Calculus w/o Training Wheels

Starts Sat May 18, 1:30 PM

The goal is to create a collaborative environment where the students in the group try to solve problems that the tutor doesn't necessarily know how to solve themselves. The student's beliefs and justifications will be the standards by which proofs and solutions are measured. 
﻿
The early sessions will be readings from Calculus Gems and problems will be from a variety of places. 
﻿
We'll pick future topics as our interest as a group leads us places.

Preparation for post-calculus math

Starts Sat Jun 8, 10:00 PM

This is a series happening during the summer. You can join and leave any time!
﻿
My goal in this series is to prepare learners for a rigorous mathematically focused curriculum. The environment of college mathematics can be intimidating and uninviting, but practice and rigorous focus can improve one's abilities.
﻿
If you completed Calculus AB or BC (1 or 2), it seems as if school mathematics has been essentially completed. However, many of you may attend college to do more advanced math courses or continue in high school. As someone who has studied many topics and taken tests for many, I am well-versed in the language of post-calculus mathematics.
﻿
The time commitment will be different for everyone. Here are some people who may want to attend this series:
﻿
1. For those who want to prepare for a course next year, I will host weekly sessions on the weekend to teach stuff involving multivariable calculus and linear algebra. 
﻿
2. For others who are generally interested in mathematics, I may host weekday sessions to expose people to an introduction to a variety of topics. 
﻿
3. For individualized help, I may be able to help with some introductory college subjects. Note that my experience is limited though I will be willing to help when I can.
﻿
Here are some things I can help with:
-linear algebra
-multivariable calc
-stats/probability
-diff eq
-proof techniques
-math in physics
-some other stuff
﻿
This will be a learning experience for both of us, and I hope to provide a comfortable learning experience to expose you to the wonderful world of post-calculus mathematics!

AP® Calculus AB Exam Only (2024-25 Year)

Starts Sun Jun 23, 10:00 PM

This series is still appropriate for students taking an actual AP Calculus AB course, but will assume you are not taking an actual course
﻿
Thinking of taking the AP exam next year and don't want to/can't take the course? You've found the perfect series!
﻿
This series will be treated as close to a formal class as possible; the only difference being that it follows a mastery learning method (meaning that it allows ALL students to be caught up with everyone else at once) as opposed to traditional learning (where everyone must follow the same pace as everyone else). This means that several quizzes and tests will be assigned throughout the series. And in order to execute this idea of a formal yet mastery learning class, I will only allow us to advance to next concepts if everyone scores a 90% or higher on these assessments to make the series as easy sailing as possible.
﻿
Self-studying for an AP exam requires a lot discipline, and so you are expected to be prepared to attend the 5 sessions a week (45 minutes each session), although it's fully expected that you'll miss a few sessions here and there.
﻿
Because of this mastery learning method, you will be withdrawn if you still cannot score over a 90% on an assessment assigned over a week ago. If this does happen, i might make another series dedicated to those who've been withdrawn from the series so that you can catchup on your own pace without the guilt of slowing everyone else down.
﻿
I can always schedule a Catchup/Office hours session by request if you were absent for a session/need extra help with a topic.

How much does a calculus tutor cost?

A local calculus tutor can cost anywhere from $25 to $70 per hour. Online, calculus tutors cost anywhere from $0 to $70 per hour.

At Schoolhouse.world, it’s completely free! You can access small-group calculus tutoring sessions anytime, anywhere, run by certified calculus tutors from around the world. Just sign up for an account to get started.

What is the best way to learn calculus?

Calculus builds off of many foundational math skills, while introducing plenty of new concepts combining theory and application. The best way to reinforce new concepts is practice! Khan Academy has an extensive calculus curriculum if you’re looking for practice problems. And if you’re looking for live, personal calculus tutoring, sign up for a session on Schoolhouse.world!

What can I do to be good at calculus?

Make sure you’re solid in math leading up to calculus–such as algebra and pre-calculus. Then as you’re learning calculus, the best things you can do to improve your skills are to practice, identify gaps in your knowledge, and review concepts as many times as you need! At Schoolhouse, our online calculus tutors are here to support you to reinforce topics until you’re confident in them.

How is calculus different from algebra?

Algebra lays down the foundations that underlie both pre-calculus and calculus. While algebra focuses on functions and equations, calculus focuses on integrals and rates of change. In addition to calculus tutoring, we also offer tutoring in algebra where you can brush up on more fundamental concepts.

How can calculus help us?

Calculus, the culmination of a traditional high school math curriculum, helps us model and understand how the world works. These concepts have applications across various disciplines, from architecture and engineering to physics and medicine.

Can I tutor calculus?

Anyone can become an online calculus tutor at Schoolhouse.world! The first step is to get certified in calculus, which requires demonstrating your mastery by taking the relevant Khan Academy unit tests.
