The transformation

From "I'm just not a math person"
to "Oh. I actually get this!"

Most students who struggle with Pre-Algebra aren't missing ability, they're missing a strong foundation. This course fills in those gaps, one concept at a time.

Before

  • "I freeze when I see fractions."
  • Copies steps but doesn't understand them
  • Negative numbers feel random and confusing
  • Math takes forever and ends in frustration
  • Dreading Pre-Algebra or Algebra 1

After

  • "I finally get what numbers are doing."
  • Can explain reasoning, not just copy steps
  • Fractions, decimals, and percents feel manageable
  • Math time feels exciting and doable
  • Feels prepared and genuinely confident

Mrs. Holman, founder of Mrs. Holman's Classroom LLC

Hi, I'm Mrs. Holman.

I've helped hundreds of students take the stress out of middle school math, whether they're homeschooled, in a traditional classroom, or somewhere in between. I know what it feels like when your student stares blankly at fractions, dreads math time, or just can't seem to get the concepts to stick no matter how many times you've tried.

I built this course to give students the solid foundation they need to feel confident and ready going into Pre-Algebra. The goal is not to rush through a curriculum, but to give your student the solid understanding they to make math make sense.

FAQ

Questions? I've got answers.

How long does the course take?

Most students complete it in 8–12 weeks, doing one chapter per week. But you set the pace! Feel free to move faster if your student is clicking along, or take extra time if you hit a hard spot. There's no pressure and no deadline!

Is this a full Pre-Algebra course?

No, this is a readiness course. It focuses on the essential foundational concepts students need before (or alongside) a full Pre-Algebra or Algebra 1 program. Think of it as filling in the gaps without the overwhelm.

Does my child have to be homeschooled?

Not at all! This course works for any student, regardless of school setting. Group instruction often moves quickly and leaves gaps, and this course is designed to fill those in at a pace that works for your student specifically.

Can an older student use this too?

Yes! Many 8th–10th grade students use this as a confidence-building refresher before or during Algebra 1. There's no shame in going back to basics: it's actually one of the smartest things a student can do.

Do I get lifetime access?

You do! Lifetime access for your entire household: come back for review, use it with younger siblings, or let your student revisit chapters any time they need a refresher.

What supplies do we need?

Just a printer, a pencil, and optionally a notebook or binder. Everything else is inside the course.

What's your refund policy?

Because this is a digital course with immediate access to all materials, all sales are final. If you have questions before purchasing, please reach out! I'm happy to help you decide if it's the right fit.

Give your student the foundation they deserve.

No more stress or confusion! Just clear, step-by-step progress toward a math future they can feel excited about.
