Developing Stronger
Math Foundations and
Organized Learning Skills

Presenting the fundamentals of Algebra to connect high school and college mathematics, and suggesting a consistent method for efficient and effective learning.

In this course the student who is good at math, yet feels frustrated by the memorization of endless disconnected "nuggets of information", will learn math foundations and general learning processes in a structured, cohesive way, giving them confidence in quantitative subjects in high school, college and their professional careers.

Before we talk about this transformative course, let's talk about the student it's really for:

You are interested in quantitative subjects, whether traditional STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) or the mathematical side of other fields like social sciences and business, and want to be a great student and math student.

  • You enjoy science or engineering, and get slowed down by the math, and you want a strong math foundation to support your interests while also more effectively learning your field.
  • You used to be great at math, and with more advanced classes the material became more difficult. You want to get back to your level of excellence, and realize that new approaches are needed to get you there.
  • You got by in math class in the past, and know this is going to catch up to you before long. This is especially true as parts of perhaps two school years were affected by pandemic lockdowns.

You're in the right place, now let's talk about how Foundations will transform your connection with quantitative academics.

By the end of this course:

  • Move away from the feeling of "I don't know what I do know" to having a sense of how the material being studied is structured and connected.
  • When learning a new topic in math class, see how to generalize the examples and understand the underlying derivations.
  • When assigned several similar homework questions, solve for a general equation to answer them.
  • When seeing a complex problem, be able to deconstruct it into simpler, familiar components.
  • Use both the class and the textbook to learn material more effectively and efficiently.
  • For a test, be able to summarize the material into a coherent set of notes.  Then at the end of the class, use those notes to efficiently prepare for a final exam.

Trust is Key
"Who is this person, and how can I be confident that he can help my student?"

  1. B.S. in Physics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
  2. Ph.D. in Physics (Computational Astrophysics), MIT
    1. Extensive teaching experience as both an undergraduate and graduate student.
  3. Worked in the R&D dept of a software company
  4. Freelance tutor since 2014

This course will combine some basic principles of mathematics (Algebra), physics (problem solving), and computer science (abstraction and algorithms).

It will combine learning techniques which were used effectively by both my friends and me in college and graduate school, and refined while tutoring.

Schedule

Typically, this course would be paced over around 6 weeks. Because students have different schedules and needs during December and January, the course will be released over 3 weeks, on Dec 20-27, 2021, and Jan 3, 2022.
