Send me a message; I'm happy to help you find the right fit 😊 Welcome to Algebra 1! You may feel excited, nervous, or a combination of feelings. One thing I want you to know is that I honor your effort that is given in this class (showing up to class when you are able, participating in class as best you can, being honest when something isn't making full sense to you, etc.). This discussion-based math class will teach you algebra 1, logical reasoning, how to collaborate with classmates on complex problems, problem-solving skills, and how to advocate for your own learning. Class notes will be provided 24 hours before the first class is set to begin. I highly encourage learners to print these notes, or have them accessible digitally where they can annotate. I can't wait to meet you! Feel free to reach out with any questions. TEACHING STYLE My goals are to teach to the students' needs and encourage students while they learn core concepts. I accomplish this through setting high expectations and making sure students feel seen and heard. Mistakes will be made, and that is okay! It is all part of the learning process. The method of teaching will be a mix of "I do, we do, you do" (which means I will be demonstrating the content first) and giving the students problems to try out on their own first. I often use questions to allow students to think critically without giving the answers away. I love student-to-student interaction and will be incorporating it as much as possible through online discussions. NOTE: Make-up days are available if the teacher is unable to attend class (this would be due only to an emergency/illness). Make-up dates & times will be communicated through a classroom post and are based on the teacher's availability. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Semester 1 Schedule: Week 1: Essential Algebraic Arithmetic (review pre-algebra arithmetic) Week 2: Essential Algebraic Arithmetic (introduce algebra arithmetic) Week 3: Solving Linear Equations with Variables on Both Sides Week 4: Solving Linear Inequalities (algebraically and graphically) Week 5: Solving Literal Equations Week 6: Linear Functions Week 7: Identifying and Evaluating Functions Week 8: Identifying Key Components of Linear Functions Week 9: Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Week 10: Slope of Linear Equations Week 11: Forms of Linear Equations Week 12: Systems of Linear Equations and Inequalities (elimination) Week 13: Systems of Linear Equations and Inequalities (substitution) Week 14: Semester Review or Flex Week

Teacher expertise and credentials
Texas Teaching Certificate in Mathematics
The courses I offer center around core math topics in pre-algebra and algebra. I like to focus on the important building blocks students need to master in middle school and early high school in order to succeed in high school and beyond. Some of these topics cover proportionality, equations, inequalities, basic geometry, algebraic expressions, and arithmetic.
I am a certified teacher for grades 4-8 math and have over four years of professional experience teaching math to students ranging from grades 3 to 12. I taught seventh grade math while getting my credentials and taught my first year of seventh grade math at an amazing school. Though I left full-time teaching when I became a mother in 2019, I have continued to pursue my passion for teaching math part-time via various platforms.
My philosophy that drives my teaching is that every student is a unique person who is worthy of my time. I have the patience to work with students who are struggling in math and the ability to push students who are naturally inclined towards math. My goals when working with students are to teach and encourage.
When I'm not teaching/tutoring I can be found snuggling my babies, spending quality time with friends and family, and playing disc golf with my wonderful husband. Reviews
