Three semesters as a college chemistry TA meant Joshua was constantly working with calculus concepts — reaction rates, concentration curves, and the math behind kinetics all depend on derivatives and integrals. That hands-on repetition gives him a practical fluency with differentiation and integration that translates well to tutoring, especially for students who need to see why the math matters before the formulas click.

An Elementary Education major isn't the typical calculus background, but Heather's 33 ACT composite shows she can handle serious quantitative reasoning, and her teaching training means she's practiced at breaking down multi-step processes into pieces that actually make sense to the learner. She applies that same scaffolding instinct to early calculus — walking through what a limit is doing conceptually before jumping into the notation, or connecting derivative rules back to the rate-of-change intuition students already have from algebra.

The jump to calculus trips up a lot of students who were strong in algebra, usually because limits and derivatives require a completely different way of thinking about change. Jared's math background and structured approach mean he can pinpoint exactly where a concept stops making sense — whether that's the chain rule, related rates, or integration by parts — and rebuild understanding from that point.

Rachel's academic focus is in communications and humanities, not mathematics, so she's upfront that calculus sits outside her core strengths. Her 33 ACT and experience tutoring math at multiple levels mean she can support students working through early concepts like limits and basic differentiation, bringing the same structured, detail-oriented approach she applies to her research and writing work.

Biophysics lives in calculus — modeling membrane potentials, diffusion rates, and the differential equations that govern how molecules move through biological systems. Benjin tackles that math daily in his coursework, which means he can walk through derivatives, integrals, and their applications with the fluency of someone who actually uses them. His perfect 36 ACT composite confirms the quantitative chops to back it up.

An English major might seem like an unlikely calculus tutor, but Samantha's 34 ACT composite and seven years of tutoring across math levels mean she's comfortable walking through the conceptual shift from algebra into limits and early derivatives. Her teaching instinct is to translate dense notation into plain language — the same close-reading skill she uses in her English coursework — so that each step in a problem actually makes sense before moving to the next. Rated 5.0 by students.

An English major at BYU might not be the first person you'd picture teaching calculus, but Grace's experience tutoring both algebra and math alongside her analytical training means she can walk through the conceptual groundwork — what a derivative is actually saying, how slope becomes a living quantity — in clear, jargon-free language. Her instinct as a writer to break complex ideas into precise, logical steps translates surprisingly well to unpacking early calculus notation.

Physics majors don't just take calculus — they use it constantly, from deriving equations of motion to computing work done by variable forces. Kendall's physics degree means derivatives and integrals aren't abstract procedures to him; they're tools he's applied to real problems involving acceleration, flux, and energy. Rated 5.0 by students, with a 35 ACT backing up the quantitative depth.

Mechanical engineering at BYU means Taylor isn't just taking calculus — he's using it daily, applying integrals to stress analysis and derivatives to motion and thermodynamic systems. That hands-on engineering context makes him especially effective at teaching concepts like the chain rule or integration by parts, because he can point to exactly where each technique shows up in real problem-solving. His 33 ACT composite backs up the quantitative chops.

Physics majors don't just take calculus — they use it constantly, from deriving equations of motion to calculating work done by variable forces. John's BS in Physics means he can teach derivatives and integrals as tools that actually describe how the physical world behaves, grounding each concept in problems where the math has a clear, tangible purpose. Rated 4.8 by students.

Working in BYU's physics help lab means Matthew tackles calculus daily in its natural habitat — velocity functions, acceleration curves, and the integrals that connect force to work. His applied physics training gives him a fluency with derivatives and integrals that's rooted in solving real problems, not just manipulating symbols on a page. That 34 ACT composite backs up the quantitative chops.

Understanding what a derivative actually measures — not just how to compute one — is the difference between surviving calculus and commanding it. Kacey's applied and computational math training keeps her close to integration techniques, differential equations, and real-world modeling problems every semester, so she explains concepts with the fluency of someone who actively uses them.

Limits, derivatives, and integrals each demand a different kind of thinking, and Helaman tackles them by anchoring abstract definitions to visual and real-world interpretations — what a derivative actually means as a rate of change, why the integral accumulates area. His broad math background across algebra through calculus lets him quickly identify which prerequisite gaps are causing confusion and address them on the spot.

Finance majors at BYU don't just take calculus — they rely on it, using derivatives for marginal analysis and integrals for present value calculations in nearly every upper-level course. Jared brings that applied perspective to tutoring, connecting rules like the chain rule or optimization techniques to the financial models where they actually matter. Rated 5.0 by students.

From epsilon-delta definitions to integration by parts, Calculus rewards students who understand the why behind each technique. Joseph is currently deep in a computational mathematics program, which means he isn't recalling this material from years ago — he's actively using derivatives, integrals, and differential equations in his own coursework. That proximity to the material keeps his explanations sharp and current.

I'm patient, personable, and have an incredible gift for explaining things in a way that makes sense. I majored in Math Education (with a minor in Computer Science), and I have more than eight years of experience teaching math and other STEM subjects.

My name is Jackson, and I have a passion for math and physics (I know, super nerdy). I graduated with a Bachelor's in Physics and a minor in mathematics, and I love helping students understand concepts in both these fields. I have one year of tutoring experience in college/AP-level physics and math (particularly calculus), and I tutor all levels of math and physics. I am a firm believer that there is no such thing as a "math" person. Math and Science are for everyone! That being said, I know these topics can be intimidating to many. I aim to help students understand the foundations of these subjects and prepare them to be better STEM learners.
