US Grade 10 - 12
As a professional math teacher of over 30 years I am confident that I can improve your math ability and confidence when taking standardized tests.  I have taught SAT/ACT prep course at the schools where I teach and would love to help your as well.

The SAT/ACT math section is a crucial indicator used by universities to determine student preparedness and readiness.

While the math on the SAT/ACT can be intimidating, there is no need to fear it.  There are effective techniques that can dramatically improve your SAT/ACT math score.

Math topics covered in this course:
Day 1:
Use multiple steps to simplify an expression or equation or solve for a variable.
Solve for a variable within functions or systems of inequalities with two variables (usually x and y).
Determine whether a given point is in a solution set or what value would make an expression have no solution.
Select a graph that shows an algebraic equation, or, on the flip side, choose the equation that describes a graph.
Indicate how a graph would be affected by a given change in its equation.
Day 2:
Solve equations by factoring or using other methods to rewrite them in another form.
Add, subtract, multiply, or divide two rational expressions or divide two polynomial expressions and simplify your results.
Select a graph that matches a nonlinear equation or an equation that corresponds to a graph.
Determine the equation of a curve from a description of a graph.
Figure out how a graph would change if its equation changed.
Day 3:
Solve multi-step problems to calculate ratio, rate, percentage, unit rate, or density.
Use a given ratio, rate, percentage, unit rate, or density to solve a multistep problem.
Select an equation that best fits a scatterplot.
Use tables to summarize data, such as probabilities.
Estimate populations based on sample data.
Use statistics to determine mean, median, mode, range, and/or standard deviation.
Evaluate tables, graphs, or text summaries.
Determine the accuracy of a data collection method.
Day 4:
Determine volume of a shape.
Apply properties of triangles to determine side length or angle measure.
Apply properties of circles to measure arc length and area.
Solve problems with sine, cosine, and tangent.

This class will meet once a week for 4 weeks.

 You will also learn:
1.  The format of the SAT/ACT math section.
2.  How to prepare and plan.
3.  Different strategies to solve even the most confusing problems.
4.  Tricks and tips to solve a problem much faster than you thought possible.
5.  The best approach for continuing to improve after this course.

During each session, extensive time will be spent sharing practical techniques and applying them to solving SAT/ACT math problems.

This course will improve your SAT/ACT math score.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Wisconsin Teaching Certificate in Mathematics
Learning is so much fun and helping others learn is a passion of mine.  

I have been teaching professionally for over 25 years.  I have been very fortunate to have taught in four different countries in public, private, and online schools.  My experience has allowed me to develop different teaching approaches, appreciate different learning styles, and acquire a portfolio of solid best practices to help you learn the subject material.

We all can learn, and we all want to learn.  Sometimes support, direction, and instruction are needed for optimal understanding.  I can provide that.  I enjoy teaching and would love to help you.

I keep learning.  Presently, I am trying to retain my French and Spanish, learn some Korean, and have gained a keen interest in learning how to code.  It keeps my mind active. 

Join me and we can learn together.  I look forward to working with you.
