2-4 hours per week. Homework is assigned twice weekly as a Google Slides or PDF file. Often assignments have students choose one of the three pages (procedural fluency, conceptual understanding, mathematical reasoning) to complete, and may complete more pages if they would like the extra practice. Some homework assignments are Desmos activity or quizzes.Assessment
Students are informally assessed through their classwork and homework. Student are formally assessed through their test scores and may request a report card at the end of the semester.Class Experience

Welcome to Seed and Stem Learning Center by Bailey Nelson and Kenneth Kirk!
As a prior public school teacher, Bailey experienced the positive difference that scientific inquiry can have on students. Kenneth, who received his Bachelor's of Business Degree in Economics, found a passion in educating young students the improtance of financial literacy and business education. Bailey and Ken used this inspiration to create a program that allows students to connect across the globe through quality and inclusive education.
Although students take classes virtually, they will be inspired through hands-on and real-world applications and problems. Through our engaging courses, students will develop (or enhance) their love of all subjects by connecting to real-life applications and problems.
Teachers and tutors are all vetted through a rigorous process that focuses on scientific inquiry, problem-based learning, and hands-on pedagogy. Teachers come from a variety of backgrounds including education, economics, engineering, and computer science.
