AP Calculus AB & BC
AP Calculus Tutoring in NYC
Calculus is hard. But a surprising amount of the time, the limiting factor is not the concepts; students who reach AP Calculus are smart. Instead, imperfect absorption of earlier material is the silent killer that prevents accurate application of the concepts.
My first hour identifies what issues are holding your student back the most, saving you time and money.

Where AP students miss points the most
Algebra in a costume
The derivative rules are fine. The error happens two lines later, simplifying the fraction. Most tutoring re-teaches the calculus; the fix was in Algebra 2.
Wrong course, not wrong kid
Some BC struggles are AB students placed one course too high. When that's the finding, I say so — that's a counselor conversation, not a tutoring contract.
Right answer, zero points
FRQs grade the justification, not the arithmetic. "Since the derivative changes sign here..." is a graded sentence, and almost nobody teaches it as one.
