed confusing. Two weeks later, she got the hang of it. I tutor by presenting the subject matter in a similar way while frequently setting attainable goals so that students will realize how easy it is for them to master subjects on their own. It is the same method I use to learn all of the challenging material I encounter every day. I look forward to meeting you and helping you build the confidence and skills necessary to succeed.

Evelyn

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +12 Subjects

I am a student at Penn State University, working for my bachelor's degree in architecture with a minor in mathematics. I have worked with elementary students as a summer camp teaching assistant, teaching the basics of Mandarin Chinese, and I have hosted an SAT study group for high school students. I am most passionate about math, including (but not limited to) algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. I find that visual learning seems to click with most students, but I love looking for other teaching methods to help students gain a better understanding of the material. I believe that supportive teaching and understanding are crucial to a student's education, and I will try my best to provide the support they need to meet their personal goals.

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +56 Subjects

"Make your life a masterpiece, imagine no limitations on what you can be, have, or do." -Brian Tracy B.S. in Cognitive Studies and Child Development & Education at Vanderbilt University; M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. As an educator, I am honored to have the opportunity to share my knowledge in order to contribute to the success of others! I firmly believe in a holistic style of education one that places an emphasis on the student as opposed to the content. From personal experience, I am aware that every person learns differently from one another and ground my style of teaching in what best suits my students. To me, it is important to empower all students and encourage their desire to learn; after all, exams and grades are only temporary, but knowledge lasts forever! I wholeheartedly enjoy teaching all subjects that fall within the realm of my expertise, but I am especially passionate about biology, chemistry, mathematics, writing, and most of all teaching how to learn!

Alana

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +33 Subjects

Hello there! I would love to work with your student! I was the valedictorian of my high school, earning my diploma with a 4.6328 GPA (the highest in the history of my school), and I recently graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor's in Neurobiology and Behavior as I pursue God's calling for me to become a neurosurgeon. I was the captain of the Peer Tutoring Lab at my high school from 10th to 12th grade, so I have experience tutoring students from elementary to high school level. Because I understand the importance of fully grasping material and believe that students all approach content differently, I am a patient teacher willing to explain the same concept in different ways multiple times. I strive to create a warm, caring learning experience in my sessions because every student deserves a positive academic support system. I earned a score of 5 on both AP English Exams, a 1530 on the SAT, and won the National Merit Scholarship Competition in 2022. I'd love to work with you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Many students struggle with the shift from triangle-focused geometry to the unit circle and periodic functions. Other frequent pain points include:

  • Understanding why trigonometric identities work, not just memorizing them
  • Translating word problems into trigonometric equations
  • Graphing sine, cosine, and tangent functions with transformations
  • Connecting right triangle trigonometry to the unit circle
  • Proving trigonometric identities with multiple steps

The good news: these challenges are very common, and personalized instruction helps students see the underlying patterns and connections that make trig click.

True mastery comes from understanding *why* formulas work, not just when to apply them. Tutors help students build conceptual understanding by:

  • Connecting right triangle trig to the unit circle visually
  • Using the Pythagorean identity to derive related identities rather than memorizing them
  • Exploring how amplitude, period, and phase shift actually affect graphs before plugging into equations
  • Working through multi-step problems that require reasoning, not just formula substitution

When you understand the relationships, you can solve unfamiliar problems and remember concepts long-term.

A strong trigonometry tutor should:

  • Help you see connections between topics (how the unit circle explains periodic functions, for example)
  • Encourage you to show your work and explain your reasoning—not just verify answers
  • Address gaps in prerequisite skills like angle measures, right triangles, and coordinate systems when needed
  • Use visual and algebraic approaches to build understanding from multiple angles
  • Work at your pace, whether you need to slow down for clarity or accelerate through material

Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who specialize in making trigonometry concepts accessible and building lasting confidence.

Word problems are challenging because they require translating a real-world scenario into a trig equation—a skill many students find abstract. Tutors help by:

  • Breaking problems into manageable steps: identify what's given, what's asked, and which trig function applies
  • Drawing diagrams to visualize angles and relationships in context
  • Practicing the language of word problems so patterns become recognizable
  • Showing how the same problem can be solved multiple ways, building flexibility

With guided practice and feedback, word problems shift from intimidating to manageable.

Students typically see improvements in several areas:

  • Test scores and homework accuracy, especially on multi-step and proof-based problems
  • Confidence in tackling unfamiliar trigonometry problems independently
  • Speed and efficiency—understanding patterns helps you recognize when to use sine vs. cosine, or when an identity applies
  • Reduced math anxiety by breaking concepts into clear, logical pieces
  • Stronger preparation for advanced courses like precalculus and calculus that build on trig foundations

The timeline varies by student, but most see meaningful progress within a few weeks of consistent, personalized instruction.

Yes. Different textbooks approach trigonometry in different orders and styles—some emphasize right triangle trig first, others introduce the unit circle early. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who:

  • Understand major curriculum approaches and can align instruction with your textbook
  • Help bridge gaps if you've switched schools or curricula mid-course
  • Work with standardized test prep formats (SAT, ACT, AP Calculus, AP Precalculus) alongside your regular curriculum

When you book personalized tutoring, you can specify your textbook, course level, and learning goals so the match is tailored to your situation.

Trigonometry's abstract nature and heavy notation can trigger anxiety, especially if foundational concepts feel shaky. Personalized tutoring helps by:

  • Moving at *your* pace—no rushing or judgment, just focused learning
  • Building confidence through small wins, like mastering one identity or successfully graphing a transformed function
  • Reviewing prerequisite skills (angle measures, special right triangles, coordinate geometry) without shame
  • Showing that struggling with trig is normal and temporary; understanding grows with guided practice

When you feel supported and make progress on concepts that previously felt impossible, math anxiety naturally decreases.
