Award-Winning Business Calculus Tutors
serving Seattle, WA

A physics degree builds an unusual skill for business calculus: the habit of translating real scenarios into functions and then interpreting what the math actually says. Cory applies that same thinking to cost curves, profit maximization, and demand elasticity — walking students through how to set up the problem from a word-heavy prompt, not just how to differentiate once the equation is already written. Rated 4.9 by students.

A PhD in applied mathematics means Samuel doesn't just know how to differentiate a profit function — he understands the modeling assumptions underneath it, which is exactly what trips up business calculus students when they're asked to interpret results rather than just compute them. He breaks down optimization and marginal analysis by starting with what the function actually represents in a business scenario, then building the calculus around that meaning. Rated 5.0 by students.

Mechanical engineering coursework means Yucheng spent semesters applying calculus to real systems — optimizing designs, modeling rates of change, interpreting what a derivative actually tells you about a physical or financial situation. That applied mindset translates directly to business calculus, where the challenge isn't computing a derivative but knowing what a marginal cost or revenue function means for a decision. Rated 4.9 by students.

Riley's math background spans from abstract algebra to elementary arithmetic, which means business calculus sits right in a sweet spot — rigorous enough to demand real calculus skills, applied enough to keep things grounded. Rather than rushing through formulas, Riley digs into why a particular function models a business scenario the way it does, making the leap from "take the derivative" to "find the production level that actually minimizes cost" feel intuitive.

Chemistry majors spend semesters building calculus fluency through reaction rate equations and thermodynamic modeling, which gives Srikavya a practical grip on derivatives and integrals that translates naturally into business applications like cost functions and break-even analysis. She unpacks each problem by identifying what's actually changing and what needs to be maximized or minimized before touching any formulas — a step that keeps the math grounded in the scenario instead of floating in abstraction.

I am a graduate of Barnard College, Columbia University where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics and Economics. My academic interests while at Barnard were focused on microeconomics and statistical research. I am a believer that a strong education can propel you to achieve your goals. I think that anyone can learn math and logical thinking with a little help. I have experience tutoring high school students in Algebra I and was always helping my fellow classmates with their economics problem sets in college. While working professionally, my job demanded strong technical skills in data programming. Each year, I taught my coworkers the necessary programming skills both through classroom setting lectures and through one-on-one tutoring. In my free time I love going to spin class, learning how to cook, and watching MSNBC!

Finance majors often wonder why they need calculus — until a problem asks them to find where profit peaks or how cost changes per additional unit, and suddenly the math is the business. Christopher's finance degree from Ohio State means he tackles those optimization and marginal analysis problems with the same vocabulary students encounter in their core business courses. He connects each derivative back to a financial concept, so the calculus feels like a natural extension of the decision-making students are already learning.

Daniel's dual accounting and finance coursework at UNF means he's already used calculus to solve the exact problems business students encounter — building cost functions from accounting data, then differentiating to find where marginal cost meets marginal revenue. That fluency in both the math and the business language behind it lets him explain not just how to take a derivative, but what the answer actually means on an income statement. Rated 4.9 by students.

Akio's computer engineering training at Purdue leaned heavily on calculus for modeling systems — the same skills that show up in business calculus when students need to find where a cost function bottoms out or how revenue shifts at different production levels. As a teaching assistant across multiple STEM courses, he got practiced at spotting exactly where someone's setup goes wrong and walking them through the fix. Rated 4.8 by students.

Computational biology graduate work means Levi spends his days building mathematical models from real data — the same skill business calculus demands when students need to set up a cost function or interpret what a derivative says about profit. His biology-to-data-science path gives him a knack for translating messy word problems into clean calculus steps, which is usually the part that trips business majors up. Rated 4.9 by students.

I attended law school at Vanderbilt University and I earned an MBA and a Ph.D. in Finance (Statistics minor) from the University of Iowa. I served for over 10+ years as a finance professor, teaching assistant, and tutor at 4 Top-40 public universities, during which time I received numerous awards for exemplary teaching. I qualified for MENSA by scoring in the 99.9th percentile on standardized tests for graduate schools: LSAT, 173 (6.0+ AWA) and GMAT, 760. I use a student-centered approach and I personalize educational plans to balance student needs based on learning styles, motivations, and interests. I have experience fostering one-on-one learning in a variety of environments, including online platforms. I guide students in identifying resources to improve their ability to succeed and monitor their progress while providing ongoing feedback. I will help you thrive in your mathematics, probability/statistics, and business courses or in your preparation for standardized tests.

I love helping people! Whether it's learning math, writing, reading, etc. or playing sports, I really enjoy seeing other succeed via my assistance. I try to relate to students in whatever they enjoy and in doing so, apply concepts to our like interests to work through difficult subjects as well as to help foster a good, professional relationship. I have tutored several students in both math and English in the past and they have enjoyed resounding success and continue to reach out for my assistance. I look forward to working with and meeting many students and parents while helping them succeed in any way I can. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy playing sports (golf, basketball, softball, volleyball), playing with my dog, and hanging out with my wife. In addition, I am a meteorologist and oceanographer following my graduation at Penn State University with a BS in Meteorology. Finally, I am presently a student at MIT pursuing a Master's degree in Physical Oceanography.

Studying finance and computer science at Georgia Tech means Tanishka uses calculus daily as a decision-making tool — modeling how small changes in production or pricing ripple through a company's bottom line. She teaches derivatives and integrals by building them directly from the finance problems students are already seeing in their other courses, so concepts like profit maximization click immediately. Rated 5.0 by students.
