(For students who have Math anxiety) I set up the chat in the class for private. So students can answer questions in the chat and only I get to see the answers.I do not call on anyone to answer questions in front of the class, I simply write an exercise on the whiteboard and encourage all to answer via the chat, again in private and I give you private feedback. This lowers the anxiety level a ton. :) NOTE: If no one shows after 10 minutes. Class is cancelled. No makeups, no refunds no exceptions. Students will learn to add , subtract , multiply and divide fractions and mixed numbers. The way I teach this skill is very easy to learn and your child will be prepared for success in Algebra. In this class I will show students how to do an exercise on the white board.They will learn how to add and subtract positive and negative numbers by actually doing example exercises during class. I will repeat with another exercise and will explain as many times as needed until the students are ready to do the exercises by themselves. Once started, I will check their answers for accuracy and follow up with any necessary explanations. I encourage all participants to try as many exercises as possible. I follow up the class with an upload of homework with the solutions. Course break down: Week 1: Adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators. Week 2: Adding and subtracting mixed numbers with unlike denominators. Week 3: Subtraction of mixed numbers with borrowing. Week 4: Multiplying fractions and mixed numbers. Week 5: Dividing fractions and mixed numbers. Week 6: Word Problems.(Adding and Subtracting) Week 7: Word Problems. (Multiplying and Dividing) Week 8: Review

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from University of Houston
As a private tutor since 1995 I learned that students want a math teacher who is friendly, non-judgemental and is interested in their success in math.
Students want concise and simple explanations.
I have developed my own method of teaching this skill.
I have successfully taught this skill to hundreds of students .
Once you learn it you will never forget it.
After watching Khan Academy and You tube videos on this topic I have seen nothing like the method I teach.
This skill is essential in order to learn Algebra properly.
I provide quality instruction to your child, you will be glad you chose me as his/her math teacher.
