All classes below are one hour in length.

Integrated 2 Preview: Mon, June 10th – Fri , July 5th, M/W/F at 3:30 pm. Minimum of 3 students, maximum of 5. $490 for 12 sessions (normally $840 for a 1-on-1 rate), due June 3rd. No refunds for missed sessions. Sessions will be over Zoom for convenience so you can attend even if you’re travelling. If you can’t make a session, sessions can be recorded for viewing at a time of your convenience. Materials will be shared via Google Drive and will need to be printed out and put in a binder. Purchasing a document camera is highly recommended for optimal learning. (Please click here to purchase one.)

Integrated Math is notorious for teaching many things at one time. On any given problem set, a student can be tasked with showing mastery of up to 10 different concepts spanning Algebra, Geometry, and Statistics. In addition, there are no examples in the book of how to actually approach these concepts and, sometimes, not even direct instruction from teachers as many adopt a “self-discovery”/group-teach model of learning. I aim to take the guesswork out by directly teaching core concepts in a structured, easy-to-understand, replicable manner. This summer preview is by no means comprehensive but will equip incoming Int. 2 students with a strong Algebraic foundation transferable not only to this class but all future math classes. Special emphasis will be placed on 5 ways to solve quadratics, Special Right Triangles, Basic Trigonometry progressions, working with different angles, and formatting dreaded proofs.  Also good for students who want a review or preview of core Algebra 1 concepts heading into their Geometry year. This is a fast-paced course, so your child should have earned a minimum of a B 1st semester in Int 1; this is not a fill-in-the-gaps course.  There is 1/2 hour to 1 hour of homework after each class.  This is our sixth year teaching this course and all our former students have done extremely well after taking this course. Taught by math whiz and all around great guy Patrick who has been on staff for many years.

Integrated 3A/Precalculus Preview: Mon, June 10th – Fri , July 5th, M/W/F at 4:45 pm. Minimum of 3 students, maximum of 5. $490 for 12 sessions (normally $840 for a 1-on-1 rate), due June 3rd. No refunds for missed sessions. Sessions will be over Zoom for convenience so you can attend even if you’re travelling.

This class is designed for incoming Integrated 3 Advanced OR incoming Precalculus students. Every year like clockwork, I get inundated with new client requests when Int 3A students begin the Trigonometry Section in the Pre-Calculus textbook in January. I understand why…it’s HARD!   Let’s jump ahead of and prevent the frustration!  I’ve designed a course using the scope and sequence and the actual problems students will be encountering in the beginning of the second semester (if you attend CVHS).  This class concentrates on the Precalculus section of the course.  An ounce of prevention goes a loooong way to ensuring success throughout the year.  Plus, if your child can feel confident mastering the hardest part of the class ahead of time, the rest of the class should be smooth sailing.  You’ll also have access to worked out solutions for most of the material in the second semester.  This is a fast-paced course, so your child should have earned a minimum of a B in Int 2. This is our fifth year teaching this course and all our former students have done extremely well after taking this course.  Taught by math whiz and all around great guy Patrick who has been on staff for many years. There is 1/2 hour to 1 hour of homework after each class. 

Calculus AB Preview: Mon, June 10th – Fri , July 5th, M/W/F at 6:00 pm. Minimum of 3 students, maximum of 5. $490 for 12 sessions (normally $840 for a 1-on-1 rate), due June 3rd. No refunds for missed sessions. Sessions will be over Zoom for convenience so you can attend even if you’re travelling. If you can’t make a session, sessions can be recorded for viewing at a time of your convenience. Calculus can be intimidating but don’t let it be so!  Get a sneak preview so you can approach the highest level of math with confidence. Materials will be shared via Google Drive and will need to be printed out and put in a binder.

Our course teaches Calculus concepts in a structured, easy-to-understand, and replicable manner that segues seamlessly into AP Calculus AB. It is designed for students capable of working diligently to prepare for their future AP Calculus AB course. This is our fourth year teaching this course and all our former students perform excellently in Calculus AB. This course is great for front-loading work before the school year begins, so your child saves time in studying when the semester begins to succeed in not just Calculus, but all their classes! 

In this course, students will learn the notation, symbology, and steps to solve problems involving limits, derivatives and integrals. Calculus is the pinnacle of high school math, requiring an understanding of Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Pre-Calculus. While requiring an understanding of a wide breadth of concepts, Calculus demands a depth of understanding for a handful of core concepts that students greatly benefit from having early exposure to and prior familiarity with to succeed in their future Calculus class. 

This course is invaluable for high achieving students to invest their time this summer to get ahead in Calculus to start the school year off strong! This is a fast-paced course, so your child should have earned a minimum of a B in both semesters in Integrated 3, Pre-Calculus, or equivalent. This is not a fill-in-the-gaps course! There is 1/2 hour to 1 hour of homework after each class.
