Class Experience

US Grade 6
Are you looking for a Fall course that offers a full curriculum? If so, this is the course for you. This course can be used as a full curriculum for 6th grade and 7th grade math topics. I will help your child reach their fullest potential while having fun learning math. I will work with your child to review difficult math concepts. At the beginning of the class, I will determine where they are in their understanding of the math concept. This course is prepared to introduced students for 6th grade and seventh grade common core math or revisit key topics they may have struggled with before moving on. (Make up classes available)
Class structure: 1) Greetings
                            2) short lesson on the topic (It will be teacher led using a dry erase board/ slide show/ power point presentation)
                            3) Each child will be able to demonstrate their understanding of the topic.
                            4)  Kahoot game/ Blooket game/ gimlet for collaborative play / jeopardy for collaborative play based on the topic 
Due to the fact that this is an ongoing course, students can enroll for additional support and practice. Homeschooled students can enroll for a complete math curriculum. Students are charged weekly and can enroll or unenroll at any time. 

*Topics may change based off the students’ needs.
Parents should reach out to me to keep me informed about the schedule. This way we can incorporate their topics during the lessons.

K5 learning website Worksheet (with permission) will be used in the classroom, at times. IXL website with permission will be used, as well. I have created canva worksheets that I will be assigning for homework that is optional.
NOTE: Students may enroll or unenroll at any time. This course is designed to drop in when you please. It is a great course to take to keep your learners engaged and learning. It is a fun and relaxed course. No prior knowledge of sixth grade math is necessary. Weekly topic can change at the request of the students or parents. Topics are flexible. Please reach out if you would like a different topic covered that week.

Teacher expertise and credentials
New York Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hello! I'm Karen McGougain Diaz, but my students know me as Teacher K. With over a decade of experience as a special education itinerant teacher in New York City, I’ve had the privilege of working across diverse classroom environments, including collaborative team teaching, self-contained classrooms, and integrated settings. I’ve taught students aged three to fifteen, focusing on all developmental domains—gross and fine motor skills, cognitive growth, and social-emotional development.

I hold a dual degree in Childhood General Education and Special Education, along with twelve graduate credits toward a master’s in Literacy. In January 2021, I earned my professional New York State teaching certificate, affirming my commitment to excellence in education.

Currently, I serve as an elementary tutor specializing in reading, writing, and math for Varsity Tutors, and I also work as an early intervention specialist. My tutoring experience spans 18 years, during which I have supported students from pre-kindergarten to 12th grade with organizations like Champion Learning, Sylvan Learning Center, and Varsity Tutors. Additionally, I teach creative writing at various summer camps and programs throughout NYC, nurturing young writers' creativity.

My teaching philosophy centers on the belief that we must educate the child, not just the curriculum. I adopt a child-centered approach, engaging students actively in their learning processes. I firmly believe that every child has the potential to learn, and I strive to foster this through positive reinforcement and encouragement, tailoring lessons to their interests and strengths.

On a personal note, I have a passion for music and enjoy playing the alto saxophone. Numbers and math excite me, and I love creating and making things, anything art related. I love to sing and ride bikes. These interests often enrich my lessons, making learning fun and relatable for my students.
