Pre Calculus Lessons.
Amazing Teachers.

us significantly reduces the workload required for solving equations. 

Because precalculus can be a tricky subject to master, students often turn to a precalculus tutor for additional help. Sometimes students just need a little extra instruction on a formula. Or perhaps they’re struggling to perform well on their pre-cal exams. Whatever the case, a pre-cal tutor can get you where you want to go in your studies.

The challenge of precalculus and creating a solid foundation for advanced mathematical study provides all the more reason to learn precalculus with the aid of a private precalculus tutor. At TakeLessons, we feature a wide range of professional and experienced precalculus tutors who are here to help you ace this subject.

Why Seek Professional Pre Calculus Help?

Math is a cumulative subject, meaning understanding everything you learn is essential to understanding future topics in mathematics. If you miss early topics, then you'll have a difficult time comprehending what you learn later in math. If you find yourself or your child struggling with mathematics, it's essential to get extra help — outside of the classroom — as soon as possible to prevent cumulative confusion. 

Difficulty with precalculus might be due to a lack of thorough learning in earlier, prerequisite courses, such as algebra, or it could point to more recent challenges in grasping precalculus topics. Regardless of the reason, no student should get behind in their studies, and that’s where a pre-cal tutor can help. A professional tutor will work with you or your child to determine the student's individual strengths and weaknesses in the subject to ensure an effective course of action for tutoring. 

The Best Way to Learn Pre-Calculus and What You'll Study in Classes

Although you can find lots of free precalculus lessons and tutorials online, the best way to get pre-calculus help is from a private pre-calculus teacher. In private lessons, you'll receive your teacher's undivided attention and the sort of personalized instruction that simply can't be found in a textbook or larger class setting. With immediate feedback, you'll overcome personal challenges and improve quickly, while focusing on the precalculus topics that challenge you most. 

Our precalculus tutors are patient and attentive. Because you’re receiving one-on-one instruction, you can ask as many questions as you like and practice as long as you need. There is no rush when it comes to learning and understanding this tricky subject. Your tutor will help you break down formulas and math problems until they make sense to you. They are encouraging and will remain with you every step of the way.

Plus, every private lesson is different. Teachers customize every private course keeping in mind the student's goals, existing knowledge, and comprehension, and preferred learning styles. For example, pre-calculus classes for adults in college differ from pre-calculus lessons for children in high school, in terms of course content and teaching methods. Our pre-cal tutors are experts at assessing your skills and getting you where you need to be. No matter your age or abilities, you'll stay motivated and interested while learning at a pace that's comfortable for you. 

Sample Curriculum for Beginner Pre Calculus

If you're learning the basics of precalculus, then beginner lessons are right for you. Beginner precalculus students should already have a strong foundation in algebra. In these lessons, your pre-calculus tutor will introduce you to the basics of this mathematical subject. Depending on the areas with which you need the most help, your teacher might cover the following topics:

• Real numbers and sets
• Algebraic and fractional expressions
• Equations, formulas, modeling with equations, and inequalities
• Coordinate geometry and graphic solutions

Sample Curriculum for Intermediate Pre-Calculus

When you're comfortable with the basics of precalculus, then you'll move onto studying intermediate topics in preparation for advanced precalculus. Your teacher might choose to cover the following:

• Lines, functions, applied functions, and modeling
• Polynomial functions and graphs
• Complex numbers
• Rational vs. exponential functions

Sample Curriculum for Advanced Pre-Calculus

Once you're comfortable with intermediate topics in precalculus, you'll move into advanced topics, which set the stage for the study of calculus. These topics take you to the limit (pun intended) of what mathematics can do without calculus. Topics covered depend on the student's interests, syllabus, and goals, but your teacher might cover the following: 

• Logarithmic functions, equations, and the laws of logarithms
• Trigonometric functions of real numbers
• Trigonometric functions of angles
• Analytic trigonometry and geometry
