Life-long learners, unite! In this ongoing course, students will review (or learn for the first time) concepts typically learned in Algebra 1. Maybe you didn't quite catch on to a certain concept, maybe you had to miss a bit of school for a personal reason, or maybe you have finals coming up and want to be sure to score your best. This class is great for review and to keep the concepts fresh on your mind! The pacing and content of this course is for current Algebra 1 students through Algebra 2 students. These lessons are in the form of "I do, we do, you do." This means the teacher first demonstrates the concepts, then the students to gradually move towards more ownership and independence at their own pace. We work together to solve problems, and gain confidence while doing it! Topics to be covered: Week 1 (Week of 1/28): Simplifying Rational Expressions Week 2 (Week of 2/4): Adding and Subtracting Polynomials Week 3 (Week of 2/11): Multiplying Polynomials Week 4 (Week of 2/18): Solving One-Variable Equations Week 5 (Week of 2/25): Solving Literal Equations

Teacher expertise and credentials
Texas Teaching Certificate in Mathematics
The courses I offer center around core math topics in pre-algebra and algebra. I like to focus on the important building blocks students need to master in middle school and early high school in order to succeed in high school and beyond. Some of these topics cover proportionality, equations, inequalities, basic geometry, algebraic expressions, and arithmetic.
I am a certified teacher for grades 4-8 math and have over four years of professional experience teaching math to students ranging from grades 3 to 12. I taught seventh grade math while getting my credentials and taught my first year of seventh grade math at an amazing school. Though I left full-time teaching when I became a mother in 2019, I have continued to pursue my passion for teaching math part-time via various platforms.
My philosophy that drives my teaching is that every student is a unique person who is worthy of my time. I have the patience to work with students who are struggling in math and the ability to push students who are naturally inclined towards math. My goals when working with students are to teach and encourage.
When I'm not teaching/tutoring I can be found snuggling my babies, spending quality time with friends and family, and playing disc golf with my wonderful husband.
