About
Hi! We both got 5's on the AP Calculus BC exam, and one of the things that helped the most was going over Khan Academy’s AP Calculus course the previous summer.
That’s why we're hosting a summer prep series that meets twice a week between June 20th and August 22nd. We will discuss Units 1-3 of AP Calculus AB and BC. Come with questions or any general/specific topics you'd like to learn from these units. Then, during the session, we will review AP Calculus concepts, do practice problems, and share AP exam tips and tricks!
Previous knowledge required:
- Completion of Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry
- Plans to take AP Calculus AB or BC during the upcoming school year
Required materials:
- pen and paper
- ability to join Zoom sessions
- (recommended) working microphone
Topics
- Unit 1: Limits and Continuity
- Unit 2: Differentiation: Definition and Fundamental Properties
- Unit 3: Differentiation: Composite, Implicit, and Inverse Functions
Tutored by
Hi! I'm a college student who loves math, science, and computer programming. I earned a 1600 on the SAT, as well as 5's on eight AP exams, and I'm happy to help with SAT and AP exam prep. :)
Hello, my name is Sophia! I'm a high school student and I like to read, play video games, and study math! My time zone is Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). I mainly tutor in math, science, and sometimes English. I got an 800 on the SAT Reading & Writing Section, and have 5's in several APs: Human Geography, Biology, Calculus BC, and AP English Language & Comp. I'm happy to help in any of these subjects (including math up to Calc BC, such as Geometry and Algebra).
✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY
Please message the tutors if you are unable or do not want to attend a session!
To make room for other students, you will be withdrawn from the series if you have more than 3 unexcused absences in a row.
