This class cover a full High School Geometry curriculum. The summer portion covers a summer preload to prep the student for the school year. Beginning in September the full set of course modules are taught through May. Topics include: circle theorems including Area of Circle, Sphere and Ellipse, Inscribed Circumscribed, Chords, Arcs, Secants, Tangents, Theorems: (Perpendicular Tangent, Perpendicular Diameter, Congruent Chord, Congruent Tangent Segments, Inscribed Angle, Tangent Chord, Exterior Intersection, Chord Product, Secant Secant, Secant Tangent , Non-Central Angles formed by Chords, Exterior Angle formed by Tangents & Secants) - each module is taught independently on a rotating schedule so that learners can jump in at anytime without being lost and get the full course study.

US Grade 9 - 12
Note that the Thursday 11AM session continues to meet under the old format of 40 minutes once per week because these students have been on the same schedule since spring of 2021.  All other sections will be twice a week for 25 minutes per week.

For the student to increase proficiency, understanding, and speed on the following topics:  
1 | Points, Lines, Segments, Rays, Angles, Sets - Points, Lines, Rays, & Line Segments, Planes and Sets,Angles,Parallel and Perpendicular Lines, Supplementary and Complementary Angles, Transversals

2 | Area, Volume, Surface Area: Rectangular Solid, Cylinder, Pyramid, Cone, Prism, Sphere - Area, Volume, & Surface Area of Rectangular Solid, Cylinder, Pyramid, Cone, Prism, and Sphere, and Surface Area of Solids

3 | Transformations, Similarity, & Congruency - transformations, distance, midpoints, triangles, angles, acute, obtuse, complimentary, supplementary, vertical angles, perpendicular, parallel, angle sum theorem, parallel lines cut by a transversal, side-angle-side, similarity, angle-angle-side, side-side-side. 

4 | SOH-CAH-TOA Basic Trigonometry - SOH CAH TOA; sine, cosine, tangent, Inverse Trigonometry functions, finding the angles, Solving right triangles, Trig short cuts - triples and complementary angles, Applications in trigonometry- word problems, Reciprocal Trig Functions

5 | Circle Theorem - Area of Circle, Sphere and Ellipse, Inscribed Circumscribed, Chords, Arcs, Secants, Tangents, Theorems: (Perpendicular Tangent, Perpendicular Diameter, Congruent Chord, Congruent Tangent Segments, Inscribed Angle, Tangent Chord, Exterior Intersection, Chord Product, Secant Secant, Secant Tangent , Non-Central Angles formed by Chords, Exterior Angle formed by Tangents & Secants)
I've been certified in the public schools for teaching math in middle and high schools. I received additional certified training for gifted and talented learners. I taught math for sixteen years and I've been a personal SAT tutor for seven years. My students have typically raised their scores between 100 and 300 points.  As a chemical engineer and project management professional in the world of business consulting and information technology consulting, I've completed over five levels of college calculus and applied mathematics and used these math and computing skills throughout my career.  
Homework Offered
Assessments Offered
The learner's progress is assessed by how well the learner participates in the interactions during class.
Grades Offered
Learners should have a graphing calculator (TI-84 or similar), a compass, and a protractor.  It's a good idea to always have pencil and paper when taking a math class. Most learners assume it, but as a parent, perhaps remind them because I notice that many times students are having to run in the other room to look for tools to write with and paper to write on.  The compass is good to have on hand because I insert into the teaching lots of points where we pull out the compass and draw what we are talking about.  Students really enjoy this but it only works if the compass is right there for them to use.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
It's a tutoring session. The parents and student determine the content within the constraints of Geometry.

Hello, Outschool parents and learners! I have nearly all 5 out of 5 ratings because I'm known for the kind of caring and high energy math instruction that really gets learners understanding math from the inside out. So welcome to my classes! ...
