About

We will be using the collegeboard AP Precalc curriculum standards, not the Khan Academy curriculum standards. 
﻿
If learners want a particular topic to be covered it can be requested. 
﻿
Lectures (with slides shared later) will generally alternate with practice problems pertinent to the lecture in the session just prior to the practice session. In the beginning we will have more than one session dedicated to a lecture before doing problems. There are review sessions scattered in between. Structure is based on Cohen textbook, 11th ed.
﻿
The tutor has taken the AP Precalculus exam last year and scored a 5.
