Calculus & Analysis tutoring
From differentiation and integration to ε-δ and Taylor. For science and econometrics students who need to follow a proof, and for Economics or Life Sciences students who mainly need to calculate. I adapt to your course.
Differentiation
From beginner to advanced
- Calculating derivatives
- Chain rule & product rule
- Partial derivatives
- Applied examples
Integration
From beginner to advanced
- Definite & indefinite integrals
- Substitution & integration by parts
- Applied integrals
- Real-world examples
Analysis and several variables
For Mathematics and Econometrics
- ε-δ: limits and continuity
- Sequences and series, convergence tests
- Taylor polynomials and remainder
- Multivariable: gradient, Jacobian, multiple integrals
- Optimisation with Lagrange multipliers

FAQ - Calculus
What is calculus and why does it matter?
Calculus is the mathematics of change and motion. It is essential for life sciences (population growth, drug concentrations) and economics (marginal costs, optimisation).
How long does it take to get to grips with calculus?
With my 1-on-1 tutoring, students typically see significant improvement within 4–6 sessions. It depends on your prior knowledge and how much time you put in.
Which calculus topics do you cover?
I cover differentiation (derivatives, chain rule), integration (definite/indefinite integrals, substitution) and applied calculus for your field.
Is calculus tutoring suitable for complete beginners?
Yes, I always start at your level. Whether you want to start from scratch or practise specific topics — I adapt to you.
Which courses?
- UvA BSc Mathematics, e.g. Analysis and Calculus in the first year
- UvA BSc Econometrics & Data Science, e.g. Mathematics I/II
- UvA BSc Actuarial Science, e.g. a maths course with several variables
- VU BSc Econometrics & Operations Research, e.g. Calculus
- VU BSc Mathematics, e.g. Analysis
These are examples (e.g.). Course names and content change from year to year, so check your own study guide. Send me your course and I will look at what you need.
Where it often goes wrong
(xˣ)′ = xˣ (ln x + 1)
Not x · xˣ⁻¹. The variable is both base and exponent, so write xˣ = e^(x ln x) first and then differentiate.
Swapping a limit and an integral is not automatic
lim ∫ fₙ = ∫ lim fₙ does not always hold. You need dominated convergence or uniform convergence, for example.
What does it cost?
- With a tutor from our team (student tutor) from €250 per 4-hour package, 1 student.
- With me personally €300 online or €400 on location per 4-hour package, 1 student.
Two or more students can pay less per person, see the price table on the contact page.
