Description

Is business calculus taking over your life? Join other 500+ students and pass business calculus with flying colors!

So...

  • Are you a business student frustrated by business calculus, finding it too hard, fast-paced and/or abstract?

  • Is learning business calculus as much (or even less) fun than watching paint dry?

  • Does your professor have you finding derivatives, when you can't even remember how to divide fractions?

If you answered yes to any of the questions above, boy do I have something good for you!


Who The F*!& Are You?

Hi, my name is Luis, and I have been tutoring calculus for business (also known as MAC2233 or MAC 2233 in some universities) for the past 8 years. I understand 100% how frustrating, difficult and painful this class is to a lot of business students.

Students’ hatred for business calculus is well-documented. We tutors of course agree it is difficult. But its difficulty is largely because the explanations provided by typical textbooks/professors are completely horrible. They are unclear, ambiguous and too long.


This Course

For these reasons, I created the essential business calculus course, specifically designed for business students. This course avoids the complexity and boringness of your college textbook/professor to explain concepts and problems clearly. Instead, in this course, you will find the following:

  • Clear and to-the-point explanations of all the important concepts in business calculus

  • Practice problems for every concept explained, which are done step-by-step with a voiceover so you know exactly what's going on

  • Practice exercises for you to solve after learning a new concepts

  • Dozens of mental tricks (mnemonics) I have developed over the years to easily remember definitions and complex rules 

  • A summary of the most important concepts for each section for you to easily review

Take my course, and business calculus will finally start making sense for you. Trust me, there will be a lot of "oohs" and "ahhs" in this course :-)



Who This Course is For

If you are a business student and you are struggling through business calculus, this course was made for you!


Mnemonics

I have developed several "mnemonics" (mental tricks used to remember things easily), which will make even the hardest concepts in the class fun and easy to remember. For example you might be wondering...

- What does a famous Canadian catchphrase have to do with logarithms?

- How in the world are the chain rule and an "ugly Xbox" related?

- Can thinking about a driver's license help you solve a continuity problem?

These and many more associations will have you remembering calculus concepts in a breeze. They are especially useful, as all of us sometimes happen to blank out when we have a question in front of us.


What the Course Covers

The course covers the main topics given in a typical business calculus class. You are pretty much guaranteed to see most, if not all of the topics below as you go through your semester.

  • Functions and Graphing

  • Limits and Continuity

  • Derivatives

  • Differentiation Rules

  • Applications of Derivatives

  • Exponential & Logarithmic Functions

  • Integrals

Of course, I am always adding new tutorials to this course. If you don't see your topic listed here, send me a private message and I will help in any way I can.


My Promise

As I explain in the course itself, business calculus is not easy. Especially for business students, who wonder why they have to take this class all the time. My course removes the frustration out of business calculus and makes things clear.

What my course does is present business calculus concepts in a structured manner and in a way that is easy to understand. By going over the course, and complementing that with going to class and doing your homework, I can assure you you will crush this class.


Shall We?

Are you ready to conquer business calculus? 

As the wise Shia LaBeouf said once, "JUST DO IT!"


P.S. If you don't like the course, you can ask for a refund within 30 days. No questions asked! So there's absolutely no risk for you. Give the course a try and see why more than 500 students have crushed business calculus with this course.

Hey there!

My name is Luis, and I'm a software engineer with 6+ years of experience, entrepreneur and online instructor.

I love teaching and helping other developers get more interviews with companies they love by sharing tips and tricks I've learned after hundreds of job applications and endless hours of research.

I'm obsessed with helping others getting the success they want in software engineering and I'd love to help you get where you want to be.

Look forward to seeing you in one of my courses.

Sincerely,

Luis
