The material used in Precalculus classes is essential math for more advanced topics like Calculus or Probability theory or Complex analysis, Linear Algebra or even Differential Geometry, etc. (it follows Algebra 1 and 2). Naturally it is impossible to avoid being good at the relevant syllabus if you hope to learn...See Sotirios's full profile

I have tutored Precalculus for over ten years, and have consistently helped students to both understand their course content and to achieve high grades in the class. I believe that anyone can understand material, no matter how advanced, if the information is broken down in a way that feels manageable, and if they...See Amanda's full profile

I work with my students through Math Competition Program (MCP). The goal of MCP is to give all students a solid foundation in competition mathematics. To successfully accomplish this, I build upon topics gradually and thoroughly - rather than providing a quick fix for problems and gaps. Every new idea and block of...See Oleg's full profile

Much of my work with precalculus students has consisted of a thorough review of trigonometry, finite and infinite series and sequences, and analytic geometry. My approach is always to be sure that the basics are mastered before attempting more advanced topics (e.g., students need to have mastered the graphical...See Jeffrey's full profile

There is no one way to learn. Rote memorization is at one end of the spectrum and instantaneous complete understanding and insight of the topic is at the other end. There is a lot in between. People do not learn everything the same way - their own ability to learn changes from moment to moment and subject to subject....See Theodore's full profile

Tutoring is an act of observation. It succeeds where normal instruction fails because it is geared toward a student's particular strengths. My best experiences as a tutor have been with the students who needed me most, learning how they needed to learn. I have been a tutor in one setting or another since childhood....See Francesca's full profile
