Class Experience

I tutor all math topics that are covered in a standard curriculum up to grade 10, including basics from previous grades. These can include numeracy, measurement, arithmetic, place value, data management, geometry, fractions, ratios, probability, integers, algebra, pre-calculus, problem solving, and more.

I specialize in building a relationship with my student so that they’re comfortable when I’m identifying their unique learning challenges. I then customize the math curriculum and approach it with their  strengths, goals, and interests in mind.

I don't focus on grades or perfect answers. I encourage my students to take risks, make guesses, and learn from and correct their own mistakes. We celebrate effort and persistence, and boost academic confidence.

If you have a learner with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, or dyscalculia, I explore ways to engage with math concepts from a new direction, and bring my students up to their full potential!

This class is designed for your unique learner, so it does not yet have a "set" curriculum. 


The course will always include certain elements:

I will get to know your learner – what emotions they feel about math, what kinds of games and challenges they like, what they like to do for fun, and what makes them feel engaged?
I will use humor to put your learner at ease and encourage engagement.
I will informally assess your learner’s strengths and skills, and identify their learning gaps and obstacles.
I will meet with parents and carers to consult about learning goals and discuss successful strategies.
I will engage with your learner’s current math challenges and address basics that need to be reinforced.
I will build your learner’s confidence by encouraging them to celebrate and learn from their mistakes, accept new challenges, and recognise the steps they are taking towards math mastery.
I will customize, update, and discuss the curriculum with flexibility.

Depending on your learner, the course may include some of the following:

I may adapt structured curriculum from outside sources such as Khan Academy, Common Core, 
I may approach specific challenges through drawing, storytelling, rhyming, games, challenges, or whatever engages the learner.
I may focus on relieving stress and/or anxiety about math
I may use creative techniques to keep the learner engaged and at the screen
I may encourage specific activities to practice math outside of the class
I may (at the discretion of the parent or carer) talk informally about learning challenges in general or specific to the learner
Learning Goals
Confidence and enjoyment in math learning will be strengthened
Specific math challenges unique to your learner will be found and addressed with patience and creativity
