Calculus Lessons in Great Neck. Amazing Teachers.

Experienced teacher of Calculus available for eager students of all experience levels and ages! I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation of skills. I typically use books, and also have the tools available to use during lessons.

The number one rule to Calculus is you don't talk about Calculus....

Just kidding, the actual rule is that Calculus is like Algebra and Trig with Derivatives :) and as you progress into calc 2 its with integrals, and finally in calc 3 it becomes all 3 dimensional and whatnot... That's it...

Well, it's worth considering the amount of time we spend focusing on Algebra components in our developing education, this isn't coincidental in relation to how heavy Algebra plays a role in Calculus, Trig, Statistics, and just about any mathematical application... If we consider Mathematics as a language, Algebra is the Grammar while Calculus, Trig, Stats, etc, are the subject vocabulary.

Students can expect to learn skills and develop proficiency in the following:

Calculus I: Limits, continuous functions, rate of change, derivatives, implicit differentiation, maximum and minimum points and their applications, and development and application of the definite integral.

Calculus II: Logarithmic, exponential, trigonometric and hyperbolic functions, techniques of integration, indeterminate forms, improper integrals, Taylor's formula, and infinite series.

Calculus III: Polar coordinates, vectors and parametric equations, solid analytic geometry, and the calculus of several variables.

Sometimes calculus looks scary. It usually happens when things that we are doing are too abstract for us. I help by connecting calculus to real life and helping my students to understand why we are solving this problem this way and probably invent their own way to solve problems. It's not only helping to improve the grades but also helps with confidence.

I've used calculus in my career for 35 years, as a mechanical engineer and a computational physicist. I know how to solve problems from several different perspectives, so if a student is struggling with one method, I have a repertoire of other techniques to deploy. I find that students thrive when they are given solid examples of solutions and the content isn't hidden from them. I can help expand a student's advantage with computational tools such as Excel and Matlab to accelerate knowledge and deeper understanding.
