Assessment
The learner's progress is assessed by how well the learner participates in the interactions during class.Class Experience
US Grade 9 - 12
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 your topic or choose to go with the schedule below. It's helpful if you can send me the trouble spots and assignments ahead of time. Jan 3 - Jan 9 Week 1 - Introduction to Trigonometry : Angles, Degrees & Radians, Special Right Triangles Jan 10 - Jan 16 Week 2 - Introduction to Trigonometry : Unit Circle Jan 17 - Jan 23 Week 3 - Introduction to Trigonometry : Definition of Ratios Jan 24 - Jan 30 Week 4 - Introduction to Trigonometry : Reciprocal and Quotient Relationships Jan 31 - Feb 6 Week 5 - Introduction to Trigonometry : Beyond Pythagorian - it's identity Feb 7 - Feb 13 Week 6 - Graphing Trigonometric Functions : Graphing Sine and Cosine Feb 14 - Feb 20 Week 7 - Graphing Trigonometric Functions : Graphing Trigonometric Functions Feb 21 - Feb 27 Week 8 - Graphing Trigonometric Functions : Shifting Sine and Cosine Feb 28 - Mar 6 Week 9 - Graphing Trigonometric Functions : Graphing Tangent Mar 7 - Mar 13 Week 10 - Graphing Trigonometric Functions : Modeling with Trig Functions Mar 14 - Mar 20 Week 11 - Inverse Trigonometric Functions : Inverse Sine Mar 21 - Mar 27 Week 12 - Inverse Trigonometric Functions : Inverse Cosine Mar 28 - Apr 3 Week 13 - Inverse Trigonometric Functions : Inverse Tangent Apr 4 - Apr 10 Week 14 - Inverse Trigonometric Functions : Solving Equations Apr 11 - Apr 17 15 - Inverse Trigonometric Functions : Solving Equations with Technology Apr 18 - Apr 24 16 - Trigonometry of General Triangles : Area of a Triangle Apr 25 - May 1 17 - Trigonometry of General Triangles : Law of Sines May 2 - May 8 18 - Trigonometry of General Triangles : The Ambiguous Case May 9 - May 15 19 - Trigonometry of General Triangles : Law of Cosines May 16 - May 22 20 - Trigonometry of General Triangles : Applying Law of Sines and Cosines May 23 - May 29 21 - Trigonometric Identities : Solve Equations using Basic Identities May 30 - Jun 5 22 - Trigonometric Identities : Addition and Subtraction Identities Jun 6 - Jun 12 23 - Trigonometric Identities : Double Angle Identities Jun 13 - Jun 19 24 - Trigonometric Identities : Half Angle Identities Jun 20 - Jun 26 25 - Matrices : Define a Matrix Jun 27 - Jul 3 26 - Matrices : Add and Subtract Matrices Jul 4 - Jul 10 27 - Matrices : Multiplying Matrices Jul 11 - Jul 17 28 - Matrices : Inverse Matrices Jul 18 - Jul 24 28 - Matrices : Use Matrices to Solve Systems Jul 25 - Jul 31 28 - Matrices : Translations and Area Aug 1 - Aug 7 28 - Conics : Circles Aug 8 - Aug 14 28 - Conics : Parabolas Aug 15 - Aug 21 28 - Conics : Ellipses Aug 22 - Aug 28 28 - Conics : Hyperbolas Aug 29 - Sep 4 28 - Conics : Solving Systems of Non-Linear Equations Sep 5 - Sep 11 28 - Vectors: Complex Numbers : Complex Numbers Sep 12 - Sep 18 28 - Vectors: Complex Numbers : The Conjugate Sep 19 - Sep 25 28 - Vectors: Complex Numbers : The Complex Plane Sep 26 - Oct 2 28 - Vectors: Complex Numbers : Polar Form Oct 3 - Oct 9 28 - Vectors: Vectors : Define Vectors Oct 10 - Oct 16 28 - Vectors: Vectors : Add and Subtract Vectors Oct 17 - Oct 23 28 - Vectors: Vectors : Scalar Multiples of Vectors Oct 24 - Oct 30 28 - Vectors: Vectors : Magnitude and Direction of Vectors Oct 31 - Nov 6 28 - Vectors: Vectors : Problem Solving with Vectors Nov 7 - Nov 13 28 - Probability : Permutations and Combinations Nov 14 - Nov 20 28 - Probability : What's the Probability?

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
