Criminology coursework at the University of South Florida isn't calculus-heavy, so Jordan is straightforward that this isn't a deep specialty area. That said, math is one of his favorite subjects to tutor across multiple levels, and he can support students wrestling with the early conceptual hurdles — what a limit is actually doing, how average rates of change become instantaneous ones — by slowing down and making each step concrete before moving on.

Neuroscience coursework at Emory puts Genny in direct contact with calculus — modeling action potential rates, analyzing dose-response curves, and interpreting how biological signals change over time all require fluency with derivatives and integrals. She teaches those concepts by connecting them back to the systems she studies, turning abstract rules about rates of change into something a student can picture happening inside a living organism.

Limits, derivatives, and integrals all build on each other, and Adonai walks through each concept by connecting it back to the intuition behind the math — why the chain rule works, what an integral actually represents geometrically. His biomedical sciences background means he can also tie calculus to real applications like modeling drug absorption rates or population growth curves. Rated 5.0 by students.

Chemical engineering coursework is calculus-heavy — from differential equations modeling reaction rates to integration across fluid systems — so Sara didn't just pass calculus, she applied it constantly. She unpacks limits, derivatives, and integrals by tying each concept to a tangible scenario that makes the abstraction click.

My favorite subject has to be math. It is a language of its own, and not everybody understands it, at first. I would like to help people understand math because it is a subject that, once learned, not only becomes something that will help you in life but something you will love as well.

Having volunteered now hundreds of hours into helping schools tutor students in a wide variety of mathematics, I have gained an understanding of where a lot of people are coming from when they require help, and how to approach various situations when they call for different methods. Along with this, I love getting to meet new people, and learn from their own experiences through dialogue and getting to know them, and will always try to make tutoring a personal event just as much as an academic one.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.

I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
