Where this fits in the math journey

Built for the Geometry → Algebra 2 transition

The standard high school math sequence moves from Algebra 1 through Geometry and then into Algebra 2. Even students who did well in Algebra 1 have spent an entire year focused on Geometry — and Algebra 2 picks up right where Algebra 1 left off. A full year away from algebraic thinking means concepts fade, and students who don’t refresh over the summer often find themselves struggling in the first weeks of Algebra 2.

Is this right for my student?

Who this course is designed for

This course is built for any student heading into Algebra 2 — whether they struggled in Algebra 1 or aced it. A full year of Geometry means most students haven’t thought about algebraic concepts in 12 months. This course brings it all back before school starts, so your student walks into Algebra 2 confident and ready rather than scrambling to catch up in the first weeks.

✓ Students who struggled in Algebra 1

If Algebra 1 was tough, this course rebuilds the foundation from the ground up before they face Algebra 2.

✓ Students who aced Algebra 1 — a year ago

Even strong Algebra 1 students spend a full year in Geometry. A summer refresh keeps those skills sharp heading into Algebra 2.

✓ Students preparing for Algebra 2

Algebra 2 picks up right where Algebra 1 left off. Students with gaps will fall behind quickly without a strong foundation.

✓ Students who want to rebuild confidence

Math confidence matters as much as the content. Small group instruction gives students the space to ask questions without pressure.

What your student will learn

Course curriculum

This course targets key concepts from Algebra 1 in four focused weeks. Each session targets a key concept area that students commonly struggle with — rebuilding understanding from the ground up so your student finishes the summer confident and ready for Algebra 2.

Solving equations & literal equations Algebra 1

One-step, multi-step, and equations with no solution or infinite solutions — plus solving formulas for a specific variable, a skill that shows up constantly in science and higher math.

Writing linear equations & graphing lines Algebra 1

Slope-intercept and point-slope form, graphing from equations and two points, horizontal and vertical lines — everything students need to read and write the language of lines.

Absolute value & quadratic graphs Algebra 1

Graphing V-shaped absolute value functions and parabolas, identifying vertices, intercepts, and key features — the foundation for function analysis in Algebra 2 and beyond.

Factoring Algebra 1

GCF, factoring trinomials when a=1 and a≠1 — the skills students need to solve quadratics and simplify expressions throughout Algebra 2.

What families say

Real results from real students

★★★★★

“My son spent a whole year in Geometry and by the time Algebra 2 started it was like he’d forgotten everything. After this refresher he actually understood what he’d been missing. His teacher said he came in more prepared than most of the class.”

Lisa K.

Parent of rising 10th grader

★★★★★

“My daughter said she finally understood slope after week one. Four weeks later she was doing problems she couldn’t touch before. The small group made all the difference — she wasn’t afraid to ask questions.”

David M.

Parent of rising 11th grader

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Passing a class and truly mastering the material are not always the same thing. If your student passed with a low grade, struggled on tests, or can’t clearly explain key concepts, a refresher is worth it. Even students who did well benefit — a full year of Geometry means most algebraic skills have faded significantly.

A laptop, tablet, or desktop computer with a working camera and microphone, and the free Zoom app installed. A stable internet connection is required. Mobile phones are not recommended as the screen size makes it difficult to follow along with the materials.

Each enrolled student receives a unique, personal Zoom join link registered to them specifically. Sessions use a Waiting Room — no one enters without host approval. Sessions are limited to registered participants only so no uninvited guests can join.

A full refund is available if your cancellation request is submitted at least 7 days before the first scheduled session. Cancellations submitted fewer than 7 days before the course start date are not eligible for a refund. Once a course has begun, refunds are not available for unused sessions. Please see our full Refund Policy for complete details.

This course is designed for students who have completed Algebra 1 and Geometry and are preparing to take Algebra 2 — typically rising 10th or 11th graders depending on their school’s math track. If you are unsure whether this course is the right fit, feel free to reach out before enrolling.

Each section is capped at 6 students. This is a firm limit — we do not exceed it. Small group sizes are central to how we teach. When a section fills, enrollment closes and the section is listed as unavailable.

If your student misses a session, course materials for that week will still be available. Please reach out to us at c.wikfors@atravelingteacher.com and we will do our best to accommodate on a case by case basis. We do not offer makeup sessions as a standard policy for group classes.

Yes — all sessions are recorded for internal quality assurance purposes. Recordings are retained by A Traveling Teacher Education LLC and are not distributed to families as a standard practice. In the case of a missed session, we may share a recording at our discretion on a case by case basis.
