(Math Facts) Pre Algebra, Algebra 1, Algebra II, Geometry
With the new emphasis on “real world” or “integrated” math, many educators agree that the skills that go into solving math problems, pure and simple, are being lost. Chyten’s Math Skills Review Programs are comprehensive and intensive courses in which the ability to solve equations is brought back to its rightful position, front and center in the student’s math mind.
It includes five 2 hours sessions. (10 hours total)
Cost: $500.00
Please call (949) 242-0050 for session dates.
Effective Writing Program
Writing is not a lost art form. It is buried deep inside every student’s creative mind. Chyten’s Effective Writing Program emphasizes freedom from convention while operating inside a conventionally‐structured school environment.
Our theory is that a five paragraph essay can be as much a work of art as a creative writing piece. As for creative writing, we teach students that expression is at least as important as convention.
It includes five 2 hour sessions. (10 hours total)
Cost: $500.00
