I am a classroom teacher who has spent the last ten years tutoring/educating students with a variety of learning needs. I specialize in figuring out what specific learning strategies work for different students. I can help you go from good to great as I have consistently scored in the 99th percentile for several graduate school tests.
Natalia
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +26 Subjects
I'm currently a college student studying engineering. A little about me: I was born in Spain, so I'm fluent in Spanish and I especially love all things math. In terms of experience, I feel like I have been tutoring all my life. I've been helping out my friends in school (and in college) since I can remember, and I was a math tutor through the math club at my high school for 2 years. I'm a patient, friendly person ready to help out fellow students!
Sally
Applied Mathematics Tutor • +64 Subjects
I am an undergraduate student at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I am majoring in both Mathematics and Literature, Media, & Communication (LMC). My LMC concentration is in Science, Technology, & Culture, as well as Literature. I have been tutoring since high school, and have gained a lot of experience with the ups and downs of learning. I initially started out tutoring math, but over time I have grown to love tutoring literature as well.
Matthew
AP Calculus BC Tutor • +104 Subjects
I am a Senior at Worcester Polytechnic Institute studying Mechanical and Robotics Engineering. I am here to help with any Math, Science, Engineering or other tutoring needs. My main approach is to focus on mastery over work pace. I encourage my students to strive for perfection on the basic material, before moving to the hard stuff. That way you won't only "kinda know" two things, but truly understand the material. Outside of class I enjoy, hiking, playing the saxophone, cooking and building robots.
Raphael
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +36 Subjects
I am a student at Cornell University, expecting to receive my Bachelor of Science in December 2020. I am studying biological sciences with a minor in applied economics, and plan to enter a career in medicine. However, I have a love for learning in all subjects. I have extensive experience as a math tutor both in high school and college, and am eager to help more students in math and science. As a tutor, I hope to be able to make my students appreciate the value of what they are learning and enjoy solving problems independently.

Frequently Asked Questions
The CLEP Calculus exam uses a scaled scoring system, and a score of 50 or above is typically considered a passing score that earns college credit. However, different colleges and universities may have different credit-granting policies—some require a score of 50, while others may require 60 or higher for credit. It's essential to check with your specific college about their CLEP credit requirements before taking the exam.
A solid study schedule typically spans 8-12 weeks, with 5-7 hours of focused study per week. Start by taking a diagnostic practice test to identify your weakest areas—whether that's limits, derivatives, integrals, or applications of calculus. Then dedicate more time to those topics before moving into comprehensive review and full-length practice tests. In the final 2-3 weeks, prioritize timed practice exams to build your pacing and test-taking confidence.
Students commonly struggle with limits and continuity, the derivative rules (especially the chain rule), and applying calculus concepts to real-world problems. Many test-takers also find curve sketching and optimization problems challenging because they require combining multiple concepts. Additionally, understanding the relationship between a function, its derivative, and its integral—rather than just memorizing formulas—trips up students who haven't internalized the 'why' behind calculus principles.
A tutor works with you to identify exactly where you're struggling—whether it's conceptual understanding, calculation errors, or time management—and builds a personalized study plan around those gaps. Tutors can explain difficult concepts like the chain rule or u-substitution in ways that click for your learning style, provide targeted practice on weak areas, and teach strategic test-taking approaches for pacing and eliminating wrong answers. Practice tests under timed conditions with a tutor also help reduce test anxiety and build confidence.
CLEP Calculus covers single-variable calculus (limits, derivatives, and integrals) and applications, similar to AP Calculus AB. However, CLEP is not a cumulative exam like AP, and the question format is multiple-choice only. This means your study strategy should emphasize understanding concepts deeply rather than showing step-by-step work, and you'll need strong practice with eliminating wrong answers quickly. If you're coming from an AP Calculus background, you may need less foundational review but should still practice CLEP-specific question formats.
Test anxiety often comes from uncertainty about what to expect or lack of practice with the actual format. Taking full-length, timed practice tests regularly trains your brain to work under pressure and builds confidence in your problem-solving speed. Developing a test strategy—like skipping difficult questions initially and returning to them later, or using quick estimation to eliminate obviously wrong answers—gives you a sense of control. A tutor can also teach you breathing and mindfulness techniques and help you identify whether time pressure is a pacing issue or a conceptual understanding issue.
Improvement depends on your starting point and effort level, but students often see 5-15 point score increases within 8-12 weeks of focused preparation with personalized guidance. If you're starting with significant gaps in foundational skills, progress may be slower at first as you build conceptual understanding. The biggest gains typically come from reducing careless errors, improving efficiency in solving problems, and strengthening weak topic areas—all areas where personalized instruction has proven most effective.
