Preparing for Success in Calculus

Thank you very much! [Our son] is doing excellent in AP calculus this year. He has 96% after the first quarter. I think your calculus refresher class helped him out a lot!

B. A., October, 2019

Instructor

Kennon McCaa will teach the Preparing for Success in Calculus summer program. Before Kennon was a high school math teacher for five years, he worked his way through college by tutoring Calculus. Despite struggling in Calculus in high school, he aced all of his many Calculus classes in college and he experienced how successful he could be in Calculus once he stopped thinking that Calculus is impossible.

Dates

This is a one week program. The dates are August 3 – 7, 2020 from 9:30 AM – 11:30 AM at Transformative Tutoring in Osprey or join us online.

This course is scheduled for the end of summer so that students will receive a great warm-up right before the school year starts. Hopefully, this will allow all students to start the year with a positive attitude, tremendous confidence, a great review of the major prerequisite skills, and a sound understanding of the major concepts in Calculus.

Pricing & Discounts
