US Grade 9 - 12
In this self-paced flexible course, students will learn high school pre-calculus. They will take notes on pre-recorded lessons and ask questions if they have any about homework on the classroom page or via messages. Students can message anytime for help, and I will provide recorded explanations and guides. The class utilizes external videos, guides, and worksheets that I provide. Weekly check-ins and homework submissions with images, scans, or PDFs are expected. Quizzes and unit tests are...

Homework Offered
Weekly homework assignments are provided to learners to strengthen their understanding of concepts and enhance their confidence while retaining the information. Homework will be assigned either through Khan Academy or as a PDF worksheet provided by me. The aim is to ensure active engagement and reinforce learning outside the class.2 - 4 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
The assignment of a grade is contingent upon the completion of ALL assignments by learners.Grades Offered
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
By simply having an email account, learners can utilize Khan Academy as a supplementary learning resource for tracking progress and taking unit tests. This allows parents to oversee their child's advancement and actively partake in their educational expedition. Please note that all communication regarding our classes must take place exclusively on the Outschool platform.
