“Limits get evaluated by substitution and then abandoned when that fails.”
Limits and continuity
What a limit claims, why it is not the value at the point, and the three ways a function stops being continuous.

Lowest rate anyone charges
Two ideas — the rate of change and the area under a curve — and a year of notation that hides how few they are. Most students who struggle understand the ideas and lose the algebra.

What you’ll work on
Five things people say before they book.
One of them is usually the reason. The topic underneath is what a tutor would put the first month into.
/02
“The chain rule works alone and disappears inside a quotient.”
Derivatives by rule
Product, quotient and chain, drilled until the chain rule stops being the one that gets forgotten inside the other two.
/03
“The calculus is right and the equation set up at the start was wrong.”
Applying derivatives
Optimisation, related rates and curve sketching — the questions that are really algebra and reading comprehension in a calculus costume.
/04
“Plus C goes missing on about a third of the answers.”
Integration
Antiderivatives, substitution, and the fundamental theorem read as the sentence it actually is rather than as a formula.
/05
“The integral is computed perfectly between the wrong two bounds.”
Applications of the integral
Area, volume and accumulation, with the setup — which strip, which axis — treated as the hard part, because it is.
None of them quite it?
Bring the syllabus, the textbook or the last score report to a first lesson. Every Calculus tutor here plans against what you actually have, not against a standard course.
How a first lesson is runWho teaches it
Calculus, taught by 3 of these 197.
In whichever order you find useful. Thirty minutes with any of them is free, so meeting two before you choose costs nothing but the evening.
What it costs
Priced by level, not by subject.
Tutors set their own rate and Saal adds nothing on top of it. These are the bands they set it inside, the same in every subject, and the lowest anyone charges to teach Calculus is $38/hr.
Move or cancel any lesson up to twelve hours ahead at no charge, and the card is charged the morning after a lesson happens. Packages and refunds.
Your first thirty minutes
Thirty free minutes, and this is what they are for.
01
Differentiate one ugly function
A quotient with a chain inside it. It takes two minutes and it separates a notation problem from a concept one.
The terms, in full
- Free
- 30 minutes
- No card asked for
02
Set up a word problem
Only the setup, not the calculus. This is where most lost points actually live.
It will be one of these five
- Limits and continuity
- Derivatives by rule
- Applying derivatives
- Integration
- Applications of the integral
