Please help - tutor for first year Uni student in the ACT region?? Anyone????

[Cass72]

DS1 is struggling with calculus. He's in his first year of an engineering degree and came to calculus late in his studies due to us moving around and it not being taught at all schools (darn you Australian schooling system being different everywhere!!).

I was just wondering if there is anyone in the ACT region (or if you know anyone) who might be able to provide some tutoring to him? Of course I'm willing to pay for your time. I'm desperate to help my wonderful, amazing, 18yo who just sounds so down at the moment and I can't provide him the help he needs.


Mods - hope this is ok to post.

Google Kahn academy. There are some good lessons on there that might help.

He said it depends. Where are you? And what specifically does he need help with?
Dad essentially did the same thing for my cousin and ex - doing science degrees and weren't taught it in high school so he tutored them, but that was 10 years ago so he would need to do sone reading and refreshing himself. His other concern is him teaching it different to how they do in the system.

We are in Jerra. It's mainly calculus. He's doing two units, 1013 and 1014

MATH1013: Calculus - Limits, including infinite limits and limits at infinity. Continuity and global properties of continuous functions.Differentiation, including mean value theorem, chain rule, implicit differentiation, inverse functions, antiderivatives and basic ideas about differential equations. Transcendental functions: exponential and logarithmic functions and their connection with integration, growth and decay, hyperbolic functions. Local and absolute extrema, concavity and inflection points, Newton's method, Taylor polynomials, L'Hopital's rules. Riemann integration and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Techniques of integration including the method of substitution and integration by parts.
Linear Algebra - Complex numbers. Solution of linear system of equations. Matrix algebra including matrix inverses, partitioned matrices, linear transformations, matrix factorisation and subspaces. Determinants. Example applications including graphics, the Leontief Input-Output Model and various linear models in science and engineering. Emphasis is on understanding and on using algorithms.

MATH1014: Calculus - Integration and techniques of integration. Functions of several variables - visualisation, continuity, partial derivatives and directional derivatives. Linear Algebra - theory and application of Euclidean vector spaces. Vector spaces: linear independence, bases and dimension; eigenvalues and eigenvectors; orthogonality and least squares.

Sounds amazing.

I clearly don't speak calculus.

Unfortunately I don't know anyone who can help
