I'm a returning college student who hasn't taken a math class in nearly 5 years. I felt like I needed somewhere I could build on my fundamentals, so I turned to MathHelp. I started with the first ALEKS lesson on MathHelp, watching all the videos, and taking every test until I could pass with a 100% all the way up to the end of exponential and logarithmic equations, which was lesson 179. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my time using MathHelp. Topics I remember as being complicated, like logarithms, were actually very easy to understand thanks to the short video format of the lessons. Recently I took the ALEKS placement assessment and scored well enough to place into pre calculus. I’m impressed I was able to do that well, going from barely remembering the fundamentals of algebra to nearly placing into calculus. Peter Ogbuagu

I subscribed to the course for my daughter who needed extra help in algebra 2. She found it very helpful. I would say that hearing the material taught by someone other than her school teacher and having all the extra exercises available to do were the most helpful for her. I can’t think of anything you could do to make it better. Jay Warrick

I absolutely love MathHelp. I had not taken a math class in over 30 years and math has always been a difficult subject for me, so for me to be able to prep for the PERT test, place into College Algebra, and then get an A in the class - that was amazing! I have recommended MathHelp to friends and family and will continue to do so. goofy girl

I am so glad I found your program - it helped me so much. I've been out of school for over 20 years and I recently enrolled in the Kansas State dietetics program. I was freaking out over the algebra placement exam because I couldn't remember anything. After completing your program, I scored a 34 (I only needed a 21 to get into college algebra). So, thank you for your great program, I couldn't have done it without you 😃 Carie Casserino

I am a 50+ who decided to go back to school late in life. I need to take College Algebra to obtain my degree. To avoid prerequisite math classes, I needed to pass their placement test.It has been a “a few years” since I took a math class. I needed to study and searched for online courses. I came across many sites, but Mathhelp.com had the best setup, so I signed up. The course covers everything you will need to know. I went through the entire course and took the final exam a few times as reinforcement.The courses are put together in an easy-to-follow manner and provide everything you will need to pass any math test. The layout was easy to follow. The video, followed by practice, followed by the questions were so easy to follow. It is all on one page. There is no navigating back and forth. If you get one wrong, you are given a step-by-step explanation on how to get the correct answer. The reinforcement of each concept is helpful. The videos really make it so easy to learn. The three instructors are great and teach each subject clearly and in a detailed manner.Whether your child is struggling in elementary school, or you are a college student who needs some extra help, Mathhelp.com is the solution to your needs.I aced my placement test. I now feel fully prepared for the College Algebra class I'm taking next semester. I highly recommend this course. My College Algebra course went well thanks to your program. The most helpful elements to me were the multiple videos of explanations that started off extremely basic and built up difficulty. I do not learn very well when I get blasted in the face with information then an overly difficult problem. Also the practice tests helped with learning and then performing which helped me retain the lesson. tylor qualls

I was attempting to place into calculus I and I did achieve that. I scored an 85 on the ALEKS. I was a very poor student in high school just so you understand the full picture. I'm trying to catch up on things I should have had a basic foundation in back then. So it was really nice to have a refresher course on all the rules and properties of math and algebra leading up to the calculus portions. Overall, I think the material was very well put together on your site. Clear and concise. Jason Smith

WONDERFUL PROGRAM!! Our first year of homeschooling and the program we were using left my daughter in tears over her 10th grade Geometry. We switched to Math Help and glad we did!! The teachings were easy to understand and kept at a good pace, not overwhelming. She got her Geometry credit without tears!! Thank you Math Help for offering this service! Well done!! Heidi Thode

As a math-phobe, I needed as much help on the FTCE math test as could get. A teacher at my school suggested your program. I loved your back-to-basics approach to help someone like me, a 58-year-old who never liked or could do math. I found your instructions and lots of practice questions and tests to be extremely helpful. I took many of the questions over and over again to get the steps correct. I always especially had trouble with measurements and geometry, and I think your program helped ease my anxiety and confront those questions head on. It also helped me get straight in my head the positives/negatives and when they apply in addition, multiplication, etc., as well as how to take a word problem and make it into a solvable algebra equation. It was an extremely helpful program for me. Keep up the great work! Linda Ossman

That course was the absolute reason in my success of the TSIA2 test. I did pass it and can take College level algebra instead of developmental math. Specifically speaking, the quadratic equations, functions/graphing, linear equations in two variables and expressions, equations and formulas really helped. So I'd most definitely give that course a lot of credit to helping me pass. Myron Johnson (MJ's Liquid Gold)

The Accuplacer Elementary Algebra exam went really well. I was able to place into my appropriate college algebra class, and I surprised myself with my score even. I had not been in school for years and the courses on MathHelp made jumping back in so much easier. There were so many helpful elements of the course. The instructional videos and the practice exam were instrumental in helping me. Rachel Barba

I passed my college algebra course with an A, thanks to your online course! The explanation in the videos were very detailed and easy to understand; the quizzes really drove the information home into my mind. It felt good going into a quiz and being confident in knowing how to do the problem, with time to spare to check my work, then seeing high marks in my grade book after.I am an adult student, (working and going to school) coming back to college algebra from a long time away from school! I really needed a refresher.It is a vast improvement in my understanding of math (I was not too great with math in general in elementary and high school). Thank you for giving me a boost in "mathematical confidence"! Thank you so much! Victor Guanzon

I’d like you to know that I absolutely love the Intermediate Algebra program, and will likely be signing back up in January for the College Algebra course. I’m 36 years old and have always struggled with math, barely graduating high school because of it and so I began with your program for the PERT test, which allowed me to get a high enough score to pass taking a remedial course.Continuing with the Intermediate Algebra program during the semester is absolutely the reason why I was able to sustain a B grade, and I actually have my final this afternoon and I am confident I will do well.I think the reason that your program works so well is because you keep it short and to the point. All the steps are shown, you don’t use a bunch of extra words and jargon, and you keep the problems simple so the student gets a chance to perfect those before going on to more difficult ones within their actual class assignments. There were several places where the things you taught weren’t explained in class notes by my school that made a world of difference (such as clearing the radical in the denominator, or using a factor tree to factor rather just trying to guess multiples). It also helped that your course guide exactly followed the flow of the class going from chapter to chapter so I could watch my class lecture (online course), attempt some of those problems...I’d struggle, then I’d go to Mathhelp, do well, and go back to the class coursework. It was an easy lateral movement. My not getting an A in the class is simply because I make silly mistakes like forgetting signs or the simplest math errors, but I feel confident in the course and that’s simply 100% from your program.Thank you for all the help your program has offered, it’s been quite an amazing transformation for me. jennifer fromberg

Thank you so much for this algebra course!!! I am enrolled in an online college degree program at Penn Foster College. I am a Graphic Design major, but they stuck me in an algebra class. I do NOT have a mind for math, I barely made it through math in school. So this class has been devastating for me, my entire degree depends on this one class! I have never had algebra in my entire life and they put me in Intermediate Algebra right off the bat! Oh, did I mention that they do not actually teach the classes they offer, they send you the text book, and you are literally on your own. Your classes are a lifesaver! I thought I was looking at Chinese, but your step by step lessons actually made sense. If it weren't for you I would have flunked out a long time ago, and lost any chance to get the degree that I have worked so hard on. You are providing a much needed service, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Let me start off by saying how fantastic this website is. During Algebra in 9th grade, I was struggling and needed extra help. When distance learning started due to the pandemic, I was even more stressed and I needed help somewhere, this is when I found mathhelp.com. I tried the free trial and within an hour, I was highly impressed. I could go to the lesson my teacher was teaching and get extra help which was amazing and I was caught up until school ended. From there, I wanted to do even more math so I used this site the entire summer and I am taking the second half of Algebra this year. With all the work I put in over the summer, Algebra is now a breeze and I am so far ahead and am currently doing the geometry course too! This site is amazing, the presenters explain stuff very well and there's no room for confusion in my opinion. Arcade Master

I loved this program. I didn’t do Math in 13 years so I subscribed to MathHelp two months before I started my Intermediate Algebra class. I was ahead of the lessons and I would always come back to MathHelp as my primary source for understanding a topic.. explanation was clear, the teachers were awesome, my favourite was the gentleman.. he thought so clearly that I understood and then I made sure to practice and practice and practice. I received a B+ in my Intermediate Math Course Kaheila Edwards

What makes MathHelp different from other Algebra 2 websites?
Algebra 2 from MathHelp is different in the following ways.
- Depth of Instruction. Developed by a teacher from one of the top private schools in the country, the goal from the beginning was to create a world-class Algebra 2 curriculum “in a bottle.” Every example problem and every practice problem includes a complete video or audio explanation, creating the feel of having a personal math teacher guiding you through the course. If you’re a parent who doesn’t have the time, energy, or expertise to provide the Algebra 2 homework help your child needs, you can delegate the task to our expert instructors. Our focus on in-depth instruction is also ideal for homeschool parents looking to offer their child the equivalent of a $30,000-a-year private school math education for a tiny fraction of the cost.
- Richness of Features. Our program is packed with everything you need in a stand-alone Algebra 2 course. In addition to the one-on-one instruction, the course features a comprehensive grade report that automatically records student scores; background lessons to build the student’s foundation in math; diagnostic quizzes before each lesson; cumulative review; and printable extra problems, notes, and chapter tests.
What is the difference between Algebra 1 and Algebra 2?
Algebra 1 has a strong focus on equations, inequalities, graphing lines, factoring, and radicals. Algebra 2 reviews all the topics in Algebra 1, but it takes each concept to a deeper level. It also introduces new topics that aren’t covered in Algebra 1, such as imaginary numbers, polynomial division, and logarithms.
What grade do you learn Algebra 2?
Students normally learn Algebra 2 in 9th, 10th, or 11th grade. The grade level for the course depends on whether the student takes Geometry first. It also depends on the student’s ability in math. Generally speaking, Algebra 2 is a 10th or 11th grade course because students usually take Geometry first.
Is Algebra 2 or Geometry harder?
Whether Algebra 2 or Geometry is the harder class depends entirely on the student. For example, Geometry and its shapes might be easier for you than Algebra 2 and its equations. On other hand, you might find that working with figures is harder than working with variables, making Geometry the more difficult class.
Are Algebra 2 and Pre-Calculus the same thing?
Algebra 2 is the course that comes before Pre-Calculus, so the two courses are not the same thing. Pre-Calculus is a more advanced course that focuses on Trigonometry.
Can I learn Algebra 2 in a month?
Algebra 2 is not a course that you can learn in a month. It usually takes 9 months to go through the course, although the range is anywhere from 6 to 12 months, depending on your math background and abilities. No matter how long it takes, you’ll need plenty of help along the way, so it’s important to give yourself ample time to go through the course.
How do I pass Algebra 2?
If you’re wondering how to pass Algebra 2, there’s no substitute for individualized instruction. Fortunately, there are now a variety of ways to get one-on-one tutoring.
- Hire a private tutor if you can afford it.
- Schedule an online “live” tutor (i.e. Skype and virtual whiteboard), which is cheaper than a private tutor but still costly.
- Sign up for “Asynchronous” tutoring (i.e. pre-recorded video and audio instruction), which is both inexpensive and effective. Make sure your lessons include plenty of practice as well.
How do I find a good math tutor?
Let’s say you’re looking for a good Algebra 2 tutor. The best way to start is with an online search. The math tutor you find might not be a traditional one, but that could be a good thing. For example, if you find online tutoring that has been pre-recorded and embedded in an online course, it could save you lots of time and expense.
What is Algebra 2?
You can think of Algebra 2 as an extension of all of the Algebra you’ve learned so far. In other words, familiar concepts are taken to the next level, and new concepts build on your Algebra foundation.
What do I need to know for Algebra 2?
The first semester of Algebra 2 is essentially Algebra 1 with more difficult problems, so the most important thing to know is Algebra 1. The second semester introduces new concepts such as imaginary numbers and logarithms, so any exposure to these topics before taking Algebra 2 can also be helpful.
Is Algebra 2 the same as College Algebra?
College Algebra is slightly more advanced than Algebra 2, but they are more or less the same course. In fact, if you took a rigorous Algebra 2 course in high school, all of the topics in College Algebra might be review for you.
Can you take Algebra 2 online?
The best way to learn Algebra 2 online is with a program that offers video and audio instruction. You’re going to need lots of help in order to take the course online, and written explanations of problems aren’t enough, so make sure your online course goes far beyond a “pdf” version of a textbook.
Why should I take Algebra 2?
All students should take Algebra 2 because it prepares them for College Algebra, which is a required course for most college degrees. Students who have taken Algebra 2 are much less likely to struggle with College Algebra, and they might even be able to place out of the course.
