Tutoring Experience

I have taught Mathematics for 17 years, with extensive experience in AP Calculus AB and BC. My training includes designing targeted lesson plans for advanced Calculus topics such as limits, derivatives, integrals, and series. As an IB examiner for five years, I bring an in-depth understanding of assessment strategies, which translates seamlessly to preparing students for AP Calculus exams. Over my career, I’ve tutored over a hundred students, adapting my sessions to their unique needs and ensuring their success in exams. My personalized teaching style has fostered long-term student relationships, many of whom I have guided through graduation.

Tutoring Approach

I begin each session by identifying the student’s current level in AP Calculus and their specific challenges, tailoring lessons to their syllabus requirements. My approach ensures clarity in fundamental concepts, including derivatives, integrals, and applications of calculus, through varied problem-solving strategies. I create customized practice exams and monitor progress through detailed feedback. By connecting calculus concepts to real-world applications, I keep sessions engaging and relevant, ensuring students remain motivated and confident in their learning.
