Even though my career is in abstract theoretical physics, I have extensive experience with teaching the AP curriculum as well the IB. I genuinely can't think of a student of mine who did not score a 5 on the AP exam (in both physics and calculus). In college, I also spent a couple summers developing SAT...See Eric's full profile

Calculus is the most important mathematical tool for describing the real world. I've tutored dozens of students for hundreds of hours in calculus, so I'm familiar with the subtopics where students are most likely to struggle. I've also written on-line content and parts of solution manuals for...See Marc's full profile

Hi! I'm David. I have a master's degree in particle physics from the University of Washington and have worked at MIT as an experimental physics instructor and as a member of the Physics Education Group. I currently live near MIT and have been known to use their library resources (and sometimes the brains of my...See David's full profile

As a doctoral student I assistant-taught several semesters of Calculus, and taught summer courses myself on a few occasions. For both, I held well-attended office hours in which I did small-group and one-on-one tutoring. Calculus is about a beautiful connection between symbolic manipulation and geometric...See Peter's full profile

I have a Ph.D. in physics and speak calculus daily in my professional life. As a tutor, I liken calculus to parallel parking, or driving a car with a stick shift, or parallel parking in a car with a stick shift -- on a hill. That is, it can seem impossible at first, but any 15-year-old can learn how to do...See Peter's full profile

These office hours were for any math students, so I quickly became adept at answering questions about almost any math-related problem, be it a problem with an integral for a calculus student, or a misunderstanding about trigonometry, or more advanced proof-based math courses like Analysis. I try to guide students...See Arjun's full profile

I completed a degree in Physics from Yale University, and offer a number of years of experience as a teacher and tutor. I am also a freelance writer and consider myself as capable in the humanities (reading and writing skills) as in math and science. For the past four years, I've worked with one of the leading...See Jonathan's full profile

Hi, I'm John! I currently work as a full-stack software engineer. I have both my Bachelors and Masters in Computer Science, with a minor in Chinese Studies, from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in Massachusetts. I graduated with a 3.7/4.0 GPA, and was a member of my university's Dean's List from 2019-2022. In...See John's full profile

Throughout my tenure at MIT, I've had the opportunity to teach on numerous occasions. Most recently I was a teaching assistant at an undergraduate level for Microcontrollers Lab, where I worked directly with students in a hands-on environment. Under my guidance, my students walked away with a thorough understanding of...See Siddharth's full profile

I carefully select practice questions that help pinpoint any weak points and build a strong foundation for a deeper understanding. My primary focus is on college and high school students who are tackling courses like linear algebra, quantum mechanics, AP calculus, or AP trigonometry. With over a decade of...See Alek's full profile

I am most experienced teaching competition math and physics (F=ma/AMC/AIME), AP Physics 2, AP Physics C, and AP Calculus BC. I also have experience teaching high school math (geometry, algebra, and precalculus), and college-level probability, statistics, multivariable calculus, and linear algebra....See James's full profile

Hi! I'm Ariel. I have multiple years of experience tutoring Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Precalculus, Calculus, and SAT Math. I had multiple tutoring jobs throughout high school, and I did peer tutoring with my classmates. I received A's or above in all relevant classes, and I received a 750 on the Math section...See Ariel's full profile

I've been tutoring calculus for over eight years, and specialize in helping students develop a more intuitive understanding of the subject (as opposed to simply applying formulas). See Esther's full profile

Any notes I take during the lesson are yours to keep! My available subjects include Elementary Math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Trigonometry, Precalculus, Calculus, Elementary Science, Chemistry, Physics, and English Language Arts. I also offer standardized test prep! (AP, SAT, ACT, GED)...See Dustin's full profile

I am an experienced tutor who has worked with students in the entire range of subjects offered in middle and high school, including calculus. I have studied and worked with math my entire life. I was valedictorian of my high school class, and scored the highest possible score on the AP calculus test. I...See Jon's full profile

My education is in chemical engineering and I have a Masters in Physics Education. I am actually more qualified to teach Calculus than most mathematics educators as I have used it professionally up to Partial DIfferential Equations and Numerical Analysis. See JACQUES's full profile

Calculus is the study of instantaneous change using a variety of methods to solve many different kinds of problems. We can use calculus as a framework to model the real world to help understand how it behaves under different circumstances. Of course, calculus is a mathematical tool set that we use...See Michael's full profile

My degree program had a concentration in applied mathematics, which utilizes calculus and its offshoots (eg: differential equations) to model real-world phenomena. In addition to the usual calculus studies (differentiation, integration, sequences/series, multivariable, etc.), I have delved into using...See Andrew's full profile

I performed well in my physics courses as an MIT student. I have tutored students in classic mechanics, electricity, and magnetism. I can offer help in both non-Calculus and Calculus based courses. My emphasis is on using physics principles to set up problems so that the remaining math becomes straightforward.See Larry's full profile

As an undergraduate and graduate student in physics, applied mathematics, including calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra, was one of the main tools used to solve problems. When teaching physics, if the student was not comfortable with the math needed to understand the material, I filled in the gaps.See Anand's full profile

MIT graduate with extensive experience tutoring calculus including limits of functions, rates of change, using the tangent to find a linear approximation, finding derivatives of polynomial, exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions, solving for critical points including maxima, minima and points of...See Robert's full profile

As a physicist, I use calculus almost every day.See Matt's full profile

I've tutored a number of students in basic calculus with excellent results. I have a lot of practical experience using calculus (speaking as an engineer). I'm very adaptable to the student's needs and I like to explain things geometrically for the students who enjoy visuals. I also know lots...See Andrew's full profile

I won a Technical Achievement Award, and published over 2 dozen internal technical reports and four papers in refereed journals. Basic calculus contains three powerful ideas: taking limits, computing slopes of curved lines, and computing areas under curves. My approach to teaching calculus is to (a) ensure...See Richard's full profile
