About

Hey guys! Along with my Pre-Algebra/Algebra 1 series, here's one for Algebra 2! It's never too early/late to start learning, so why not join?
Prerequisites: Algebra 1 recommended, at least be learning Quadratics (if you haven't already).
We're going to be covering
-Polynomials (polynomial arithmetic, factoring, remainder and factor theorem, solving equations, features of graphs)
-Vectors
-Complex Numbers
-Rational Functions
-Exponents/Logarithms (Arithmetic, Algebra, and Graphs)
-Function Transformations
-Linear Transformations using Matrices -Modeling Each session is an hour to an hour and a half. We will have sessions each Tuesday and Thursday. At the end of each session we will test our knowledge with a Quizz. All of my sessions have slides that I share with learners, along with quizlets and related resources. Homework is optional but recommended and we go over it at the beginning of each session briefly. All of the resources (slides, homeworks, etc. is organized on a google sites which I share with everyone). 

YOU CAN JOIN AFTER THE SERIES HAS STARTED!

This is going to be a lot of fun, are you ready?

A little about me: I'm about the biggest Indie fan there is, I almost exclusively watch (John Hughes>>) 80s movies or the upcoming Star Wars series, and I read sci-fi in my spare time. I tutor for the sake of those aha moments, and have taken Multivariable Calc, Linear Algebra, Real Analysis, and Complex Analysis. Who knows what I'll tutor next, hope to see you soon.
