What's included
Homework
1-2 hours per week. Homework will consist of word problems, that increase in difficulty. There will be clearly marked sections - Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, etc. Beginners are encouraged to start at Level 1. More advanced learners may start at a higher level. Students are encouraged to submit 5 problems in a certain level, then move on to the next level. I encourage students to try at least 2 levels per week. Every child is different, but students should spend 30 - 90 minutes on this class every week.Assessment
I'm a big believer in learning from your mistakes. When I give students feedback, I expect them to correct their mistakes and resubmit until they get 100%. Once they get 100% on a certain level, they will get a badge for mastering that level.Class Experience

"My kid can do the math, but they get confused by word problems." Have you said that before? If so, then this class is for you!
Many kids know how to add, subtract, and multiply, but are not sure what to do when they read a word problem. In this class, we will focus on strategies to help your child understand what the word problem is asking them to do. There will also be some review of how to add, subtract, and multiply.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello there! Welcome to a place of learning and fun! I am a certified teacher in math & science for grades 4-8.
My classes are all about engagement. I believe that if students are actively DOING something, they will learn more. You'll never hear me talk for more than 3 minutes at a time. I deliver a small chunk of info, and then I let the students process it by doing something with it. It could be a discussion, lab, worksheet, drawing, or game. I love games!
I teach group science classes, math game classes, and math tutoring. The math game classes are designed for kids who already know the concepts, but just need fun extra practice.
I look forward to working with you and your kiddo!Reviews
