Trigonometry is one of my top subjects! Many students are frightened of trigonometry and think it to be beyond their power to comprehend its 'esoteric concepts'. In reality, every idea from Trigonometry that one would need to excel in subjects ranging from Precalculus to Linear Algebra and beyond can be thoroughly learned in the span of 8-12 one-hour lessons. As long as the student is willing to make the commitment to understand rather than memorize concepts, basic Trigonometry will start feeling like the breeze very soon!
My teaching plan is as follows:
(-1) 20 problem multiple-choice diagnostic test to give price estimate.
(0) Evoke curiosity and excitement. [30 minutes free of charge]
(1) Degree and Radian measure [2 hr lecture]
(2) Basic trigonometry on the unit circle [2 hr lecture]
(3) Sum and difference formulas for sin & cos [2 hr lecture]
(4) Inverse trig functions [2 hr lecture]
As a college instructor, I make the effort to excite my students into learning the mathematics. Being excited about trigonometry is easy once you see how much you can do with it. Be sure to check the animations in my "resources" folder. All of them made heavy use of trigonometry.
I hold a PhD in mathematics and it is my passion to make the subjects in which I specialize vivid and understandable. I have been a mathematics instructor at Hunter College for the past 5 years. So far, the list of courses that I taught is as follows: (1) Precalculus, (2) Calculus I, (3) Calculus II, (4) Calculus III, (5) Calculus based probability theory, (6) Real Analysis I, (7) Real Analysis II. In the process of teaching, I developed copious lecture notes, exams, animations, and other material to help my students master difficult concepts. Over 40 student reviews of my lectures are easily found online and many more may be provided upon request.
I am particularly skilled at explaining following topics:
1) Basic Algebra/ Trigonometry/ Precalculus
2) Single Variable Calculus
3) Multivariate Calculus
4) Linear and Abstract Algebras
5) Real and Complex Analysis
6) An ... read more
