Thank you for your interest in the summer math enrichment program. I will attempt to explain the geometry program. If you need further explanation feel free to contact me.
● How much does the course cost?
The course cost $17.00 per hour. The class meets three hours per week. The first and last week must be paid at the time of registration. The book fee must paid (all books are the property of the student) at the time of registration.
● Are the weeks flexible?
Yes, all students are self paced and are expected to work at home. Class time will be used to teach concepts, check homework, address deficiencies, develop study skills, and expand math skills.
● Does my student have to come every week?
No, some students take vacations at various times during the year or get sick. You only pay for the weeks that he attends. However, I would like to know if a student can not make a session for any reason. That way, I would not worry. The only requirement is that you pay the first and last week in advance and to pay for the books which are his to keep.
● How long is the course?
The summer math enrichment program is a self paced course which teaches the following concepts:

As you can see, the course is comprehensive; and, since it is self paced, the course is designed to roll over into the next school year. By incorporating homework assistance during the school year, the math program will enrich what the student learns in the classroom as well as accelerate his performance.
Finally, all parents are encouraged to participate with their student at any time during any math program.
I hope that that I have addressed your concerns. If not please feel free to contact me at 336●887●7464 or brucealston@hotmail.com
