What's included
6 live meetings
7 hrs 30 mins in-class hoursHomework
1-2 hours per week. Students will be assigned homework review questions to be completed independently. A key will also be provided. The amount of time it takes for the student to answer the questions will vary depending on the student.Class Experience
In this course, students will review concepts in preparation for the NYS regents chemistry exam. Students not enrolled in the NYS regents curriculum may also find this course helpful to prepare for the final exam in a standard-level high school chemistry course. If you have any questions regarding the best fit for your student, please feel free to reach out. Each class is 1 hour and 15 minutes and will be broken up as follows: Minutes 1-30: topic 1 Minutes 31-45: practice questions Minutes 46-75: topic 2 Notesheets will be provided for each class and are available at the start of the week for downloading and printing. A notes key will be provided at the end of each week. Homework practice problems will be assigned at the end of each class (a key will also be provided to check their work). Students are expected to complete the questions and ask for help as needed. Students should communicate with me via the classroom page or conversations on Outschool to ask questions regarding the homework problems. Additionally, I am happy to stay behind at the end of a class period to answer questions for your student should that be required. Please note that while this class covers key topics on the exam, students will likely have to continue their studies outside of our meeting times to effectively prepare for the exam. I will provide guidelines to prepare for the exam to allow for students to make the most of their study efforts, but I do not check that the homework assignments are completed.
Learning Goals
Students will prepare for the end-of-year regents chemistry exam.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! I am a science teacher who resides in Rochester, NY with my husband, two children, and dog. I have twelve years of experience teaching high school level biology and chemistry and love teaching both topics! I completed my MS degree at Towson University where I discovered my passion for microbiology.
In addition to my classroom experience, I have had the opportunity to travel to over 20 countries across the world. Two of my favorite trips, Madagascar and Costa Rica, were real-world field trips with students to focus on local flora and fauna. In my spare time, I love to row crew and workout with my family.
