6 Series

Slow-paced Algebra I support

Ended Tue, Sep 19, 2023

This series is not for intermediate/advanced learners and will not replace the full Algebra I course. Rather, it is intended to be a support for those who did not take or have gaps in prerequisites, who are struggling due to some other reasons, or just want to have a better understanding of fundamental ideas. Therefore, you should expect frequent discussion of concepts from Prealgebra or earlier units. You are welcome to join at any moment of the series, but please withdraw if you wish to leave to allow other learners to sign up.
Learners are expected to actively participate via chat or microphone and be prepared for a lot of practice. I recommend taking notes or at least having something to write on (because we do solve many problems each session!).

Must-have Study Skills That Really Work (for High School & College)

Ended Thu, Jul 27, 2023

If you:
- can't focus on your homework and are constantly distracted 
- constantly procrastinate, leaving your most important assignments for the last day and spend nights studying for tests 
- are tired of useless TikTok advice from A+ students who are presidents of 10 clubs and spend 16 hours a day studying "aesthetically"
- want to manage your time more efficiently
- or just want to prepare for the fast pace of life in your senior year of high school or college
this course is for you!

We will NOT discuss: 
- how to study 12 hours a day and not get tired - what color your highlighters should be and how many diaries you should keep 
- the "secrets" and "hacks" that will increase your productivity by 345%

Instead, we'll learn how to implement a simple and reliable system into our lives that will help you spend LESS time studying and still learn MORE. This system takes effort and time, but will save you dozens of hours in high school and college, and will help save your sleep and mental health.

We will learn: 
- where procrastination comes from and how to fight it 
- how to plan your assignments so that you don't forget about anything and spend MINIMUM time on planning 
- practical tips that will help you fight distractions and focus on work 
- effective study and time management techniques 
- how to make this system a habit, not to burn out, stay motivated, and maintain your physical and emotional health throughout the year (and especially before exams)

All you need is a cup of tea and one hour of attention per session! Taking notes is not required, but highly recommended.

Learning Algebra 1 over the summer

Ended Sat, Jun 10, 2023

We will try to cover most of the Algebra I content in one month (maybe a little bit more), beginning with basics. We will focus more on harder topics later. This series was created to fulfill a learner's request, but is open to anyone seeking a head start on Algebra 1 this summer.
You can join even in the middle of the series and you are always free to ask any questions!

Students are expected to:
• Solve problems during the lesson
• Be prepared to a lot of practice
• Participate in the learning process (via chat or microphone)
• Ask questions if they don't understand something (via private chat or microphone)

No video/mic required!

This series is part of a larger project, where several tutors host sessions on Algebra I every day.
The topic of the next session is published the day before in group chat.

How To Study Effectively & Stop Hating School (Or College)

Ended Sat, Apr 8, 2023

Do you stay up all night before exams? Do you hate just the thought of homework? Do you do everything the last day (if not the hour) before the deadline? Do you reread your textbook five times and still can't get an A? Then this experimental series is for you!

In five sessions, I'll tell you how to study less and learn more, without the (not-so-helpful) advice from TikTok and garbage app ads. I will NOT teach you:
- how to be a PERFECT student
- how to study 12 hours a day without getting tired
- what color your markers should be and what flowers should be on your desk
- what kind of smoothies to drink before school so that the magic vitamins will solve your math test for you

I'll tell you how to maintain a balance between your academic and personal life so that you get less tired and spend more time doing what's important to you. I will tell you not about "tricks", but a complete system that you will follow to study LESS. I won't give you a magic pill that will solve all your problems, but a detailed manual based on real, science-tested facts and techniques.

Students are expected to:
- be in a good mood
- drink tea and eat cookies (optional)
- sometimes answer simple and fun questions (don't worry, no one will ask you to solve integrals)
- camera and mic are not required, but please use reactions or chat, so that I know you didn't fall asleep

Visualizing and Making Sense out of Calculus

Sat Nov 11, 2023, 4:00 PM

Have you ever wondered how limits are (actually) defined? Why the L'Hopital's rule even work and what does it mean? Why the differentiating rules work the way they do?
In this session, I will try to visualize (without overloading you with meaningless formulas and problems) some popular Calc 1-2 topics and give you a chance to see the beauty of calculus. I also hope that some of these visualizations will help you make sense of what you are doing at school (or college).
Also, I would be happy to just talk about your experiences with calculus, discuss what and how I learned it, and give you some practical advice if you wish.
You are encouraged to draw some things with me to "feel" what we are doing and to talk/chat with me, but don't expect too much problems. This is more like a story time rather than another boring class.
Please note that the session may be longer or shorter, and you are welcome to leave early if you need.

How to Deal With Distractions & Study Effectively

Sat Apr 22, 2023, 5:00 PM

The session will have 2 parts: distractions and effective learning techniques, with 5-7 minutes break in the middle. Each part will be about 30 minutes and you can attend either only one part, or both. The first part starts at 13:05, while the second at 13:35.
I will not tell you some boring stuff like "put away your phone" and "highlight important concepts" - only scientific and practical advice. I will go over the MOST effective techniques that actually work, and also show you some useful and free apps.
Learners are expected to:
- Be in a good mood
- Drink tea (optional)
- Answer a few simple questions during the session just so that I know they didn't fall asleep :)
