She is, very often, available for help during enrichment and after school. Almost every single math topic is reviewed in class and she sometimes gives extra days for students to take advantage of and ask for help. If you are struggling in her class, she will always repeat that it is encouraged to advocate for your own help because she and lots of other teachers will not chase you down if you are constantly receiving poor test scores. Homework is 1 point for each assignment, so dont stress too much if you ever forget. However, HW is easy give-me points that allowed me to pull my grade up from Bs and some Cs on my quizzes. Just beware that throughout the year, the assessments will become slightly harder for both IAG and A1.
