Award-Winning Business Calculus Tutors
serving Scranton, PA

Computational biology graduate work means Levi spends his days building mathematical models from real data — the same skill business calculus demands when students need to set up a cost function or interpret what a derivative says about profit. His biology-to-data-science path gives him a knack for translating messy word problems into clean calculus steps, which is usually the part that trips business majors up. Rated 4.9 by students.

Patrick's accounting major means he's already fluent in the cost, revenue, and profit scenarios that business calculus problems are built around — so when he teaches derivatives or integrals, the business context isn't an afterthought. He walks through optimization and marginal analysis using the same financial logic students will see in their accounting and economics courses, which makes the calculus feel like a tool rather than an obstacle. Rated 4.7 by students.

Most business calculus students don't struggle with the mechanics of differentiation — they struggle with translating a word problem about profit margins or demand curves into the right equation to solve. Professor Florence's applied math degree from UCLA and PhD-level engineering work mean she's spent years moving between abstract formulas and real-world modeling, which is exactly the skill business calc demands. She teaches students to read an optimization problem the way a business analyst would, then execute the calculus cleanly.

A math minor paired with a master's in geosciences means Matthew is comfortable with calculus fundamentals and skilled at applying quantitative tools to real-world data — exactly the combination business calculus demands when students need to set up and interpret optimization or rate-of-change problems. He breaks down the mechanics of derivatives and integrals by grounding each step in a concrete scenario, whether it's modeling cost functions or analyzing growth trends. Rated 5.0 by students.

Having studied both economics and computer science at Caltech, Brian thinks about calculus the way business students need to — as a tool for modeling decisions, not as an exercise in proofs. He teaches derivatives through the lens of marginal analysis and optimization problems pulled from actual econ coursework, so concepts like cost minimization and revenue maximization click on the first pass.

I am a graduate of Cornell University's College of Arts and Sciences. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry with Distinction in 2015. Since graduation, I was a physics/chemistry teacher and soccer coach at a private school in Virginia for a year, where I led the soccer team to an undefeated season. Before teaching and coaching professionally, I was a Teaching Assistant for the Cornell Math and Physics Departments, where I taught many subjects including calculus, mechanics, electromagnetism. Throughout my time at Cornell and as a teacher, I tutored subjects ranging from the SAT to AP Physics and Algebra II, which is where my true talents lie: in small group or one-on-one settings where I can give students the full attention they deserve and tailor my approach specifically to their learning styles. This is why I am now pursuing tutoring as a part-time occupation at Varsity Tutors. I embrace teaching all math and science subjects, especially physics and calculus, at both the college and high school level and will go above and beyond to make sure all of my students succeed, according to their definition of success. In my spare time, I enjoy playing league soccer, basketball, tennis and guitar, and also like to travel and see as much of the world as I can.

I am very interested in a career in the medical field, so I am apart of some pre-medical organizations. I really enjoy playing all different sports, from soccer to volleyball to tennis.

Dana's statistics degree and economics research background mean she teaches business calculus the way it actually gets used — setting up cost and revenue functions from word problems, then interpreting what the derivative or integral tells you about a real decision. That translation step from scenario to math is where most business students get stuck, and it's where her econ training makes the biggest difference. Rated 4.8 by students.

Having tutored for both the economics and mathematics departments at TCU, Mason knows the exact moment business calculus students stumble — when a derivative stops being a slope and starts being marginal revenue, or when an integral becomes total cost over an interval. His economics training means he speaks both languages fluently, translating the calculus mechanics into the business intuition professors actually test on.

As a PhD economics student, Dana builds cost, revenue, and elasticity models daily — the exact functions business calculus courses ask students to differentiate and integrate. She teaches the chain rule or finding a local maximum not as isolated calc techniques but as steps in answering questions like "at what production level does profit peak," drawing problems straight from her graduate research at Stony Brook.

Pryce studied both economics and math at the University of Pennsylvania, which means he's spent years working with the exact functions business calculus revolves around — cost curves, demand equations, optimization models. When a problem asks what happens to profit at the margin or how to minimize average cost, he can walk through both the calculus mechanics and the economic reasoning behind the answer.

When I was in high school, I remember seeing the joy of my math teachers when they would teach in class. This inspired me to become a high school math teacher. The first step was becoming a peer tutor to my classmates. This lead to tutoring math to college students. Then tutoring students while working as a TA. Then I worked as a data scientist which not only did I understand more how to apply math in the workspace, but also learned how to explain math concepts to coworkers without a strong math background. This helped me to shape my tutoring philosophy to relate to the person being tutored and this opened the door to me teaching high school calculus 1 & calculus 2! I am currently teaching precalculus at a community college.

Having TA'd Financial Accounting and capital investment analysis, Ahsan knows exactly where business students stumble when math meets money — and business calculus is that intersection at full speed. He teaches derivatives and integrals through the finance lens he uses daily in his graduate program, connecting concepts like optimization and rate-of-change problems to the profit functions and cost curves students will see again in upper-level coursework. Rated 5.0 by students.

Michal's finance degree means he actually uses the output of business calculus — interpreting how a marginal cost curve shapes a pricing decision or what an integral over a revenue function tells you about total earnings. That real-world fluency lets him teach derivatives and optimization as financial reasoning tools, not just problem sets to survive. Rated 4.8 by students.
