Spring 2023
Join us this spring for a fun-filled, hands-on boot camp led by Jonathan Meola that will teach your learner the tips and tricks they need to master both of these crucial mathematical skills.
Spanning twenty sessions, meeting live twice weekly (Tuesdays & Thursdays), we will:
- Get a grounding in the “basics” via various “Skills and Drills”
- Forget using fingers, toes, or calculators to solve problems – it’s all in the power of the mind!
- Take on more complex equations with larger numbers, using the same skills
- Learn how to apply multiplication and division to real-world scenarios
- Build up confidence in one’s abilities that will carry over to more formal math and science classes
Each session will last approximately 55-60 minutes.
Prior to joining this “boot camp”, all learners should be able to:
- Identify all numbers between 1 and 100 without hesitation
- Can add and subtract two numbers between 1 and 10 (without use of a calculator or pen/pencil)
- Be able to follow both verbal and written instruction
- Use an internet-enabled device such as a tablet or smartphone (in addition to a computer) with a browser
- Have support from a parent/adult to assist with initial sign-on issues
Students will be supplied with all materials in our Canvas LMS; it is parents’ responsibility to download and print out paper copies of any worksheets posted under “CLASSWORK” in the scheduled module, prior to the beginning of each session.
We will meet on…
- WEEK 1 – April 18th and April 20th
- WEEK 2 – April 25th and April 27th
- WEEK 3 – May 2nd and May 4th
- WEEK 4 – May 9th and May 11th

- WEEK 8 – June 6th and June 8th
- WEEK 9 – June 13th and June 15th
- WEEK 10 – June 20th and June 22nd

NOTE: Registration deadline is April 2, 2023.
There must be a minimum of FIVE students to run this class.
Learning to love the past
History. This was definitely not my strongest area as a homeschool mother. I knew to provide my kids with what they needed, I had to look at outside resources. Taking a leap of faith, I registered both my 7th and 8th grader for U.S. History with Jonathan Meola.
Learning history through simple short stories using. “A History of US,” has been fun to read-a-loud. With a subject I once disliked myself, I’ve been able to power through, and engage with my children learning to love the past. Mr. Meola is a phenomenally fair instructor, and has allowed our kids to use their creativity for the semester project. The kids have enjoyed this area most about the class. Seeing their creations from the past come to life is a gift in itself. Thank you, Jonathan! You have lit a fire for history within my children!
Thanks for making homeschooling so much easier for us parents
We have absolutely loved Jonathan’s Ancient Civilizations class this year.
He is so organized, and his classes are expertly taught – my son usually makes me leave the room but I will often go back and listen to the recordings and watch some of the videos because they are so interesting.
We are thrilled that OTA is now a vendor with our charter school, and since Z will be in middle school next year, we plan on signing up for a lot more classes.
Keep up the excellent job and thanks for making homeschooling so much easier for us parents!
Best Course EVER!
During our family new year’s celebration, everyone completed a year-in-review questionnaire. One question asked, “What are you most proud of that you accomplished this past year?”
Without hesitation, our daughter blurted out “I learned to write a five-paragraph essay!”
Our daughter, who up until this past semester would only write science lab reports, should be proud of this accomplishment. She willingly dedicated days to completing required essays, and we owe this success to Lights! Camera! Action! class.
Mr. Jonathan’s enthusiasm, instruction, encouragement and feedback all generated a newfound level of confidence within our daughter. Plus, the course spurred everyone in our family (including grandparents) to watch incredible movies, which normally would not be in our Netflix queue. Mr. Jonathan’s impact reached beyond our daughter.
Amazing course!
I would like to say thank you. My daughter, Laura, was so inspired by OTA’s Lights! Camera! Action! class. She WANTS to improve at writing instead of shying away from the process that she finds so difficult. She is putting her heart and soul into trying. I am seeing improvement and I am seeing enthusiasm that just were not there before. You have no idea how joyful that makes me. This latest essay was really, really hard but a bit less overwhelming than the prior two. Slowly the elements that Laura is learning in class are sinking in. I appreciate all that you do for the class! Thank you!
Great class!
