Review for Mid-Term Exam
I will be teaching from the McGraw-Hill Texas TEKS Algebra 2 textbook (ISBN: 978-0-02-139256-8) if you would like to purchase one for your student to utilize. Used textbooks can be found online via websites such as www.bookfinder.com. THE TEXTBOOK IS NOT REQUIRED. I will be providing content in class in addition to homework problems, quiz and test materials. ALL MATERIALS NEED FOR THIS COURSE WILL BE PROVIDED.
Students will be provided with homework problems, quizzes and tests throughout the course. I will also provide answer keys for parents to utilize for grading purposes. If you would like me to provide grades, students will need to submit all work to me for grading.
We will begin each class with a brief review of the previous weeks material if there are no homework questions to go over. I will work through examples as I teach each class and students will have many opportunities to work practice problems to ensure understanding before we move on. After each class, students will be given homework problems to be completed before the next class. I will provide an answer key so that parents or students can check their work.
I will have private tutoring sessions available upon request for students that need additional help.Learning Goals

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering from University of Alabama at Birmingham
I am a middle school and high school math tutor. I help students with 6th, 7th and 8th grade math, PreAlgebra, Algebra 1, Algebra 2 and PreCalculus. I have a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. I have homeschooled my four children over the last 19 years and have three children who have graduated from college and a 10th grader. I've taught Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Precalculus, Math Models, Physics, 4-H and study skills at a private school and homeschool co-op. I've also coached middle school and high school FTC Robotics teams. I was a Veterinary Science project leader and club manager in 4-H for 4 years.
I have a passion for helping kids discover the love of learning. My speciality is helping kids who have traditionally struggled with math find their inner math genius. I accomplish this by introducing them to strategies that help all the puzzle pieces fit together for them. I've discovered that once a student discovers that they can understand math concepts, they end up being successful through out the rest of their school career. It makes me giddy to see the lightbulb come on for kids who have truly believed that they aren't good at math. I believe that everyone can be good at math.
I love spending time with my family. We enjoy going on adventures to the beach, the mountains or wherever life takes us. I enjoy teaching online because it allows me the flexibility to be there for my family when they need me. I hope to see you in my next class!!Reviews
