Mathematical economic analysis — Kenan's concentration — lives in the space where pre-calculus concepts like optimization, rate-of-change intuition, and logarithmic modeling become practical tools for understanding markets and policy. He teaches topics like function transformations and asymptotic behavior by connecting them to the economic models where they actually matter, giving students a reason to care about what the algebra is doing. His 1530 SAT confirms the quantitative grounding behind that approach.

Having gone through the IB program — which compresses pre-calculus ideas like polar form, sequences, and function transformations into a rigorous two-year gauntlet — Kinjal knows exactly where students hit walls and why. Her biology degree at Texas A&M kept those skills sharp through pharmacokinetic modeling and statistical analysis, so she teaches topics like exponential behavior and composite functions as tools she's actually had to wield. A 1550 SAT and 5.0 rating round out the picture.
Natalie's double major in Biochemistry and English at Rice means she toggles between quantitative and verbal reasoning daily — a combination that's surprisingly useful for pre-calculus, where students need to interpret what a problem is asking before they can model it with the right function family. She's especially sharp on the algebraic manipulation side, breaking down how to simplify rational expressions or set up piecewise definitions so the logic is visible at every step. Her 1560 SAT confirms the math fluency behind that approach.
The jump to Pre-Calculus is where many students first encounter function transformations, rational expressions, and the unit circle all at once. Alisa tutored Pre-Calculus extensively through UT Dallas' drop-in program, which means she's seen — and untangled — nearly every sticking point the course throws at students. She treats each topic as preparation for calculus, not just a standalone chapter to survive.
Trigonometric identities, polar coordinates, and the behavior of rational functions all click faster when a student understands the 'why' behind each rule. Siyu breaks pre-calculus into visual, intuitive pieces — connecting graphs to equations so the jump to calculus feels natural rather than overwhelming. Rated 4.9 by students.
Having served as a teaching assistant in Pre-Calculus at the Texas Academy of Math and Science, Kavitya knows exactly where students tend to stumble — whether it's trigonometric identities, limits intuition, or the shift from algebraic to graphical thinking. She unpacks each concept by connecting it to the calculus ideas it's setting up, so students understand the "why" behind every technique. Rated 5.0 by students.
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.
The jump from algebra to calculus lives in Pre-Calculus, and the students who struggle later almost always have unresolved confusion around function behavior, transformations, or trigonometric identities. Hamza digs into why a rational function behaves near its asymptotes or how the unit circle actually generates sine and cosine values — not just how to memorize the table. Rated 4.6 by students, he's especially effective at making logarithmic and exponential relationships feel intuitive before calculus demands speed with them.
The jump from algebra to pre-calculus — where trig identities, polar coordinates, and limit intuition all land at once — trips up even strong math students. Anna's CS degree required heavy use of these tools in algorithm design and discrete math, so she teaches them with an eye toward how they actually get applied rather than as isolated formulas to memorize.
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.
