- The main goal of this Algebra I class is provide a solid foundation for a traditional Algebra 1 course.
I have been teaching math (as a classroom teacher and tutor) for 25+ years. As a person who struggled with math as a younger student, I can empathize with and relate to students as they try to learn new and difficult concepts. A lot of encouragement goes a long way.
