<p>We learned two things today: First, my son was accepted to UCLA. Second, we received his interim progress report for his last semester of his senior year showing an "F" for AP Calculus. </p>
<p>We, desparately, need the best advice for a book/online tutoring/interactive program or tutor in the Bay Area to help him get this fixed. UCLA, like (we think) most UC's, only offer "provisional" admittance, and if you have a D on your final transcript, the offer of admission can (and likely will) be revoked. </p>
<p>In addition, his application for admission to the US Naval academy is still pending, and USNA requires a full year (minimum) of calculus at the Academy. So if he should receive an offer of an appointment, tanking AP calculus may well tank that (preferred) avenue as well.</p>
<p>He'll put in the work, but we have no time to flail around figuring out what is the best source of help (and our son's parents--that is, us) have zero ability on our own to evaluate calculus help (other than finding out after the fact that it did or didn't work). </p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Which level of calculus (AB or BC) is this? And where in the Bay area are you looking for tutors?</p>

<p>I was also loaned the Princeton Review book by my school, and I found it very helpful.</p>
<p>Looking in the East Bay, but will be flexible</p>
<p>Also, it’s AB calculus.</p>
<p>Well I was also accepted to UCLA and I live in Walnut Creek. I took AB last year as a junior and got 2 A’s and a 5 on the AP test. This year I’m taking BC, so I would say I have a solid understanding of the AB material since the topics (volumes/differential equations/related rates) all repeat. Please contact me if you’re interested in my tutoring services.</p>
<p>I came to UCLA with 0 calculus experience. I was thrown into it first quarter, freshman year. I seriously learned EVERYTHING via youtube. Seriously, search for random calculus topics (there is a guy there his youtube screenname is patrickjmt and he is really good. I believe he also has a website with even more videos.</p>
<p>You might want to give the Bay Area Tutoring Center a call. They have centers in both Berkeley and San Ramon. Their director is an excellent math/science tutor, himself. As a teacher, I’ve referred many students there.</p>
<p>Best of luck to you and your son.</p>
