About

Having trouble solving word problems? Not to worry, as this series takes a deep dive into the many word problems you might encounter in Pre-Algebra and Algebra I. This series is not just a lecture on how to solve the word problems, but also fosters critical thinking and problem solving skills between learners by forming reasoning behind their approaches. The session targets percent, speed, variable, and scientific notation problems.

My favorite academic subjects in school are math and history. I'm joining schoolhouse to connect with people from different perspectives and provide learning assistance tailored to their learning abilities. I have prior experience by tutoring my younger brother.
