This 3 day course will help your learner prepare for Algebra 1 or Integrated 1 math as they enter high school. We will focus on strengthening students with the basic skills needed to be successful in most 9th grade math classes. We will cover topics from pre-algebra including writing expressions, solving equations, finding slope, writing the equations of lines from tables and graphs, solving real world problems using algebraic skills. Students should be in the process of, or already completing pre-algebra or standard 8th grade math. Student will be given daily pre assessment to see what they already know about a topic, along with a short lesson covering the basics, and lots of time to practice problems and ask questions both individually, and with the group.

I'm Mrs. Rebecca. I have a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics with a minor in Secondary Education, and have experience teaching learners in multiple subjects from age 3-18. I have over 10 years experience teaching in a traditional classroom setting, where I was a substitute teacher, dance coach, and taught high school Mathematics. Math, English, and dance are the 3 subjects that I love to teach, and I am excited to work with your student to gain confidence, and feel motivated to learn. I live in Tennessee with my husband and 2 children.
I love to make learning fun and to be silly and get my students laughing. I'm known to bust out in song or drop a funny voice just to make sure my learners are engaged and attentive. I take teaching and encouraging students very seriously, and promise to be prepared, and do my best to encourage your student where ever they are beginning their journey.
