What's included
1 live meeting
45 mins in-class hours per weekHomework
1 hour per week. Upon completion of one cycle of the material in this ongoing practice club, your learner will be able to say they can do the following. They can also repeat the cycle that the club goes through as often as they need to in order to make sure the material is well-understood: Addition and Subtraction of Polynomials Multiplication of Polynomials Division of Polynomials Composition of Functions Inverse of FunctionsAssessment
The learner's progress is assessed by how well the learner participates in the interactions during class.Class Experience

Your learner is going to love this! It's a work session with other students where the goal is to really understand and master the basics of quadric equations through weekly practice of the concepts, exercises, and techniques. Nearpod links with homework/practice drill problems are provided by Professor Kitty. And periodic assessments are provided through tearcher provided Nearpods (students and parents are responsible to screen shot and print out the score report for their own tracking purposes) - the assessments can be used for reporting grades for distance learners/homeschoolers, To see where each section is tracking with the full curriculum, use this guide: Classes currently running...

I've been certified in the public schools for teaching math in middle and high schools. I received additional certified training for gifted and talented learners. I taught math for sixteen years and I've been a personal SAT tutor for seven years. My students have typically raised their scores between 100 and 300 points. As a chemical engineer and project management professional in the world of business consulting and information technology consulting, I've completed over five levels of college calculus and applied mathematics and used these math and computing skills throughout my career.
