Follows Saxon Math Curriculum
In Algebra 2, homeschooling students and parents realize they need help. As a homeschooling parent of about 20 years and a current math teacher (both online and at a learning center), I understand this need. I am passionate about providing instruction to help students master math topics. I taught Saxon math to my own kids and have 30 years of experience teaching Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, and Precalculus in the classroom and tutoring. This includes 8 years of online instruction.

This class is taught in English.
- In the words of John Saxon, "Algebra is not difficult. Algebra is just different." Students need time to learn new things. After class, each student should leave class with a foundational understanding of the daily topics.
- Students will be prepared to complete practice problems on their own. I recommend that they complete the practice set (labeled with letters) as soon as possible. Then they should complete the numbered practice problems.
- Ultimately, I want students to have confidence and begin to love math, like I do. My goal is to see a smile of achievement.
I have been a certified high school math teacher for many years. I currently teach high school math at a university model school. My undergraduate degree is math education. My master's degree is in Educational Technology and Online Learning.

Ideally, the students should own the solutions manual and learn to check their own work. Work should be reviewed by the parent according to the parent's instructional goals.Mastery Evaluation
