Course Description
Algebra 1A is designed for those students, young or old, who need a thorough course in Algebra 1 or introductory algebra. You may ask questions by email on all lessons or problems in the class. I personally answer all email daily. Few online classes offer this service.
All grades and comments/replies to email are returned within 24 hours. This online course is equivalent to 1 semester of high school Algebra 1 or 1/2 of Introductory Algebra in college. There is a sequel to this class, Algebra 1B. The same book is used; no need to buy another. These two courses will prepare you well for your first college course. This class is very comprehensive; there are 30 lessons and 6 tests in Algebra 1A.
If you are a high school student that needs to review or move ahead in math then please consider my classes.
If you are planning to attend college and need to review your algebra then consider my online classes.
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 visit my web site for a free placement test and evaluation or to contact me. Susan Johnsey. Google knows me. Just give it my name and algebra.
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 my own children for over 16 years.
Math is a process that requires logic and problem solving abilities. 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. Some people learn quickly some do not, but all need practice.
I have chosen a textbook (it has been in publication for over 15 years) that is excellent for several reasons. It contains hundreds of examples and thousands of problems to work. The book is required for the class. For all examples, the answers and the steps to work the problem are given . The answers to all odd problems are also given. At the end of each chapter is a review and a test. The answers to these are also given. The organization and layout of the book is very good.
The latest edition of this book is used in several universities. I use the 3rd or 5th or 6th edition which can still be found on the internet at a used book price. Sometimes the books are slightly used sometimes they are almost new with varied prices between $20 to $35 that is including shipping. Write me for information about ordering the book.
Most colleges offer this class, but do not give college credit for it. Why pay an enormous price for a class for which you can not receive credit? The knowledge of Algebra 1 is what you need so that you may then enter into a college credit algebra class. This class is very affordable and will be well worth your money. It is much cheaper than private tutoring or a college class.
Please consider my classes for yourself or your child
or your grandchild.
Let me know if you have more questions. Google will find me or my web site. Susan Johnsey .
