9 live meetings
9 in-class hoursHomework
2-4 hours per week. In order for each student to determine their own level of understanding of the Middle (Junior High) School Math course I will provide free of charge and outside of the sixty (60) minutes class questions to be answered. This of course is optional and solely based on the individual student. I would urge ALL students to answer as many questions as possible so that they would know where they need to improve, but it is optional.Assessment
Every class will have questions to be answered and graded outside of the sixty (60) minutes class. This questions and answers will be done free of charge, as it will not be part of the sixty (60) minutes class.Grading

Intermediate Level
The specific features provided by the documents used in my presentation are as follows:- 1. It acts as a companion to the student who needs to be familiar with the content of each topic and with the skills required to master the content. 2. It presents the material in a well-sequenced and coherent form, so that critical understandings are addressed, while developing a sound foundation. 3. The material has aesthetic appeal through the use of colour, diagrams and graphic displays. This will facilitate all learning styles, especially the visual and multi-sensory learner. 4. There is a wide range of worked examples to guide the students on how a topic is tested at the examination level. These examples vary in terms of content and difficulty level. 5. The examples also provide model solutions, so that students are guided in how to construct proper responses questions. This session will take nine (9) classes to complete. It will deal with the following:- 1. Class 1 & 2 – Angles & Angles Properties 2. Class 3 & 4 – Plane Geometry 3. Class 5, 6 & 7 – Measurements 4. Class 8 & 9 – Geometrical Constructions I will teach each of the nine (9) classes for forty (40) minutes each and then I will open the class for any questions to be asked. If there are no questions I will continue teaching the class. This class will be presented using a PDF document that I will share via ZOOM (Outschool). I will share the pdf document at the end of the class via Outschool 'email system'. Students should have a basic understanding of Math, but it is not necessary. As an Engineer I will explain Math in a VERY SIMPLE manner that each student will be able to learn Math from 0% to 100%.

During the course of seventeen (17) years I have compiled a complete Middle (Junior High) School Math tutorial that I have assembled from various text books to keep up with the changing syllabus, as well as to cater for the various learning levels of every student that I have taught. I have tutored to students that were getting Fs and Ds elevated them to Bs and As.
