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.
