What's included

15 live meetings
12 hrs 30 mins in-class hours
Homework
1-2 hours per week. Students are expected to complete the A, and D worksheet from each lesson as well as the test. Additional worksheets may be completed as necessary for better understanding. There are 3 grading options for this class: Option 1: Students will not submit assignments and will not receive a grade. This option is perfect for those just looking for additional support and wishing to grade their own papers or skip HW and test altogether. Option 2: I will grade Homework/Classwork and tests. Students will submit all assignments to Google Classroom. Assignments must be submitted in a pdf. Assigments submitted to Outschool will not be graded. Late Assignments will not be graded. Assignments not submitted in pdf form will not be graded. Option 3: Parents/Guardians may grade both homework and tests and submit for a grade. NOTE: Google Classroom is used only to submit homework files and keep students updated on their current grade and will never be used for outside meetings or any other purpose.
Assessment
Learner progress is assessed through class participation and completion of assignments.

Class Experience

US Grade 8 - 11
Students will learn from instruction on the whiteboard and through working example problems. A portion of each class period will be spent  covering new material and then students participate by working problems on the whiteboard. Students are encouraged, but not required to participate.  Class time will also be used to go over homework from the previous day, answer any questions and cover the day's lesson. Students will have time at the end of the class to review previously worked problems  and ask any additional questions.

I am a working homeschool mom of two (both graduates). I have taught/tutored  math and science for more than 25 years and have a Bachelor's of Science degree in Chemical Engineering from Florida A&M University.   I have a passion for helping students understand the why and how.  As an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person), I excel in being able to connect with students who struggle and need a patient and supportive instructor. In my free time I love to knit, bowl, work logic puzzles and spend time with my family. 

Testimonials:
"Yolanda has truly been an answer to prayer ....She is wise, knowledgeable, reliable and most importantly, effective.  The support she has provided to our boys has been invaluable. They have learned and continue to learn to communicate in the "language" of math.  She perseveres until the "light of understanding" begins to flicker. If presented with the same circumstances, I would make the same decision all over again."  -Erica N. 

"I like to feel confident in whatever I do so that I can perform at my best.  I like to understand what I’m learning as well.  Naturally, when it comes to school, this applies.  I can perform my best in just about every subject on my own.  All except math.  Before I came to Mrs. Pugh, I had an average grade in math of about 70%.  Yes it was passing, but no, I wouldn’t be getting into college with that grade.  I knew that it wasn’t my best, and I didn't feel confident in that area of my academics.  Fortunately, Mrs. Pugh also knew that this grade wasn’t my best either.  I worked with her weekly and began to achieve grades and understanding I didn’t know I was capable of!  For me, an 85% average was the best I was able to do for the longest time, but with Mrs. Pugh, my grade has jumped to a 92% average, IN MATH!  And it’s not only that.  She is very easy to talk to, and whenever there’s trouble, she listens carefully.  She also works out every step, and we don’t pass a problem until I understand it fully.  Whenever I get ready to work with Mrs. Pugh, I can always trust that she will bring out the best in me, and help me to gain confidence wherever there’s uncertainty.  Most importantly, I know she cares about my success."
 Naomi G., 10th grade, Homeschooler

"We have been working with Mrs. Pugh since last August of 2019 and she has been a life saver for 5 of our children, ages 7, 10, 11, 13 and 15.  I have learned so much about myself as a homeschool parent, and teaching my children math was not a strength of mine for several reasons.  Mrs. Pugh stepped into our lives, and has met each of our children at each of their levels, 1st grade math all the way to Algebra I and II and brings to our homeschool adventure the patience, understanding, and rigor for our children’s math experience we needed.  She also gets to know the children’s personality, and considers the whole child when giving feedback on their progress.  We are so thankful for Mrs. Pugh!"  -Shayla G.
