Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 6
Beginner Level
This is private tutoring in either elementary school math, beginning Latin, or science enrichment/challenge. (Writing is another area I tutor; feel free to inquire about that.) The skills, content, and concepts will depend on the needs of the learners and the objectives upon which the parents and I agree. 

Please note that if an existing public section has only a certain number of class meetings scheduled (for example five), the opportunity exists to schedule additional meetings—either during the same days/time slot or during mutually available days/times. This gives families the opportunity to try one-on-one tutoring with me to decide whether they want to continue.

The instruction could involve at least one of (but not restricted to) the following features:

MATH:

1) Important skills/concepts related to Common Core standards or topics of the learner's/parent's choosing; areas where the learner is struggling or needs extension/challenge.

2) Determining the learner's "cutting edge" and providing the next step(s) in learning.

LATIN:

1) The acquisition of Latin language fundamentals using classical pronunciation; following the same grammar, vocabulary, word roots in English, and approach that I use in my group Latin classes.

2) Either starting from the beginning for the learner, or building onto what the student has previously learned in my Latin classes (at whichever level completed: my Level 1, 2, 3, or 4).

SCIENCE:

1) Answering the multitude of science-related questions (primarily about astronomy/space exploration and weather) the child may have.

2) Pointing the learner into the right direction to discover additional answers. 

3) Devising or recommending science activities (and perhaps doing those activities with the learner) that should foster discovery of fulfilling answers.

Hello all! I am excited to teach Latin, space, weather, and math classes on Outschool! A retired elementary school science teacher after 33 years in the classroom, I have shared my enthusiasm with young learners for over 40 years. Most of my teaching experience is with students in grades 1 through 6, and I have a Master's degree in Education.

Lucky enough having been a guest columnist on the kids page of a major city newspaper and occasional guest teacher at elementary schools, I taught at a summer gifted and talented science camp for 19 years and classes at a university's gifted and talented program for kids. During a good portion of my years teaching in the brick-and-mortar school setting, I also taught Latin and French to children. Consulting with university scientists, meteorologists, and NASA has enhanced the science learning experiences I deliver. The influence from my dad helped, too, as he was a Ph.D. physicist. 

My main purpose is to inspire students to learn plus fuel their curiosity—with a unique, age-appropriate sense of humor. I can make content and concepts easy for kids to understand—whether it be fundamental or more advanced. Father of two, I stay fit and play sports as well as piano/keyboard. I also tutor students age 6 to 13 in math, science, and language arts. I look forward to seeing you on the screen soon!
