LESSON WORKSHEETS: A worksheet accompanies every live lesson to provide learners with the opportunity to practice each concept.

SUMMARY: We meet every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday for one hour to review skills that are crucial to success in Algebra 1 for nine weeks. Whether you are worried about Algebra or just need to review this class is perfect for you! LEARNER EXPERIENCE: Before each class, the lesson materials will be posted in the classroom.

THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS: This class uses Google Docs for providing Lesson worksheets. Each worksheet is shared via a view-only link that allows learners to access the document without signing in to their Google Account. The Lesson worksheets may be printed, scanned, and sent back to me using the "message teacher" option in the classroom. If your learner has a Google Account, they can complete the work using Google Docs and send me a view-only link of their work. This ensures that no information is shared between parties and is in compliance of Outschool's Safety Policy.
Β
STANDARD REFUND POLICY: "Refund within 24 hours of payment until your next meeting or lesson access begins."
PAYMENT OPTIONS: This class uses both upfront payments and weekly payments. The upfront price of this class is $350 (approximately $13 a lesson). The weekly price of this class is $55.56 a week (approximately $18.50 per lesson, which is the currently recommended rate per hour for enrichment classes).
EMERGENCIES: Despite our best efforts, emergencies happen and can result in changes to the class schedule. I always plan to have my classes as scheduled. If I have to miss class (loss of power/internet), I ask that learners log into the Zoom meeting and remain in the waiting room for 10 minutes so that Outschool can mark their attendance. There is a one-week gap between all of my classes to add make-up sessions during the same time. If your learner cannot attend a class, please reach out so I can adjust the assignments' due dates. All class recordings are available in the classroom. I expect learners to watch the video lessons for the classes they miss and send a copy of their completed worksheet to receive feedback.
