Series Details

About

Hi, my name is David and this will be a two week series that will cover Pre-calculus's trigonometry subjects. Though trigonometry can be confusing at first, getting these fundamentals down will make future problems much easier. I hope that you will come out of this series will a strong foundation in trigonometry that will allow you to apply these skills to more complex problems.

This is the perfect series of people currently studying trigonometry but need some help or people who are just starting to learn trigonometry and want to learn more.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Only our sessions about new content are required—all catch-up sessions are optional. If you complete the unit test early and show it to me, then you are also free to end the series early!

About the Tutor

Hi! I am a rising high school senior that loves math, science, medicine, and learning. Currently, I am focusing on computer science, medicine, and Chinese. I scored a 5 on AP Calculus BC, and I got an SAT reading score of 780 and a 800 on my SAT Math. I am a varsity swimmer and enjoy snowboarding during the winter. At any given time, you will find me buried in a book, learning something new online, trying new foods, playing video games, or getting ready for college.
