Summer Calculus Crash Course 2.
Class Experience
US Grade 9 - 12
Students attend four live classes with me every week. I spend more time in class with you every week than any other instructor offering a calculus group class on Outschool. I introduce topics and we work on problems during each class. My teaching style is based on doing problems together with lots of student input and interaction. I am a highly experienced calculus instructor. I have 19 years of teaching experience including many years of experience teaching at the best boarding schools in...

This class is taught in English.
- Students learn the most commonly taught concepts in calculus and are prepared to thrive in calculus when they return to school.
2 - 4 hours per week outside of class
Homework
Frequency: includedFeedback: includedDetails: Problems sets are provided for students to complete on their own each week. This is expected to take students about four hours per week. The problem sets are meant to reinforce the concepts taught in class. To get the most benefit out of my class, it is strongly recommended that students complete the problem sets but it is not mandatory.Grading
Frequency: includedDetails: A message to the parents summarizing the student's progress in the course is available upon request.
I provide packages of problem sets for students to complete outside of class each week. If you have a tablet and pen, please have that ready for class so that you can write and interact during the lesson. If you don't have a tablet, it is not mandatory and class is still fun and interactive and very effective without it.
