Class Experience

US Grade 7 - 9
Beginner Level
Prepare your 8th grader for a successful math journey with our comprehensive and engaging online course, powered by the Quizizz Voyage Math curriculum! This course is specially designed to build confidence, excitement, and mastery in fundamental math topics, covering everything from ratios and proportional reasoning to fractions, decimals, percentages, expressions, equations, and geometry.

Each class is packed with interactive, game-based quizzes, collaborative challenges, and real-time feedback to ensure students stay motivated and engaged. What sets this course apart is our step-by-step walk-through approach to problem-solving, where each lesson carefully breaks down challenging concepts into clear, manageable steps. This method helps students understand not just the 'how' but the 'why' behind every solution, building a strong foundation in critical thinking and analytical skills.

In addition to guided problem-solving, students will work through practice problems and real-world applications that make math relevant and accessible. Our course is structured to meet each learner at their own pace, offering personalized support and enrichment opportunities so that every student feels empowered to succeed. By the end of the course, your child will not only have a thorough understanding of 6th-grade math concepts but also the skills and confidence to tackle advanced math challenges with a positive and growth-oriented mindset.

Join me to set your child on the path to math success—equipped with essential skills, enhanced confidence, and a newfound love for learning!
