1-2 hours per week. There will be two graded quizzes and one test. The first quiz is posted at the end of Unit 1 and covers all topics taught in those lessons. The second quiz is posted at the end of Unit 3 and covers the topics taught in Units 2 and 3. The test is posted at the end of Unit 4 and focuses mostly on the topics in Unit 4, but also includes a few review problems from the prior units. The student should show all of their work necessary to arrive at their solutions in order to receive partial credit if the final answer is incorrect. After submitting a completed quiz or test, I will create a personalized feedback video explaining any of the necessary corrections.Letter Grade
I will calculate a final course grade for the student if they have submitted both quizzes and the test.Class Experience

This class is the first part of a four quarter series that covers the content typically taught in a full-year high-school level Algebra 2 class. It is designed for a student continuing their study of algebra after having previously completed an Algebra 1 (or equivalent) course. To be successful in this class, students must be proficient in solving and graphing linear equations, as well as working with integers and fractions. Each topic in this course includes a comprehensive video lesson and corresponding homework assignment. The video lessons will thoroughly explain the relevant concepts and provide step-by-step examples for better understanding. The lesson videos have an average length of 30-45 minutes, depending on the topic taught. The homework assignment will consist of practice problems directly related to the concepts taught in the lesson. To facilitate self-assessment, a complete solution video for each homework assignment is provided for students to check their work independently. The homework videos are typically around 20 minutes in length, with an overview of all solutions at the beginning, followed by a complete explanation of each exercise. Solutions to the quizzes and tests are only provided when the student submits those assessments. A detailed, personalize correction video will be created for each student as needed. Students can message me with any questions they have about the content of the lessons and assignments for the 8-week duration of the class. They can expect a response within 24 hours during daytime hours in the EST time zone. If you choose to pay weekly, you will receive 2 lessons and 2 homework solution video each week, with exception of the final week. In Week 8, only the final test will be posted, giving the student the opportunity to catch up if needed and receive feedback. If you choose to pay for the entire class upfront, you will receive all lessons immediately, allowing the student to determine their own completion plan.

Supply List
For optimal engagement during the video lessons, students are advised to have paper and a pencil readily available to work on the practice problems. While it can be beneficial to have a printer for printing out the worksheets, quizzes, and tests, it is not a requirement. Alternatively, students are welcome to handwrite their responses for the quizzes and tests on paper. Please ensure that the problems are clearly numbered for easy reference.

As an experienced and certified classroom instructor, I have expertise in teaching a range of math courses, spanning from pre-algebra to calculus. In addition to my classroom experience, I have also provided individual tutoring to students for numerous years. This experience has allowed me to gain insight into the common misconceptions that students encounter when grappling with math concepts. In order to assist students in overcoming these challenges, I structure my lessons in a manner that addresses these misconceptions and helps students avoid making similar errors.
