The jump from Pre-Calc to AP Calculus AB trips up students who never fully grasped limits or the logic behind the chain rule. Daniel's approach is to rebuild each concept from scratch when needed — he's an applied math major who got where he is by sitting with hard material until it clicked, not by breezing through it. That means he knows exactly where the confusion usually lives in topics like related rates, Riemann sums, and the Fundamental Theorem.

Having already completed multivariable calculus and linear algebra as a freshman in Northwestern's engineering program, Dylan teaches AB concepts like limits, derivative rules, and integration techniques with the confidence of someone who uses them as building blocks for more advanced work every week. His 1500 SAT and 5.0 rating back up an approach grounded in making sure students understand the reasoning behind each step before moving on to the next application.

Seven years of tutoring math and science across middle school through college means Cassandra has seen exactly where AB students stumble — and it's almost always the transition from computing derivatives mechanically to knowing which technique a free-response problem is actually asking for. Her biology training adds an unexpected edge: she teaches rate-of-change and accumulation concepts through growth models and concentration curves that make the abstraction tangible. A 33 ACT and 4.9 rating back up an approach built around getting students to reason through problems independently.

Limits, derivatives, and integrals each build on the last — and a shaky grasp of one derails everything that follows. Zelalem teaches AP Calculus AB with an engineer's eye for connecting each concept to concrete problems, drawing on years of high school math instruction to pinpoint exactly where understanding breaks down.

Limits, derivatives, and integrals each build on the last in AP Calculus AB, and Michael teaches them as a connected story rather than isolated chapters. His biology coursework at UNLV requires heavy calculus application — modeling population growth, reaction rates, enzyme kinetics — so he brings real examples that make abstract rules feel purposeful. He also knows the AP exam's free-response patterns well enough to drill the specific justification language that earns full credit.

Between a biology major and a pivot into computer science at UNLV, Samuel has taken calculus from both the life-science and computational angles — modeling population growth with derivatives in one course, then thinking algorithmically about convergence and approximation in the next. That crossover makes him especially useful for AB students struggling with the conceptual leap from computing a Riemann sum to understanding why it converges to a definite integral. Rated 5.0 by students.

Between competition math and a subject list spanning physical chemistry, thermodynamics, and calculus 3, Katherine has the kind of mathematical depth that makes the AB curriculum's trickiest moments — limit definitions, the chain rule's layered logic, optimization setups — feel like well-charted territory. She teaches the reasoning behind each step so students can handle unfamiliar free-response prompts without relying on memorized patterns. Rated 5.0 by students.

Limits, derivatives, and integrals each build on the one before, and losing the thread at any point can make the rest of AB feel impossible. Kyle's approach is to slow down at those transition points — especially the jump from understanding what a derivative means to actually applying differentiation rules in related rates and optimization problems. His university-level calculus background keeps him sharp on the details that trip students up on the AP exam.

The leap from "find the derivative" to "explain what the derivative means in context" is where most AP Calculus AB students lose points on the exam. Henry, a math minor in the UNLV Honors College, unpacks limits, related rates, and the Fundamental Theorem by grounding each concept in what's actually happening on the graph. That emphasis on interpretation over rote calculation makes free-response questions far less intimidating.

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 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 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.
