Algebra 1 Intensive: Equations & Inequalities
4 weeks of live, small-group lessons on Zoom that fix the mistakes costing your student points. Works alongside any curriculum.
Nov 9 – Dec 3 · Mondays & Thursdays · Daytime 12 pm ET or Evening 6 pm ET · Max 10 per group · Step Up For Students accepted
Hi, I'm Albina — founder of Albina Love Math. I grew up learning math the Soviet way: rigorous, step-by-step, no shortcuts — and it's the foundation everything I teach is built on.
I hold a degree in Mathematics and Mechanics from a classical university, and honestly, I've wanted to be a teacher since I was a kid — "playing school" was my favorite game long before it was my job.
Today I bring that same rigor and warmth to every student I work with — live, on video, with real conversation and real problem-solving, not just an app telling them if they're right or wrong.
I've taught at the Russian School of Mathematics, presented at the Florida Council of Teachers of Mathematics (FCTM) conference, and I'm an approved Step Up For Students provider.
What we cover in 4 weeks
Two live sessions a week, for 4 weeks.
Two time options: Daytime 12 pm ET (great for homeschoolers) or Evening 6 pm ET (after school). Pick yours when you pre-register. Small groups on Zoom, max 10 students each. Every session is recorded, so a missed day is never a lost day. Thanksgiving week: students send questions by Wednesday and get a recorded video walkthrough on Thursday.
Monday — live lesson
60 minutes. New topic, worked step by step, with practice in class.
Thursday — live Q&A
45 minutes. Students bring questions from this course or from their own curriculum.
Homework with feedback
Worked by hand, full work shown. I point to the exact step where the mistake happened.
Placement test, start & end
Parents get a short progress report showing what improved.
Not app taps. Real handwriting, real thinking, real feedback.
Tapping the right answer in an app doesn't teach math — it teaches guessing. Every student in our course works problems out by hand, step by step, because that's how the logic actually sticks in the brain.
Live lesson
The teacher walks through the concept in real time, with questions welcome.
Worked by hand
Every homework problem requires full work shown — not just a final answer.
Brought to Q&A day
Stuck problems come to the weekly Q&A — reviewed live, not just marked wrong.
Fixes the real gap
Because we walk through the actual work, feedback targets the real mistake, not just the answer.
Is this intensive right for your student?
- Your student is taking Algebra 1 now and struggles with equations
- They finished this topic but still make sign errors and “careless” mistakes
- They’re heading into Algebra 1 and want a strong start
- You want live teaching from a real teacher, not another app
Algebra 1, one module at a time.
Take one module to fix a weak spot, or take them all for full-year Algebra 1 support.
