Series Details

About

This series will be treated as close to a formal class as possible; the only difference being that it follows a mastery learning method (meaning that it allows ALL students to be caught up with everyone else at once) as opposed to traditional learning (where everyone must follow the same pace as everyone else). This means that several quizzes and tests will be assigned throughout the series to secure a 5 as best as possible on the exam. And in order to execute this idea of a formal yet mastery learning class, I will only allow us to advance to next concepts if everyone scores a 90% or higher on these assessments to make the series as easy sailing as possible.

Studying for an AP exam requires a lot discipline, and so you are expected to be prepared to attend the 5 sessions a week (45 minutes each session), although it's fully expected that you'll miss a few sessions here and there.

Because of this mastery learning method, you will be withdrawn if you have too many difficulties scoring over a 90% on an assessment (here, "assessment" collectively refers to quizzes, tests, midterms, and finals). If this does happen, i might make another series dedicated to those who've been withdrawn from the series so that you can catchup on your own pace without the guilt of slowing everyone else down.

I can always schedule a Catchup/Office hours session by request if you were absent for a session/need extra help with a topic.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Please do not miss more than five sessions within a month and message the tutor if you cannot make it!

About the Tutors

I am a rising 11th grader. I have a passion for computer science, astronomy, and history. I am joining Schoolhouse to be able to share some of my knoweldge with others who need it the most, while at the same time trying to get help in areas I need help in as well. Science education in the U.S. is really dumbed down and slow, so I taught myself some advanced topics for an 11th grader thanks to how accessible all this information is nowadays, especially Khan Academy! I speak English fluently; read and speak Spanish really well, although I can't speak it too fast because I start stuttering; and am learning French (A2)

Hi! I'm Alex and I’m a rising high school senior from New York. I specialize in all topics of mathematics up to Calculus II. I love doing math and helping others with math. I've been tutoring for a little under two years and have joined Schoolhouse this past January! With Schoolhouse, I hope to extend my assistance to as many people as I can!
