What's included
30 live meetings
27 hrs 30 mins in-class hoursHomework
2-4 hours per week. Students will be provided with individual practice assignments after each class. In addition, after most Thursday class meetings, student will be asked to complete a video lesson. The video will be of me teaching the lesson in the same format as I teach during class meetings. A You Tube link with the lesson will be provided.Assessment
Students will be informally assessed based on class participation. If parents would like a percentage score to be given at the end of the course, students will be required to turn in practice assignments and complete tests. Otherwise, tests will be optional and students will not be required to turn in practice assignments.Grading
includedClass Experience
US Grade 9 - 12
This 30-session Algebra 2 course will fulfill the first semester of a high school Algebra 2. The class will cover six units and outlined in the syllabus. We meet twice a week for 55 minutes. When we meet together, I review previous material encouraging student participation, answer student questions, and teach new material. Students are encouraged to actively participate with via various methods, even anonymously if they are shy. Students are expected to complete practice assignments between classes. The only way to learn Algebra is to DO Algebra! Note that this class will meet 30 times. I have two make-up classes included in the schedule. These extra classes are included in case I am ill and can not teach on a particular day. Students will also be assigned an additional video lesson a few times a month. The video lesson will be taught by me and posted in the classroom via a You Tube link. Completing these occasional video lessons enables me to cover more material without additional meetings, and therefore additional cost to families. I provide guided notes, practice assignments, and optional tests. Parents and students can also be provided with a percentage score for this class upon request. Answers to practice assignments will be provided, and student correct their own assignments. During each class meeting, time will be devoted to reviewing practice assignments. Students will have the opportunity to request questions they want me to review in class, and the opportunity to ask questions on assignments. ************************************************************************************************************ The second semester of this class will be offered after this first semester class ends. ********************************************************************************************************** Look at my reviews on Outschool to read about how other students enjoyed and learned from my Mathematics courses. And, please message me if you have any questions.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Michigan Teaching Certificate in Mathematics
I began teaching in 1978 by forcing my little brothers to "play school" during summer breaks. I began my paid teaching career in 1991 by teaching at a public high school in Michigan. In my over 30 years of experience teaching, I have also taught at a community college, homeschool co-ops, an alternative school, and a virtual online school. I retired from teaching high school math at a public high school in 2018. Now, I enjoy being home to homeschool my son, play with my grandchildren, and teach students online from all over the world.
I graduated from Western Michigan University in 1992 with a degree in Mathematics, History, and Education. In 2005, I earned a Master's Degree in the Art of Teaching from Marygrove College in Detroit. I am certified to teach mathematics in the state of Michigan.
I believe that students learn by DOING! My class is a safe place to try, make mistakes, and try again. My classes I incorporate plenty opportunity for practice, and I provide meaningful individualized feedback for students. During class I encourage active participation from each student, and provide ways for shy students to participate in ways that make them feel comfortable. I will work with your student to help them be successful in math.
Please message me if I can help you meet your math educational goals.
