About

A beginner-friendly introductory crashcourse on differentiation! We will cover the fundamentals of calculus, the fundamentals of differentiation, how to calculate derivatives, and how derivatives are applied in the real world.

I tutor Calculus and I got a 5 on the AP BC. I aim to make calculus more approachable and intuitive as calculus is used extensively in physics and technology. I believe having a solid foundation in math opens up many more career pathways in STEM.

Session Structure: I will explain concepts in differential calculus in an intuitive manner so you can understand where some critical equations originated from. Then, we will use our knowledge to solve practice problems on Khan Academy. We will end with a Q&A where you can ask questions on differential calculus!

Prerequisites: You don't need to know any calculus as this is an introductory course, but you should have knowledge in algebra. It is recommended that you bring some paper and a pen - we will be working on some problems in the session!

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Please try to attend as many sessions as possible! Message me if you can't make it. If you don't attend three sessions in a row, I would have to remove you to make room for other learners.
