Neuroscience coursework at Vanderbilt put Benjamin through the full calculus sequence in a context where it mattered — modeling action potentials, analyzing decay rates, working with the differential equations that describe how neurons communicate. That background means he teaches derivatives and integrals as tools with a purpose, connecting each rule to the quantitative reasoning he used daily in his science courses. His 34 ACT composite confirms the math fundamentals are sharp.

Cognitive science coursework gave Emma a grounding in the mathematical modeling side of how the mind works — fitting learning curves, analyzing rates of change in neural response data, and interpreting the functions that describe decision-making over time. That background means she can teach derivatives and integrals as tools with real explanatory power, not just abstract procedures to memorize. Her 34 ACT composite confirms the quantitative chops to back it up.

Currently in medical school, Hyerin uses calculus concepts daily — whether modeling drug concentration curves or interpreting rates of physiological change. She unpacks integration techniques, related rates, and series convergence by grounding each topic in concrete problems, giving students a reason to care about the math beyond the exam. Rated 4.9 by her students.

Patrick tackles Calculus at both the introductory and college level, covering everything from limit definitions and derivative rules through integration techniques and series convergence. His BA in Mathematics gives him the algebraic fluency to diagnose exactly where a student's chain-rule or u-substitution attempt goes sideways. He's particularly skilled at showing how each new Calculus concept builds on the one before it.

Teaching general chemistry at the college level means Jennifer regularly uses calculus in disguise — reaction rates, enthalpy curves, and the math behind equilibrium all depend on derivatives and integrals working under the hood. That daily fluency lets her unpack calculus concepts with concrete scientific context, showing students what a rate of change actually looks like when it describes something real. Her 33 ACT and 4.9 rating back up the quantitative chops.

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'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 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!
