Your learner gets to decide what the topic is. Maybe there's a quiz or test coming up. Perhaps Pre-Calculus focus topic classes have your student needing extra attention beyond what your student can get in a class with other students. Pick from the following topics It's helpful if you can send me the trouble spots and assignments ahead of time. Angles, Degrees & Radians, Special Right Triangles Unit Circle Definition of Ratios Reciprocal and Quotient Relationships Beyond Pythagorean - it's identity Graphing Sine and Cosine Graphing Trigonometric Functions Shifting Sine and Cosine Graphing Tangent Modeling with Trig Functions Inverse Sine Inverse Cosine Inverse Tangent Solving Equations Area of a Triangle Law of Cosines/Applying Law of Sines & Cosines Solve Equations using Basic Identities Addition and Subtraction Identities Double Angle Identities Half Angle Identities Define a Matrix Add and Subtract Matrices Multiplying Matrices Inverse Matrices Use Matrices to Solve Systems Translations and Area Circles and Parabolas Ellipses and Hyperbolas Solving Systems of Non-Linear Equations Complex Numbers The Conjugate and The Complex Planes Polar Form Define Vectors Add and Subtract Vectors Scalar Multiples of Vectors Magnitude and Direction of Vectors Problem Solving with Vectors Permutations and Combinations What's the Probability? Expected Value Probability Distributions
Learning Goals
At the end of this course, your student will be able to say, "I know Pre-Calculus! I can do vectors, matrices, trigonometry, the unit circle, conicals and probability!”
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Parents should make sure their learners are ready by making sure they know linear Algebra, Analytic Geometry, and quadratic equations.
Supply List
As the teacher, I will supply the information needed for class. I will be using Kahn Academy's resources on Algebra and point the learners to specific videos and practice problems on that page. As a teacher who has done this many times before, I can tell you that using a web resource in place of a textbook far-better prepares a student for his/her future academic and professional career. In college and the real world, nowadays, information is readily available if someone knows how to access it. All of the same information that is in textbooks are now available on credible free websites. Students should also have a pencil, and graph paper. A T!-84 or higher level calculator is encouraged and needed for some of the work in this class.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

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.
Rest assured, students finish my classes and turn to their parents and say, "I finally get it!" Here are some reviews from classes here on Outschool to show what I mean...
From CT -
Love this teacher! My kids are requesting more of her classes. Thank you teacher Kitty!
Energetic and patient teacher. I accidentally signed up my younger son with his older brother and she made the class interesting for both of them and they asked to join another class of teacher Kitty. Thank you !
From William-
Wonderful class. The class speed was just right, and our daughter was able to follow along relatively well. She benefited greatly from this opportunity to reinforce her understanding the solving quadratic equations. Thanks!!!
From Dillon-
This the second linear equation class my son took from Teacher Kitty. My son felt he learned a lot on this subject and took very useful notes, and gained a lot more confidence than when he just started learning it.
From Mary -
I am really pleased that our first lesson at Outschool was such a fantastic one. Kitty is really good and my son loved that he could understand her clearly (initially worried as he is not American or in America ) I observed that she really took her time to explain terminologies and she gave the class more time to really grasp the lesson. My shy son eventually came out of his shell and contributed to the class. We are looking forward to more classes with her.Reviews
