Calculus 1 introduction

Starts Today, 7:00 PM

We will go through Calc 1 quickly since school is coming up, just make sure to know precalc before enrolling here. quick about me: I am a student who has a passion for STEM and am decent at STEM subjects, got a 5 on the BC exam. Hope you join the Calc 1 bootcamp!

Calculus Q&A

Starts Today, 9:30 PM

As a Calc BC 5 scorer, I am super familiar with what is being tested and what is not on the actual AP exam (at least for 2025), so if you have specific questions about what is being tested or how to write FRQs to get full points I'm here! Also, if you are having trouble on your homework or classwork, you can also hop in since this is a session that is largely depended on student requests (afterall, it is a Q&A).

Journey to a 5🔥AP Calc AB

Starts Sat Aug 16, 12:30 AM

Get ready for AP Calculus AB with a 5 scorer! Learn the various crucial topics that will come on the AP test. We will cover multiple concepts in every session, each accompanied by detailed/intuitive explanations, as well as interactive questions. This is the continuation of a previous course with the same name, and does require some prerequisite knowledge from AP Calculus AB. This course will cover a wide range of topics, from trigonometric derivatives and rules to real-life use cases, such as optimization.

Visualization of Trigonometric Derivatives

Starts Sat Aug 16, 12:30 AM

Most students learn to differentiate trigonometric functions by memorizing formulas. But what do these derivatives really mean? Why does the derivative of sin(x) become cos(x)? How can we see it happen? In this course, we take a visual and conceptual journey through the derivatives of the core trigonometric functions—sine, cosine, tangent, and beyond. Using animations, geometric interpretations, unit circle dynamics, and slope-based thinking, we uncover the why behind each rule, not just the how. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to: 1. Visually interpret the meaning of sin’(x), cos’(x), and tan’(x) 2. Understand the rate of change of trig functions using the unit circle Whether you’re preparing for calculus, revising for exams, or just curious about the deeper meaning of trigonometry, this course will help you build strong, intuitive foundations that go far beyond rote memorization.

At Schoolhouse.world, it’s completely free! You can access small-group calculus tutoring sessions anytime, anywhere, run by certified calculus tutors from around the world. Just sign up for an account to get started.

What is the best way to learn calculus?

Calculus builds off of many foundational math skills, while introducing plenty of new concepts combining theory and application. The best way to reinforce new concepts is practice! Khan Academy has an extensive calculus curriculum if you’re looking for practice problems. And if you’re looking for live, personal calculus tutoring, sign up for a session on Schoolhouse.world!

What can I do to be good at calculus?

Make sure you’re solid in math leading up to calculus–such as algebra and pre-calculus. Then as you’re learning calculus, the best things you can do to improve your skills are to practice, identify gaps in your knowledge, and review concepts as many times as you need! At Schoolhouse, our online calculus tutors are here to support you to reinforce topics until you’re confident in them.

How is calculus different from algebra?

Algebra lays down the foundations that underlie both pre-calculus and calculus. While algebra focuses on functions and equations, calculus focuses on integrals and rates of change. In addition to calculus tutoring, we also offer tutoring in algebra where you can brush up on more fundamental concepts.

How can calculus help us?

Calculus, the culmination of a traditional high school math curriculum, helps us model and understand how the world works. These concepts have applications across various disciplines, from architecture and engineering to physics and medicine.

Can I tutor calculus?

Anyone can become an online calculus tutor at Schoolhouse.world! The first step is to get certified in calculus, which requires demonstrating your mastery by taking the relevant Khan Academy unit tests. After getting certified, you can apply to become a tutor and join our global volunteer community.
