Dana's statistics degree and economics research background mean she teaches business calculus the way it actually gets used — setting up cost and revenue functions from word problems, then interpreting what the derivative or integral tells you about a real decision. That translation step from scenario to math is where most business students get stuck, and it's where her econ training makes the biggest difference. Rated 4.8 by students.

Engineering graduate work is essentially applied calculus — Ellyn spent years using derivatives and integrals to model real systems, optimize designs, and interpret physical data, which maps directly onto the cost, revenue, and marginal analysis problems in a business calculus course. Her PhD in mechanical engineering means she can unpack why an optimization technique works and show students how to set up the problem from scratch, not just mimic a textbook example. Rated 5.0 by students.

Having studied both economics and computer science at Caltech, Brian thinks about calculus the way business students need to — as a tool for modeling decisions, not as an exercise in proofs. He teaches derivatives through the lens of marginal analysis and optimization problems pulled from actual econ coursework, so concepts like cost minimization and revenue maximization click on the first pass.

Studying finance and accounting at NYU Stern while simultaneously taking rigorous quantitative coursework gives Sean a daily, practical connection to the exact problems business calculus covers — he's actively using derivatives to analyze cost behavior and optimization in his own finance classes. That real-time fluency means he can walk through marginal revenue, profit maximization, and rate-of-change problems with the business vocabulary already baked in. Rated 5.0 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.

Most business calculus students don't struggle with the mechanics of taking a derivative — they struggle with translating a word problem about profit margins or demand curves into the right setup. Alex's applied mathematics training at Stanford means he can bridge that gap, turning vague business scenarios into clean functions students know how to optimize. Rated 4.8 by students.

Three engineering degrees — including one in applied mathematics — mean Rahi has worked through calculus from every angle, pure and applied. For business calculus students, he zeroes in on translating derivative and integral mechanics into the language of profit maximization, cost analysis, and demand elasticity, bridging the gap between the math they're learning and the business decisions it models.

Where most business calculus students stumble isn't the differentiation itself — it's translating a word problem about profit margins or demand curves into the right function to differentiate. Jhonatan's biology and neuroscience training gave him years of practice applying calculus to real systems, from modeling population growth to analyzing rates of change in physiological data. That applied mindset, rated 5.0 by students, carries directly into breaking down optimization and marginal analysis problems.

I am a graduate of Cornell University's College of Arts and Sciences. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry with Distinction in 2015. Since graduation, I was a physics/chemistry teacher and soccer coach at a private school in Virginia for a year, where I led the soccer team to an undefeated season. Before teaching and coaching professionally, I was a Teaching Assistant for the Cornell Math and Physics Departments, where I taught many subjects including calculus, mechanics, electromagnetism. Throughout my time at Cornell and as a teacher, I tutored subjects ranging from the SAT to AP Physics and Algebra II, which is where my true talents lie: in small group or one-on-one settings where I can give students the full attention they deserve and tailor my approach specifically to their learning styles. This is why I am now pursuing tutoring as a part-time occupation at Varsity Tutors. I embrace teaching all math and science subjects, especially physics and calculus, at both the college and high school level and will go above and beyond to make sure all of my students succeed, according to their definition of success. In my spare time, I enjoy playing league soccer, basketball, tennis and guitar, and also like to travel and see as much of the world as I can.

Most business calculus students aren't struggling with the mechanics of taking a derivative — they're struggling to connect that derivative to what's actually happening with cost, revenue, or demand. David's background spanning computer science, history, and graduate work at Columbia and Chicago trained him to translate between abstract frameworks and applied contexts, which is exactly the skill business calc requires. Rated 4.9 by students.
