The IB Analysis and Approaches syllabus demands proof-based reasoning and multi-step problem solving that go well beyond standard calculus courses. Martin's engineering math training at RIT aligns closely with this rigor — he's comfortable unpacking everything from sequences and series convergence to the calculus of kinematics that IB examiners love to test. His 4.7 rating speaks to how clearly he communicates that level of material.

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 a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
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!
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 an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago where I received my undergraduate degree in political science. Right after graduation, I worked as an academic and test prep tutor as well as admissions consultant in Hong Kong. For the past two years, I worked with a number of students to help prepare them for college in the United States.

Frequently Asked Questions
IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches is a rigorous two-year course designed for students pursuing the International Baccalaureate diploma. Unlike standard curricula, it emphasizes conceptual understanding alongside procedural skills—meaning you'll learn not just how to solve problems, but why those methods work. The course covers calculus, functions, trigonometry, and statistics with a focus on real-world applications and mathematical reasoning, preparing you for university-level mathematics and analytical thinking.
Many students struggle with the transition from procedural math to conceptual understanding—IB requires you to explain your reasoning, not just get the right answer. Other common pain points include mastering multi-step problem-solving, understanding when and why to apply different techniques, and tackling complex word problems that require translating real-world scenarios into mathematical language. Additionally, the course's fast pace and high expectations can trigger math anxiety, especially when students haven't built confidence in their foundational skills.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows a tutor to identify exactly where your understanding breaks down—whether that's in algebraic manipulation, conceptual gaps, or test-taking strategy—and address it directly. A tutor can help you develop problem-solving strategies, teach you how to show your work in ways that earn full marks, and build the confidence you need to tackle unfamiliar problems on exams. They'll also help you see patterns and connections across topics, which is essential for the integrated, conceptual approach IB demands.
Your first session is an assessment and goal-setting meeting. A tutor will review your current coursework, discuss where you're struggling (whether it's specific topics like calculus or broader challenges like showing work), and learn about your learning style and goals—whether you're aiming to improve your grade, prepare for exams, or build conceptual understanding. From there, you'll create a personalized plan that targets your needs and fits your timeline, whether you're in Year 1 or preparing for final exams.
Proofs and multi-step problems require more than memorized procedures—they demand logical thinking and strategic planning. A tutor can teach you how to break down complex problems into manageable steps, identify which concepts apply, and construct clear, logical arguments that satisfy IB's rigorous standards. They'll also help you practice retrieving and combining concepts you've learned, which builds the flexible thinking you need to solve unfamiliar problems on exams.
You'll want a tutor with demonstrated expertise in IB Mathematics specifically—ideally someone with experience teaching or tutoring the curriculum, familiarity with IB assessment criteria, and a track record helping students achieve their target grades. Beyond credentials, look for a tutor who can explain concepts clearly, adapt their teaching to your learning style, and help you build both confidence and conceptual understanding, not just test-taking tricks. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who meet these standards and can be matched to your specific needs.
Staten Island's schools serve over 61,000 students across 9 districts, and while teachers are dedicated, classroom instruction often can't address every student's individual gaps or learning pace—especially in a demanding course like IB Mathematics. With a 12.2:1 student-teacher ratio, getting personalized attention in class can be challenging. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring fills that gap by giving you dedicated time to work through difficult concepts, ask questions without hesitation, and develop the mastery and confidence IB requires.
Math anxiety often stems from past negative experiences or gaps in foundational understanding—tutoring addresses both by creating a judgment-free space to ask questions and learn at your own pace. A tutor will help you tackle problems strategically, celebrate progress, and gradually build your confidence through successful problem-solving experiences. Over time, as you see patterns, understand concepts deeply, and experience success, anxiety decreases and your sense of capability grows—which directly improves your performance and enjoyment of the subject.
