Series Details

About

Planning on taking AP Calculus AB or BC next school year? This series will be a perfect introduction to the subject, preparing you for the material you will encounter in the upcoming school year! We'll cover the first unit of AP Calc, involving limits and continuity, which will build a foundation for all future calculus work. No prior knowledge of calculus is necessary, but a strong foundation in algebra and pre-calculus is suggested. Sessions will be interactive, consisting of mixed practice problems and lesson material, and practice problems will be provided at the end of every session. Many practice problems will come from Khan Academy. Session times are not currently fixed, and upcoming sessions will be scheduled as much as possible based on learner availability! We will aim to finish the series before September. Qualifications: I took Calculus BC two years ago and earned a 5 on the exam. Last year, I earned an A+ in Multivariable Calculus.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Please let me know if you will miss a session so I can send you the materials. Each session builds upon the previous one, so missing more than 2 sessions will make it difficult to keep up.
