My main approach to trigonometry is to build up a foundation of important facts like the unit circle and then hone in on strategies in problem solving. Practice will be key in developing these skills, so I try to prepare my students to use their homework time effectively. (read more)
...If they need worksheets to drill certain problems, I’ll bring worksheets. If they need a lesson planned, I’ll plan the lesson. Avoid sending over problems in advance. (read more)

I probably help students in this course more than any othe... (read more)
...In addition to assisting students with algebraic components of pre-calc, I can assist with trigonometry, analytic geometry, and function/graphing topics. I enjoy assisting students with this important bridge to Calculus and other college-level classes. I am a long-time teacher of the proof and logic course at our university. (read more)
