Algebra I Rescue

Failing Algebra I doesn't need a semester to fix. It needs the right eight sessions.

One-on-one online tutoring built for one situation: your student is behind in Algebra I and there's a test, a report card, or a final coming up. No open-ended hours. No guessing what's actually broken. A plan with a finish line.

Most tutoring re-teaches the lesson. That's rarely the actual problem.

A student failing a unit on linear equations usually isn't failing because of linear equations. They're failing because a gap from two years ago — negative numbers, fractions, the distributive property — never closed, and every new topic sits on top of that crack.

Standard tutoring papers over it by walking through tonight's homework. It feels productive and doesn't fix anything, which is why so many kids "get tutoring" all semester and still fail the exam.

The first session is a real diagnostic — not a pretest, a conversation and a short set of targeted problems that isolate exactly which prerequisite skill is missing. Every session after that is built around closing that specific gap, not re-explaining Monday's lesson.

What the eight sessions actually look like

Every session is a video call with a shared digital whiteboard, so your student writes out problems in real time and I can see exactly where the thinking breaks down — the same as sitting side by side at a table.

One

Diagnose

A free 15-minute call, then a short diagnostic problem set that pinpoints the exact prerequisite skill causing the trouble — not a guess, a specific answer.

Two

Close the gap

Sessions three through six target that gap directly, then rebuild forward into the current unit so classwork starts making sense again.

Three

Test-ready

The last two sessions run timed practice on the actual upcoming test material, so the last thing your student feels before the exam is confidence, not cramming.

Who's teaching

I have a degree in Mathematics and I'm currently completing a Master's in Finance. I think about problems the way an actuary or an analyst does: find the exact input that's wrong before you touch anything else. That habit turns out to be exactly what struggling Algebra I students need — not more repetition, but a correct diagnosis.

I tutor a small number of students at a time by design, so every package gets real attention instead of being squeezed between a dozen others. Session times are available across Central and Eastern hours, so scheduling flexes around your family's routine rather than the other way around.

Sessions held online over video call with a shared digital whiteboard, evenings and weekends. Materials provided — no textbook required. Open to students anywhere in the U.S.
