Hi, I'm Cheryl
I can help you with your math homework, improve your math skills, or help you understand a math concept.
I have helped a lot of kids gain confidence in math. They say that I'm fun, patient and I understand how they need to be taught.
My vision is that every child gets the support they need to succeed in math. Succeeding in math can open a lot of doors. That's why I say, Math Is Your Path!
...............................................................................
I offer a variety of small group classes. I have tried to give parents choices between one-time, multiday and ongoing classes. I also private tutor Grades 5-Algebra. I tutor up to grade 11 in Canada, as the curriculum is slightly different.
CLASSES INCLUDE:
- Algebra 1, Grades 6-8
- Test Prep: SAT, PSAT
- Become a Multiplication Master- now with NUMBER SENSE
- Mastering Fractions
- Multiplication and Division Mastery
- Polynomials, PEDMAS, Word Problems
- One:one, Private tutoring - I can fit your schedule
What type of math help does your child need? I am always adding classes, so please let me know what you'd like me to teach. Just send me a note about your needs.
See a class you like but not at a time that works for you? No problem, put a request in and I will see what I can do.
..........................................................................
I provide students with the skills and knowledge they will need to succeed in high school, college and beyond.
I teach high-quality content. My material is rigorous and meaningful to everyday life.
I requalified as a Senior Math Teacher at the University of Toronto in 2015. So, I am current regarding math teaching techniques. My classes are research-based, brain-boosting, and most of the "new" buzz words.
I follow Fishtank Learning (fishtanklearning.org), a charter school curriculum that has received the highest ratings by EdReports (https://www.edreports.org). Fishtank Learning prepares students to succeed in college and beyond.
.........................................................................................
I am an experienced classroom math teacher and hold a professional teaching certificate (University of Toronto) in the province of Ontario, Canada.
...................................................................................................................................................
I also have a Masters in Business Administration (MBA 2009, University of Calgary). I have worked for large corporations (pharmaceutical and telecommunications), plus I started my own successful business working with engineers, technicians, scientists. I have a lot of first-hand experience how math is used in the "real" world.
.......................................................................................
When I'm not teaching online, I am busy gardening (my passion), playing chef in the kitchen, hiking in the beautiful Rocky Mountains, cycling, or just hanging out with friends. Cosimo, my cat, likes to check zoom, so don't be surprised if he tries to show off in the middle of a lesson!
...................................................................................
