Algebra 1 Tutoring 60 Minutes

This Algebra 1 tutoring course is designed to build a solid foundation in algebraic concepts, ensuring students are well-prepared for more advanced math courses. The course covers key topics such as solving equations, working with functions, and understanding linear and quadratic relationships.
Each week, we will cover specific algebraic topics. Students are expected to send a screenshot of their lesson, scans of their work, or a list of topics and objectives at least 2 hours before each session. This allows for personalized tutoring tailored to the student's current learning needs.
We will do a mix of doing questions together and students doing questions by themselves. This will ensure that the student understands the concept enough to perform well on a test. If students get stuck on a particular question between tutoring sessions, they can send them to the tutor for guidance. Give up to 48 hours for response.
Algebra 1 Objectives:
Expressions and Equations:
•	Simplify and evaluate algebraic expressions.
•	Solve linear equations and inequalities.
•	Solve systems of linear equations and inequalities.
Functions:
•	Understand the concept of a function and use function notation.
•	Analyze and interpret different types of functions (linear, quadratic, exponential).
•	Graph and compare functions using different representations.
Linear Relationships:
•	Understand slope and y-intercept in the context of linear functions.
•	Write and solve linear equations in various forms (standard, slope-intercept).
•	Apply linear models to solve real-world problems.
 Quadratic Functions and Equations:
•	Factor and solve quadratic equations.
•	Graph quadratic functions and analyze their key features (vertex, axis of symmetry).
•	Solve quadratic equations by factoring, completing the square, and using the quadratic formula.
 Polynomials and Rational Expressions:
•	Perform operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) with polynomials.
•	Simplify and perform operations with rational expressions.
Data Analysis and Probability:
•	Interpret and construct graphs, including histograms, box plots, and scatter plots.
•	Analyze data sets using measures of central tendency and variability.
•	Understand and apply basic concepts of probability.
Problem Solving:
•	Apply algebraic concepts to model and solve real-world problems.
•	Develop reasoning and critical thinking skills in the context of algebraic operations and problem-solving.

Tutoring Session Cancellation Policy

Cancellation Policy:

Cancellations Made at Least 24 Hours Before Session: Parents may cancel a tutoring session at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time to receive a full refund. Refunds are not guaranteed for missed classes unless they fall within Outschool's specified refund windows.
