Hello! I'm Dean, an experienced tutor in Geometry, Algebra, and Precalc with 20+ hours of tutoring experience! This course is designed to be an immersive, detailed look into trigonometry for Algebra 2 AND Precalculus . The discrepancy in the courses is not the content, but rather the specific standards of your Alg 2 or Precalc course (e.g. some classes include Trig as a part of Alg 2, while others include it as Precalc). It is highly recommended that you have a knowledge of trigonometry from Geometry - this includes basic trig ratios (sin/cos/tan), trig inverses, special right triangles, and how to solve basic trig equations. This is designed to be an isolated course from all other required Alg 2/Precal concepts, so we will not cover those topics, only the trigonometry topics. This course will be in high amounts of detail. We will cover all trigonometric topics in high detail and a high level of rigor -- thus why I separated this into an 8-week course instead of incorporating it with an Alg 2 session. We'll get a rock-solid foundation in Trigonometry -- expect to be challenged.

This is the second run of my previously successful and well-received AoPS Geometry series. We'll be using Introduction to Geometry by Richard Rusczyk published by the Art of Problem Solving (AoPS). It's a very dense and challenging textbook that really helps you develop a rock-solid foundation in Geometry.

Are you looking to get ready for the AP Exam for AP Human Geography this coming May? Each week, we'll go over a different unit in the course, and strategies and practice for the exam's MCQ and FRQ portions.
