Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
Welcome to Saxon Math 7/6 - in this 16 week long course students will complete the first half of the Saxon Math 7/6 book. 

As a former homeschooler, and a seasoned homeschool teacher, I have 20 years of experience utilising Saxon Math. I find it to be the most comprehensive math curriculum available and I am excited to offer it to the homeschool community on Outschool. If you are looking for inexpensive places to purchase the text books for this class, please message me and I will be happy to assist. 


Learners are expected to complete all mixed practice work, as well as the benchmark tests throughout our semester together. Mixed practice will not be graded, however students are more than welcome to submit problems for review.

Focusing on algebraic reasoning and geometric concepts, Saxon Math Homeschool 7/6 teaches math with a spiral approach, which emphasizes incremental development of new material and continuous review of previously taught concepts.

This Saxon 7/6 textbook covers concepts such as whole number concepts and computation; arithmetic algorithms, geometry and measurement; elapsed time; fractions, decimals and percents; powers and roots; estimation; patterns and sequences; congruency and similarity; and statistics and probability. Students will specifically learn to add three-digit numbers, subtract numbers with re-grouping, read time, write numbers, estimate arithmetic answers, divide with two-digit answers, multiply three or more factors, simplify fraction answers, use a decimal number line, and more.

Class needs 5 learners to launch. 

✨ LESSONS CONTAIN✨
🌎 a warm-up (with facts practice, mental math, & problem-solving exercises)
🌏 an introduction to the new concept, lesson practice exercises where the new skill is practiced,
🌍 mixed practice exercises, which include 25-30 old and new problems.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello Outschool! I’m a homeschool graduate, homeschool teacher, and pianist!  

Proud to be an Outschool ACE educator! 

I teach Political Science, Spanish, Economics, Maths, Latin, and History at homeschool co-ops in the United States and the United Kingdom and I have run a private music studio for over 10 years, where I teach Classical piano and Music Theory.

At university I studied Political Science and Economics - and I hold a Bachelor’s Degree. Immediately after college I began working on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C., but found I was being called to be a teacher. Outside of teaching, my work experience includes extensive political work, including state and local campaigns, where I have organized large-scale fundraisers, shaped political messaging and run comprehensive marketing campaigns and demographic research. I continue this work in my spare time, as it is something I truly love. 

☀️ MY HOBBIES ☀️
In my spare time I enjoy hiking, farming, & travelling the world. I also love to learn languages (Spanish, French, Hebrew, Latin, Italian!) and learning about different cultures - I have been to more than 30 different countries, and next stop is…Croatia!

✅ MATH LESSONS ✅
Is your learner falling behind or struggling with math? Have you discovered your child has learning difference? I specialize in teaching mathematics in these instances. Together we will rebuild foundational maths concepts such as number sense and arithmetic concepts, and restore your learner’s confidence! 

🤩 LATIN LESSONS 🤩
I  have been teaching Latin for over 10 years to homeschoolers around the world! Latin enriches lives and makes learning languages more accessible to learners of all ages. For the last year I have been developing my courses by traveling all over the Roman Empire filming original footage. I also participated in a 2 week long archaeological dig at Vindolanda, uncovering the secrets that were left behind by the Ancient Romans and filming more special and amazing footage.
 

🎶 MUSIC LESSONS 🎶 
I take great pride in my piano studio! Over the past decade I have had the privilege of teaching over 100 children. My goal is to ensure that each student is able to grow to love and understand music. Every week, I work hard to tailor each lesson to my student’s unique learning style. I have a degree in piano performance, and believe in a holistic approach to the study of music, and music theory is an important part of that equation! All of my music students study music theory, and they will testify that it makes them better musicians! 

🌈  LEARNING DIFFERENCES 🌈 
Growing up, I was homeschooled student from K-12, with two disabled parents, which led me to be an independent and hard worker. I finished my High School at 16, and graduated college Summa Cum Laude.  I come from a neurodivergent family and have years of experience with students who have learning differences such as: ASD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia, visual impairments, and hard of hearing. I know ASL 🤟 and am comfortable incorporating this into my lessons

👩‍🏫 TEACHING STYLE 👩‍🏫 
My goal is to take education out of the traditional “classroom” setting and make life-learning a possibility for every student. I never sought out to be an educator, but my experience in university and the professional world pushed me into the field of education - it’s not a job, it’s a passion - and I never “work” a single day!

I firmly believes that by making topics interesting, relatable, and fun - students can learn anything, at any age. I hope to turn your children into life long learners, who view every encounter as another opportunity to learn and grow as people. 

☀️ MY HOBBIES ☀️
In my spare time I enjoy hiking, farming, & travelling the world. I also love to learn languages (Spanish, French, Hebrew, Latin, Italian!) and learning about different cultures - I have been to more than 30 different countries, and next stop is…TAIWAN!

💫 Policies as of April 2023 💫 
* If Zoom kicks out the teacher, please wait up to 5 minutes. 

* If Zoom kicks out the whole class, please wait up to 5 minutes while trying to re-enter. If you are unable to get back in, please message me. I will work transfer you to another section. 

* Class recordings are upon request, only 

* Requests for transfer will only be accepted with a minimum of 24 hours' notice. If you request a transfer with less than 24 hours' notice, I will send you the class recording. This is necessary because, if you transfer without enough time to fill the spot you are transferring from, you are getting two spots in the class but only paying for one.
