Trig identities and unit circle relationships often feel like arbitrary rules until someone shows you the logic connecting them. Rachelle approaches trigonometry the way she approached her philosophy degree at ASU — by teaching students to see the underlying structure so that identities like double-...

The unit circle is where most trig students either click or check out, and Tracey has a knack for making that moment land. She walks through identities, inverse functions, and the Law of Sines and Cosines by connecting each one back to the geometry students already know. Pursuing her M.A. in Mathema...

The unit circle is where most trigonometry students either click or check out, and Maurice treats it as the backbone of every lesson — connecting sine, cosine, and tangent back to that single diagram until the relationships feel automatic. He also digs into identities by showing students how to spot...

The unit circle alone trips up more students than almost any other single concept in high school math. Daniel teaches trig identities and sinusoidal modeling by tying them to the physics and engineering applications where they actually matter — wave behavior, force components, rotational motion — so...

The unit circle doesn't have to be a memorization nightmare — Teresa teaches students to see the underlying patterns connecting sine, cosine, and tangent so that identities and angle relationships click naturally. Her approach to trig proofs emphasizes logical structure, building each step from what...

Co-teaching an organic chemistry lab at UC Berkeley might seem unrelated to trig, but Yuxuan's biochemistry training means he's constantly working with periodic functions — from modeling enzyme kinetics to analyzing spectral waveforms — so the unit circle and sinusoidal graphs are second nature. He ...

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 su...

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 e...

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 ...

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...

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 descr...

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 Medici...

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 tut...

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 ...

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 campu...
