MATH LEARNING COACH
A math learning coach is a specialist who teaches strategies for math problem-solving, study skills, organization, and critical thinking as well as math tutoring. With this level of one-on-one support, our students can easily stay on track and succeed academically!
Math Mini Prep Program
Preparing for the placement test or a developmental math (DM) course? Want to review the basics before class begins? HCC offers online, self-paced Math Mini Prep for free.
Online classes are not facilitated, but still provide students with an intensive review of basic mathematics to college algebra at no cost. Pre- and post-assessments and math study skills are part of the review.
Free classes coming soon on Canvas.
Quick Math Prep Program
Quick Math Prep classes provide students with a review of Basic Math to College Algebra. The four areas of preparation classes are Basic Mathematics, Pre-Algebra, Introduction to Algebra, and Intermediate Algebra. Classes take place throughout the year, so students will be able to review material before taking a Developmental Math (DM) course or before taking the HCC Mathematics Placement Test (MPT). Students will review questions that are commonly found on the MPT which can help place students in a higher DM course or out of DM courses at HCC.
