Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
This is a follow up to Mastering PreAlgebra And Algebra Essentials. The way I teach this skill is very easy to learn and your child will be prepared for success in Algebra.

I will show students how to do an exercise on the whiteboard. They will learn by actually doing example exercises during class. I will repeat with another exercise and will explain as many times as needed until the students are ready to do the exercises by themselves. Once started, I will check their answers for accuracy and follow up with any necessary explanations. I encourage all participants to try as many exercises as possible. I follow up the class with an upload of homework with the solutions.

The course breakdown is as follows:

Week 1: Solving equations  by addition and subtraction:  X+1 = -2 , X - 1 = -5
Week 2:  Solving equations by  division:  -2X = -8
Week 3: Distributive property + equations: 3(X-5) - 4(X+4) = 0
Week 4:Solving equations with two sides: - 3(X-5) =  -4(X+4) 
Week 5: Advanced equations: 3(X-5) - 4(X+4) = 5 +  2X - 8(X - 7)
Week 6: Same as week 5, but with fractions.
Week 7: The zero product property: (x-5)(x+6)(x-1)= 0
Week 8: Introduction to  basic factoring: 2X-8 becomes 2(X-4)

Why Me?

As a private tutor since 1995 I learned that students want a math teacher who is friendly, non-judgmental and is interested in their success in math.
Students want concise and simple explanations.

 I have developed my own method of teaching this skill. 
I have successfully taught this skill to hundreds of students .
Once you learn it you will never forget it. 
After watching Khan Academy and You tube videos on this topic I have seen nothing like the method I teach.
This skill is essential in order to learn Algebra properly.
I provide quality instruction to your child, you will be glad you chose me as his/her math teacher.
