About

READ FULLY!
Hey there! I am Kishan, a rising senior. I enjoy math a lot, particularly calculus - which I developed an interest for in 10th grade. I am currently halfway through teaching myself Calc III and a certified calculus tutor in Schoolhouse. This series is a relatively fast paced course that will cover the entirety of the AP Calculus AB/BC curriculum. We will start from the ground up, introducing ourselves to limits, derivatives, integrals, etc...So, if you are here to learn BC, consider skipping until UNIT 5. Hope you enjoy me as your tutor. I am going to add sessions as we go through the series.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

READ FULLY!!!

BC students are allowed to skip any amount of sessions until Unit 5. AB students are expected to attend all sessions, but are allowed (not required) to skip any/all sessions after Unit 8. Anyone with more than 3 unexcused absences may be removed from the series when their respective content is being covered. Please don't miss more than 4 sessions when the AB and BC curriculums are being covered for respective AB & BC students. Please submit an excused absence and message the reason for your absence - if you are absent when your content is being covered - to me through the private chat.

About the Tutor

Hey! I am Kishan (Ki - Shun), a rising senior from Arizona. I love practicing and teaching dancing, learning flips, math, and planes. My favorite field of math is calculus, and I have self-taught myself Calc 1, 2, & 3. Will be joining Schoolhouse tutoring next summer. Will probably go to ASU (accepted!) to get my aerospace engineering and business administration degree.

Upcoming Sessions

Past Sessions

Jul

Session 1

Limits and continuity

Tue Jul 9, 12:00 AM

Intro to Limits. We will talk about the different components of a limit, limit notation, and what they mean. We will then learn the most basic way to find a limit.

Jul

Session 2

Limits and continuity

Wed Jul 10, 12:00 AM

We will find one-sided and general limits from graphs and tables. We will also look at unbounded limits in graphs, equations, and tables

Session 3

Limits and continuity

Wed Jul 10, 11:00 PM

We will explore helpful properties of limits and practice problems using them. We will then dive into some exceptions involved in one of these properties.

Jul

Session 4

Limits and continuity

Fri Jul 12, 12:15 AM

We will develop different algebraic strategies to find limits of radicals, polynomials, trig functions. We will also explore different ways to find limits when direct substitution fails and what each scenario means.

Session 5

Integration and accumulation of change

Fri Jul 12, 11:30 PM

Inverse trig integrals

Jul

Session 6

Limits and continuity

Mon Jul 15, 11:00 PM

We will learn how to use limits to check continuity of a function over an interval. We will also learn how to confirm continuity. 

Jul

Session 7

Differentiation: definition and basic derivative rules

Tue Jul 16, 11:15 PM

Exploring average and instantaneous change: We will learn what a derivative means and learn how to find them using limits in 2 ways. We will go over the two most common notations for derivatives

Jul

Session 8

Differentiation: definition and basic derivative rules

Wed Jul 17, 11:15 PM

We will learn to use the power rule to find derivatives and some useful properties of derivatives. We will then learn when a function is differentiable and why it might not be sometimes (Hint: Derivatives are just limits). 

Jul

Session 9

Differentiation: definition and basic derivative rules

Thu Jul 18, 11:15 PM

We will look at the product, quotient, and chain rule of derivatives. We will then do some practice problems where we will use these rules individually and combined. We will also look at higher order derivatives.

Jul

Session 10

Differentiation: definition and basic derivative rules

Fri Jul 19, 11:15 PM

We will learn derivatives of trig functions, exponential functions, and log functions. You will have to memorize these for the AP exam, but they are really easy to memorize. We will go over some methods to memorize trig derivatives.

Jul

Session 11

Differentiation: composite, implicit, and inverse functions

Mon Jul 22, 11:15 PM

Intro to derivatives in context : relating derivatives to speed, velocity, and acceleration. We will understand how derivatives are related to these 3 physics concepts

Jul

Session 12

Differentiation: composite, implicit, and inverse functions

Tue Jul 23, 11:15 PM

Intro to inverse trig derivatives. Working out formulas for inverse sine and cosine derivatives. 

Jul

Session 13

Differentiation: composite, implicit, and inverse functions

Wed Jul 24, 11:15 PM

Implicit differentiation and related rates. We will learn how to solve problems involving rates of change using derivatives.
