No, but the Aleks(R) will do an initial assessment. Students have the option to move into the another class (up or down), as needed.
The typical sequence is: Pre-Algebra –> Algebra 1 –> Geometry –> Algebra 2 –> Pre-Calculus.
Please email me if your student is following a different math path.
I use Aleks.com
Aleks is an AI-based website. It learns what the student already knows, so it works with students on the topics they are ready to learn.
Yes. All classes include additional “above-grade-level” material, similar to a what a public-school, honors-level class would cover.
Yes! I highly encourage students to use their calculators, especially to check their work.
I recommend the Casio fx-300ES PLUS, because it has a large display and handles fractions beautifully.
For Algebra 2 and above, I highly encourage students to use the Desmos app because it is easier to understand than a handheld graphing calculator.
If your student needs a graphing calculator, I recommend the TI-84 –OR– the Casio fx-9750
The tuition covers access to the Aleks.com website, weekly group learning sessions, plus individual tutoring outside of class, as needed.
Other class supplies (such as a calculator and notebook) are not included.
The Aleks.com website access code is not refundable. It is due June 1st (or upon registration).
If you drop the class during the year, I will refund any other tuition you have paid, on a pro-rated basis.
Tutoring is free for my students, during the academic year, on an “as-needed” basis.
Students who are not keeping up with the material, or require significant outside help, may be dropped from the class.
I do not offer tutoring for students who are not enrolled in my classes.
All of my classes are Honors level. They are not centered around any specific test.
