...amount of creativity used to explain concepts to students with various unorthdox methods of learning leaves room for them to enjoy the experience learning the concept first-hand and learn about themselves a bit in the process. For me, the objective is for the student to become genuinely interested in a subject, especially as tough as mathematics, after having that 'a-ha!" moment of everything suddenly making sense. That is one of the major objectives I attempt...

My goal when tutoring is to not only help students learn how to get the right answer but help them understand why that answer is correct. I've found that one of the main reasons students struggle is due to a lack of interest in the material and that this can be solved by making the learning process more personal and engaging.

Pre-AP Algebra Tutoring FAQ
Pre-AP Algebra I is an accelerated math course intended for high school freshmen interested in taking AP classes later on in their secondary education. The course places a lot of emphasis on conceptual understanding and constructing a mathematical argument because these are the skills students are likely to need later in life. If you or your child are struggling to keep up with this class's rigorous pacing, Varsity Tutors can refer you to a Pre-AP Algebra tutor who can help unlock your academic success.
Here are some of the concepts and problem types that are often discussed during Pre-AP Algebra tutoring:
Linear Equations and Functions
Real Number System
Quadratic Functions
Inequalities
Exponential Functions
All of the categories above have multiple subsets of problems, so there is a lot of material to cover. While a classroom instructor can only spend so much time on any given topic, a Pre-AP Algebra tutor can concentrate on any topic until it clicks in a student's mind. If they run out of textbook problems, their tutor can always provide more. Most importantly, a private tutor can provide immediate feedback on a student's performance, enabling them to intervene as soon as it becomes clear that they need help. High school Pre-AP Algebra tutoring also affords students the luxury of working within a one-on-one learning environment. This gives both parties a chance to understand the other's needs, making it easier for students to trust their tutor while simultaneously allowing the tutor to design study sessions with their pupil's unique needs in mind.
Common Core standards also require ninth-graders to pass a standardized assessment in Algebra I at the end of their school year. The exact format of the exam varies by state, but Pre-AP Algebra tutoring is a great way to prepare. If a given student struggles with test anxiety, their tutor can help. Practice tests may also be administered to help students budget their time effectively on the actual test. Finally, the results may be reviewed to identify any areas of weakness that future study sessions could address.
