Calculus (Single Variable) Tutoring

Is your student struggling in their second level calculus course? Are they worried about their upcoming AP Calculus BC examination?

The highest echelon of math available in high school, BC level calculus is very difficult. Only the brightest students make it this far, and so it is understandable that this course and its attendant examination would challenge even the most dedicated and intelligent of students. The AP Calculus BC examination is one of the hardest tests that a high school student can take- the culmination of years and years of mathematical training- and getting credit for it hinges on two mathematical concepts: differentiation and integration.

Differentiation is the mathematical process of finding the slope of a curve. Integration is the mathematical process of finding the area under a curve. This kind of problem sounds simple, but it isn’t. Integration is often considered the more difficult of the two. It comes in many flavors, each with it’s own set of pitfalls for your student: indefinite and definite integrals, Riemann sums, integration by parts, integration by substitution, integration by trigonometric substitution, integration by partial fractions, integration in multiple dimensions, the fundamental theorem of calculus, and so on. And, in addition to straightforward number problems, the AP Calculus BC test boasts a healthy number of story problems, in which integration must be applied to real-life problems.

However, beating this difficult test has huge benefits, both for your student and for your bank account! A passing score of 3-5 can mean college credit for the first two quarters of college calculus! Your student can earn credits that would cost you thousands of dollars in tuition for just the price of a test and a tutor! AND, getting this credit also means advanced placement for your student! In addition being a requirement for more advanced math courses, first year calculus is often a university prerequisite for introductory chemistry or physics courses, which in turn are often prerequisites for biology or engineering courses. Advanced placement means that you student can jump right into what they really want to study and stay ahead of the game!

These academic and educational advantages of doing well on the AP Calculus BC exam are a great incentive (for you AND for your student!) to ace the test!
