Private Tutoring on AP calculus AB Caledon
AP calculus AB Caledon is a challenging subject for a lot of students. One challenge is the foundation gaps that students have from previous grades, such as factoring or graphing, combining with the complex concepts that students need to understand. Many students are accustomed to "plugging-in" formulas or memorizing steps. This will never work in AP calculus AB Caledon. There are just too many variety of questions and students are required to work forward / backwards, combining different equations to solve a problem. The student also needs to understand when to use what, by recognizing clues on the question. This is always difficult for a lot of students.
The first step in our AP calculus AB Caledon tutoring, is to explain the concept. Students need to understand what limits and derivative is, as well as the rationale behind the steps. We also rigorously go through the problems step by step, showing the tips on recognizing certain parts of the question and what methods to use. With good exlanation and practice, student can advance and achieve good grades in both the AP calculus AB Caledon course and the exam.

AP calculus AB Tutoring Caledon
AP calculus AB Caledon is the starting point of calculus, which explores the fundamental concepts such as, limits, derivatives, application (word problems involving optimization) , integrals and simple differential equations. Students who has been learning math via memorizing steps and "plugging in" equations will find AP calculus AB Caledon very difficult. The first step is to understand the concepts and see how each piece related to another. For example, how does derivative of an equation relates to the graph? When you equate derivate to zero, what does it mean? How do you know if a function has an oblique asymptote?

The AP calculus AB Caledon Course
The AP calculus AB Caledon course is an entry level calculus course that covers key calculus concepts, including limits, derivatives, optimization problems, and differential equations. To score well on AP calculus AB course, the student needs to understand the concept and applying to various problems. Barely memorizing equations and "plugging-in" will not work. In addition, the student needs to review the foundation concepts before starting the course. This is critical as the first one or two steps of your test solution will be calculus, but simplifying, solving the problem, and the rest of the steps require prior foundation knowledge. In QE AP calculus AB tutoring Caledon, we start off with reviewing the pre-calculus foundation skills, which is critical to our student's success.

Tackling AP calculus AB Course Caledon
To score well in an AP calculus AB Caledon course, the student needs to first grasp the concept, especially to understand how one concept relates to another, and how the parts are connected. For example, a student will solve a derivative function f'(x) = 0. What does it mean on the graph? What if the function is not solvable, then what does the graph look like? How does this relate to domain and range of the function?
This understanding is essential to score well in AP Calulus AB Caledon course.
Therefore, in our AP calculus AB tutoring Caledon, our tutor will explain this concept and going over problem step by step. This is to facilitate understanding, not memorizing.
The second requirement on the student, is to have a profound understanding and practice on foundation skill. We have listed the foundation skill required for calclus AB. it is essential for the student to practice and excel this skill before starting the course. The first step or two of your calculus solution may relate to new concepts, but the rest of the steps, such as simplying an equation or graphing, is all depended on your foundation skill. If a student is lacking foundtion skill, then he / she will make mistake throughout the test / exam and ended up with a low grade.

AP calculus AB exam Caledon - Section 1:
Section 1 on AP Calclus exam are multiple choice, which are short answer problems that the student can solve quickly (and make the choice). These questions include algebraic problems as well as graphing problems. The student also need to solve conceptual problems. What does this mean? For instance, if a derivative of a graph is positive, then the student needs to point out whether the graph is increasing or decreasing. This demand the student to understand the general concept, in addition to calculations. We also have various strategies to tackle these types of problems.
QE tutor will provide important strategies to tackle multiple choice. And with practice, our student will excel in their understanding and achieve good score, as in our good track record.

AP calculus AB exam Caledon - Section 2:
Section 2 on AP calculus AB exam is a Free Response section, where the student needs to write out the full solution based on a short answer problem. These questions typically compose of multiple parts, where the student needs tos solve one part before proceeding to the next.
These questions involve calculations (with numbers), graphing, word problems and solution with explanations
The key to scoring well in AP calculus AB Free Response question, is to have an indepth understanding of the concept, and practice through a large variety of problems. One of the key challenges for a lot of students, is having trouble to know where to start. This means the student needs to observe the characteristics of the question and understand how to apply the concept. With QE tutoring, we run through the problems with the student step by step, explaining the rationale.

The key difference between Caculus AB and Calculus BC, beside the difficulty, is the topics being covered. Calculus AB includes topics such as derivatives, limits, integrals and the fundamental theorem of claculus.
Calculus BC expand these topic further to include polar functions, Taylor series, vector calculus and others. In this way, it extends to more advanced topics and require better techniques to score well.

It's better to have a strong foundation first, with Calculus AB, then proceed into Calculus BC in your senior year. It's important to set yourself up for success, rather than overloading yourself with a lot of difficult courses and perform in a weak manner.
If you are planning to enter engineering, medical science and other advance science fields, then Calculus BC is definitely a choice, as it will prepare you to first year college. For some colleges, you can earn college level credit in advanced, if you score well on your AP exams. This will definitely give you a strong headstart.
