Award-Winning Business Calculus Tutors
serving Lancaster, CA

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.

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.

Pryce studied both economics and math at the University of Pennsylvania, which means he's spent years working with the exact functions business calculus revolves around — cost curves, demand equations, optimization models. When a problem asks what happens to profit at the margin or how to minimize average cost, he can walk through both the calculus mechanics and the economic reasoning behind the answer.

Scoring in the 99th percentile on the GMAT quantitative section while working as a cross-border business consultant gave Jing a dual fluency that's hard to find — she handles the calculus and understands the business scenarios it's being applied to. She breaks down optimization and marginal analysis problems by grounding them in real decisions companies face around cost, pricing, and growth. Rated 5.0 by students.

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.

I am a firm believer of this and, as such, I do not spoon feed students during sessions but rather guide them to figure out how to answer their own questions and solve their own problems. Thus, I focus not only on what to do, but how and why to do it. One of the most significant drivers of independent learning is curiosity, and this is one of the primary traits I aim to cultivate in students.

Economics PhD students don't just study calculus — they rely on it daily to model how firms price goods, how markets reach equilibrium, and how marginal changes ripple through an economy. Katherine brings that working fluency to business calculus, teaching concepts like optimization and rate-of-change analysis through the economic intuition she's built across her graduate research. Rated 5.0 by students.

As a data analyst with a finance master's degree, Alexandra lives in the applied math that business calculus actually tests — she uses derivatives and optimization models daily to analyze costs, revenue trends, and financial projections. That real-world fluency means she can unpack a profit-maximization problem or an exponential growth function by tying the calculus directly to the business logic behind it, not just the mechanics of solving it.

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 very interested in a career in the medical field, so I am apart of some pre-medical organizations. I really enjoy playing all different sports, from soccer to volleyball to tennis.

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.

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 am a graduate student at University of Windsor. I received my Bachelor of Engineering (BENG) in Mechanical Engineering. I have experience in tutoring Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry for over a decade. I use very simple methodologies and real life illustration in teaching physical principles. With my lessons, topics like calculus, functions, trigonometry, algebra, and other maths topics will no longer be a challenge. As a tutor with 10 years of experience, my style of teaching is apt for all categories of students including slow learners. Students who have challenges in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry should worry no more. With my many years of experience in teaching maths, I have formulated very easy steps for students in understanding all topics in mathematics from the basics to the complex aspects. In my spare time, I enjoy reading books which enriches my life, playing table table tennis and swimming.
