What's Included

A complete precalc kit, not just videos.

Most online math courses give you a screencast and call it a day. This one ships everything you'd get in a real classroom.

Video lectures

36 sessions, ~10 min each. Concept explanations paired with custom Manim animations that show the math in motion.

Handout notes

Follow-along PDFs structured exactly like the video. Print them, write on them, refer back to them.

Worksheets + answers

Practice problems for every session with full answer keys. Self-check and learn from mistakes.

Quick checks

Short 5–10 minute quizzes after each session to confirm you've got the concept down before moving on.

Formula cards

A printable formula card per chapter — everything you need on one page, ready for the night before a test.

Chapter tests

Full-length chapter tests with answer keys plus extra practice problems for deeper review.

TI-84 Primer

Bonus 3-session calculator walkthrough. From “I just unboxed it” to “I can use this on a test.”

Glossary

Plain-English definitions for every technical term, organized by chapter for quick lookup.

Common mistakes

A reference of the most common errors students make per chapter — so you don't make them.

Curriculum

11 chapters. 36 sessions. One clear path.

Built to mirror a full year of Honors Precalculus. Skip what you know, dig into what's hard.

FAQ

Common questions.

Who is this course for?

Rising 9th graders heading into Honors Precalculus, current Honors Precalc students who want a stronger foundation, or homeschoolers needing a structured precalc curriculum. The pace assumes Algebra 1 and basic geometry.

How is this different from Khan Academy or YouTube tutorials?

Both are mostly video — and Khan especially is a great free supplement. What they don't ship is the rest of a course: worksheets with full answer keys, end-of-chapter tests, quick-check quizzes, a printable formula card per chapter, a chapter-organized glossary, and a common-mistakes reference. If you've watched a free math video and then thought “OK but where do I practice this?” — that's the gap this fills. The videos here also use custom Manim animations instead of whiteboard screencasts.

How long do I have access?

12 months from the day you purchase. That covers the full school year plus summer review on either side.

How long does the course take?

Around 30–40 hours total if you watch all videos and work through the worksheets. At 1 session per day, that's about 5–6 weeks. Self-paced — go faster or slower.

Do I need a TI-84 calculator?

Recommended but not required. The TI-84 Primer (3 free sessions) gets you up to speed if you have one.

Is there live support or a teacher?

No — this is a self-paced video course. The tradeoff: it costs $29 instead of $1,000+ for tutoring. Worksheets have full answer keys so you can self-check.

Can I get a refund?

Yes — full refund within 3 days of purchase, no questions asked. Chapter 1 is on YouTube as a free preview, so you can verify the teaching style before paying.
