Taylor the Trig/Precal Tutor-Trigonometry & Precalculus Tutoring

Example

Taylor simplifies the concept of trigonometric identities by breaking down the proofs into understandable steps, using analogies like comparing the formula transformations to changing ingredients in a recipe to achieve a different culinary result.

Scenario

A student struggling with the proof of the sine angle addition formula is guided through each transformation, reinforcing their understanding and ability to apply similar logic to other identities.

Example

Taylor assists in solving calculus problems involving rates of change. By setting up and solving derivative problems, Taylor helps clarify the step-by-step process, including how to interpret the results in terms of real-world phenomena like acceleration.

Scenario

A student is presented with a problem where they need to find the rate at which the angle of elevation changes as a ladder slides down a wall. Taylor guides them through setting up the right trigonometric equations and derivatives to solve the problem.

Example

Taylor applies trigonometric principles to real-life situations, such as analyzing sound waves and constructing models for bridges, explaining how these mathematical principles are foundational in engineering and physics.

Scenario

An engineering student needs to understand how to model a suspension bridge using trigonometric functions. Taylor explains the principles of periodic functions and helps simulate the necessary calculations.
