Our approach includes both in-person and online learning, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of math concepts. Here, every 8th grader gets the tools and support they need to succeed in math and beyond.
Aligned with school standards, our curriculum is designed to help students succeed beyond the classroom.
At Genie Academy children will learn all the important math subjects, starting from linear equations and advancing to more complex topics like exponential and radical equations. We'll also cover functions, scatter plots, and other important math concepts.
Here are the subjects we cover:
Skill Assessment
We begin with an assessment of your child's current math skills. This helps us understand their strong points and what they need to learn.
Customized Lesson Plan
Then, we create a personalized lesson plan. This plan is focuses on the areas they need the most help.
Math Teaching
Then, we start teaching math in an easy way. We use different methods to make sure your child understands and enjoys learning.
Concluding Progress Test
At the end of the program, we have a test to see how much your child has learned. This shows us what else they might need to work on.
