Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 2
In this class, students will learn the strategies to help them solve word problems. The class will be fun and interactive. I will use slides as well as props to demonstrate the word problems. The students will learn to read the word problem, look for key words, and comprehend the word problem itself. Then they will learn strategies such as drawing a picture to use as a visual, writing number sentences, and using a number line in order to solve word problems. I look forward to helping your child gain confidence in solving word problems.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Mount Holyoke College
Hello! My name is Erin Howard. I love teaching young learners. My passion is to help your young learner gain the knowledge and confidence in their basic math skills. My math classes focus on skills such as solving word problems, learning math fact families, place value, telling time, geometry, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. 

I have my bachelor’s degree from Mount Holyoke College. I have owned a home daycare, privately tutored students in math, and was a teaching assistant in college. I have taught over 8,000 classes online.

My goal is to bring fun, excitement, and passion into my classroom. It is important for young learners to be engaged, actively participate, and enjoy learning. This builds the foundation of how they will view their journey for knowledge in the future. I know I have accomplished this goal when my students continue to return to my classroom, and I see their personal improvement and how proud they are of their progress.

Outside of work, I am a mother of five children, and I have three grandchildren. My children are my pride and joy. My youngest two children are twins. They are nineteen years old and they are sophomores in college. We enjoy cooking, baking, playing with our dog, watching movies, shopping, and taking trips to visit new places. 

I look forward to this journey with you and your young learner. I will see you in the classroom.
