Course Description
Algebra 2 (first part) is designed for those students who need a thorough course in Algebra 2 or Intermediate Algebra. You may ask questions by email on all lessons or problems in the class.
All grades and comments/replies to email are returned within 24 hours.
This self-paced online course is equivalent to 1 semester of high school Algebra 2 or 1/2 of Intermediate College Algebra. There is a sequel to this class, Algebra 2 (second part). These two courses will prepare you well for your first college course.
This class is very comprehensive. If you choose to take the second class also then it will require the purchase of a textbook. I can help you find one at a reduced price.
You must know Algebra 1 to take this class or have already taken Algebra 2. If you are not sure you know Algebra 1 then Please visit my web site for a free placement test and evaluation or to contact me.
I am a state certified teacher with 30+ years of experience and I have a Master's degree in Mathematics from the University of Alabama in Birmingham. I also have 21 semester hours of post-graduate work. I have been teaching online for over 5 years. I homeschooled my own children for over 16 years.
Math is a process that requires work through problem solving. Some people learn quickly some do not, but all need practice. Rules of math build upon each other. Understanding or memorizing rules is not sufficient. You must be able to use them well to successfully move ahead.
I answer all questions within one day.
I have had numerous adult students complete my classes. They needed to relearn algebra because they were making career changes or wanting a promotion.
I have also had home school, private school, and public school students complete my classes. I have had a few to complete all 6 courses and then go right into college algebra or precalculus at a university.
Please consider my classes for yourself or your child or your grandchild.
