Class topics can be found in the table of contents here: 
https://www.christianbook.com/saxon-math-87-third-ed-student/9781591413202/pd/793206 - I am not affiliated with this website nor am I suggesting it, I am only showing the table of contents. 

Guardians should let me know if they would like to be aware of participation (or lack of participation), video on/off, etc, in class. 

Camera/Video: I prefer the camera to be on the entire class time so that I can see from their facial expressions if they are understanding the concepts or not. With video off, if the learner is not replying, I do not know if they are confused or distracted. I prefer video on with all of my math courses, but it is not required.

Refund Policy: 
All of my semester courses are set at “moderate” refund policy. 
Full refund until a week in advance, or within 24 hours of purchase. Then 75% refund within the first week (of the first class). 

I will give homework suggestions and encourage learners to grade work so they can see what mistakes they made and learn from their mistakes.  

I love math and making it simple for learners!
