Expert tutors at the University of Maryland, specializing in Math, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, and Chemistry. Whether you're passionate about the subject, or just need to pass a required course, our tutors are here to help. College Park Tutors is a curated service that connects students at University of Maryland (UMD) with experts in their specific courses.
Our top calculus courses are Math 120, Math 140, and Math 141. Whether you're an engineering student grappling differential equations, a business student mastering calculus and statistics, or you're just trying to get through your required math courses in general, we're here to help. We eliminate the guesswork. With veteran tutors who have been through PHYS 161, PHYS 260, and upper level courses, as well as having already tutored these classes at UMD, we won't be experimenting on you.
We support Physics for Biologists (131 and 132) and Physics for Life Sciences as well. At College Park Tutors, we carefully vet all our tutors.

College Park Tutors was founded in 2015 by Alex Weissman, a graduate of UMD's Clark School of Engineering B.S. Comp.
A few years after graduating he partnered with Sarah Baghdadi to develop a business strategy.
Sarah brought her expertise from many years at Brighter Days Collective, DC's largest cooperatively owned and run business.
Alex brought over ten years of experience as a highly recommended tutor in math, engineering and computer science.
Together, Alex and Sarah developed College Park Tutors into a network of carefully vetted, local experts in specific courses taught at University of Maryland.

If you're going into a field such as business or science, you can be sure that you'll have to take calculus in some form or another.
Even if you took calculus in high school, calculus at UMD can be somewhat different.
MATH120 for example tends to focus much more on applications, many of which are related to business and finance.
MATH140 meanwhile, tends to focus on more abstract concepts like limits and specific theorems.
Calculus observes the rates of change in functions and uses that to make sense of the general trends of graphs.

Some of the most popular majors like engineering and biological sciences require Physics 1 and Physics 2. If you're an engineering or physical sciences student, you'll have to take PHYS161 and PHYS260.
If you're in biological sciences, you'll be taking PHYS131 and PHYS132.
If you're an engineering, chemistry, or earth sciences major, you'll probably be taking PHYS161 in your first few semesters at UMD.
You may also have the option to take PHYS171 instead, but beware that this course is designed for physics majors and is considerably more difficult than PHYS161.

If you're like most UMD students, you're probably taking stats to fulfill a requirement for your major - for example BMGT230 for business majors, or STAT100.
If you're an engineering student, you'll probably have to a take a program-specific probability and statistics course like ENEE324, ENME392, ENCE302, CHBE410, or BIOE371.
Engineering prob/stats courses require calculus, and build heavily on concepts from calculus 3 like vector algebra and double integrals.
Regardless of which course you take to satisfy your program's requirement, make sure that you're prepared by working with one of our expert tutors.
