I have about 3 years of experience tutoring college-level math. I work well with all ages, so I can tutor K-12 math topics like Arithmetic, Fractions, Functions, Algebra, Geometry; advanced high-school/college topics like Pre-Calculus, Calculus I-III, Linear Algebra; and some more advanced topics like Techniques of Proof, Differential Equations, Real Analysis, Abstract Algebra, etc. In 2024, I graduated from Appalachian State University with a degree in Mathematics. Whenever I tutor someone, I ask them what goal they have for the session, and I help them achieve it. I explain concepts clearly and thoroughly, and I do not mind going back and re-explaining something. I love learning math, and a great way to learn math is to teach it. I also love helping others, so tutoring is a perfect fit!

After struggling in my entry-level Chemistry and calculus classes but excelling in history, English, and Literature classes, I realized that my gifts were in these areas as opposed to science and higher math. I also realized that teaching was my calling after earning my teaching certification from UNC-Charlotte. However, I love science! Although I was initially certified in Biology, my first teaching position was teaching physical science. I LOVED IT! I taught myself physics and eventually earned my AP Physics 1 certification from College Board. It was the journey into physics that revealed my strengths in applying physics to Real World phenomena,I have taught physical science, physics, AP Physics 1, Algebra I, literature, and grammar. I have worked 1 to 1 teaching homebound students in science, and literature. My love of history makes me passionate about it as well! I read nonfiction American history as a hobby! I also have traveled extensively in the Lower 48 States with North Dakota, Oregon, Louisiana, Alaska, and Hawaii being the only states I have never visited.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tutors who attended or graduated from Appalachian State University bring firsthand familiarity with rigorous coursework, local academic standards, and the specific challenges students face in your area. They understand the curriculum depth at App State and similar institutions, which helps them pitch instruction at the right level and anticipate common stumbling blocks. This direct experience means they can share proven study strategies and offer insights into what professors expect, making instruction more relevant and effective.

Tutors with App State backgrounds excel across a wide range of subjects, particularly in core academics like mathematics, sciences, English, and business—areas where App State maintains strong programs. Many have advanced expertise in engineering, education, health sciences, and liberal arts disciplines. Because they've completed these coursework sequences themselves, they can break down complex topics clearly and guide students through the same material they once mastered, providing confident, informed instruction.

Yes. Tutors who graduated from Appalachian State University are excellent guides for high school students preparing for college. They've navigated the transition themselves and can help you build the academic habits, time management skills, and conceptual depth that college instructors expect. They can also speak authentically about what life at App State is like, answer questions about balancing coursework and campus life, and prepare you for the intellectual rigor of university-level instruction.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows a tutor to focus entirely on your learning style, pace, and goals in ways a classroom setting cannot. An App State alumni tutor can adjust explanations on the fly, spend extra time on weak areas, and accelerate through concepts you've already mastered. Research consistently shows that individualized attention significantly improves learning outcomes—tutors can diagnose exactly where confusion starts and address it immediately, rather than moving at a group pace that may leave gaps in your understanding.

Varsity Tutors matches you with tutors based on your subject, academic level, and learning needs—including the option to prioritize tutors with App State experience. Once matched, you'll work directly with your tutor to schedule sessions, set goals, and build a customized learning plan. The process is straightforward and designed to get you productive instruction as quickly as possible, so you can start making progress on the skills and subjects you need most.

Absolutely. When a tutor has walked the same academic path you're on—completing the same coursework, passing the same exams, and mastering the same concepts—it builds confidence. Seeing someone who succeeded reassures you that the material is learnable, and their specific guidance helps you develop the skills and understanding to succeed too. Over time, as concepts click and your grades improve, that confidence compounds, making it easier to tackle harder material and take on new academic challenges.

Yes. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who can work around your schedule, whatever that looks like—whether you need sessions early morning, evenings, weekends, or during semester breaks. This flexibility means you can get support exactly when you need it most, whether that's during midterms, before major projects, or to help you master foundational concepts early in the semester so later coursework feels more manageable.
