Licensed to teach middle and high school math, Jacob has taken students through the full arc from pre-algebra up through AP Calculus BC — so when he explains integration by parts or Taylor series, he knows exactly which earlier skills a student might be missing and can patch those gaps on the fly. His math degree means the theory behind the techniques is second nature, not something he's reverse-engineering from a solutions manual. Rated 5.0 by students.

Limits, derivatives, and integrals each demand a different kind of thinking, and Paulkey's graduate work in computer science gave him daily practice applying calculus concepts to real computational problems. He unpacks each rule — chain rule, u-substitution, integration by parts — by showing why it works before drilling how to use it. That approach turns calculus from a collection of formulas into a subject that actually makes sense.

Psychology research at both Brandeis and University College London required Amanda to work with statistical models grounded in calculus — normal distributions, rates of change in developmental data, and the integral-based logic behind probability curves. That quantitative training, paired with a 1470 SAT, means she can walk through early calculus concepts like limits and derivatives by connecting them to the data-driven reasoning she used throughout her graduate work.
