1 on 1 Summer Catch up or Get Ahead Math Tutoring Kindergarten to Geometry

Each learner will be expected to bring a copy of their math assignment to each class session.  This may be a digital or a hardcopy.  A Math For The Middles tutor will review the homework assignment and go through the assignment with them for the duration of the class session.  If an assignment is completed early, then the tutor will provide additional exercises of practice to either reinforce the topic or dive into a deeper level of the topic for advanced learning.  Our goals during each session is for learners to build their math self-esteem and feel proud of their work.  

The following topics are available for homework review:
