Student Testimonials:

"Thank you very much Vincent. I really enjoyed this course and will be moving on to further maths classes. Your teaching style is excellent and I admire your enthusiasm for the topic. I always struggled to understand the meaning of calculus in school and I believe the meaning is more important than the technical application. Your lectures have filled in all the holes school created." — Richard G.

"What a perfect way to recap old material. I love the way you appeal to intuition and then explain it in maths terms. Outstanding!" — Jonathan T.

“I can't stop loving your teachings methods! Thank you guys for everything, you all really did help me a lot, and please cross your fingers for me to have a successful final exam and get into my dream university. Thanks a lot!” — Orsolya K.

“This course taught me Pre-Calculus in a week! I skipped Pre-Calc and am now enrolled in Calculus at school, thanks to this the training I received in THIS course over the summer.” — Arthur B.
