About

Each week, we’ll cover a new unit from the AP Calculus BC curriculum. There will be two sessions per week for lessons and I will run a 3rd optional sessions for questions regarding what we learned during the week. By the end of the camp, you’ll be well-prepared to succeed in the first few months of your AP Calculus BC class. Topics that we cover will include Derivatives, Integrals, Limits, and some essential BC topics like advanced integration techniques.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

For this AP Calculus Prep course, I have set a few ground rules to maximize our success in the course. These rules include:

1. Let the tutor know if you won't be in attendance for a given lesson. I will hold hours to ask questions, but regardless, please be punctual and try to attend all lessons. You will be withdrawn from the series if you miss any session without giving the tutor prior notice.

2. Homework is optional, but highly recommended. I understand that it is the summer, and many of you will be working on college apps, but front loading work will save you immensely in the long run.

3. Be polite and respectful. We only have so much time together, and I want to use our time effectively to get the most out of this course.
