Online Precalculus Tutoring

Precalculus (sometimes called “Math Analysis” or just “trigonometry” at some schools) consists of advanced concepts in algebra and trigonometry in order to prepare students for taking calculus and other college-level math courses. The class may be offered as an “honors-level” course. Students generally take precalculus during junior year, which is the most challenging and busy academic year in high school. That same year, students will also take a variety of AP exams, take the SAT or ACT once or twice, take a few SAT II Subject Tests, and begin preparing for the college application process.

Because of the quantum leap in difficulty, and how busy junior year is, many students hire tutors for precalculus. At TutorNerd, we only hire precalculus tutors who are highly knowledgeable, super friendly, and great at teaching—they’re simply the best online tutors! Our tutors provide expert math tutoring for K-12 students—all at the convenience of your computer.

1-on-1 Online Tutoring with TutorNerd

TutorNerd provides one-on-one precalc tutoring for students using our convenient online lesson space. First, you’ll be individually matched with the ideal tutor from our team of experts. And from there, your tutor will help you with everything for your precalc class—including homework, tests, projects, and beyond. This is private tutoring (in real-time) just like having an in-person session—but it occurs remotely!

Our online lesson space is easy to use and requires NO extra software. All the tools and features you need are built in: a virtual whiteboard, a text editor, a code editor, screen sharing, file sharing, and more. Think of it like using Skype, Zoom, or Google Hangouts—but with a bunch of extra learning tools. Both you and your tutor can use the tools simultaneously in real time, so it’s just like you were sitting together at a desk! Successful students should always work with experts—but that doesn’t mean tutoring shouldn’t be quick and convenient. TutorNerd online tutoring makes it happen.

“For me, learning is one of the most satisfying experiences you can have, and being a part of someone else's "eureka!" moment is a close second. One thing that draws me to tutoring is the idea that every individual learns in a different way. I enjoy trying to tailor my lessons to my students, so that they can see the most progress in their studies. Learning is a skill we need all throughout life, so knowing how to do it efficiently will prove immensely beneficial. ”

“From my own education, I have noticed that sincerity has been the distinction between a great and poor teacher. I have a strong passion for the the sciences. I love tutoring because I can help students gain a similar appreciation once they understand the material better. And I find that with every session, I, myself, also gain a deeper understanding of science through teaching it.”

“Tutoring is perhaps one of the most enriching and stimulating professions out there, especially for a college student like me. I have worked with so many amazing students over the years, and have developed personal relationships with many students and families in my community. Not only have I helped these students achieve academic and personal success, but I have also benefited from their acquaintance in more ways than I can count. ”

“I became an educator because I love to teach. I think one of the most important things I can do is to show students how much bigger and more interesting the world is than what they've already experienced, and teaching history and English provides a way to do that. I am passionate about tutoring because, when I can work with students in a one on one context, it is easier for them to interact with the material, ask questions, take the necessary time to think through the difficult concepts, and ultimately learn than it is for them to do those things in a crowded classroom. When I can see students make progress and enjoy learning, it makes me more excited to work with them.”

“We can't all be great at everything and that's frustrating. Even among high achievers, it's hard to admit that a challenging subject doesn't come as easy as others. These looming roadblocks tend to become the subjects students "hate" - an unfortunate and avoidable fate if the dread is faced and eased. Too many times writing and English are labeled as hated subjects because they're over-thought and allowed to turn into giants that haunt students. So many of the students I tutor already know what they want to say, but simply need the right kind of help, and the right tools, to move them past their fear. The confidence they gain when they realize what they're capable of communicating through writing is incredible! (And, I truly love hearing back from clients, excited to share with me that they got into the college, grad program, or job to which I helped them apply!)”

“I am passionate about tutoring because I enjoy being part of the education journey with the student. I see my duty as showing the student how to understand and solve problems. I do not give the answers to the student because there are always new concepts and subjects to learn. The important part of tutoring is to guide the student to think in a step-by-step process to come to an understanding and solution of the subject. When the student shows they want to learn and puts in the effort to come to an understanding and mastery of the subject; it is a win-win situation for both the student and me, as the tutor.”
