Our calculus group tutoring course focuses on applying the material learnt in the Calculus and Vectors course found at the grade 12 level in Ontario, Canada, MCV4U. We focus on differential calculus in this group tutoring courses. We start with the idea of a limit of a function; the definition of the derivative of a function and then go into the rules of differentiation. We present the idea of higher order derivatives in this course. As a result, we provide exercises and examples for a variety of functions found in the Functions and Advanced Functions courses. Applications of derivatives are presented including curve sketching. Our group tutoring courses are by no means a substitute for the actual curriculum courses. Our aim for this group tutoring course is to help the students work through solved exercises, problems and eventually be able to perform on assignments, quizzes, tests and exams more confidently.
