1 hour per week. With each new topic I provide drills with details on how to solve on a near-pod. I also provide an assessment, the scores of which learners can deliver to their parents for tracking and transcripts.Assessment
If parents request, I can provide them a brief report at the end of the semester. Students are providing score page reports of their assessments each week and can summarize in a table for Professor. Upon parent request she can check their reports and provide a score report for parents to use in transcripts.Class Experience

Other Details
Parental Guidance
Students should be at least middle school level. Students who have not had geometry or Algebra II might struggle more with those concepts. Parents should be aware that these students will still benefit greatly with these lessons but the amount of time spent on these topics can't possible replace a full blown course. The concepts will be taught simply for the purpose of being able to tackle the questions appropriately on the SAT but not to the point of understand Algebra II and Geometry in detail.
Supply List
Paper, pencil, and a brain ready for thinking fun - A TI-84 or higher level calculator is also needed. Students also may want to invest in a drawing pad. If they would rather not that is fine as I can write on the screen while the kids dictate their steps for solving problems.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

No outside sources are needed.

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.
