About
Hi learners! If you are taking AP Calculus BC this school year this series is perfect for you! AP Calculus BC may seem hard at first but with this course supplement you will be familiar with all the topics taught in school ahead of time! Last school year (21-22) I took AP Calculus BC. I received A's both semesters and got a 5 on the AP test (AB subscore: 5, BC subscore: 5). With this series I hope you too can excel in AP Calculus BC!
This series will cover all the units of AP Calculus as you learn them in school. However, it will be more fast-paced so you have understanding of each topic before you learn them in class! In each session, I will go over the main topics/concepts of each unit then assign practice problems.
This series will be held completely on weekends. As I will be a senior this year some of the sessions may be subject to time changes. Please also let me know if your schedule does not match up with the times and I can either change the scheduled times or create office hours!
***If pacing needs to be adjusted, some sessions will have topic changes. The pacing of this series will most likely become slower.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY
The sessions are not mandatory, however I encourage you all to attend each one because there is minimal time to review the topics learned in previous sessions.
