I'm a freshman at Stanford University pursuing a degree in mathematical and computational science. I've been tutoring students from grades 3-12 throughout high school, and I look forward to continue in college. Nothing excites me more than learning something new, and I strive to share my excitement with my tutees.

I am an undergraduate of the Johns Hopkins University, majoring in Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science. I have years of experience tutoring and teaching math and various sciences from an elementary to a college level. I primarily tutor college level courses such as physics and biochemistry, but also have extensive experience in social sciences, biology, and higher mathematics such as Calculus and Differential Equations. I believe that demonstrating the various real-world applications of a given concept is the best method to increase a student's understanding.
As a second-year medical student with a strong foundation in science and a passion for education, I specialize in making tough subjects easier to understand. I excel in math, biology, physics, and other challenging topics that often intimidate students and I genuinely enjoy helping others master them. My approach combines patience, clarity, and high-level understanding to break down complex ideas into manageable, confidence-boosting lessons. Whether it's reviewing homework or prepping for exams, I'm here to support and motivate students at any level below mine to reach their full academic potential. My interests include: Weightlifting and fitness training (especially strength and hypertrophy programs) Morning cardio and physical conditioning Studying medicine with a focus on anatomy, physiology, and clinical problem-solving Teaching and tutoring tough academic subjects like math, biology, and physics Watching anime as a way to relax and recharge (especially after a long day) Cooking (with a focus on high-protein, keto/carnivore meals)
I am a rising junior at Princeton University pursuing a Bachelors of Arts in Philosophy with a certificate in Statistics and Machine Learning. I am highly passionate about education: during the academic year, I serve as a volunteer tutor for the Petey Greene Program, which provides educational assistance to those incarcerated in New Jersey prisons; after graduation, I hope to work toward becoming a high school mathematics teacher. This summer, I am interning part-time at IntegrateNYC4me, a nonprofit that seeks to integrate New York schools. I believe that quality educational opportunities should be accessible to all, and I hope to dedicate my career toward realizing this vision!
I am a rising Sophomore at Princeton University. I am majoring in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, most likely with a minor in Computer Science. During my Junior and Senior years of High School, I tutored a few students on a regular basis. I specialize in Math and Science. More specifically, my strongest subjects are Algebra 1/2/3, Geometry, Trigonometry and ACT Science. I have always found the maths and sciences to be both the most interesting subjects, but also the most applicable to real world problems - this is why I chose to major in what I did. Because I usually tutor in Math, I often tutor in the style of showing how to do a few problems step by step, and then having the student try a few more difficult problems, asking questions along the way. I do this because in my experience, this is the best way to learn and prepare for Math related exams. Outside of academics I play Viola, enjoy running and exercising to stay healthy, and listening to all kinds of music.
I am a current first-year honors student at Northeastern University pursuing a B.A. in Political Science and a B.A. in History, Culture, and Law. I am a youth activist and have experience working for campaigns and elected officials and am particularly passionate about mental health, climate change prevention, and LGBTQ+ rights. I have done private tutoring for the past three years with students in Elementary, Middle, and High School in a variety of school subjects including but not limited to Math, History, and Writing/Grammar. I am passionate about education and want to use my skillset and knowledge to help other students achieve their best selves. I'm from Denver, Colorado, and currently live in Boston and love to read, watch sitcoms and, of course, tutor my students.
I am an undergraduate student at the University of Pennsylvania. I have been tutoring for over 6 years now, and I have found it to be an extremely rewarding and enjoyable experience. I specialize in mathematics, particularly at the high school level, and I also have experience tutoring other subjects. I also have done SAT prep for the mathematics section of the New SAT and am very familiar with the recent changes to the exam. My belief is that everyone is capable of learning with enough time, explanation, and practice, and I hope to pass this on to all the students I work with. For this reason, I believe in teaching students how to think and problem solve, rather than just having them memorize patterns or facts.
I am flexible and adaptive to different learning styles. I welcome students and/or parents to set their own goals/expectations, and I tailor the curriculum to suit those goals.
As a senior in Yale's Mechanical Engineering program, Yossi uses calculus as a daily working language — from modeling heat transfer to analyzing dynamic systems — which gives his AP Calculus teaching a practical grounding that textbooks alone can't replicate. He's particularly sharp at breaking down the chain rule and related rates into intuitive physical reasoning, showing students how to set up problems before worrying about computation. Rated 5.0 by students.
I am a rising senior at Harvard College pursuing an AB in Government. Academically, I have diverse interests, including history, language, math, physics, philosophy, music, and politics. In high school, I tutored elementary, middle, and high school students in music, math, ACT and SAT prep, and Spanish. At Harvard, I spent a year as a course assistant in the math department, helping to teach introductory undergraduate calculus. Currently, I volunteer with the Leadership Institute at Harvard College (LIHC) as part of its Social Outreach Committee. This work involves teaching a weekly course called "Fundamentals of Leadership" to a class of middle school students. Overall, I have found my experiences tutoring math to be the most rewarding.
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!
I'm referring to math, of course, but I didn't always like the subject. Until about age 16, I thought of math as a boring, mind-numbing process of blindly memorizing formulas and then forgetting them after the test, but a series of wonderful teachers showed me the truth. I had thought that everything in math was invented arbitrarily just to torture students, but actually it all made sense in a deep way. When I caught a glimpse of what math really was, I found it irresistible and I ended up majoring in math in college at UChicago. I'm currently a Master's student in Computer Science at NYU.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students typically find limits and continuity conceptually difficult at the start, especially understanding why a function can approach a value without reaching it. Later, the chain rule and related rates problems trip up many students because they require visualizing how multiple variables change together. Integration techniques—particularly u-substitution and integration by parts—demand significant practice, and many students struggle with recognizing which method applies to which integral. Finally, applications like optimization and differential equations require students to translate real-world scenarios into mathematical models, which is a skill that takes deliberate practice to develop.
This is a common gap—knowing the power rule is different from recognizing when to use it in a related rates or optimization problem. Tutors work by having you practice translating English into equations, identifying which variable is changing and which you're solving for, and then selecting the right differentiation technique. They'll often have you work through several similar problems with decreasing guidance, so you start recognizing patterns independently. Building this translation skill requires targeted practice with feedback, which is exactly what personalized instruction provides.
The AP Calculus exam has two sections: multiple choice (60 minutes for 45 questions) and free response (90 minutes for 6 questions). On multiple choice, aim to spend about 1.3 minutes per question, flagging harder ones to return to if time allows. On free response, read all six questions first and tackle the ones you feel most confident about—this builds momentum and ensures you earn partial credit where you can. Leave 10-15 minutes at the end to review your work and catch arithmetic errors. A tutor can help you practice this pacing with full-length practice tests under timed conditions, so it becomes automatic on test day.
AP Calculus AB covers limits, derivatives, and basic integration. BC covers everything in AB plus additional integration techniques (by parts, partial fractions), series and sequences, and parametric/polar curves. BC is roughly 1.5x the content of AB. If you're taking AB, tutoring focuses on mastering core concepts deeply; if you're taking BC, tutors help you manage the additional topics while reinforcing AB foundations. Many students take AB first, then BC the following year—tutors can help you decide which path fits your goals and pace you accordingly.
Free response questions reward showing your work—you can earn partial credit even if your final answer is wrong, as long as your method is sound. Start by clearly stating what you're finding (e.g., 'I'm using the chain rule to find dy/dx'). Show each algebraic step, especially when simplifying. If you get stuck on one part, move on and use a placeholder for that value in later parts—graders will often give you credit for correct reasoning downstream. Tutors help you practice this by reviewing your solutions with a grader's eye, pointing out where you lose points for skipped steps or unclear notation, so you build the habit of communicating your thinking clearly.
This requires pattern recognition built through practice. U-substitution works when you spot a function and its derivative (or close to it) in the integrand. Integration by parts applies when you have a product of functions where one differentiates to something simpler. Partial fractions handle rational functions. Trigonometric substitution appears with expressions like √(a²-x²). The key is practicing enough problems that you start seeing these patterns automatically—most students need 30-50 varied integration problems to develop real fluency. Tutors accelerate this by showing you how to classify problems quickly and by having you explain your reasoning out loud, which deepens pattern recognition.
Limits are abstract—you're learning that a function can behave a certain way 'near' a point without actually reaching it, which contradicts intuition. Many students memorize limit rules without understanding why they work. Tutors help by using graphs and numerical tables to show you what limits actually mean before diving into algebra. They'll have you evaluate a function at values approaching a point (like 1.9, 1.99, 1.999) to see the pattern, then connect that to the algebraic definition. Once you see limits as 'what value does the function approach' rather than 'what value does it reach,' the rules and applications click into place much faster.
Test anxiety in calculus often stems from feeling unprepared for the variety of problem types or worrying you'll forget a formula. Combat this by taking full-length practice tests under timed conditions weeks before the exam—this builds confidence and reveals which topics still need work. During the test itself, if you feel panicked on a hard question, skip it immediately and move to one you can solve; momentum and early points calm your nervous system. Tutors help by creating a structured study schedule so you know exactly what you're prepared for, and by reviewing your practice test errors so you see patterns rather than feeling overwhelmed by isolated mistakes.
