Anyone looking to make GOOD money via skype tutoring me?

*Not sure if this is against forum rules, but it is not a scam*

So here we are, about 2 weeks to the AP exams so I would like some 1 on 1 help. I have many review books but having someone talk everything through with me via skype would just be awesome!

I am taking the BC exam with AB subscore and basically My goal is to get a 5 on the AB and like a 3 on the BC. I really care most about the AB because I just want to make sure I am able-enough and skilled at Calc 1 so I can take Calc 2 next year at college. The only reason I did BC is because I wanted to challenge myself, i'm not looking to credit out of calc 2 or anything.

So I am in the eastern timezone and can adjust accordingly to pretty much any timezone. I'm looking for someone who can say with confidence that they will score near perfectly on the exams but is also someone who can teach and explain things. For example my friend, who just got into MIT and is currently self studying calc 3 and differential equations, tried helping me out but it didn't work. He was just too smart to help me and everything naturally makes sense him. It would probably be like one of us trying to teach algebra to a middle-schooler; we just know how to do it and don't really think anything of it.

I am 18 years old and would like someone closer to my age who is also a student to help me but if you are older than me still feel free to message. Gender or nationality doesn't matter to me as long as you know it, can explain it, and I can understand you. If you have taken the AP exam in the past few years that works for me too.

PM me and we can get into the details about pricing, times, etc. I would say I've covered about 2/3 the bc topics so your job would probably be a little explaining and giving examples. I'm guessing It would be a couple of 2ish hour sessions so like 8 or 10 hours in total. I use paypal so we can go through that and I can pay you lesson by lesson or at the end whatever works for you.

This is your chance to make some FAST cash, no taxes, no surprises. For some reason I don't always get private messages on my email from CC so it's best to directly email me at:

rcs1113@ (google mail) com

Thanks again and please contact me ASAP!

I did find khan to very helpful in understanding the basics but I felt like it was harder to apply the basic skills I learned from it to harder problems. Maybe I don't know how to use khan the right way?

But I will take an in depth look at problems that seem to always give me trouble and I'll post one in here or another thread later tonight. It's more of just me looking for a crash course in calc BC

Honestly, you'd be wasting your money. Have you tried studying with your friends? Sometimes, a problem makes sense after you discuss it with a few people.

Also, feel free to post whatever questions you have here. Many of us have either already taken or are currently taking calculus and don't mind helping you out for free. It's good review for us, too.

Wow I'd be glad to help for free but unfortunately I don't know any of the BC topics as I'm only taking Calc AB this year.

thanks for the links guys, these are really helpful. Fortunately enough someone on here connected with me and taught me almost all there is to know about series in 3 hours, feeling a lot better about this ap test!
