Class Experience

US Grade 8 - 10
Factoring quadratics is one of the trickiest (and most important) skills in Algebra. Whether your learner is brand new to factoring, needs a refresher, or wants to keep their skills sharp, this ongoing class is designed to make factoring "click" and stay with them through Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2.

In this interactive weekly class, I teach one consistent, reliable factoring method that works for all factorable problems—so your learner won’t have to relearn a new process later in high school. This method is simple, systematic, and builds the confidence they need to tackle more complex math down the road.

šŸŽÆWhat to Expect Each Week:

* A short, clear review of the factoring steps using a detailed handout.
* Step-by-step guided practice with plenty of time for questions and independent thinking.
* A weekly ā€œchallenge problemā€ that rotates between special cases: factoring and solving, perfect square trinomials, factoring with two variables, and difference of squares.
* Scaffolded instruction—more support at the start, gradually leading your learner to solve with independence.
* Supportive feedback throughout, so your learner knows exactly where they’re on track and where to adjust.


✨Perfect for:

* Algebra 1 students learning factoring for the first time
* Algebra 2 or Geometry students who want to review and stay sharp
* Homeschoolers looking for live, interactive math instruction from a certified teacher


I’m a certified high school math teacher with a Master’s in Education, and I specialize in helping students who struggle with math. My goal is for every learner to leave class with more confidence, more skill, and a method they can trust for years to come.
