Series Details

About

The purpose of this approximately 4-6 week series is for me, as a 5 scorer on the AP Calculus AB exam (taking BC this year as a class, self-studied content last year, and now self-studying some multivariable calculus), to help you better understand all the mathematical knowledge and skills you need to know for success in the AP Calculus class, exam and beyond - regardless of where you are currently in your preparation! Just starting to prepare for taking AP Calculus AB/BC next year? Great! Come join me as we delve into topic-by-topic sessions on all of the calculus (and precalculus - which I'll review briefly where needed as well) skills, tips, and tricks you need to achieve your desired score. Already learned some AP Calculus content in the class you're taking this year and/or feel like you'd benefit from some guidance? Well, you've come to the right place. With many resources on hand (including notes and many topic-by-topic/full practice question sources), I'll do my best to help guide you through this journey. No prior knowledge of calculus is required - it's completely open to anyone from beginners to those who just want to refresh/recap their skills. And yes, if all you need is some more resources to get you going in the right direction, this is the right place for you as well! Full Disclosure: the reason I didn't take AP Calculus BC last year as a class was due to a scheduling conflict that took place with a compulsory history class at my school. Just wanted to get that out of the way for any skeptics out here! Math Qualifications: - Recently Took AP Calculus AB (+ Experience In AP Calculus BC + Multivariable Calculus) - Scored A 5 - A*/9 In Edexcel IGCSE Mathematics & Further Mathematics (Covers Pre-Algebra - Calculus) - Gold Award In UKMT Junior & Intermediate Mathematics Challenges (2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 Best In School Award) - Silver Award In UKMT Senior Mathematics Challenge (2020, 2021) - Distinctions In CEMC Mathematics Contests (2020, 2021, 2022) - 800 Math Score In June SAT

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Please try to avoid missing two or more sessions in a row. If you have a valid reason for not meeting this attendance requirement, message me and we can go over the content covered. An invalid reason for no attendance, however, will sadly lead to removal from the series.

P.S. Trust me - I don't want to remove anyone from this series! I want to help y'all learn and get better, so just do your best to show up.

About the Tutor

High school senior in Texas (from India, grew up in Singapore) with a deep passion for math, computer science, and their relations with other STEM fields. Outside of school, I enjoy pursuing interdisciplinary research projects, participating in FIRST robotics competitions, debating in the World Schools format, and programming using a variety of languages (Python, C++, and JavaScript being my favorites). Having recently worked as a STEM-oriented volunteer tutor for various organizations in Singapore and India, I'm excited to join Schoolhouse and continue this journey of giving back to the community. Also a fan of '80s-'00s pop, rock, rap, and Bollywood music!

Session 1

Orientation

In this session, we'll be introducing ourselves and going over the structure of the course. This includes dates, times, etc. of when I'll host Office Hours/Q&A sessions, and other administrative details. This session will be half the length of a usual one (i.e. 30 mins vs. 1-hour content session), and we may end early if necessary.

Session 2

Orientation

In this session (which I incorrectly put as timing-wise for Friday), we'll be introducing ourselves and going over the structure of the course. This includes dates, times, etc. of when I'll host Office Hours/Q&A sessions, and other administrative details. Then, I'll dive straight into covering some content in the first chapter (limits)/revising precalculus content based on where more students lie knowledge-wise.

Session 3

Other Topics

In this session, we'll go over the first part of the math principles in AP Calculus, focusing particularly on the limits topic. Here, I'll be explaining what limits exactly are as a concept, then providing relevant practice questions to get you guys going. I'll also provide more detailed class descriptions in the near future, alongside confirming dates for future sessions within the coming days. Due to my research and extracurricular commitments (alongside the college application process), I am quite busy these days, meaning it takes me a while to schedule things in advance. I do check DMs decently often, though, so if you have questions please feel free to ask!

Session 4

Other Topics

In this session, we'll go deeper into the first part of the math principles in AP Calculus, focusing particularly on the limits topic. Here, I'll be going through more advanced limits questions and what they look like in the context of AP MCQ and FRQ questions. Note that this session will be more problem-solving based (though I do always ensure that, after some explanation, I get my students to answer questions I give along the way to ensure the lesson is as interactive as I can make it.) I'll also share more specific exam techniques relevant to limits.

Session 5

Other Topics

In this session, we'll go deeper into the second part of the math principles in AP Calculus, focusing particularly on the derivatives topic. Here, I'll be going through more advanced derivatives (focusing on product and quotient rules, alongside chain rule if sufficient time is available) and what they look like in the context of AP MCQ and FRQ questions. Note that this session will be more problem-solving based (though I do always ensure that, after some explanation, I get my students to answer questions I give along the way to ensure the lesson is as interactive as I can make it.) I'll also share more specific exam techniques relevant to derivatives. Note that these content descriptions are for now; I'm always willing to move further ahead or slow down a bit depending on the class's preference.
