...past, the tests don't want memorization of times and places but the use of evidence to answer questions and draw conclusions. The math is around 55% algebra so that might need some review, but it is mostly Algebra 1 and, I promise, is manageable. You can do this. Hopefully, I can help.

...semesters. I loved working with students one on one and in a group setting.
