About
We'll go over the full course of algebra 1 using the chapters outlined in the Openstax textbook Elementary Algebra 2e and Intermediate Algebra 2e. This series is suitable for learners who have completed the pre-algebra course.
Starting on August 13th, 2024 and ending on August 31st, 2024, in each week, there will be three 90-minute sessions on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays covering key concepts. We'll finish all chapters for Elementary Algebra 2e during the summer. There will also be a 90-minute session on Sundays for office hours where you can ask questions and review concepts. More make-up sessions and office hours may be provided by messaging me.
We'll go over chapters in Intermediate Algebra 2e during the school year. Sessions during the school year will be scheduled according to learners' needs!
Note: some questions in the assessments are in or inspired by the Openstax textbooks Elementary Algebra 2e and Intermediate Algebra 2e.

Hello everyone! My name is Aarav T. I discovered SchoolHouse while exploring the wonderful world of online learning and have gotten obsessed. I am currently working on several passion projects including co-founding an academic-competition subworld and have already aided in the establishment of a slack channel. I am currently learning Pre-calculus and am very competitive! If you are ever interested in math competition prep, or any general math contact me! (+DM me if you want to play some chess!). I am tutor in Reading & Writing, Enrichment, Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, History, Statistics, and Computer Science.
