Sunset Loft · Venice Beach · Wednesday, August 5
AP Calculus Jumpstart
Start the year ahead. Finish your summer assignment. Build the habits calculus rewards.
One day · Steps from the sand
Who it’s for
Students entering AP Calculus AB or BC this fall.
Bring your summer assignment. Leave with it done — and a system for the year.
The day
8:00 AM – 8:00 PM · Come and go
The day is yours to shape. Two fixed points anchor it — your 1:1 and a check-in at the end. The hours in between are open: work at your pace, or step out to the beach and come back.
Your 1:1
Scheduled and dedicated — the one block to be here for. Problem-solving, notation, and showing your work: the habits AP Calculus actually rewards.
Work at your pace
Real progress on real problem sets in a room built for focus — or slip out to the beach and come back. Coffee, sparkling water, and snacks all day.
The final check-in
Close the day together — a look at what you moved forward, and where it points for the fall.
Doors open 8 to 8. Be here for your 1:1 and the final check-in — the rest of the day is yours.
The space
A room that makes the work easy
Held at Sunset Loft, steps from the sand in Venice Beach — ocean views, workspaces, and rooms built for focus.
Secured parking nearby, with in-and-out privileges.
For the day
Before you come
Getting here
- Address
- 18 N. Venice Blvd, Unit A — a blue three-story building with a black front gate, steps from the ocean.
- Parking
- Gated garage at 42 N. Venice Blvd (7:30 AM–midnight); metered street parking nearby.
- Access
- A second-floor walk-up — stairs, no elevator. The residence upstairs is private.
In the loft
- Both bedrooms are closed for the day. The Brick Room and the Blue Room are off-limits — everyone works in the common areas.
- Full kitchen, coffee and filtered water, two bathrooms, a glass blackboard, and fast Wi-Fi.
- A quiet residential building — please be considerate of the neighbors, no smoking, and shake off the sand (there’s a hose in the front garden).
- Bring your summer assignment, a laptop, and a charger.
Why it works
The structure carries it
The Jumpstart isn’t built around one teacher — it’s built around a structure. A dedicated 1:1, hours of focused work, and an end-of-day check-in that turns momentum into a plan for the fall.
It runs inside a container designed for it: a calm, light-filled loft steps from the sand, with an experienced AP Calculus instructor from our team. Bring the assignment — the format does the rest.
After the Jumpstart
Every student leaves with target goals for the semester.
And every family receives a discount on school-year tutoring packages with Tier One.
