Emergency Math! Tutoring 1:1 For Algebra & Geometry
Is your learner in a pinch? Then perhaps a teacher with 20+ years of experience can help. I specialize in removing math anxiety and making the problems easier by having fun with them, using illustrations, jokes, and examples that work.

Description
Class Experience
This is a 45-minute one-to-one tutoring session for any student seeking help on their homework or who needs help reviewing their high school Algebra or Geometry concepts. Topics in Algebra 1 include Algebra Foundations, solving equations and inequalities, working with units, linear equations with graphs, equations, or tables, the point-slope, slope-intercept, and standard form of equations, solving systems of equations and inequalities (including graphs), functions (evaluating, interpreting...
This class is taught in English.
Students will improve their understanding of algebra or geometry by working out problems from their homework or preparing for exams for accreditation.
I have taught math and science from middle school, through high-school college-prep, and tutored at the college level. In the over 20 years that I have been teaching, I have developed multiple approaches in order to accommodate learners with varied learning abilities, including those with ADHD, dyslexia, or math anxiety. I worked with the Strategic Alternative Learning Techniques (SALT) program at the University of Arizona for the four years I attended the university.
No homework as this is a one-time class. Students who wish to meet on an ongoing basis may be given assignments if they ask for them and are enrolled for more than one session in advance.
I will ask if there are any PDF files provided that we can view together.
No formal assessment unless requested. Informal reports are given to the parents to review what their learners have learned and if there are any suggestions for additional or remedial skill sets.
45 minutes per class, and maybe some time outside of class.
Let me know in advance what the particular topic is that your learner is having difficulty with so I can be prepared and ready with my notes and reference materials.
At the teacher's discretion, I may refer the learner to a video they can watch to follow up on a concept we worked on in the class. I may provide a PDF file of practice problems if the learner is signed up for more than one session and at the learner's or parent's request. No account is necessary to watch a YouTube video or view a PDF file.
