“I couldn't have done it without all your patient explanations and support…”
YOUR TUTOR. YOUR COURSE CREATOR.
Hi, I’m Mr. Volak.
I failed my first calculus test. Calculus began to click when I could see what a derivative or an integral actually meant. I kept studying and went on to pass actuarial exams.
That experience shaped how I teach. I now work directly with AP Calculus AB and BC students, and I created the animated explanations and interactive simulations in the self-paced course included with tutoring. We make difficult ideas visible, work through problems together, and build understanding through focused practice.
ONE-TO-ONE TUTORING STORIES
Hear from students
I've tutored.
Lizzie, Hannah, and Bella share their experiences learning calculus with me.
SUPPORT THAT CONNECTS THE DOTS
A lesson is the start.
Practice makes it stick.
Start where they're stuck.
Bring a difficult topic or a recent problem. We work out what needs attention, including the foundations behind it.
Work through it together.
Your student learns directly with me, asks questions, and works through problems during the online lesson.
Keep building between lessons.
Tutoring includes self-paced course access, animated explanations, simulations, and targeted practice for the topics we work on together.
SUPPORT THAT FITS YOUR STUDENT
Discuss the right option.
If your first completed private tutoring lesson isn’t a good fit, email volak@mrvolak.com within 48 hours after the lesson and I’ll refund the lesson fee in full. Applies once per new student, to the first completed private lesson. Booking, cancellation, and rescheduling terms are provided before payment.
BEFORE YOU GET STARTED
A few practical answers.
Who are the lessons for?
This page is for families looking for AP Calculus AB or BC support. Students can also inquire directly. Taking another calculus course? Select “Other calculus course” and tell me what you're studying so I can confirm whether I can help.
How do pricing and booking work?
You can book a 60-minute lesson for US$70 directly. To discuss ongoing support or flexible options, tell me what support you need and, optionally, your budget. I’ll reply with the lesson length, price, included course access, and booking terms. Once we agree, I’ll send your booking and payment link. Sending an inquiry is free and does not book a lesson.
How does the first-lesson guarantee work?
If your first completed private lesson isn’t a good fit, email me within 48 hours after the lesson for a full refund of that lesson fee. The guarantee applies once per new student. It covers satisfaction with the first lesson; it does not promise a particular grade or exam score.
Is weekly group Q&A available now?
I’m collecting interest separately for AP Calculus AB and BC. Price, schedule, and group size will be confirmed before any booking. Choose group Q&A on the form if you’d like me to contact you with the details. You do not have to commit or pay to register interest.
Can we start if my student is already struggling?
Tell me which topics or assignments are causing trouble. That gives us a starting point for our first lesson and helps us identify the skills to work on next.
Do we need to take an assessment first?
No. You can send an inquiry without completing a readiness quiz or creating an account. A recent problem or a topic your student finds difficult is a useful starting point.
What times are available?
Availability is arranged by email. You can include your time zone and preferred days in the optional message, and I'll confirm which times work.
LET'S FIND THE NEXT STEP
