Autumn 2024 Course Offerings
For autumn 2024, we're pleased to offer a group class for AP Calculus preparation, as well as individual tutoring for the SAT, ACT, Math, Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science, and English.
Group classes are available upon request for any academic subject or standardized test.
How to Solve AP Calculus Problems like an Expert
Students who take the AP Calculus Exam each spring consistently report 2 difficulties:
-
They've become rusty with much of the material from the fall semester
-
They're not sure how to apply the math they know to the exam problems
How to Solve AP Calculus Problems like an Expert is an online class that addresses both of these issues with weekly, 60 minute problem solving sessions. Each lesson begins with a brief review of the relevant calculus topic, followed by instruction about how to apply that topic to idiosyncratic AP Exam problems, culminating in examples in which the students have ample opportunities to practice what they've learned. Sessions run through the fall and spring semesters leading up to the AP Calculus Exam in May.
​
The course is narrowly focused on the AP Exam, and is NOT a substitute for an AP Calculus class.
