What do his students have to say?
“Business Calculus is a difficult class, but he makes it easier by providing students with videos and step-by-step instructions for every concept. He replies quickly to any email and offers tutoring and reasonable office hours to students. Do not be afraid to ask questions in this class! The concepts are difficult, but you are set up for success.”
