Two years of one-on-one calculus tutoring at UT Dallas gave Alisa a sharp sense for where students lose the thread — usually at the transition from understanding a derivative conceptually to applying it in related rates or optimization problems. She unpacks those multi-step problems by teaching students to identify what's changing, set up relationships, and then differentiate with purpose. Her engineering coursework means she can also connect integration and differentiation to tangible applications.

Biochemistry at Rice means Natalie uses calculus constantly — reaction rates, enzyme kinetics, and the exponential decay models that describe half-lives all depend on derivatives and integrals behaving predictably.

Her subject range from algebra through college calculus means she can quickly spot and fill the prerequisite gaps that often hold students back.

Kavitya didn't just take Calculus — she taught it, working as a TA through the rigorous Texas Academy of Math and Science program and continuing into coursework that reached differential equations. That depth means she can explain the chain rule or integration by parts from multiple angles until the right one lands. She treats each problem as a chance to build real intuition about rates of change and accumulation.

I am currently a senior at Emory University studying chemistry and applied math with a focus on inorganic chemistry. I will be available to tutor algebra, trigonometry, algebra 2, biology, chemistry, calculus, geometry, pre- calculus, and ACT prep. I started tutoring in high school and continued tutoring at Emory where I tutored general chemistry, introductory biology, and calculus for two years. Apart from academic tutoring, I am also involved in Project SHINE which teaches English to recent Atlanta immigrants. I believe that education (no matter what kind) is crucial in life, but I also strive to emphasize why something is important. In my experience, most students struggle with something because they don't understand exactly why it is important or simply do not care. I am heavily involved in academic research at Emory so I am able to help a student understand exactly why a specific subject area is important and how it is continuously applied both in the lab and in the real world to improve our lives. It's always easier to see the physical and practical applications of a subject than try to visualize its importance on paper. In my spare time I enjoy chemistry, ancient Roman history, jam bands, running, cycling, and scuba diving.
