Concerning accommodations. (For students who have Math anxiety) I set up the chat in the class for private. So students can answer questions in the chat and only I get to see the answers.I do not call on anyone to answer questions in front of the class, I simply write an exercise on the whiteboard and encourage all to answer via the chat, again in private and I give you private feedback. This lowers the anxiety level a ton. :) The way I teach this skill is very easy to learn and your child will be prepared for success in Geometry. I will show students how to do an exercise on the white board. They will learn by actually doing example exercises during class. I will repeat with another exercise and will explain as many times as needed until the students are ready to do the exercises by themselves. Once started, I will check their answers for accuracy and follow up with any necessary explanations. I encourage all participants to try as many exercises as possible. I follow up the class with an upload of homework with the solutions. NOTE: Students are expected to be on time. The class is canceled if no one shows after 10 minutes. No make ups , No refunds. No exceptions. The course breakdown is as follows: Week 1: Definitions and proper labeling.(Point, line, line segment, rays etc.) Week 2: Classifying of angles. (Obtuse, acute, scalene, right etc.) Week 3: Parallel lines: Part I : (Alternate interior angles, corresponding angles, straight angles.) Week 4: Parallel lines: Part II: (Vertical angles, same side interior, alternate exterior.) Week 5: Triangles.(Equilateral, isosceles, scalene, finding the missing angle.) Week 6: Circles. (Area, circumference, tangents, secants, radius,diameter, chords.) Week 7: Quadrilaterals. (Rectangles, squares, rhombus, trapezoids) Week 8: Solids. (Cubes, rectangular solids, pyramids, spheres, cylinders)
Syllabus
8 Lessons
over 8 WeeksLesson 1:
Definitions and proper labeling.(Point, line, line segment, rays
In this 50 minute class, the first 20 minutes will be used in explaining concepts and working detailed examples for students. The resultant 30 minutes will be used for students to practice exercises. Immediate feedback will be given along with explanations and or corrections. Students will learn the most definitions and proper labeling of basic geometric figures. This will aid in the proper understanding the language of geometry. 50 mins online live lesson
Lesson 2:
Classifying of angles. (Obtuse, acute, scalene, right etc.)
In this 50 minute class, the first 20 minutes will be used in explaining concepts and working detailed examples for students. The resultant 30 minutes will be used for students to practice exercises. Immediate feedback will be given along with explanations and or corrections. Students will learn the most definitions and proper labeling of basic geometric figures; such as different type of angles and triangles.
This will aid in the proper understanding the language of geometry. 50 mins online live lesson
Lesson 3:
Parallel lines: Part I : (Alternate interior angles, corresponding angles.
In this 50 minute class, the first 20 minutes will be used in explaining concepts and working detailed examples for students. The resultant 30 minutes will be used for students to practice exercises. Immediate feedback will be given along with explanations and or corrections. Students will learn about the different type of angles formed by parallel lines; such as alternate interior angles, corresponding angles. This will aid in the proper understanding the language of geometry. 50 mins online live lesson
Lesson 4:
Parallel lines: Part II: (Vertical angles, same side interior, alternate ext.)
In this 50 minute class, the first 20 minutes will be used in explaining concepts and working detailed examples for students. The resultant 30 minutes will be used for students to practice exercises. Immediate feedback will be given along with explanations and or corrections. Students will learn about the different type of angles formed by parallel lines; such as vertical angles, consecutive interior angles, etc. This will aid in the proper understanding the language of geometry. 50 mins online live lesson

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from University of Houston
As a private tutor since 1995 I learned that students want a math teacher who is friendly, non-judgmental and is interested in their success in math.
Students want concise and simple explanations.
I have developed my own method of teaching this skill.
I have successfully taught this skill to hundreds of students .
Once you learn it you will never forget it.
After watching Khan Academy and You tube videos on this topic I have seen nothing like the method I teach.
This skill is essential in order to learn Geometry properly.
I provide quality instruction to your child, you will be glad you chose me as his/her math teacher.
