Series Details

About

Are you planning to take Calculus classes? In this series, I'll give you the conceptual understanding and the practical strategies that will allow you to succeed in your high school classes, especially for AP Calculus AB and BC.
For 10 days, I'll do my best to combine theory with practice, understanding together the material and working together on questions. In the process, I promise you that you will have a lot of fun! All sessions will be very interactive, insightful, and fun!
I hope that at the end of the series, you will leave our virtual classroom with a calculus enthusiasm and knowledge that will fuel your high school calculus journey!

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

My suggestion, given the short nature of the series, is to attend ALL FOUR sessions. In this way, you'd get the most out of it. If, however, you're unable to attend one of them, just let me know! Thanks!

About the Tutor

I'm an international student who really believes in the power of peer-to-peer interactions. In particular, I truly think they are powerful because they prove that math is way easier than your handbook seems to suggest. I’m also very into history. In my free time, I learn foreign languages and read.
