Engineering programs demand fluency in trig — resolving force vectors, modeling oscillations, analyzing waveforms — and Sabry built that fluency across both a nuclear engineering degree and a PhD in chemical and biomolecular engineering. He teaches topics like the law of cosines and sinusoidal modeling by grounding them in the physical problems where they naturally appear, so the formulas carry meaning instead of just notation. Years as a university TA sharpened his instinct for diagnosing exactly where a derivation or identity proof goes sideways.

The unit circle doesn't have to be a memorization nightmare. Ashutosh breaks trigonometric identities and angle relationships into visual patterns that click, connecting sine, cosine, and tangent to the geometric intuition students already have from earlier math courses.
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 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 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'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
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!
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 rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many students struggle with the transition from memorizing formulas to understanding why trigonometric relationships work. Common pain points include visualizing angles and unit circles, applying trig functions to word problems, and connecting multiple solution methods. Students also often find it challenging to move from procedural calculation (plugging numbers into formulas) to conceptual understanding of how sine, cosine, and tangent relate to real-world situations. A tutor can help you see these patterns and build confidence by breaking down concepts step-by-step.
Your first session focuses on understanding your current level, learning style, and specific goals—whether you're preparing for a test, struggling with a particular unit, or building foundational understanding. A tutor will likely review some recent classwork or problem sets to identify where conceptual gaps exist, then work through a few problems together to see how you approach problem-solving. This helps establish a personalized plan that addresses your unique needs rather than following a generic curriculum.
Word problems require translating real-world scenarios into mathematical equations—a skill that goes beyond knowing formulas. A tutor teaches you to identify what information matters, sketch diagrams to visualize the problem, and determine which trigonometric function applies. By working through problems systematically and discussing your reasoning out loud, you'll develop problem-solving strategies that work across different contexts, rather than memorizing specific problem types.
Showing work demonstrates your understanding and helps identify exactly where errors occur—critical for both learning and earning partial credit on tests. Tutors help you develop clear, organized problem-solving steps: stating what you're solving for, writing out formulas, showing substitutions, and explaining your reasoning. This practice builds mathematical communication skills and makes it easier for teachers to give you feedback on your thinking, not just your final answer.
The unit circle is foundational to Trigonometry but often feels abstract when introduced through memorization. Tutors help you see it as a visual tool that connects angle measures to coordinate pairs and trig ratios, building from basic right triangles to the full circle. Once you understand the underlying relationships, you can apply the unit circle to solve equations, graph trigonometric functions, and tackle more complex problems—moving from "memorize these values" to "I can derive them when I need them."
Buffalo's 24 school districts may use different textbooks and approaches to teaching Trigonometry. Experienced tutors are familiar with various curricula and can work directly from your textbook, class notes, and assignments to ensure consistency with what your teacher expects. This personalized alignment means you're reinforcing concepts exactly as they're presented in class, rather than learning a different approach that might confuse you during tests.
Math anxiety is real and often stems from feeling lost or struggling to keep up in class. One-on-one tutoring creates a pressure-free space where you can ask questions without judgment, work at your own pace, and build confidence through small wins. As you understand concepts more deeply and see yourself solving problems correctly, anxiety typically decreases. Many students find that personalized instruction transforms their relationship with math from "I can't do this" to "I can figure this out."
Progress varies based on your starting point and goals, but most students see improvement in both understanding and grades within a few weeks of consistent tutoring. You might move from struggling with basic trig ratios to confidently solving multi-step problems, or from test anxiety to approaching exams with a clear problem-solving strategy. Beyond grades, many students develop stronger mathematical reasoning skills and the confidence to tackle challenging concepts independently.
