First things first, I will get to know your student and determine gaps in his/ her understanding of fractions. I will go at the student’s pace. Each session, we will focus on an agreed related topic from school or the following topics depending on your child’s needs, age, and grade which include: • What is a fraction? • Naming fractions • Comparing fractions • Fraction as division • Fractions on a number line • Improper fractions and mixed numbers • Simplifying / reducing fractions • Equivalent fractions • Adding fractions with like denominators • Adding fractions with unlike denominators • Multiplying fractions • Dividing fractions • Converting fractions into decimals • Fractions and percents • Fractions within solving equations • Word Problems In addition, word problems and engaging activities are included. I believe learning should be enjoyable yet challenging. So, I incorporate activities and websites that require student engagement and critical thinking. Your child will enjoy learning and feel so successful that he or she will want to do even more math. I try to end positively with an enjoyable math game, either electronic or with dice or with playing cards. Come as often as you like until the material is mastered. Learning comes from repetition. Let the learning begin!

I am an educator at heart, and I have enjoyed sharing knowledge in a manner that others can understand for over 20 years. I approach teaching with a growth mindset. I engage students through games, have the students actually work problems and share their thinking, incorporate their interests, and include life application.

I am a Math Interventionist, and Adjunct Developmental Math Professor. In the past, I have served as a Regional Math Coach (Elementary), taught 2nd Math/Science (on-level and gifted), 3rd grade Math, and worked as a private Math and Reading Interventionist (grades 2 – 12) for several Title I schools, private and faith-based schools. Many of my students received commendations on standardized math tests. Since 2009, the opportunity to teach for a community college has been my delight. The courses include Pre-algebra, Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, and Mathematics for Business and Social Sciences. The class formats include face-to-face, online and hybrid. In addition, I enjoy working with ESL students.
