Unit by unit

Lessons follow the student's course. This is the kind of material we work through.

Limits and continuity

Limit laws, indeterminate forms, continuity and asymptotes

Derivatives

Definition, power, product, quotient and chain rules

Applications of derivatives

Related rates, optimization, curve sketching, linearization and motion

Integrals

Riemann sums, the Fundamental Theorem and substitution

Integration techniques

Parts, trig integrals, partial fractions and improper integrals

Applications of integrals

Area, volume, arc length, work and average value

Differential equations

Separable equations, slope fields and models

Series

Convergence tests, power series and Taylor polynomials

Where students get stuck

Lost in the procedures

We connect each rule to what it means, so choosing a method gets easier.

Algebra is costing points

We spot the algebra and trig errors behind wrong calculus answers.

A midterm or final is close

We use your syllabus and past exams to focus on the likely question types.

Common questions

How do I know which derivative rule to use?

Look at how the function is built. A product uses the product rule, a function inside a function uses the chain rule, and many problems need both.

My calculus grades are low because of algebra. Can that be fixed during the course?

Usually, yes. We repair the specific algebra and trig skills your current unit uses instead of pausing calculus to review everything.

Do you teach AP Calculus free-response writing?

Yes. We practice setting up work, justifying conclusions and using correct notation.

Can you work from my university's past exams?

Yes. Past exams are one of the best ways to see what your course values.
