Our Specialty: Calculus By and For Young People (a.k.a Math for the Constantly Curious Kid)
We have a great deal of respect for the ability of young people to learn challenging subjects. We enjoy teaching Calculus By and For Young People to kids while they're at their highest level of curiosity and willingness to learn. They have refreshing insights and make exciting discoveries while doing lots of arithmetic with integers, fractions, and decimals. As they visualize math, look for patterns, and learn multiple ways to solve problems and write numbers, they will gain confidence and enjoy a deep sense of accomplishment.
Our only expectation is that your child be able to count. It's also an excellent addition to home school curriculum. Contact us to get started! PHONE: 816.560.8098 EMAIL

What is it like for a "D" math student to learn calculus?
