First lesson free if it's unhelpful or we're not a good fit. Guaranteed better math and study skills after 5 or more sessions. Feel confident using simple tips to get an A because we'll take shortcuts learning concepts and problem solving.


- Important Logistical Notes Before Our First Meeting -

1. Please schedule 2+ days in advance because sometimes the system blocks same day or 1 day scheduling.

If you message me about a private meeting at a specific time slot, I would be glad to work with you although you have to understand it may not work, and the more time you give us, the better.

2. Please send me all your online files or photos of physical files through Outschool "Conversations" messages. Preferably 2+ days in advance to prevent technical difficulties. 

More importantly, 2+ days allow me to review your material and either ask questions if needed, or give you a full refund to save you time, meaning I won't be able to help.

Make sure all files and photos are clear and zoomed in because there is no feature to zoom in later, which means you will have to retake them if the video screen share shows them either too small or blurry.

3. If you must reschedule, please do it 2+ days in advance because the more last minute you wait, the more we may not be able to reschedule due to system blocks.

When that's the case, please understand I'm trying to help you, and if you cannot get a refund because it's outside the Outschool 48-hour window policy, you would have to contact support because it's beyond my ability to assist at that point.

4. According to Outschool Policy, if the student arrives late to the meeting by 10 minutes, the instructor may leave and you will be stuck with a paid session without a refund.

In my case, I am willing to wait up to 30 minutes before leaving, so please make sure you are not too late because that's the best I could do for you. In addition, the session will still end on time, without any makeup time regardless of how much time we lost due to any reason, so please understand the session could have rightfully been cancelled on my end although out of courtesy to you, we will make the best of the shorter time.

5. If the student has a medical or lawful reason for wanting the camera off the whole lesson, please let me know in advance. Normally, it might be better for you to find another educator, although if your case is special, I am willing to work with you. Ideally, you would be comfortable with turning on your camera the whole time, so that our experience and interaction would be more effective and engaging. Knowing our surroundings and environment would improve your learning and progress.



- General Topics & Themes of Course -

This class covers the specific, easy tips that make learning formulas and concepts easier.

I'll personalized lessons that skip most Algebra and Geometry textbook explanations because they contain extras not useful for future, advanced math. 

We'll cover outside skills such as time management, so the student finishes all the questions in time, instead of feeling anxiety or stress while leaving some blank.

We'll attend 3 sessions a week, or it may vary according to the parents and students' preference, depending on their strengths and weaknesses.

We'll ensure the student understands the current material before moving forward. If the student doesn't understand right away, we'll patiently explain the concept from another perspective, so the student feels comfortable. We may always revisit past material for clarity or reminder.

The student will have the freedom to always interrupt the instructor and ask questions if something doesn't make sense. 


- Specific Topics & Themes of Course -

We'll learn the strategy of "estimating" and rule out answers far from our estimation and lock onto the one closest to it. We also develop our math intuition this way.

For variables, we'll understand how to separate 2, such as x and y, and deal with them in each of their simple ways without confusion.

For graphs and geometric shapes, we'll help you visualize the different types of lines, slopes and angles easier in your mind. We'll draw them correctly with our new, shortcut technique.

For word problems, we will learn how to scan and skim through paragraphs and gather the valuable, numeric information within lesser time.
