About

Taking Precalculus next year? We'll be covering the most important things you'll need to know.

I'm basing this series on the Glencoe textbook I used last year in Honors Precalculus. However, I'll skip some units to focus on covering topics that are emphasized on the AP Precalculus exam (which I got a 5 on, without studying, purely based on the curriculum in this textbook!).

I'm going to be trying my best to make this series as interactive as possible! We'll be solving tons of problems together and you'll get a chance to share your explanations and methods with everyone.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

No worries if you can't make a session. But, please let me know ahead of time so I can get you caught up! :)

About the Tutor

Hi! I'm a high school student with a passion for education. When I'm not blasting Harry Styles or Phoebe Bridgers, you can find me reading poetry, baking, or crocheting. I’m currently taking a variety of AP classes, and I'm also a coach, subworld moderator, and user support co-lead here at Schoolhouse—if you have any questions or want to review topics together, feel free to reach out! I’d love to help.

Review Game!
We covered most of the foundational information that you'll need next year for precalculus. While we couldn't go through everything, I hope this series was helpful! We can do a quick review game to review all the topics we learned.

I'll also share some additional resources that you might want to consider using next year.
