Class Experience
This is the Outschool equivalent of a regular Algebra study hall, where peers and a competent tutor are together for an hour at a time, able to explain and encourage one another in the pursuit of Algebra. We meet once a week, though you can sign up for multiple sessions if you want more. (We used to meet twice a week, but a majority of students only came once a week, so I've changed the schedule). The expectation is that students who join this study hall are enrolled in an Algebra...
Students are expected to be taking Algebra somewhere else (or here on Outschool), and this Study Hall is intended to support that. Participation in Algebra Study Hall should improve a student's performance in their Algebra course.
I've tutored Algebra for decades and am comfortable teaching students that "hate math."
As a Study Hall, there is no specific homework other than what is assigned by your instructor. Occasionally, videos or other teaching aids may be shared, but viewing them is not mandatory.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
The hope is that participation in Algebra Study Hall will support a student in their other Algebra class.
55 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
Algebra teaches logical thinking skills that can be quite troublesome for the unprepared parent.
If I'm struggling to explain a topic, I often refer to Khan Academy videos, or material available via YouTube. I'm also a huge fan of Desmos' Graphing Calculator online
