Rated 4.8 by students.

Studying Applied and Computational Mathematics at Caltech, Samuel lives in the world of calculus daily — limits, derivatives, integrals, and the Fundamental Theorem aren't abstract ideas to him but tools he actively uses. He breaks down AP Calculus AB concepts like related rates and Riemann sums by connecting them to the intuition behind why each technique works, not just the mechanical steps.

The jump from memorizing derivative rules to applying them — related rates, optimization, the Fundamental Theorem — is where most AP Calc AB students stall.

That conceptual grounding makes free-response questions far less intimidating.

An economics degree means Michael spent semesters using derivatives to analyze marginal cost curves and integrals to compute consumer surplus — the exact same calculus toolkit the AB exam tests, just dressed in different language. He's especially sharp at teaching students how to read a rate-of-change problem and translate it into the correct integral setup, which is where most points are lost on the free-response section. Rated 5.0 by students.

The jump from "find the derivative" to "explain what the derivative means in context" is where most AP Calculus AB students lose points on the free response.
