Course Description for College Algebra in ONLY 30 days !

The CLEP College Algebra course is aimed at making you an expert in solving basic algebraic operations; linear and quadratic equations, inequalities, and graphs; algebraic, exponential, and logarithmic functions; and miscellaneous other topics in algebra. CLEP Algebra contains approximately 60 questions to be answered in 90 minutes. 

 

 

The CLEP Albegra classes include the Pass The CLEP Exam Guarantee . Sign up for the paid class, attend every class session, and complete all of the assigned work. If you don’t pass the CLEP, you can retake the class again for free until you do. I am extending the guarantee to include two hours of FREE individual instruction for any student who doesn’t pass the exam. Click here to join classes

 

Areas covered include:

  1. Algebraic operations                   (25% or 15 questions)
  2. Equations and inequalities           (25% or 15 questions)
  3. Functions and their properties      (30% or 18 questions)
  4. Number systems and operations  (20% or 12 questions)

 

You can refer to the detailed official exam syllabus here.

 

After the 30 day course, you will be fully equiped and confident to pass the College Algebra exam and gain valuable course credits. Eliminating your fear of all things Algebra, meeting helpful classmates and an awesome tutor are additional benefits ;).

 

This course is aimed at working and busy individuals and sessions will take place only on weekends. After 30 days or 5 weekends you will ace College Algebra.

There will be three hours of classes a week (1.5 hours each on Saturday and Sunday), with reading and homework and two full length sample papers that you will be expected to work on during the week. Students will be encouraged to collaborate on an online forum, moderated by the tutor. Students will also have the opportunity to confer with the instructor individually outside of scheduled class sessions.  

 

Hard work and diligence from you and a bit of guidance from me, and the world of algebra will bow before you :)

 

This course will be run via the edufire live online teaching platform.  

 

The entire course will cost you ONLY $200 (10 classes for $20 each).

Hey friends :)

 

I am Kamal Das; more commonly referred by my initials “KD” (now that easier on the tongue, right!! )

I just LOVE to teach and have been tutoring for 20 years now since I was a school. I started teaching formally as a tutor for the past 5 years.

 

I focus on math and teach all grades and for all tests inlcluding GRE/GMAT/ SAT/CLEP. I regularly teach topics ranging from basic arithmetic to advanced calculus.

 

My key interest is in making math concepts easy to understand and remember; and to make you share my love and enthusiasm for the subject.

 

  • Perfect scores in GRE math and analytical section; 97 percentile in GRE verbal.

670/677 in TOEFL
