About

Welcome to our Pre-Calculus Crash Course! Join this series to learn how to solve problems confidently and come out feeling better with math than ever before. In addition, no previous knowledge is required, though some knowledge of previous math courses like Algebra I and II make things much easier. Make sure to have a notebook, pencil, and scientific calculator too!

We'll run through a handful of Pre-Calculus subtopics, from complex numbers and trigonometry to matrices and vectors. We'll also go through the methods/strategies that go hand-in-hand with certain problems and topics by using them in practice problems from Khan Academy. By the end of the series, you will be able to solve any Pre-Calc problem on your own with enough practice and time.

TIME IS TBD! More sessions will be added!

I'll also continue to edit the sessions in the series, so be on the lookout. Hope to see you there! :)

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

If you know you're going to miss a session, please notify me beforehand. Otherwise, if you have 2 unexcused absences, you will be withdrawn from the series. And, like always, try your best to attend as many sessions as possible :)

About the Tutor

Hey, everyone! My name is Vince and I'm a junior. I really like math, languages/cultures, music, and football⚽️. I'm a South Korean native but I currently live in the US. I have spent a lot of time doing math and I began to help my friends with it after I realized they were going through the same roadblocks that I had gone through. My goal is to keep learning new things -- history, stories, songs, etc. -- and enjoy what I do. I'm looking forward to sharing lots of things will you all on schoolhouse.world and helping you guys along the way!
