1 hour per week. I will provide practice problems for each Lesson as well as a key for students to check their answers. I am also available to answer individual questions if needed.Assessment
If the student requests an assessment, I will provide a cumulative assessment after the completion of all five lessons. The student will submit their responses and I will provide feedback and a letter grade for the assessment.Class Experience

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have taught high school mathematics for over 30 years. After helping many students over the years learn about the Unit Circle, I can anticipate many of the questions they will have. We will discuss the connections of their previous knowledge to the new material in a way that will help them make sense of all of the aspects of the Unit Circle.Reviews
