How Algebra 1 Rescue works

01 · Diagnostic

Free 30-minute diagnostic.

Online. Mapped to the Algebra 1 reporting categories. Most students are not bad at math. They are missing 2 or 3 old skills.

Your part 30 minutes online. No cost.

02 · Gap map

A gap map in 24 hours.

One page for the parent. Which topics are solid, which need work, and where to start.

For you You see the plan before you pay for anything.

03 · Sessions

Two sessions a week.

45 minutes each, online, about 10 in all. A short practice set after each one, 10 to 15 minutes a day. The calendar is built back from the test date or Dec 18.

Reminders Every session is on a shared calendar.

04 · Friday

A Friday update for you.

Readiness by topic, attendance, practice done, and the next step. If a quiz goes badly, forward the alert or a screenshot and get a plan the same day.

Is it a fit?

Who Algebra 1 Rescue is for.

Parents

  • Your student’s Algebra 1 grade is slipping, or they need the EOC to graduate.
  • You want a plan with dates, not open-ended tutoring.
  • You want a short Friday update instead of checking the portal every night.
  • Online sessions work for your family.

Students

  • In Algebra 1 now with a slipping grade, or retaking the Algebra 1 EOC.
  • Can make two 45-minute online sessions a week.
  • Will do 10 to 15 minutes of practice on most days.
  • Wants to fix the gaps, not just get through the next quiz.

Need Geometry instead? Ask. It is by request.

Keep-Going Guarantee

If the work gets done, I keep going.

Keep-Going Guarantee: your student meets the Algebra 1 requirement or raises their grade one letter, or I keep tutoring free. Conditions apply, see link.

Keep-Going Guarantee. If your student attends every scheduled session (sessions I cancel or move do not count against your student) and completes at least 80% of the assigned practice, and either (a) does not meet the Algebra 1 assessment requirement in the Nov 30 to Dec 18, 2026 window (the FLDOE passing score, including the alternate passing score of 398 where it applies, or an FLDOE comparative score) or (b) for a student who had a C or below in Algebra 1 at sign-up and enrolled at least 4 weeks before Dec 18, 2026, does not raise the Algebra 1 Q2 grade by at least one letter, I will keep tutoring at no charge, up to 6 additional 45-minute sessions, used within 8 weeks of the score or Q2 grade. This is not a refund and not a promise of a score or grade. It is free additional tutoring under the conditions above. Ask for it within 14 days of receiving the score or the Q2 grade.

What this means in plain terms

  • The trigger is "meets the Algebra 1 requirement", never "pass" or a raw 400. Some students qualify with the FLDOE alternate score of 398 (https://www.fldoe.org/file/7764/GradRequireFSA.pdf).
  • It applies to Algebra 1 Rescue ($229). It does not cover the $25 trial session or single sessions.
  • "Meets the requirement" includes the routes FLDOE allows instead of the EOC (FLDOE Table 4, https://www.fldoe.org/file/7764, memo DPS-2025-66). For students who entered grade 9 in 2023-24 or later: SAT Math 420, PSAT/NMSQT Math 430, PSAT 10 Math 430, ACT Math 16, PreACT Secure Math 16, CLT 14, or Geometry EOC Level 3. Or CLT 11 for students who entered grade 9 in 2020-21 to 2022-23 (that group also has SAT 420, PSAT/NMSQT 430, ACT 16, or Geometry EOC Level 3). If your student meets it any of these ways, that counts as success, and I'll help you check each route.
  • The grade part applies only to students at a C or below when they sign up, with at least 4 weeks to go before Dec 18.
  • Practice completion appears in your Friday update, so you can track it.
  • To ask for it, email olivemathwpb@agentmail.to with the score or Q2 grade.
