Harriet

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +45 Subjects

I am a graduate of St. Olaf College, with a Bachelor of Arts in Physics and Mathematics. Following my passion of teaching and working with students, I also studied to become licensed to teach math and physics. I have spent time working with students in St. Paul who are struggling to meet grade level standards, students who need an extra boost for an AP test, and I spent an entire semester at a school in India working with students in math, physics, and SAT prep. I really enjoy tutoring students through their preparation for standardized tests. AP, ACT, and SAT are tests where a quick understanding of the content is necessary, but students also need wise strategies for working under time pressure, narrowing down answers, and understanding what the questions are really saying. I value critical thinking as my philosophy of education, because students who have developed the ability to reason through new concepts and be confident in the conclusions they reach are not only well-prepared for tests, but also well-prepared for everything they encounter in life. When not tutoring, I spend my time reading a wide variety of books, knitting, running, playing Ultimate Frisbee, and hiking.

Alexandra

Middle School Math Tutor • +182 Subjects

I am a rising senior at The University of North Texas in Denton. I am working towards my Bachelor of Arts in Spanish as well as English with a concentration in Creative Writing. I was raised in an academically competitive environment in Fort Bend County and my rigorous secondary education prepared me for success in college. I am a fortunate member of the Terry Scholarship Foundation, which has provided me and hundreds of other Texans with a private, four-year, full-ride scholarship. As a Terry Scholar, I am well-versed in all subjects and have taken on the role of mentor to many of the incoming freshmen. I have spent most of my free time in college as a nanny and tutor to families around the DFW area. I have experience with all age groups and there is nothing that intimidates me! While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, History, Spanish, and Government/Social Studies. Through my experiences helping struggling students and peers, I have realized the value of adaptability. Most people reach out to a tutor because the traditional classroom method is not best suited for their learning needs. There is nothing more joyful than when a student finally understands the material in a way that makes sense to them. Many times, students need flexibility and patience in order to grasp a foreign concept. I am a firm believer in the power of education and I hope to share my love of learning with all of my students. After graduation I plan on returning to Houston to obtain my Master of Arts in Teaching from Rice University. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and writing anything from poetry to screenplays. I have also been involved in competitive dance for most of my adolescence, so I understand the balance of academics and extracurriculars. Hobbies: reading, music, writing, art, books, dancing, yoga

Frequently Asked Questions

Mathematica is a computational software platform that shifts focus from manual calculations to conceptual problem-solving and visualization. Instead of spending time on tedious arithmetic, students use Mathematica to explore mathematical concepts, manipulate complex expressions, and see patterns emerge through graphs and symbolic computation. This allows deeper engagement with ideas like calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations—students can test hypotheses, experiment with parameters, and understand the 'why' behind mathematical principles rather than just the mechanics of solving problems.

Most students become functionally comfortable with Mathematica's basics—entering commands, creating simple plots, and solving equations—within 2-4 weeks of consistent practice. However, moving from basic syntax to fluent problem-solving typically takes 6-8 weeks. The key is understanding that Mathematica has its own logic and language; it's less about memorizing commands and more about thinking in terms of functions and symbolic manipulation. Tutors help students overcome the initial syntax barrier quickly so they can focus on using Mathematica as a tool for exploring mathematical ideas rather than fighting with the interface.

Mathematica encourages students to document their thinking through well-organized notebooks that combine code, output, and written explanations. This actually strengthens mathematical communication—students learn to articulate why they're using a particular function or command, interpret computational results, and explain the logic of their approach. Tutors guide students in creating clear, annotated work that demonstrates understanding: commenting on code, explaining each step in plain language, and reflecting on what the output means mathematically. This builds habits of clear mathematical reasoning that go far beyond Mathematica itself.

The biggest hurdles are syntax errors (forgetting brackets or capitalization), struggling to translate a math problem into Mathematica code, and misinterpreting computational output. Students also often get stuck trying to force Mathematica to solve problems procedurally rather than leveraging its strengths in symbolic computation and visualization. Additionally, some students become over-reliant on Mathematica to solve everything, losing touch with underlying mathematical concepts. Expert tutors address these by teaching students to read error messages, break problems into steps that map cleanly to Mathematica's functions, and—critically—when and why to use Mathematica versus when to work through concepts by hand first.

Absolutely. Mathematica is a tool that scales across the entire math curriculum. At precalculus and calculus levels, students use it to visualize functions, compute derivatives and integrals, and solve complex equations. In linear algebra, it handles matrix operations and system-solving elegantly. For differential equations and upper-level courses, Mathematica becomes invaluable for modeling, solving symbolically, and generating publication-quality graphics. Tutors who work across levels help students apply Mathematica appropriately to their specific course—whether that's exploring polynomial behavior in Algebra II or simulating dynamical systems in a graduate course.

Mathematica empowers students by letting them test ideas quickly and see results immediately—whether a graph looks right or an algebraic simplification checks out. This rapid feedback loop builds confidence because students experience success faster and can experiment without fear of tedious hand calculations. Tutors leverage this by encouraging exploration: 'What if we change this parameter?' or 'Can you visualize this equation?' Students discover patterns themselves rather than just following procedures, which deepens understanding and self-assurance. Over time, students shift from 'Will I get the right answer?' to 'Let me explore this and see what it tells me'—a fundamental mindset change that extends far beyond Mathematica.

Yes, that's essential. Mathematica tutors work with students on assignments and problem sets from their courses, ensuring that computational skills directly support what they're learning in class. Whether a student is working through a calculus project, a physics problem set, or research-oriented coursework, tutors help them leverage Mathematica as a thinking tool aligned with curriculum expectations. They also help students understand when professors expect hand calculations versus computational solutions—this contextual understanding prevents Mathematica from becoming a shortcut that obscures learning.
