The last time I took a math class was in 2009-2010.
In high school, I took AP calculus, and I had no clue what I was doing. Anyway, I took the AP test and managed to pull a three, just enough to be accepted to the college where I applied.
Returning To School
As I entered college, I thought of going into medicine, but I ended up entering a Catholic seminary. I’ve been there for ten years and recently decided it’s not the right path for me.
I had been considering medical school again, but I’ve decided to pursue nursing instead.
In order to get on the trajectory that I wanted, I had to take calculus one. So I knew I’d need to review all the material that’d been forgotten over the years.
I just found Calcworkshop while browsing the internet. I had previously purchased algebra for dummies and calculus for dummies just for review purposes. But that wasn’t very helpful.
Having seen some of the sample videos Jenn made, I could see how each step was done for each example problem. That made it easier to understand what I was doing.
Reading through the testimonials gave me confidence that it was the right fit for me.
What I liked was it was basically a dollar for five hours worth of tutoring each day. So you can’t beat that price at all. I was very excited.
The Plan
The two things that I was looking for most were the systematic approach from algebra to calculus and then having a reasonable price.
My goal was to review algebra all the way through pre-calc to calculus. Jenn has a very engaging personality, so she made things easy for me. Besides making things fun and interesting, she also gives you plenty of practice problems, which I also wanted and needed so I could actually understand what was going on.
As I recall, I needed a score of 72 to place, so I got ten over. So that was great!
She is thorough and super knowledgeable. With every explanation she gives, you will actually understand what you’re doing, which is amazing because then you actually enjoy what you’re doing.
I know this is probably the best money I have ever spent on anything in recent years.
The way Jenn works through every single problem, every single concept in detail, just blows me away.
