Award-Winning Calculus Tutors serving Cary, NC

I tutor purely because I enjoy it. Education has opened up so many doors for me, and this is largely because I was fortunate to have some amazing teachers growing up who made learning fun (or at the very least not miserable). My goal is to do the same for each one of the students who I work with, and find ways to make even the most abstract concepts or complex math problems "click" in...

My name is Bachka, and I am excited to be teaching through Varsity Tutors. I have an academic background in Resource Economics as well as Finance, and I have been able to use my degree working internationally for multiple development and poverty reduction NGOs. In school I worked as a tutor for my peers and afterwards, I coached youth sports in my community.

...I have learned that each child has a unique way of learning and with patience any student can succeed. At times, I struggled in school and know the feeling of frustration and defeat that come with not understanding something. However, because of this I also know how amazing it feels when you experience that "light bulb" moment. I believe these moments can determine a student's confidence and that they should be celebrated more enthusiastically. It's...

Learning is lifelong. My goal is to Educate, Empower, and Encourage students. I love to learn and teaching others is my passion.

...are those in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) from the first time learning to count and the scientific method all the way up to calculus and multivariable physics. I have a particular interest in those subjects directly related to engineering, although I am more than happy to assist in others! It makes me happy to see a student understand and find new enjoyment in learning. Outside of academics, I enjoy playing with my cat,...

...sciences, including anthropology, sociology, statistics, public health, and psychology. As a teacher, I'm guided by the idea that what I'm doing with students should be useful to them long-term. Making topics interesting, relevant, and accessible is of paramount importance because it allows students to hone skills that they'll use for the rest of their lives. Teaching is fun for me because I love getting to facilitate and witness my students' breakthroughs. There's nothing better than...

I recently graduated from Duke University with a degree in biomedical engineering. I really enjoy math and science and I am eager to help other students in related subjects. In my free time, I like to run, play basketball, spend time at the shore, and cook. While I was a student at Duke, I worked as a student manager for the Women's Basketball team. I also completed a couple years of research in the Human...

All I can say for myself is that I've always had a love of learning, and a love for sharing what I've learned with others. I fundamentally believe that anyone can come to understand any topic or idea so long as it is explained in a way that makes sense to them and is accessible for them. This perspective on learning is what guides me as a tutor.

...have enjoyed teaching mathematics since 1st grade and have taught University Mathematics for more than 10 years. I have a BS and a MS in Mathematics. Mathematics is not easy for most of the world. Lectures are not very entertaining and it is easy to miss one step in the boredom. Then , who wants to ask a question. I like the student who will ask that question. I like helping that student "see" and...

I love teaching science and I hope to pass on my love for learning to my students! No problem is too big that can't be solved if we work together. I look forward to meeting you and helping you reach your goals. :)

...Though I am studying medicine, I have always had a passion for tutoring. My philosophy in tutoring someone is simple: I aim to impart the same level of understanding and mastery over the subject that I have onto the student. I do this by walking them through the necessary thought process required to not only answer the question but to fully grasp the underlying concepts behind every question. I look forward to working with you!

I received my B.S. in Conservation Biology from NC State University and am currently pursuing an M.S. in Plant Biology. I love to teach ecology, biology, and any other science, but I enjoy teaching math and English as well. If you are looking for a flexible and patient tutor, feel free to reach out!

...Mathematics as well as English and Comparative Literature. I transferred to UNC from a community college where I began learning to weld and do electrical work, before getting my Associate's degrees in Engineering and Science. While there I realised that I loved helping my fellow students through their math and english courses as well as helping them on their college and scholarship applications. After having helped my classmates there, I have done the same in...

...to the conclusion that I am good at it because all the people I have tutored have said so but mostly because I compared how they would perform when I tutored them vs when other people tutored them, and my students would always do better when I tutor them. This kind of made me feel like, if I am really good at it and can help people do good and learn, then, I should. I...

...work; my teaching philosophy is simple and systematic. I break the problem down into small steps that are easy to follow and show a clear logical solution to the problem, the next step is practice, which will further ingrain the process in your brain, and allow you to do it easily during examinations. Outside of academia I enjoy playing soccer, fishing, hiking and camping. I currently play on the NC State Club soccer team, and...

...native language as volunteer service. Due to my exceptional academic performance, family friends and members of my local church would often ask me to tutor their children, a request I would grant as much as my schedule allowed. My professional experience with tutoring only began in college, when I was hired as a teaching assistant for the Duke TIP summer program. After graduation, I worked for an international test prep company for two years. In...

During my six and a half years of teaching as a mathematics educator, I have taught: Math foundations, Math 1, Math 2, and Math 3. I also served in United States Navy for 4 years. My motto: Every student can learn math but it takes the right teacher. I combine both everyday situations and technology to make math make sense to my...

...preparing for the SAT/ACT or tackling advanced university-level coursework, I aim to make the subject both understandable and enjoyable. Each student receives a customized lesson plan, which we update together based on progress and goals. I also provide extra materials and explanations to reinforce learning outside of sessions. I genuinely welcome questions, feedback, and collaboration from both students and parents because when we work as a team, we achieve the best results. If you're looking...

...as a member of the YMCA Leader's Club. The subjects I enjoy teaching are Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, Statistics, Trigonometry, Physics, and SAT/ACT Math and Science Prep. I believe that as a passionate younger college student, I am able to connect with students more effectively, as I was in their shoes not too long ago! Outside of school and teaching, I like to play Ultimate Frisbee, spend time with my dog, and work on personal engineering...

...May, I moved back to the Raleigh-Durham area to continue my education at Duke University for an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering. As aforementioned, much of my tutoring experience has been in STEM fields (calculus, physics, chemistry, etc.)--but as a student who has prepared for, agonized over, and ultimately suffered through the SAT and GRE standardized tests, I would love to be able to impart my own knowledge and strategies for these as well. If it's...
