US Grade 9 - 12
In my Homeschool Algebra 2 Course, I cover the entire Algebra 2 curriculum. We meet three times per week for 45 minutes each time over four months. My teaching style is very interactive. I show students examples of the problems during class and I interact with my students throughout the lesson. I encourage students to participate in the lesson and attempt the problems. I am a very kind and patient teacher. I pay attention to my students and adjust the pace to suit my students. Sometimes, this means speeding up my teaching and presenting more complicated questions while at other times, this means slowing down the pace and repeating the explanations. Homework: Students are expected to complete problem sets which I post each week. I also post additional videos and the notes from the lectures for students to review. I have many years of experience teaching students with learning differences including: ADHD, ADD, concussions, anxiety, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, autism spectrum disorder and others. I have 19 years of teaching experience and in that time, I have taught over one thousand students! I have taught at the best boarding schools in Canada: Shawnigan Lake School and Brentwood College School. I majored in Biochemistry at Queen's University. After completing my Homeschool Algebra 2 Course, students are prepared to enroll in my Pre-Calculus Course.
