The FUNda-Mentals of Math - Hey, Can You Do This Math? Semester Class Sessions
What's included
40 live meetings
16 hrs 40 mins in-class hoursHomework
1 hour per week. Homework worksheets are offered to parents as an added benefit. When the student works the homework and sends it to me, I will check it. When the parent desires, I will grade homework assignments as I graded for school.Assessment
Homework assignments will be given the 1st week, with a quiz being given the 1st class of the second week and a test the 2nd class. These will be graded and given to the parents for their assessment.Grading
I will grade all assignments for the parents and maintain the grades. At the end of the semester the grades will be averaged as such: homework grades will be averaged together as 1 quiz grade; quiz grades are averaged together as 1 test grade; all tests grades are then averaged together for a final grade.Class Experience

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Pensacola Christian College - no ending time or cessation of degree
My teaching experience is as follows: Advanced K5; 1st through 6th-grade phonics, reading, and math program; 5th grade all subjects; 7th through 8th-grade math, Algebra I and II, Consumer Math, Geometry, Speech, Typing, Shorthand, and Spanish I; 7th - 12th grade English and Speech; Remedial College English, College English 101 & 102, History of Civilization 101 and 102, American History 101 and 102, and American Government 101 and 102. In addition, I taught for 3 1/2 years at the college level for a small college as the director of their education department.
I teach this class regularly as a 40 week class, but due to parent request designed it as a semester course. I am teaching an Algebra I class, as well as several sections of Remedial Math 102: Mastering the Fundamental Concepts. I am also teaching a course for Consumer Math. I have tutored a 5th and 6th grade math classes. My desire and goal are to help our young people learn how to master these basic concepts that have slipped by them genuinely.
