I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!

Frequently Asked Questions
Learning calculus in French adds a language layer to an already conceptually demanding subject, but it's manageable with the right support. The challenge isn't calculus itself or French itself—it's processing technical mathematical vocabulary (like dérivée, intégrale, limite) while simultaneously grasping abstract concepts like rates of change and accumulation. A tutor fluent in both calculus and French can bridge this gap by clarifying terminology, connecting French mathematical language to concepts you already understand, and ensuring you're not losing comprehension to translation confusion.
Vocabulary is foundational—without it, you're constantly translating in your head, which exhausts cognitive resources needed for problem-solving. Key terms like fonction (function), pente (slope), continuité (continuity), and convergence appear repeatedly across limits, derivatives, and integrals. Tutors who work with calculus in French prioritize building fluency with these terms early, often using visual representations and repeated exposure in context so the language becomes automatic, freeing your mind to focus on the mathematics itself.
Students often struggle with the transition from algebraic manipulation to conceptual understanding—particularly grasping what a derivative represents (instantaneous rate of change) versus just computing one using rules. The integral is similarly challenging: understanding it as accumulated area or antiderivative, not just a symbol to evaluate. Language barriers can deepen these gaps because explanations in French textbooks may emphasize procedural steps over intuition. Tutors help by using concrete examples (motion, growth rates, areas under curves) and switching between French terminology and visual reasoning to build genuine conceptual understanding.
French mathematics education, particularly at advanced levels, emphasizes formal proof and mathematical rigor more heavily than many English-language curricula. Students may encounter epsilon-delta definitions of limits, formal derivative proofs, and rigorous convergence arguments—all in French. Tutors experienced with French calculus understand this emphasis and help you build the logical reasoning skills needed to construct and understand proofs. They break down formal definitions into digestible pieces, show how to structure arguments clearly, and help you communicate mathematical reasoning precisely in French.
Many students use French textbooks alongside English videos or notes, which can create confusion when terminology differs or concepts are explained with different approaches. For example, some sources emphasize taux de variation (rate of variation) while others focus on dérivée (derivative) as a function—subtle but important distinctions. A tutor fluent in both languages can help you navigate these resources strategically, clarify where terminology overlaps or diverges, and ensure you're building a coherent understanding rather than accumulating conflicting mental models.
Beyond mastering procedures, French calculus exams often require you to explain your reasoning in writing, justify steps using mathematical language, and sometimes prove statements. Tutoring should cover not just how to solve problems but how to communicate solutions clearly in French mathematical writing. This means practicing problem interpretation (understanding what a question asks in French), showing work systematically, and articulating the logic behind each step. Tutors can also familiarize you with the specific exam format and question types your course uses, so you're not caught off-guard by unfamiliar phrasing or expectations.
Beyond strong calculus knowledge, your tutor should be genuinely fluent in French—ideally someone who has studied mathematics in French or taught it in a French-speaking context. They should understand both the conceptual depth calculus requires and the specific vocabulary, notation, and pedagogical approaches used in French mathematics education. Experience with students bridging language and mathematics is valuable too, as it means they can recognize when confusion stems from language versus concept, and adjust explanations accordingly.
Calculus in French can feel overwhelming because you're managing two challenges simultaneously—but breaking them apart actually builds confidence faster. A tutor can help by isolating language from mathematics: clarifying terminology first, then exploring concepts, then combining them in problem-solving. Starting with concrete examples (real-world rates of change, areas of familiar shapes) makes abstract concepts feel grounded. Regular practice with immediate feedback, celebrating incremental progress, and showing you how concepts connect across topics helps you see patterns and realize you're making genuine progress, not just memorizing procedures.
