At the end of this course, the student will be able to say, "I can..."
- tell you what polynomials and quadratics are (including monomials, binomials, trinomials, degree of equations, leading coefficients, standard, vertex, and factored forms)
- determine the real roots (zeros or x-intercepts) of a quadratic
- complete the square
- plot / graph quadratics (axis of symmetry, vertex, upward/downward facing)
- apply the quadratic formula
- solve word problems that have quadratics in them (including SAT/ACT test questions on quadratics).

I've been certified in the public schools for teaching math in middle and high schools. I received additional certified training for gifted and talented learners. I taught math for sixteen years and I've been a personal SAT tutor for seven years. My students have typically raised their scores between 100 and 300 points.  As a chemical engineer and project management professional in the world of business consulting and information technology consulting, I've completed over five levels of college calculus and applied mathematics and used these math and computing skills throughout my career.  

The students I have taught had varying learning abilities that ranged from one with pronounced learning disabilities to gifted and talented. When it came to PSAT's and SAT's, each of them with impressive improvements in their scores. 

It can be done!  I used a focused approach. We honed in on trouble areas, really understood the underlying math concept, and drilled for mastery.

Homework Offered
I have lots of drill problems done interactively through nearpod.com.  Your student will have terrific and ample opportunity to practice.
1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
My assessments are done on nearpod.  The students have their system of tracking their scores clearly laid out for them on each assessment so that by the end of the course, you will have all grades and can report a score. Assessments are provided weekly.
Grades Offered

Students will see the lessons on Nearpod which will not require logging in to view. Students should have  the ability to use their mouse and/or keyboard to annotate. Nearpod will access YouTube which has videos for this class which were created by the teacher.
