My comments on tutoring Calculus II : Expert at all Calculus II concepts. Particularly good at breaking down the complex concepts and making them easy, including Riemann sums and trapezoidal sums to calculate the area under the curve, The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, integration rules for all functions for all functions using indefinite integrals, evaluating definite integrals, volumes generated by spinning a function over an interval about the x-axis or y-axis using the disc, washer, and/or shell methods, applications of the definite integral, indeterminate forms and L'Hôpital's Rule, improper integrals, mathematical modeling with differential equations, sequences, infinite series, convergence or divergence of a series, and other concepts.
If you watch me closely during our sessions, you can see me secretly paying keen attention to you and how you learn best. For example, you might say, "It LOOKS like they want me to factor here." And I'll think, "Aha! LOOKS. Maybe you're a visual learner and like to SEE things explained and SEE examples. (About 80% of students are visual learners.) On the other hand, you might say, "It sounds like they want me to factor here." And I'll think, "Aha! sounds. Maybe you like to HEAR things explained, and you're a keen listener and like to hear things described clearly and specifically. Or maybe you'll say, "I FEEL like they want me to factor here" (as you tap the problem with your pencil). And I'll think, "Aha! FEEL. Maybe you learn by intuition and need to just jump in and work a problem or two with me step-by-step and discover the pattern of what's going on and pick up the FEEL of it. So... ... read more
