Before I tell you about this private tutoring time, let me share what the parents of my students have to say about it: "Ms. Kitty is so patient with Christopher. He has gone from failing grades on his exams to 85-100 on his last two. He even asked me to sign him up for twice a week." "The teacher was really patient with my son. We will definitely be back weekly." So, how will we structure our time together? Your learner gets to decide what the topic is. Maybe there's a quiz or test coming up. Perhaps some specific problems with the SAT Prep. Or perhaps one of my Boom! Nailed It! Linear Algebra focus topic classes have your student needing extra attention beyond what your student can get in a class with other students. Pick your topic and request a time. It's helpful if you can send me the trouble spots and assignments ahead of time. Here is a list of linear algebra topics that might fit what you need. Go along the schedule below or choose one of these or bring your own work. June Solving Equations : Linear Equalities Solving Equations : Linear inequalities Linear Function : Interpreting linear functions Linear Function : Linear equation word problems Linear Function : Linear inequality word problems Linear Function : Graphing linear equations Linear Function : Linear function word problems Systems Equatns : Systems of linear inequalities word problems Systems Equatns : Solving systems of linear equations Systems Equatns : Systems of linear equations word problems July Solving for x : Refreshing/strengthening skills needed for 2nd semester Functions : Range, Domain, and Functions Functions : Piecewise and Step Functions Functions : Functions and Exponents Functions : Transformations Functions : Absolute Value Functions and Exponents Exponents : Simplifying Radicals Exponents : Laws of Exponents Exponents : Multiply Monomials & Binomials Exponents : Perfect squares and Multiplying trinomials Factoring : Factoring using GCF Factoring : Factoring Trinomials August Factoring : Factoring and Quadratics Factoring : Factoring Trinomials - Special Cases Factoring : Difference of Squares and Difference of Cubes Functions : Introduction to Polynomials Functions : What is a Parabolic Function (Quadratics) Functions : Plotting Quadratics Functions : Standard, Vertex, Factor Forms Solve for Roots : Zero Product Rule Solve for Roots : Completing the Square Solve for Roots : Quadratic Equation Policy for missed classes: Outschool, like any other school, tutoring or private instruction arrangement, has policies about missed classes. As my own policy of grace, when there is illness or an emergency, I allow for one missed lesson each semester before defaulting to Outschoolās policies. I donāt typically allow for unexcused missed classes.

I've been certified in the public schools for teaching math in middle and high schools. I received additional certified training for gifted and talented learners. I taught math for sixteen years and I've been a personal SAT tutor for seven years. My students have typically raised their scores between 100 and 300 points. As a chemical engineer and project management professional in the world of business consulting and information technology consulting, I've completed over five levels of college calculus and applied mathematics and used these math and computing skills throughout my career.
The students I have taught had varying learning abilities that ranged from one with pronounced learning disabilities to gifted and talented. When it came to PSAT's and SAT's, each of them with impressive improvements in their scores.
It can be done! I used a focused approach. We honed in on trouble areas, really understood the underlying math concept, and drilled for mastery.Reviews
