By the end of this class, your learner will be able to say:
"I am better at Combining like terms with negative coefficients, Combining like terms with negative coefficients & distribution, and Combining like terms with rational coefficients"

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.

No homework will be assigned for this class.

The learner progress is assessed by how well the learner participates in the interactions during class. 

15 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.

No outside sources are needed.
