This is a class for students entering a high school level math class such as Algebra 1, Geometry, or Algebra 2. Students will receive instruction in selected topics in their course. For Algebra 1, students will receive support and instruction for linear relationships, functions, and graphing. For Geometry, students will receive support and instruction for angle relationships, triangles, quadrilaterals, parallel lines, coordinate geometry (involving slopes, midpoints, and distance) and an introduction to proofs For Algebra 2, students will receive support and instruction for exponential and logarithmic relationships, rational relationships, and polynomials. This class meets once a week. Week 1: July 24 Solving Equations with Triangles Week 2: July 30 Parallel Lines on the Coordinate Plane and Special Angles of Parallel Lines Week 3: August 6 Distances and Segments Week 4: August 13 The Concept of Proof

Bachelor's Degree in English from Dartmouth College
My name is Jaime and I am a long-time (20+ years) math teacher of middle and high school students. My favorite courses to teach are algebra and geometry. In Outschool, I am offering preparation for the specialized high school test given yearly to 8th graders for entry into one of the 8 specialized high schools in New York City that use the SHSAT as their only admission criterion. As a Brooklyn Tech alum and teacher of SHSAT math prep, I know about the rigor necessary to do well on the test and to succeed at one of the schools. I am offering regular tutoring for any mid-elementary to secondary math level as well.
After Brooklyn Tech, I attended Dartmouth College, an Ivy League college. Being able to succeed and graduate early from Dartmouth as an English major started with my preparation in elementary school and middle school, but attending Brooklyn Tech, majoring in the Math/Science Institute major there, solidified my love for math and I pursued it as a career after college with a degree in Math Education from City College as a NYC Teaching Fellow, then later in the Mathematics Leadership program at Bank Street College.
I believe that every student can learn math, if they have an open mind and a supportive, knowledgeable instructor who offers skill-building, but also problem solving. Every student who learns with me increases confidence and ability.
When I am not teaching students online, I am teaching full time at a public high school, listening to various genres of music including old school R and B, classical, pop, and mostly gospel, cooking, and spending time with family and at church. Nowadays I am learning about new ingredients for making smoothies, and new ways to engage students in mathematics learning post-pandemic.
