This series is part of a group of series that I will be hosting in different math subworlds to cover all the math material needed for the ACT. During this particular series, we will cover all the algebra topics that appear in the Math section of the ACT test. This course is beneficial for students at different grade levels and at various scoring ranges who are planning on taking the ACT test. (Students who plan to take the SAT or wish to learn some algebra for other purposes or tests may also find this series helpful). During our weekly sessions, I will start with an explanation of the concepts needed, followed by ACT-style practice questions, and I will give some useful tips and strategies throughout the session. I always welcome any questions you may have or related practice questions you struggled with when prepping alone. NOTE: This series covers some topics classified by Schoolhouse/Khan Academy as Algebra I topics but in most textbooks as Algebra II topics. Additionally, it covers topics classified by most textbooks as Algebra I topics but by Schoolhouse as Algebra II topics. Lastly, there are topics that are unanimously considered higher Algebra/Algebra II topics that I included in this series to avoid dispersing the topics and sessions across many different series in various subworlds. If you have any comments or questions about this arrangement, do not hesitate to get in touch with me, and I would be glad to discuss it with you. A Word on My Qualifications: I have taken the ACT exam twice. On both tries, I scored 35 (out of 36) in the Math section. On my second try, I got a composite score of 35 (out of 36). I have gotten a GPA of 4.0 on all the math courses I took and I am taking, which include, Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, and AP Calculus AB.

I always welcome any questions you may have or related practice questions you struggled with when prepping alone. A Word on My Qualifications: First and foremost, I have the Algebra I certificate from Schoolhouse.world. Additionally, I have taken the ACT exam twice. On both tries, I scored 35 (out of 36) in the Math section. On my second try, I got a composite score of 35 (out of 36). During my prep, I used many resources, including the following (Math) resources: Princeton Review ACT Self-Paced Course, Prep Scholar ACT Self-Paced Course, 10 hours of ACT Turoing from Kaplan, which comes with the Kaplan ACT Self-Paced Course, the book Official ACT Prep Guide 2022-2023, the book ACT Prep Plus by Kaplan, and the book The Ultimate Guide to the ACT Math. In addition, I have gotten a GPA of 4.0 on all the math courses I took and I am taking, which include, Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, and AP Calculus AB.

We will review all of the AP Biology material during our sessions. This series is primarily aimed at students who are studying AP Biology (in school or alone at home / self-studying) and are planning on taking the AP Biology exam. I prefer that you take the material at school or do some reading about it yourself before we cover it during the session as the sessions are meant as more of a review and will be somewhat fast-paced. TEACHING METHOD / FORMAT & RESOURCES Each unit will be divided into two sessions. During each session, I will start with a review of half of the unit. I will focus on the topics in the unit that the students in the class mention they find difficult and tailor the session for the students based on their feedback. Next, we will solve and discuss some practice questions during the class itself. I will constantly include both MCQ and FRQ practice questions. The resources used will generally include Campbell Biology, CliffsNotes AP Biology, Princeton Review AP Biology, and Preparing for the Biology AP Exam: To Accompany Pearson's Campbell Biology Programs. MY QUALIFICATIONS I self-studied AP Biology and scored a 5 on the 2022 AP Biology exam. I have also taken AP Biology at school the year after I did the exam because my school started offering it only then. I hosted this series last year as well, so I have good experience in tutoring students in all topics of AP Biology.

During this series, we will cover all the pre-algebra topics that appear on the Math section of the ACT test. This course is beneficial for students at different grade levels and at various scoring ranges who are planning on taking the ACT test. However, it may be most beneficial to students who have only recently started preparing for the ACT and/or those who are scoring below 30. (Students who plan to take the SAT or wish to learn some pre-algebra for other purposes or tests may also find this series helpful). During our weekly sessions, I will start with an explanation of the concepts needed, followed by ACT-style practice questions, and I will give some useful tips and strategies throughout the session.

In addition, I have been the top student in my grade (of over 200 students) for more than six years. I have gotten a GPA of 4.0 on all the math courses I took and I am taking, which include, Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, and AP Calculus AB.

During this course, we will prepare for the Math section of the ACT test. This course is beneficial for students at various scoring ranges planning on taking the ACT test. (Students taking the SAT may also find it helpful). I will start from the basics and will gradually cover everything up to the topics found only in a few of the hardest questions. During our weekly sessions, I will start with an explanation of the concepts needed, followed by practice questions, and I will give some useful tips and strategies throughout the session. I always welcome any questions you may have or related practice questions you struggled with when prepping alone.

We will review all of the AP Biology material during our sessions. This series is primarily aimed at students who are studying AP Biology (in school or alone at home / self-studying) and are planning on taking the AP Biology exam. I prefer that you take the material at school or do some reading about it yourself before we cover it during the session as the sessions are meant as more of a review and will be somewhat fast-paced and will not cover every detail. TEACHING METHOD / FORMAT & RESOURCES Each unit will be divided into two sessions. During each session, I will start with a review of half of the unit. I will focus on the topics in the unit that the students in the class mention they find difficult and tailor the session for the students based on their feedback. Next, we will solve some practice questions during the class itself. I will constantly try to include both MCQ and FRQ questions. The resources used will generally include Campbell Biology, Biology for AP® courses by John Eggebrecht and Julianne Zedalis (OpenStax), CliffsNotes AP Biology, Princeton Review AP Biology, and Preparing for the Biology AP Exam: To Accompany Pearson's Campbell Biology Programs. SCHEDULE For the first two units (Units 3 and 4), we are going to have weekly sessions on Friday. Afterward, we will have one session every two weeks. This way we will finish all of the material on the 7th of April, leaving enough time for all of you to review for your AP Biology exam in May. MY QUALIFICATIONS I self-studied AP Biology last year and scored a 5 on the exam. I am also taking AP Biology this year in school because my school started offering it only this year.

We will cover one semester--i.e., the first four units--of AP Biology. (I will most likely create another series for the second semester at the start of the second semester of the academic year, but I will decide that for sure later on.) The series is aimed at students who are studying AP Biology (in school or alone at home / self-studying) and are planning on taking the AP Biology exam. PREREQUISISTES & COREQUISTIES There are no prerequisites for this series. (You may want to kindly note that the CollegeBoard mentions “high school courses in biology and chemistry” as a prerequisite for AP Biology.) For corequisites, it is preferable for student to be taking AP Biology at school or self-studying it. MATERIAL COVERED As previously mentioned, this series will cover the first four units of AP Biology: Chemistry of Life, Cell Structure and Function, Cellular Energetics, and Cell Communication and Cell Cycle. Below is a link to a document with the Course At a Glance provided by CollegeBoard for the first four units attached. It details the lesson titles in each unit. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LDWzzLGmKCex1k722AvOShM53HmOyLnWdVRxwIt70K0/edit?usp=sharing TEACHING METHOD / FORMAT & RESOURCES Each unit will be divided into two sessions. During each session, I will start with a general, somewhat detailed review of almost everything in half of the unit. I will focus on the topics in the unit that the students in the class mention they find difficult and tailor the session for the students based on their feedback. Also, I will be focusing on topics and ideas that the recent Chief Reader Reports state that many students seem to have difficulty with and do mistakes in questions relating to them. Next, we will solve some practice questions during the class itself. I will constantly try to include both MCQ and FRQ questions. I will give some homework that I encourage students to do, but it will be completely optional. I will assign / suggest readings from Campbell Biology in Focus (The 'in Focus' edition was written with AP Biology students in mind). I will try to attach a pdf of the assigned readings, depending on the students' needs (i.e., if they request it because they want to do the reading but do not have the book). I will also provide other resources that I personally used and found helpful. These may include questions, summaries, etc., and I may assign some of them as suggested HW. The resources may include certain pages of CliffsNotes AP Biology, Princeton Review AP Biology, Preparing for the Biology AP Exam: To Accompany Pearson's Campbell Biology Programs, and, again, I will try to provide the needed resources as pdfs. Lastly, I will likely scan the notes I have taken on Campbell throughout the whole course and attach them to students if they request them. I will have an Office Hour between each unit and the other. This session will be unstructured and solely for answering students' questions and repeating the explanation of certain topics if students need that, for example, because they missed a session or did not understand. The last session will be a Review session where we will briefly go over all of the first four units and solve some randomly ordered practice questions relating to the units covered. NUMBER AND TIMING OF SESSIONS This series will only be for one semester of AP Biology, so it will run from the 8th of September, 2022 to the 3rd of November, 2022 and will consist of 13 sessions (including Office Hours). There will be two ninety-minute sessions for each unit followed by a sixty-minute Office Hour for that unit. The first two sessions of each unit will be on Thursday at 3 PM EDT / 7 PM GMT, a week apart (i.e., one session a week). The third session of the unit, which will be an office hour, will be on Tuesday of the following week at the same time. (If you would rather have the sessions on a different day or at a different time, please mention that in the public discussion, and, though improbable, changes may be made if many students want them.) The last session of the series is a two-hour Review session. (For my qualifications, please refer to the bio in my profile. My most important qualification is that I took the AP Biology course and got a 5 on its exam.)
