Math Tutoring · Calculus
Calculus tutoring that starts where your student actually is.
Limits, derivatives, and AP Calculus - from a teacher’s teacher.
Who this is for
AP Calculus AB students, college Calculus I students, and ambitious Precalculus students looking ahead. Calculus is the summit of high school math - and Dr. Cheryl wrote Nifty Notes for the trail.
Common challenges
- Limits - the concept everything else stands on
- The definition of the derivative versus derivative shortcuts
- Choosing between chain, product, quotient, and implicit differentiation
- Reading derivative graphs and connecting f, f′, and f″
What students work on
- Limits: computation, intuition, and the squeeze of continuity
- Differentiation from the definition through every rule
- Analyzing functions and derivatives graphically
- AP Calculus review with full-length practice and scoring strategies
How instruction is tailored
Dr. Cheryl’s three-part AP Calculus Nifty Notes series - Differentiation, Methods of Differentiation, and Analyzing Derivatives Graphically - forms the spine of her calculus tutoring. Students build intuition first, speed second.
