About

Are you taking AP Calculus next year? Are you trying to get a head start? If so, this is the perfect place for you! In this 2-1/2 week long course, we will cover the very basics of AP Calculus. By the end, you will have a firm understanding of what a derivative means.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

I will never withdraw you for not showing up. However, some sessions will be based on previous sessions, so if you can't make it one day, I ask you to reach out to me so you can catch up before the next session starts!

About the Tutor

Hi! My name is Raymond. I love spreading everything I know about math, as it’s something I truly believe is amazing for us to observe. I can’t guarantee that I will know how to do everything in the sessions I host, but I can guarantee that I will do my best to help you! Some of my non-academic interests include: Education Policy, Archery, and Dance Moms!
