Discount
A $25 deposit received by June 1 reserves a place for your student. Those who enroll by June first will receive a
$25 discount for the fall semester.
Class Size
I must have a minimum of 5 students per class to offer the semester rate of $135 ($110 with discount). If fewer than 5 students enroll, I will give the enrolled families the option of paying a pro-rated amount: $180 each per semester for three students per class; $140 each per semester for 4 students per class;
Materials
You will need to purchase the Teaching Textbooks edition for whichever class you
are taking. You do not need to purchase the CDs unless you want to. These books are
available from a variety of sources including Sonlight, Timberdoodle, and CBD.
The prices are usually the same, but some sites offer free shipping. I will have a few
used textbooks for sale from former students. I will provide you with printed pages for your math
notebook. Please bring $4 for the notebook on the first day of class. You may add it
to your tuition check if you would like.
Class Procedures
In each class session, we will cover two or three lessons, go over questions you may have from
the homework, and get you started on the next homework assignment. You will take
Chapter Tests at home. I will check to see that homework is
completed and will grade and keep a record of Test grades. At the end of each semester, I will send home a record
of Test grades, completed honors assignments, extra-credit project points, and a final average/grade.
Grading
Homework will be checked at each class session, and a “homework” grade will be given for each semester. This grade is based on diligence in completing assignments, not on getting each and every problem correct. At the end of each semester, one quiz grade may be dropped, and the homework grade substituted in its place.

Extra Help
If at any time you are having difficulty understanding how to work a problem, please let
me know. I don’t want you to be frustrated and discouraged. You may even give me a
call between classes. Often we can figure it out together on the phone. If need be, we
will set up an extra one-on-one session.
