For a quick description see the video above. 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 white board. 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. NOTE : Students must have a reasonable amount of academic maturity to enroll. NOTE: Instructor reserves the right to change and modify content. ########################################################### NOTE: If no one shows after 10 minutes, class is canceled. No Make Ups, No Refunds, No Exceptions ############################################################
Syllabus
8 Lessons
over 8 WeeksLesson 1:
Combining Like Terms Advanced Version
In this 50 minute class, the first 20 minutes will be used in explaining concepts and working detailed examples for students. The resultant 30 minutes will be used for students to practice exercises. Immediate feedback will be given along with explanations and or corrections. Students will practice
combining like terms. Ex. -3XY + 10XY, -17X^2YZ - 80x^2YZ etc.
This skill reinforces combining like terms at a higher level and deepens the students' understanding of algebra.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from University of Houston
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.
