Having spent countless hours teaching calculus to engineering, computer science, and physics majors, Austin knows exactly which pre-calculus skills — rate of change intuition, fluent manipulation of trig identities, comfort with composite and inverse functions — make or break a student's readiness for what comes next. His applied mathematics degree means he treats the course as purposeful groundwork, not just a checklist of disconnected topics. He's particularly sharp at demystifying the leap from algebraic thinking to functional reasoning, where most students first feel lost.

Teaching chemistry courses as adjunct faculty at VCU means Joel regularly watches students hit the same pre-calculus walls — logarithmic pH calculations that fall apart because log properties were never internalized, or rate law problems that stall because exponential functions feel foreign. He tackles those exact gaps head-on, connecting the algebraic scaffolding students already have to the function behavior they'll need in calculus and the sciences. His 1510 SAT and 5.0 rating back up the approach.

The jump into Pre-Calculus — trigonometric identities, polar coordinates, sequences and series — often determines whether a student thrives or struggles in calculus the following year. Roshni treats each topic as a tool with a clear purpose, showing how the unit circle or a logarithmic property will reappear later so students actually retain it. Her science-heavy BS/MD coursework at VCU keeps these concepts in constant use.

Most pre-calculus students hit a wall when the course pivots from computation to conceptual thinking — suddenly they're asked to analyze function behavior, interpret transformations, and reason about limits intuitively. Kyle's philosophy training makes him unusually good at teaching that shift, since his entire graduate education centered on building rigorous arguments from abstract premises. His 1460 SAT and trajectory toward a teaching career at the high school level mean he approaches pre-calc with both the math chops and the instructional intentionality to make topics like rational functions and trigonometric identities genuinely make sense.

Trigonometric identities, polar coordinates, and the behavior of rational functions — Pre-Calculus packs in a huge range of concepts that all need to click before calculus makes sense. Ying approaches each topic by connecting it forward to the engineering applications she encounters at VCU, which gives students a reason to care about why sinusoidal models or limit intuition actually matter.

I am currently a lead preschool teacher. I received my Bachelor's in Psychology from VCU and am looking to return to school to further my education. While in college, I worked as a Supplemental Instruction leader, teaching general biology and anatomy. I have also worked in an after school program with elementary age children, but I have my fondest memories volunteering as a counselor for Camp Kesem. In my own experience, I loved school and now I love teaching even more at all age levels! I especially enjoy the challenge of getting creative to discover what approach and mediums work best for each student. I am available for in person as well as online tutoring.

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 a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!

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!
