Summer Mini-Courses
When students advance in grade level, it's a given that they have less time to study during the school year. This is why students who want to get ahead or catch up take advantage of their free time in the summer. Whether it is diving into review/mastery of the previous year, gaining a preview into next year’s math, or studying fiercely for the ACT/SAT’s, you can trust MATH Tutoring on the Go! to help you meet your goals.

Courses
Math Foundations & Number Sense
Designed for 4 hours per week for 6 weeks over the summer. By the end of the 6 weeks, the student will be proficient with operating with basic facts and with partial amounts (fractions). They will also be comfortable with various mental math tricks which will foster improved number sense, confidence, and speed.
Pre-Algebra
Designed for 4 hours per week for 6 weeks over the summer. By the end of the 6 weeks, the student will have mastered operating with signed integers, like terms, and fractions, decimals and percents. They will be able to distribute, perform advanced order of operations problems, apply formulas and evaluate expressions with specified values, exponents and square roots. They will have a working knowledge of how to “speak math” and, most importantly, they will learn the basic equation-solving sequence frontwards and backwards. This alone will promote a highly successful Algebra experience than will enable success in school.
Algebra IA
Designed for 4 hours per week for 6 weeks over the summer. By the end of the 6 weeks, the student will know the ins and outs of solving basic linear equations in a single variable. Then they will learn linear functions and systems of equations, and finally exponent rules. They will also get a solid introduction to polynomials and the infamous FOIL technique for multiplying binomials. This course’s strength lies in its depth-over-breadth philosophy: better to learn a few things really well than a bunch of things not-so-well. This class is perfect for students taking Algebra next year. It’s also great if you took Algebra last year, but still feel shaky on things you learned. I don’t want these skills to just “look familiar” to you. I want you to OWN them.
Algebra 1B
Designed for 4 hours per week for 6 weeks over the summer. By the end of the 6 weeks, the student will know the ins and outs of solving quadratic equations and graphing their related functions. They will become a Factoring Wiz, and will be able to confidently factor out a common factor, factor a trinomial, factor a difference of squares, factor an expression by grouping. They will know how to perform operations on radical expressions and rational expressions and get a healthy introduction into solving rational and radical equations. This class is perfect for students taking Algebra next year, as long as you’ve taken Algebra 1A mini-course, or know these skills already. It’s also great if you took Algebra last year, but still feel shaky on things you learned. I don’t want these skills to just “look familiar” to you. I want you to OWN them.
Algebra 2 Preview
Students usually take Algebra 2 after a year of Geometry, during which their Algebra skills may have gotten rusty. I will freshen up all Algebra 1 skills and give a preview of some of the more important concepts that the student will be seeing in Algebra 2, so that there are no surprises. With this course recently under their belt, students will feel self-assured going into their Algebra 2 class- they’ll be fresh on Algebra 1 skills as they come up again throughout the year, and unfazed by concepts such as matrices and synthetic division because instead of being brand new and foreign-looking to them, they’ll have just learned them with me!
Algebra 2 Review
Did you take Algebra 2 last year and your head is spinning? Many students struggle throughout Algebra 2, because their energy is spent re-learning Algebra, so they don’t have a lot of mental space for the things that are being introduced for the first time (conic sections, matrices, right triangle trig, synthetic division). They end the year in survival mode and don’t really feel like they have a handle on the material at all. Summer is a great time to slow and down and sort out all that static from the crazy spring semester. I will help you make sense of it all in a way that will help you with your next high school math class, with ACT/ SAT and with End-of-Course Exams.
