NOTE : Students must have a reasonable amount of academic maturity to enroll.

 NOTE: If no one shows after 10 minutes, class is canceled. NO make ups, No refunds
              No   exceptions.



The way I teach this skill is very easy to learn and your child will be prepared for success in Algebra.
 I will show students how to do an exercise on the white board. They will learn  by actually doing example exercises during class. I will repeat with another exercise and will explain as many times as needed until the students are ready to do the exercises by themselves. Once started, I will check their answers for accuracy and follow up with any necessary explanations. I encourage all participants to try as many exercises as possible. I follow up the class with an upload of homework with the solutions.
