This course is designed with two live classes each week where students will have the opportunity to review concepts, practice various types of questions, and receive clarification during Q&A sessions. Additionally, they will receive recordings of each class for further reference.

The goal of the course is to equip 8th and 9th-grade students with a solid foundation in Algebra 1, providing them with the necessary skills and tricks to approach the subject with confidence. As the course progresses, students will build on their knowledge and develop problem-solving abilities in various algebraic conc to be covered in each week classes: I will follow this tentative schedule for this school year.
