Class Experience

US Grade 9 - 12
This class is self-paced, where students progress at their own pace. It does not include live classes, but it is very interactive. I will use visuals, mnemonics, real-world examples, discussion, games, and guided notes to ensure a deep understanding. I strive to make learning fun and instill confidence in each student. You will receive two recorded lessons each week, along with interactive lessons on Nearpod. 

Feedback will be submitted no later than Friday, but usually within 24 hours. Students will also have access to their own private grade book that will be updated no later than Sunday night. I will assist students with specific questions within 24 hours, and students will have access to discounted private tutoring sessions every Friday for further assistance. 

I do not drill. If students want extra practice, I can recommend books or websites and provide more exercises. The focus of this class is a deep understanding of the curriculum and the confidence it instills.
