First things first, I will get to know your student and determine gaps in his/ her understanding of multiplication and division. 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: • Multiplication concepts • multiplication fact strategies • fact families (includes division facts) (It’s important to understand the relationship.) • multi-digit multiplication strategies (area-model / box, partial product, traditional, lattice) • math crafts • Division concepts • Division strategies (area model, partial products, traditional long division) • Should I multiply or divide (word problems) • Word Problems In addition, word problems and engaging activities are included each session. When doing word problems students learn how to determine whether to multiply or divide. 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! **Financial assistance application for families needing assistance: https://outschool.com/family-assistance-program#usgToOLmM9

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.
