What's included
50 live meetings
50 in-class hoursHomework
1 hour per week. Learners are welcome to share their work/homework from other Mathematics classes that they may be taking, either at a regular school or in another online program if they require help with it so that Pamela can explain it to them in another way that helps them to understand what is required to complete said task.Assessment
Learners and Parents/Guardians/Carers are welcome to request assessment catered to suit their requirements, whether it be to practice for an upcoming test elsewhere, or to complete a portfolio for homeschool or another learning platform online or in "real life."Grading

Beginner - Advanced Level
If the currently listed section times do not suit you, please contact me to arrange a more suitable time, pending availability. This arrangement is ideal for: - Siblings who live together; - Siblings who live apart; - Friends and best friends! - Cousins who don't get to see each other as often as they would like to; - Any other combination that you can think of where two children want to learn together without the distraction and disruption of having people they don't know in their class. If you have more than 2 children that you would like a private class for, please contact me (Pamela) to arrange this - it's easier than you [probably] think! Please note that if the ages of your children are outside the age range of 5 years and/or the range listed here, that is not an issue, as this is essentially treated as a "double 1:1 class" where the age range has to be put into the class description as it is listed as having 2 children and the system would not accept this class without a set age range due to this. Learners are welcome to share their work/homework from other Mathematics classes that they may be taking, either at a regular school or in another online program if they require help with it so that Pamela can explain it to them in another way that helps them to understand what is required to complete said task. The content being taught each week will be learner-driven. The areas of skill and knowledge being taught and practiced in this class include but are not limited to: General: - Number and place value - Money and financial mathematics - Patterns and algebra -
