About

We will deep dive into every topic in the AB/BC curriculum but at a beginner-level, meaning you don't need a strong base of Algebra or Precalculus to excel in the series! Even for learners already acquainted with AP Calc, feel free to join for some review :) The only thing required is regular attendance, so that you can take advantage of the in-depth lessons and practice questions of various difficulties. 
﻿
If there are any questions about the topics, please feel free to contact us and we will be more than willing to give one-on-one guidance!

Hi! I'm currently a motivated junior at a high school in Texas. I enjoy making typically difficult topics (like math or standardized testing) easier to understand. I'm happy to help wherever I can! I love reading, crafts, and listening to music.

Hi Everyone!! I'm currently a sophomore at enrolled in a public high school. I hope to share my knowledge with everyone to help them score good SAT marks. In the process, I intend to grow myself and make new friends.

Hi! I am a high school student in New York. I love science related activities, playing volleyball and doing math too! Initially, Maths wasn't my favourite. - At least not till my late secondary school years. Slowly, I started liking it more. Teaching Math to my friends and doing math practices made my love for math grow. Hence I and tutoring some math topics to help others. I really want to positively impact people by helping them through learning math.
