Homework
1-2 hours per week. Each lesson video will be accompanied by a worksheet of problems similar to those covered in the lesson. The assignment should take 30-60 minutes on average. The student is welcome to review the lesson video while they are working on the homework. The homework assignments will not be checked by the teacher. A solution video for each homework assignment is provided, so that students can check all of own their work. Please contact the teacher with any questions related to the homework exercises.
Assessment
The course includes 4 quizzes and 2 tests to assess understanding of the material. After submitting each quiz, the learner will receive a personalized detailed feedback video, specifically tailored to their work. The feedback will be sent to the student within a week. In addition to the quizzes, there will be 2 tests in the course. The first test will be posted after completing Units 1-3, while the second test will follow the completion of Units 4-5. Similar to the quizzes, after submitting each test, an individualized feedback video detailing any necessary corrections will be sent to each student. The student can expect to receive the feedback video within a week of submitting each test. All work must be submitted prior to the ending date of class. Feedback and full solutions to the assessments will be provided to each student, along with a percentage grade. Please show your work to receive partial credit, even if the answer is incorrect. Being able to follow your thinking process also helps me give you better feedback.
Letter Grade
Each student must notify the teacher by the end of the first week of class if they would like to receive a grade. All quizzes and tests must be submitted to receive a final grade.

Class Experience

US Grade 7 - 10
This class is the first part of a two-semester series that covers the content typically taught in a full-year high-school level Algebra 1 class. It is designed for a student beginning their study of algebra, as well as any student who needs to review fundamental algebraic concepts. To be successful in this class, students must be proficient in working with positive and negative integers, decimals, and fractions, as well as graphing in the coordinate plane.

Each topic in this course includes a comprehensive video lesson and corresponding homework assignment. The video lessons will thoroughly explain the relevant concepts and provide step-by-step examples for better understanding. The homework assignment will consist of practice problems directly related to the concepts taught in the lesson. To facilitate self-assessment, a complete solution video for each homework assignment is provided for students to check their work independently.

Solutions to the quizzes and tests are only provided when the student submits those assessments. A detailed, personalize correction video will be created for each student as needed.

Students can message me with any questions they have about the content of the lessons and assignments for the 12-week duration of the class. They can expect a response within 24 hours during daytime hours in the EST time zone.

If you choose to pay weekly, you will receive 2 lessons, 2 assignments, and 2 homework solution videos each week, with exception of the two weeks when tests are scheduled. Week 6 will only have one lesson, assignment, and homeschool solution video, plus a test. In Week 12, only the final test will be posted, giving students the opportunity to catch up if needed and receive feedback.
If you choose to pay for the entire class upfront, you will receive all lessons, assignments, and solutions immediately, allowing the student to determine their own completion plan.

Learning Goals

The student develops strong comprehension of the fundamental topics covered in the first semester of Algebra 1.

As an experienced and certified classroom instructor, I have expertise in teaching a range of math courses, spanning from pre-algebra to calculus. In addition to my classroom experience, I have also provided individual tutoring to students for numerous years. This experience has allowed me to gain insight into the common misconceptions that students encounter when grappling with math concepts. In order to assist students in overcoming these challenges, I structure my lessons in a manner that addresses these misconceptions and helps students avoid making similar errors.
